>>14056118
reliable but rusty, practical but slow
one of the last proper mercedes really mechanically immortal, electronically barren, aesthetically questionable
I know that I wouldn't want to crash into one, or have one crash into me

Brake checking is a result of tailgating.
Tailgaters are the only dicks here

Porsches these days are already pretty close to perfection from the factory. RUF is kinda pointless.
you just answered your own question. most americans know nothing of foreign brands other than the common ones.
I didn't know RUF was a thing until I played Assetto Corsa.
Looking to grab either an S2K or RX-7 FD soon.
What's /o/'s opinion on either?
Which would you rather have?
I'm leaning a lot more towards the FD because of the styling and how it's not being a convertible
s2000 desu
RX-7 will garner more respect if you care about that sort of thing.
S2K is a girls car

Sounds about right.
I'll take things that never happened for 500
Esses will have low riders, moat muscle cars are owned by old farts if they're in good conditon.
Im trying to put my new coil on and it looks like it has less grounds then the one I'm taking out. Any one have a picture? The coil in mine grounds on the body, that rubber part that holds the coolant pipe (Where that caution hot! cap is) and on a screw thats by the little hook you use to lift the engine.
Its a 88 N/A.
>>14045812
The new coil only has two wires that are grounds.
In the middle of reading OverRev. Didn't realize how alpha MR2s really are.

About to buy my first car. Should I start with auto or manual? Literally never drove before.
>>14055232
speaking from experience, it's easier to start with a manual and later switch to an automatic instead of starting with an automatic and later trying to learn manual.
>>14055242
I'd disagree with this. You're most likely to get in an accident when you're first learning to drive and an automatic is a lot easier to control.
>>14055242
Ditto. I learned on an automatic then switched to a manual, the transition wasn't insanely difficult, but it does feel weird having to relearn how to drive. And besides, manuals are more fun, but bridges/hills can scare the shit out of ya when you're learning.
Hi /o/, first time lurker and poster here.
I turned 18 recently, and I can finally get my license (I live in yurop, Italy to be exact), and I really want to get myself a car.
My mother wants to give me her 2007 Yaris, but I know she might need it when I'm far away from home and decided to look for my own car.
A few months ago I saw a cool ass car, and after some research, I found out it's a Volvo 480 Turbo.
Looked up on some used cars websites and I can get one for 1400 yuros, less than my laptop.
Is it a good car?
No idea but I think they're neat.
yes OP theyre future classics and its a volvo so you know it wont break. good opportunity to learn how to take care of a basic turbo engine too
That's fucking sweet why didn't US get them
ITT Underrated Cars
What exactly makes this underrated?

It's not a Benz.

>nice Mercedes dude!
(I actually like how this looks)
Between BMW, Merc, Audi and Porsche
What car is the:
1. Muscle
2. Tuner
3. Exotic
4. Shitbox
You can only assign 1 category to each brand
>merc = muscle
>tuner = audi
>exotic = porsche
>bmw = shitbox
and i actually like bmw...or, old bmw anyway, more out of any of them
1. Porsche (AMG/McLaren != Mercedes)
2. Audi
3. Porsche
4. BMW [modern]
>>14054489
I feel like the thread is going to die because there are no other correct opinions.
Merc is the only one to have a 427 ci + engine in recent years. Their "exotics" aren't that exotic to me. The carrera gt and 918 on the other hand... (I don't count the 911 turbo or ts as exotics despite performing comparably. Just performance does not a exotic make
>Wow, Anon, nice car! How many cylinders is it?
It's a rotary engine, it's hard to explain. It roughly works out to a 2.6 liter engine.

No matter what drivetrain or branding you prefer we all know stage rally is the most pure form of motorsport.
>>14053576
FRONT ENGINE?
What's the difference between stage and non-stage rally?
yup
>go to lube shop to get oil change
>ask for trans fluid service as well
>they say they can't on cars over 200,000 miles
They're just making excuses, right?
>not doing a 5 minute job yourself
>>14053321
They're just sick and tired of getting blamed for peoples trannies failing that were about to pop anyway.
Do it yourself.
Maybe its their policy but ofc its not impossible
Why would you even ask that here? (Thats a rhetorical question)
My wealthy parents want to get me a car, /o/. Their maximum budget is roughly $30,000. Straight from the stealership. I can basically choose whatever I want, as long as it's not a van or minivan, because my father is a sports car enthusiast and hates them. I know that may not make much sense, but it's not up to me.
I'm looking for something:

>Manual transmission
>Not a sedan or a very small vehicle (I'm...

this is /o/ not yahoo answers
>>14053169
F82 BMW 4 Series if slightly used.
2 Series if new.
>>14053169
I'd say the Ford Focus Rs when it comes out but you might consider it small. Besides that it does everything on the list
