How do we make American cars great again?
You fix the abysmal build quality. It seems like unless they're building a truck rental-tier is good enough for most of the Big Three's cars.
Chrysler has stepped up there game. Drove a new 200s 3.6 awd and a 300s. Both felt smooth as silk. Buicks are way better now then the shit they built the last 20 years. Chevys still feel low quality as well as Fords. Im holding out for the new Continental 3.0 turbo.
We let the Big Three go under.

Tomorrow I'm going to pick up my first manual car and I'm a little worried about the drive back. I have a little bit of experience with it but none on the actual roads. I'm pumped to be driving stick finally and I'd like to hear your stories about learning to drive stick or learning to drive in general.
Tl;dr: post your stories about learning to drive
Pic related, the car I'm going to pick up tomorrow

once you buy it, ask the buyer to drive you to a nearby parking lot
then you spend the next hour AT LEAST just practicing starting in first gear, keep doing it until you have a good grasp on it and it starts to become muscle memory
then find a slight incline somewhere and repeat the exercises for another hour, using the parking brake to hill-hold.
after getting proficient at both of those activities, everything else becomes trivial as fuck, you're basically done "learning" how to drive stick after two hours because starting from a stop is...

Would I see much (if any) improvement in gear shifting if I were to do a CDV Delete on an e36 with an automatic transmission?
->>14682946 You'd have major shifting improvement if you convert it to a manual
Why do people who start these shit threads never look at the catalog?
is $4000 too much for a 2001 camry with 55000 miles?
2014 Mitsubishi Mirage DE
Is it a decent vehicle?
My mom is looking into one, $8k and 75k miles.
Take that 8k and buy a 10 year old corolla.
No.
8 Corollas
Just got this '08 Impreza 2.5i on Wednesday. Was doing some research and was going to put a new intake manifold, computer tuning, whole new exhaust system, and finally pulleys on it. This enough you think to get the car into the low 200 hp range?

/o/ probably won't know, have you tried hitting up a Subie board instead?
We want something that has less road noise.
Still want a hatch back
Still want AWD
more power than the base impreza would be nice.
Will one of these suit out needs? Are they good cars?
>>14682356
>Will one of these suit out needs?
probably
>Are they good cars?
Show me a good CUV.
There aren't any. Just get a used Impreza WRX or STI hatch.
>>14682356
It's a shitty car for badgewhores. A hatchback CLA
1) no, you don't need awd for snow, you need snow tires and awd is basically pointless unless you live up a 45 degree hill in canada
2) why a crossover? you'll never take it offroad, or on anything more than a gravel road, the ride height is pointless
3)gas mileage will always be compromised in a crossover
Is there a good turbo car I can buy for <8k that isn't the WRX or Mazdaspeed?
Corvair Monza
>>14682236
MR2 turbo

FUCK EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know that feel. I washed the gf and my car before it snowed here on Saturday. What makes its worse is that they decided to salt the road despite the previous day's of sunny weather. What state/part of Canada, fellow anon?
>>14682191
Albany here. worst winter ever. cold without snow. it's like purgatory. can't ski or snowmobile, but still have to be cold.
Why do people do this? I saw this car yesterday, it's a 1995-2000 Hyundai lantra, with a fake turbo sticker on it, some pointless and fucking ugly body kit that just adds weight and makes him look like a tool, a spoiler, p plates, stickers from a shitty workshop in a different state, and while you can't see it well in the pic it's also got a fart can.
Also general rice thread I guess.
>>14681861
Because you aren't aloud to have a fast car in AUS so you can only have a slow car that looks fast.
>>14681861
>p plates
Isn't that why?
These donks are literally faster than 99% of /o/

drag racing is possibly the shittiest and most irrelevant "motorsport" there is.
not on the corners/thread

>his car has poor acceleration
how are you going to get to that next corner quickly on that straight, anon?
Things to look into when buying a relatively clean 02' WRX? The one i'm looking at has 120k miles, I know the usual compression test and such but anything else i should know?
>>14681762
Has the timing belt been changed?
>>14681762
check for bad head gaskets, the 02-04 models are the worst offenders
check if the timing belt service was done at 100k, if not you NEED to do it asap, should run you ~1.5k if you don't do it yourself
check water pumps make sure they're not fucked, those should have been replaced already as well
leave the car running for at least 15 minutes when you come to look at it and make sure there aren't any noticeable oil leaks
how much are they asking OP? 120k is on the low end...

Do not know, looking at a few clean ones, of course i will ask for recent service records. Just wanna know if there's other suspension issues or things to look at

The new Mustang is the sexiest one yet and if you disagree you can fucking fight me
M2 vs M3 vs M4?
Manual or Auto?
White or another colour?
New or used?
Or another car? My parents are letting me drive a 2015 x5 but I want a sports car, and I feel like the car I'm driving isn't mine.
>>14681628
M4, manual, new with balloon financing
>my parents
>x5
Oh wait, get a job or jump off a bridge trust fund baby
Make sure you're wearing your best salmon shorts and golf shirt
>>14681635
No no, I work and make 80k a year I'm only driving this because I was involved in an accident and my parents bought this as a family car.
What's balloon financing? And white for the colour?
M2, manual, white, new (used if possible).
How fucked am I? I curbed my wheel today and I'm running on a donut. Will I need a new wheel?
Consider yourself lucky looks like you just need a tire...I did this a few weeks ago!!!
