dumb frog poster.
For some reason I'm blessed with a mother who understands stuff like this. She has no knowledge or interest in it, but if I explain something I'm doing to her car, my own or similar then she actually does get the idea of how things work
I know that feel bro.
Does anyone here buy and flip wrecked cars from insurance auctions? how are the profits if you do the work yourself?
Catstang did but he decided to go cry. Sometimes I wonder what he's been up to and how his mustang has been going.

>clean title, easy fix
Fucking craigslist
I know a Polish guy up in Canada that does this, though he's shady about it. He buys wrecked cars for really cheap, fixes them, then passes them off as clean. He makes pretty good money but is scummy
I don't know shit about motorsports aside from Nascar and F1, what other series are worth watching?
MotoGP, WRC, Indy, Formula e, and GP2 are all good fun. Indy can be a bit long winded at times but if you watch NASCAR that shouldn't be a problem.

We need a motorsport where people drive upside down on a track. If you slow down too much you literally fall off.
It would be amazing to watch

are the old miatas good? Around 1995. If its good then how much is not a rip off?

If I am honest I'd probably swing for the ATS-V
Just god damn GM knocked that car out of the park, plus comes standard with two turbos.
Plus you can get 550 RWHP with just a tune and downpipe which is pretty fucking nuts

do you wanna be shitposted on the internet for looking like a redneck [camaro] or do you wanna be shitposted on the internet for not having bought a german equivelent? [the caddy]

ATS-V
it looks like a car, not a giant hot wheel
do people automatically assume that i have a tiny dick if i drive one of these?
>>14211603
Yes
>>14211608
>>14211612
is it bothersome?
I don't care about your dick, so I just assume you have shit taste. Really, badly shit taste.
What do you think of my idea
>>14211591
Or you could just use hydraulic steering...
>>14211609
That adds complexity and weight, and can fail

enh. When it's a totally custom made DOHC head that doesnt mean much
>>14211646
It's beautiful and helps make oodles of power. what's not to love?
OS Giken heads are like 100,000 dollaroos. Nice to think about and infinitely more modern-looking than the SOHC head, but I'm pretty resigned to never having one.
Thinking of getting one of these for the following reasons:
>pick up shit for the house that's too large for the car
>take the dogs into the woods
>take mountain biking
>take camping twice a year
>hauling the motorcycles when needed
>just drive when I'm not in the mood to drive the bikes or cars
What should I know about these donkeys? The only thing I'm really...

Reasons to buy a new car vs used:

Cheap as fuck used car over new car.
