Own just 1 of these cars, any of them, for a significant amount of time, and you've secured your ticket to gearhead valhalla. Just 1. Then you can get lazy and drive a minivan with your family and we won't bat an eye. But touch greatness, even for a moment, before selling out. Everything else is just a waste of time.

Some of these are acquirable, a few are downright affordable to daily.
MR2 Prices have been low for years and will stay low for a while as the wave of 2015 240Z neufanboiz grows even larger.
Their bang for the buck rival miatas and porsches.
Doesn't have to look blatantly 90's rice either. Look at this classy motherfucker

If i tune my ecoboost mustang will it explode? like, i foolishly bought one but i have never trusted american quality and trying to make it crank out any additional power kind of terrifies me. i feel like it'll blow a hole in the block or something if i try and churn 40 extra ft/lbs of torque out of it.

Get a set of Mashimoto ZX. They are used for precision driving in the street racing world.

we don't care about cars here, they're just transportation devices.
What the hell is the 3800 recall for? All I keep reading is it for's engine fires after hard breaking.
>>14107263
Wasn't this something about leaky valve covers and then when you brake the oil spills on to the hot exhaust?
Mine has never done such a thing.
>>14107273
So the repair will be valve cover gaskets? That would be sweet since my rear one is leaking

Garage.
Hi /o/
So last week I was at a car meet and there was this a old dude that was selling his 1975 Mitsubishi Lancer Celeste for 5000$. The car was rust free and pretty well taken care off.
Now I'm good friends with guy that works at a garage that specifically builds 4g63t engines. He has connections with the guys at Buschur Racing so he knows his DSM stuff. I went to him and asked and he told me has a slightly stock 6 bolt 4g laying around that he overhauled. He told me he'll help me with the build if I plan on going thru with it.
I was planning...

post regular cars manufacturers just got right.
Ford thread?
I have a work truck for work/ daily driver. But for the weekends, I have my girlfriend's econobox Civic. I've saved enough to buy something in the ~$12,000 range. I've never owned a manual fun "sporty" car, but I am interested in the '05+ Mustang GT's, or thr Pontiac GTO/ G8. I also do a tiny bit of off roading, where a 2WD pickup would be plenty to get the job done. And after driven a 5.7L Ram, and chevies with regearing, of 4.10's or 3.92's or w/e, they really haul ass.
What do you guys think?

maybe it's just me but this seems likes an obvious choice. I'd take a sport car over a generic pickup anyday
>>14118922
I plan on going on some test drives. I've never driven an actual sports car. The internet seems to rave about miatas... something I just can't comprehend... With trucks... sure, when stock, are boring. With new gears in the differential, rear tires lowered PSI, it'll throw you back in the seat like something with a whole lot more horsepower.

That's what's called torque
looking to rent a place with a garage to work on my car in the winter/at night/in the rain without issue
for those fagg/o/ts renting with a garage, how did you find your place? did you have to take a townhouse with roomates?
>>14118762
>did you have to take a townhouse with roomates?
Yes, but no roomates.
>>14118780
>solo rent a townhouse
sounds expensive as fuck
>>14118785
It is but it's better than dealing with roomates.

At those prices and your automotive expertise this troll post is 0/10
If for some ungodly reason this is real then just get an accord or civic.
