65 more years brah
Can i play?
that was a really bad period for cars
I know most of /o/ is in the 14-25 range that think GT-Rs are good daily drivers, but what are some daily drivers that actual adults might drive?
Plenty of people dd GT-Rs
The newer ones are fairly comfortable and if you can deal with the harshness in the earlier cars they are fine.
Any truck ever, Cavalier, Mini Cooper, any SUV, any van, any crossover
>>14112028
Older cars are harsher because newer ones got soft.

o I REALLY need your help. I'm trying to run the numbers in my head on this car for what I should offer and parts, but I'm getting different numbers.
What do you think I should offer and how much do you think I would end up spending aftermarket based on the details I have from the seller?
https://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/5372676565.html
Details from seller: Car needs manifold and exaust. Car will crank, intercooler for turbo already in car, exaust pipe is there, and the car has the computer (ECU, this guy seems dumb) to tune the new turbo.

I would say that the rule of the thumb for 2nd hand modified cars is to avoid them like plague.
>mfw some buckchoi in a fucking Ford escape tried racing my supercharged coyote 5.0 brostang

i didn't even give it 15% throttle and was teasing him the entire time
>mfw f150s try racing my econo shit box and get btfo
Feel the four piston fury of my inline 4 2.3
.. You realise he was either trying to make you mad, or wanted to hear/see your car take off.

I couldn't do any red light launches. It was damp outside I was just fucked my shit up.
I did drop from 5th to 3rd WOT and left him in the dust though. Took him a while to catch up
Why don't you own a big gas guzzling SUV?
>>14110127
Because I own VW GTI. Any other dumb questions?
Because I own a big gas guzzling sedan

Why would you buy instead of leasing?
>>14109624
Me? To avoid all those "hidden" costs. Mileage penalty, no-longer like new turn-in penalty, etc
>>14109624
Also that's misleading. There is also the $1500-$2500 up front before you lease fee. Probably higher on expensive cars.
Because when you buy the car, the car is yours.
hey guys, im stuck for the holidays over here with no friends. whats a good spot besides glendora?
>>14109549
Pull up Google maps, you have so many choices in a hundred mile radius its ridiculous.
>>14109549
Drive west until you hit the ocean and dont stop until you hit Hawaii
>>14109556
not sure which one of these are good, and which ones are just a traffic trap
Is it wrong to have the entirety of your automotive knowledge come from Top Gear, Initial D, and /o/?
wrong? no.
pleb tier? yes.
>>14107029
Top Gear : Source of fun and great reviews on the cars which 90% of people can't afford.
Initial D : I don't watch anime and shit but I think there's some serious car things which I may not understand.
/o/ : A great source of news, infos and other useful stuff from real car mechanics, car enthusiasts and all. Just don't mind these Corvette-GTR shit storms, Alphonse and other idiots.
>>14107029
Where do you think you are?
The entirety of /o/ is made up of people bench racing cars they will never afford
- they're more efficient
- lighter
- much smaller of course
- cheaper to build
- way more lively
- sound incredibly better than inline 4s

I'm sick of those decades of inline 4 engines.
they're fucking lazy, too nowadays.
>meh, don't spool me up to 5000, I don't like that
>meh, there u have your full torque at 1300, now let me be u meanie
>stop revving me wahwahhh
>Having to rev to 8000 to merge
I'll stick to my turbo 4 bangers mate
why are most 3 cyl more smooth than the 4 banger?
a bmw k75 comes to mind
>>14105240
>>14105257
they're innately unbalanced and need heavy balancing components to make them not shit. any smoothness you get is because of heavy and complex additions added to the engine.
Can we have a cancerous SPOT thread?
Like anything you've seen in real life that has made you stop and say what the fuck, leme get a picture of this.
To start, this was at my college and I want the owner to be publicly executed
>>14097440
Is that BCC?
>>14097440
At my college a kid drives an actual GT-R. It is his daily driver.
In New York. Where it does nothing but snow and rain. Where the average speed limit is 35 mph. Where the streets need to be repaved every year because there is nothing but pot holes and cracks in the pavement.
>>14097465
i dont understand
that sounds perfect for gtr
Hello.
I will be purchasing my first car within six months. I would like something is easy on gas, four doors, slightly distinct, but less than $5000 USD. Have any ideas?

>Holden prepared to replace the Holden commodore with the Camaro in v8 supercar racing
It is like the opposite of someone putting chevy badges on their commodore.
is this worth trading for an 84 ford ranger shitbox? is it a nice car? he sounds pretty desperate. how much would it cost to fix up and how much could i get for it if i end up selling?
http://comoxvalley.craigslist.ca/cto/5373355002.html
meh it's not even an m20, and you could repair it all yourself (if you're technically skilled).
but seeing as it's impounded I would nope even harder
honestly try to get it for less and drop another engine in it
>>14114198
yeah i dont mind repairing it and it comes with a parts car
ill see if the impound fees are going up i guess
Hello /o/,
I need a first car to replace my Vespa. Due to medical problems that I'd rather not get into, I need a fun car that I can get out at a slightly elevated seating position.
I was looking at the Ford Fiesta ST, thr Volkswagen Golf, and the Subaru XV Crosstrek.
I want something fun, comfy, and spacious. I know you guys don't like crossovers like the XV, but I have a legitimate reason to have one rather than soccer mom placebos.
Any other suggestions? Budget is $30k.
fiero
You have already chosen to not get a Crosstek.
There is potential in you.
