You live in an area where it snows almost a third of the year and RWD cars are not an option, yet you want something fast and fun with 300+ hp.
Trucks are for construction workers and lesbians and 4 cyl turbos are for ricers, ill consider it but looking for american v8 or german... What are your options ?
12k budget btw.
Currently looking at;
Monte Carlo SS (07s came in v8s), Cadillacs, grand prix/bonneville gxp. Maybe an awd audi/beamer, but dat maintenace cost on german cars tho
Get a RWD along with snow tires and sand bags.
>>15370621
A little bit more and you can find a newer Taurus SHO
Could always go the crown vic route and pop on snow tires but the idea is a bit dated
The cadillacs you could afford are shit nigger mobiles but might be able to fool people if you find a clean one
>>15370628
I knew there was gonna be at least one..
Idgaf what snow tires you got or what anyone says, its fucking retarded and unrealistic to drive a rwd muscle car in a blizzard
If we manufactured USDM/US legal engines and maybe transmissions in the US and brought Twingos over without engines and whatnot in them, could we label them as kit cars and legally assemble and sell them state side?
>>15370488
Hmmmm
>Twingo body
>K24 and tranny from Civic Si

i hope not
>>15370488
That's a really great idea, hopefully the legalities of it can be worked out.
>He bought a Chrysler 300
>>15370439
They sound nice with a decent exhaust but Chrysler doesn't know what a manual transmission is.
shame these became the drug dealer car of choice
>>15370444
Chrysler makes good manuals they just don't put them in enough cars.
hey /o/.
I have a 88 foxbody and a mopar big block 440 w/ trans. does anyone know where I can find engine mounts to bolt the 440 into my mustang?
>>15370264
I don't think any exist. Go wait in the thread you post on stangnet.com if you want serious answers, /o/ won't give you any.
If you want an easier swap, I'd sell the 440 and get a BBF 460 instead - although the trans will probably be a bit weaker, motor mounts and other swap stuff will be a lot easier.
Sell your heap of an engine and get the v6 ecoboost.
>>15370315
Heap of torque
Enjoy browsing craigslist? I commute 55 miles one way, tell me what commuter car to buy off of craigslist for $6k. I was looking at Fusion Hybrids, but maybe I'm missing something better? I'm just horrible at deciding, honestly. I will defer to /o/'s judgment.
Priority list:
1. Reliable
2. Comfortable
3. Economical
4. Performance or Appearance

I've read the sticky, it's out of date.
An old diesel merc
>>15370199
shut up and buy a civic and move closer.
>>15370199
>sticky out of date
Not really. There's a reason you can buy a Fusion in that price range, but it isn't on the sticky. It's because the Fusion is shit.
There are used Cadillac ELRs for sale, for under 30k, and even 2016 used for a little under 40
Give me one reason why I shouldn't
>Really nice looking irl
>Coupe
>Electric
>Few made, so will appreciate very well
Don't forget the comfy interior
>>15370109
my only gripe is that it looks like a chevy volt coupe with a cts facsia
go for it
looks like a hotwheels
What is a good daily driver that is no older than 2013, preferably under $20k, and not RWD?
>>15369878
Why newer than 2013? I was going to suggest a 2011 Ford Fusion Sport.
Fiesta ST or Focus ST
>>15369885
This.

Anyone else prefer cars without LCD screens of any kind? I never owned a car with one and probably never will.
They're just one more thing that can break
t. a dude with a car that doesn't have lcd screens or power windows, locks, and seats
infotainment systems are for nu-male faggots.
I like having the map on a screen. I like the reverse camera.
How did modern M cars go so bad so quickly?
>>15369579
poor engineering
what's so bad about them?
the steering is a little bit number than the hydraulic power steering on the older models and the new M4 sounds disappointing.
The M4 GTS and M2 is amazing
Because the future needs ayr to be diffused in many different ways. God wills it.
hey /o/, im about to trade in my 09 Camry for a 05 G35 coupe, what are some common problems i should check before buying? And if anyone here owns one please let me know what its like to live with
>numb steering
>shitty drive by wire
you'd be better off with a bmw.
>15369580 the bmw is better in almost every domain, but im not a fan of shelling out 2k every 2 years to drive it. i just wanted something more fun and still reliable.
>>15369595
newfag kek
find a bimmer under warranty or just get a used e46 m3 with service records etc just dont neglect maintenance it will stay reliable.

FUCK OFF SHILL
Honestly fuck airbagged imports, If you are not on the deck 24/7 scrapping you are just a faggot and missing the point in being low...
I mean minitrucks often have bags but atleast they scrape and don't drive around everywhere at a normal ride height and only pretend to be low when parked.
>>15369431
Normal ride height best ride heights
Stance fags are homos who want to be slammed
honestly fuck you for being an basic faggot that gives a damn about cars designed for hard parking at walmart with the other below average IQ trash. static or bagged, its two sides of the same dropout retard coin
>fuck those guys for not inhaling as much cock as I do!
A shitty Ford
>>15369402
A piece of shit

Anyone here run their car on waste vegetable oil or home made biodiesel?
Last year I calculated an average of €500 a month spent on Diesel so its worth looking into cheaper alternatives.
>>15369380
>€500 a month spent on Diese
Do you drive a truck for a living?
>>15369380
10 years ago waste oil was feasible because you could just offer to take stuff for free from restaurants who were paying to have it disposed of, now companies have contracts to buy it from restaurants.
>average of €500 a month spent on Diesel
How the fuck
you could just use heating oil but the police wont like it.
