Seriously wondering what type of car I could afford. I'm really into the Porsche 944, but I also like other old cars like BMW's and Volvo 850R for example.
I'm a citizen of the Europoor provence named The Netherlands.
Currently:
Living: With parents
Bank: €62.200
Car: None
Net income: €1.750 (€2.150 gross)
Will I ever be able to afford my dream car, the Porsche 944? It doesn't make financial sense to buy one. I need around €185.000 for a tiny home, or better €200.000.
Currently the highest mortgage I can...

Literally me OP. Except I got 50k in the bank and a 40K car (AUD currency)
thinking of selling my car buying something much cheaper than buying a house and working hard to pay it off within 5-8 years
Depends if you live in the city/ need a car
If you don't need one save up, or buy a shell if you can't wait
>>14118081
OP here, what's a shell?
Having trouble deciding on a new car - Thought, maybe just go out and buy a bad ass muscle car, you know, treat myself to something nice for once. So I go to the local Ford place, and sit in one. The interior is the cheapest shit I've ever seen. The interior of my 2001 Sentra is better made. I mean, the rolling knobs on the dash are wobbly, the rocker switched are loose, the dials are hard plastic. Everything feels cheap to touch and feel, and looks like a cheap kids toy that was made in China. Ford, are you fucking kidding me? And has the Automotive press even said anything?

>complains about the interior
Fucking millennials
>>14117930
Who gives a shit about interior?
I sat in 2001 Sentra. The interior was cheap and the gauges were made out of hard candy. Everything looked like it had been made in japan.

Tell me about this car.
>This is a white car

It's a very cheap economy car.
>>14117421
It's an obstacle for other drivers when you put it on the highway
This is the incredible Hainan Xiaohuohua electric sportscar from China, featuring a super sleek and futuristic body, painted in a bright Ferrari red. There is only one example in existence at the moment, but more might follow if there is enough interest from potential investors and buyers
The Xiahuohua is based on an low-speed electric vehicle (LSEV) platform, purchased online as well. Top speed is a somewhat disappointing 30 kilometer per hour;
While waiting for the money to show up he handily rents the car out for wedding photos and shop openings and such.
Chen studies automotive engineering at the South China Agricultural University (web), but plans to drop out soon to focus completely and solely on car design. He started working on the Xiaohuohua in late 2014, and spend a grand total of 30.000 yuan or 4740 US dollar to design and build it.
He was helped by his father who has a company making fibre-reinforced plastics (FRB), which is the material where the car is made from. Chen did the molding and modelling by himself. He bough the other parts he needed on the internet.

Anyone else pissed off at Ford GT? It has a v6tt rather than their new flat plane crank v8, the price is ridiculous (400k) and only 250 will be made per year.
Both the v6tt and v8 meet le mans standards, but former has more horsepower and probably torque. That's the reasonable argument as to why they would use it, but is it worth the boomer nostalgia and the sound?
>>14117364
It isn't worth the boomer nostalgia and sound, especially since they would have to spend a considerable amount of money getting that flat plane crank v8 up to the same R&D levels as the V6TT that already has proven itself in endurance series for a good while now.
I wish it got the V8, but the V6TT is clearly the more sound choice, and allowed them to put more money into developing other portions of the car. (Like its unibody composition and what not.)

>Anyone else pissed off at Ford GT?
no, not at all. I think its a beautiful car and I hope it wins the lelmans. The car is cool as fuck, its expensive and flashy and ill never own one. I think its a really neat way to show off their 6 cylinder engine technology
>>14117364
The V8 wouldn't fit.
Currently at the dealer waiting my financing report.
Does /o/ think this is a good deal?

horrible shoop

Looks boring
For those of you who have friends:
>do you ever charge for gas money?
>if so, when and why?
If I'm gonna go somewhere and they want to ride along, then no I don't ask for gas money
If j have to go out of my way, picking them up or taking a friend who doesn't have a car someplace I wasn't going, then yes I do
Also if I'm low on gas and have no money then I see if anyone wants to invest in not pushing my car
No. If I had a friend who never helped anyone else out and was always bumming rides I might consider it but as is we all help each other out here and there and that's all there is to it. I give a buddy a ride and don't charge him for gas. He orders a pizza later in the week and covers it on his own. And so forth.
Now, planning a long trip where everyone pitches in is a different story. But just around town and shit? Nah.
>>14116641
I dont charge for gas money. Then again, all my friends have cars of their own. If we do drive somewhere together, usually someone else drives the next time so its not an issue

I don't think I need to point anything out
I am in the process of doing an engine swap on one of my classic minis. I done alot of research and decided on the toyota 4efte engine. Problem is i recently done more research and found people take the 4agze and swop the supercharger out for a turbo. I just cant decide which way to go so I was hoping someone whose had experience with these motors might be able to sway me one way or the other. Im aiming for 200whp/150wkw. Pic not my car, its a guy in my mini clubs nissan vg33 turbo mini.
>>14116272
4agze.

Why not both? I'm sure you can fit one in the back somewhere
How is he not more of a laughing stock than he already is?
>>14116056
Because the only people that like him are teenagers who can't vote and lazy pieces of shit who won't bother to vote.
yeah
lets keep making inefficient pieces of shit instead of focusing on things that matter like fuel economy
10/10 op you sure a smart guy
>>14116056
Which part do you disagree with? Everything he said is true.
I have of problems with my Volvo s 850 year 1995.
I want to find out if the engine has any form of failsaves against the bendenings of pistons

>>14115949
Shit nigga take car of your car. Pic related my beast. Odometer broke 5 years ago at 236,000. Made it back and fourth from east coast to west. Excellent cars, but you need to show em the proper amount of respect.
I fucking love volvo that's why I own 3
>>14116225
My little 144, the kid who owned it before me cut the springs because he was a spic and thought it'd be cool. Gonna lift it eventually and do an engine swap
