Basically making this thread to vindicate my purchase. I'm paranoid. I borrowed some money from family and bought a used car. I spent 2900 on a used 2007 toyota yaris. 233k miles. It drivers smooth as fuck. Did I fuck up on something so high on mileage? I spent weeks looking. It was the best I could do for something newer model with a good reputation. Strictly highway miles, the owner commuted to Columbus Ohio from Belpre Ohio. Any tips for 200k mileage cars? The engine still sounds good. A mild low whine when i accelerate. Barely noticeable and I am not sure its the engine...

You dun goofed
You could've gotten an older car with lower mileage for the same price.
You could have bought a Miata, you stupid fuck.
Hey /o/, I was wondering, what's better for recovery? Chain or straps? Is there a difference in how much capacity there is? Any difference in safety?
>>14669442
Straps are softer when you tug on them.
Chains are more harsh but generally stronger and more expensive.
helicopters
chains are far stronger but straps are far safer, easier to move around(weight) and take less storage room. straps also won't rust and are considerably cheaper depending on the size you need
The VAG meme has cursed me /o/ . Muh DD just anally fucked me . My golf literally won't start . It's a 2.0 diesel auto (because yuropoor , before you ask) , and when i depress the brake and turn the ignition , the car won't crank over . Starter motor doesn't spin , just makes a clicking noise . It also says that i have to keep the brake depressed , which i am doing by living in eastern europe and keeping my foot on it . EVEN THE FUCKING CLUSTER INDICATOR SAYS THAT I'M PRESSING IT .
What could be the problem ? Battery is good , no sparks or...

Doesnt click you say?
Smack the starter with a crow bar or something (not too hard just a tap) then try if still nothing. It could be your beutral safety switch, or your ignition is bad. When you turn the key to the on position (right before starting) can you hear the fuel pump "whirr"?
>>14669230
dead battery.
how do you know the battery is good?
a clicking noise, and no starter is the battery not having enough amps to start
is it cold there? sounds like a dead battery
even if its showing 12.6v, it could have low amprage, and not start.
Try jump starting it, or charging the battery.
>>14669230
This used to happen to my mums 2006 Passat 2.0 TDI. It's probably a really easy fix, just disconnect the battery, wait 15 mins, plug it back in and it should start. Do this before fucking about with anything else.

Red Bull F1 designer Adrian Newey will make a road-going hypercar for Aston Martin.
The key statements about the upcoming car are Aston’s goals. They’re projecting the hypercar will be faster around Silverstone than an F1 car, also claiming it will be the fastest production road car for sale when it debuts later this decade.
Codenamed Project “AM-RB 001,” the new car will combine Newey’s aerodynamic and engineering know-how with Aston Martin’s design language penned by Marek Reichman.
Red Bull’s F1 cars will run with Aston Martin logos on their...

Hey guys, Im thinking of buying a used Infiniti G37xS. Can be had for around 17k. Am I making a mistake?
Sure, I don't see why not.
Are you a girl? If so, no
Test drive it and see if you like it
Is there a car in the US smaller than a Geo Metro? I like driving tiny cars and want something just as small as this if not even more.

Yes

This car is incredible. For 60k you can buy a fucking god machine that slams nearly every European car into the ground. I seriously don't think Europe has anything on American cars at this point. We are building machines for hundreds of thousands less that will curb stomp them. What is going on?
If you want a giant shitposting thread it'd be easier to just post like Corey does.

/o/ i found out a Challenger SRT Hellcat 2015 for $31k. what /o/ thinks about this deal. i haven't see the car yet, but is from AutoNation, so i think is ok. can i buy it?
Do you have $31K sitting around? If yes, you can buy it; if no, can you acquire financing for a $31K automobile purchase? If yes, then you can buy it (but you shouldn't).

I think if they can't afford to take pictures on anything less than a hamburger, then they couldn't afford regular maintenance

What's /o/'s opinion on this?

Dude what the fuck are they doing. Why do all the new ford trucks looks like shit
>>14666116
Dude what?
Their trucks look masculine as fuck, which looks good to me (inb4 masculinity insecurity)
Imo the other trucks look kind of dull by comparison
