Hey /o/ I just bought a nissan frontier and I just noticed the tires are rotted. Should I replace them or can I last a week on these tires?
>>14210476
Bump
should be okay but that weird inconsistent crack near the bottom right is a bit unsettling. could be an indication of a bigger problem. as long as there are no blisters(bulges that rise above the tread) or intense vibrations you should be fine.
post a picture of the cracking in the sidewall if the cracks are wider than 1 mm I'd replace them.

maybe it's a plug from a nail?
How much money should I spend on my first DD?
$10
About 2/3 of how much you have saved, minimum $1500 (negotiated down from $2000+) unless you're getting some kind of special deal from a friend or relative.
If you want something truly reliable, double that unless you're getting a 90s Civic, Corolla, Accord or Camry.

How's an 03 Lancer in excellent condition, clean title, 2 owners, 99k Miles on it, beautiful interior, no rust on the bottom, no leaks, passed computer testing, and negotiated down to $1600 from $2300 sound? (We negotiated well because my friend's a dealer and the dude selling it bough the car from auction, so we know exactly how much he bought it for, kek)
how'd I do /o/

literally stop liking what i don't like the thread.
did you seriously had to make a thread about this?
>>14210274
No. If they liked the civic they wouldn't try to make it into a sports car.
There's no reason for this behaviour

What's /o/'s take on FWD Mercs?
The CLA is a rolling piece of garbage for retards that want a cheap, new tri-star and don't care about anything other than the logo.
Me? Meh, they've got to increase sales on way or the other, and using a generalized platform to produce a "cheap" car that normies will fancy because of
>muh luxury brand
/o/'s opinion? Utter disdain
My opinion is that nowadays too many brands try to serve too many submarkets. The world doesn't need Mercedes compacts, Lamborghini SUVs, Ford supercars or Honda and Toyota pickup trucks just for Americans.
What is the most patrician car you know?
No one who just wants -a- car will pick this car as their car, even when they want a classic car. Anyone who buys this car will buy it specifically because it's this car and no other car, which in turn serves as an automatic validation of their patrician taste.

Great choice. Also nice dubs.

I was driving fast on a wet motorway and my car skidded. I bumped the wall and the steering was all fucked up after that and the car gave a sign "esp inoperative". Nobody else was hit and I managed to get it off the motorway into a residential area. I walked out of the area and While waiting for the taxi a cop car came out of the area and asked me where I was from and had I been drinking. I knew they could tell I was drunk so I said yes and said I came from a pub and they then drove off.
What is the best course of action? I'm not well versed in the law,...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>police drives away after you admitted to being drunk, and now having probable cause to detain you
What?
>>>14209910
I admitted because if I lied they'd know and because I figured if I lied they'd probe me further, which they didn't.

>>14209839
Maybe, it is a race car.
My family is going to Europe in a few months but my dad keeps telling us how we have to "pack light because the rental car isn't going to be that big." According the the rental car company, it's going to be a Renault Fluence or Skoda Octavia or something similar. I've looked at pictures of them but I'm still kinda unsure what the size of them is like. What do we have here in the US that's comparable in size to these cars?
Think somewhere between a Ford Focus sedan and a Ford Fusion.
>>14209425
The Octavia is a Passat underneath which in turn you clapburguers also known as an Audi A4.
The Fluence is similar.
>>14209425
Rapid would be comparable to the Focus. Or a Megane from Renault.
You're OP cars to a smaller segment.

Ight fuckers, i got a 265deh comp cam (442int )(462exh) should i change valve springs? Engine was rebuilt like 20k ago
Pic related: the turd as its being polished

I don't think its necessary with that profile, its going to run out of steam before you hit valve float.
