Saw this at the mall. I've never seen a 2015/2016 Boss 302 before and I can't find anything on the internet about it. Is this real or is it some poser with a paint job and fake badges?
well its a mustang owner so the chances of him being a poser tool is quite high
>>14053112
BS since that BOSS 302 scheme looks half assed, it's nothing but a GT
>>14053112
Too bad it doesn't have the shaker hood with the Coyote. That would be sweet.
Not a bad paint scheme if it were a Boss 302.

I have become the new owner of a 1973 RD350.
pic related but not the actual bike, planning on picking it up this weekend.
I am faced with a dilemma, I kind of want to make it cafe and hop it up a bit but the bike has become a 3rd generation family heirloom now and a part of me feels I should keep it stock and possibly hand it down again some day.
How would /o/ handle this predicament?
Leave that bike alone, family vehicles are special. If everybody put their own twist on it I'd say go for it. Stock though? Nah. Go get an old Honda CB and do it to that.
>>14052943
Do not fucking fuck up that bike with some shitty hacksaw cafe racer bullshit. It's nice as it is, and you'll have to do plenty of work to keep it running anyway.
>>14052943
Dont you dare cafe an RD350. Take care of that fucking bike because it really is special. God damn it.
/o/ I'm needing a replacement vehicle that I can use for work, but I also want to enjoy driving it.
So far, I can't find anything RWD that's enticing and Imprezas are too small for my job; I think I'm gonna go for a 2003-2007 Honda Accord EX V6 manual sedan.
My financing budget is under $10,000.
Car has to be Japanese and a 4-door sedan as big as an Accord (i.e. Camry) or bigger.
I live in Georgia.
Any ideas?

I'm trying not to go for a crossover.

literally impossible. If you can ditch the Japanese requirement, get a BMW 5-series.
>>14051923
Too poor to own a BMW.
Only making $30k.
I'm paranoid that someone might be tracking my car, its a 1995 Del Sol with no GPS and the most "high tech" thing is the stereo, I just had the main relays replaced at a shop I don't like having the thought of someone tracking me
>>14051840
ok, and?
>>14051853
Are there tell tale signs of being tracked?
>>14051864
well, if men in black suvs manage to follow you everywhere you go, thats a pretty big indication
ayy br/o/s, I'm just waiting to get my car washed and am going to purchase an air freshener while I wait in the lobby.

>not bubble gum
its like you dont even want to pick up chicks
Why haven't you upgraded you brake pads yet?
>asking a board full of poorfags why they haven't done an upgrade
>>14051464
is clearly 100% serious about brake pads.
Don't mind the picture with fucking iphones in a caliper.
I replace em when I need to op, there's still meat on them
>implying anyone on /o/ actually NEEDS upgraded pads

So I was reading about this thing that propeller airplanes used in WW2 for a big boost in power. Why dont performance cars use something similar?
they do
meth injection is a thing on certain drag ars

Driving an 05' mazda 6 2.3l auto, while leaving work today, i pull out start driving, down a bit of a slope and my car jerks shifting between first and second gear, then after a couple stops it does it again and once more before im on the main road towards home.
Extremely concerned, i take a longer way home to see if it's maybe just because of the bumpy road, get back on smoother road, after stops and shifting between 1 and 2 it does it very smoothly like usual, barely notice it, and i drive around the block a couple more times testing the transition a few more...

Did you check transmission fluid?
Also check if it smells burnt at all.
>>14051532
Already did, level is at full mark, and fluid smells kinda burnt but not particularly strongly.
How does this make you feel?
indiferent because im not american
>>14051276
>2013
Obviously nothing happened
>>14051285
They lowered the dB limit to 90
For some contrast.. the dB limit for the California highway is 95dB
>one of the best FF cars ever created
>only one still in mass production, easy to find for cheap in used marked in the USDM
Literally fucking perfect.
Have you thanked your Mini yet?
It's perfect if you wany to buy it as a paper weight. That's all it is good for since it will always be broken.
>>14051123
I would rather have a scion iA than a mini cooper
>>14051123
>new mini
>good
What is your favorite modern muscle car and why?
Mine is pic related
only option tbqh
Road Runner
>>14051161
Basically agree. CLK63 Black is probably my favorite though, although that's not currently in production so C63 Black would be my next.
There was a SL65 Black Series too, which was pretty sick for burnouts but basically nothing else.
What's /o/'s opinion on the 300zx?
Love it?
Hate it?
Na are cheap as fuck and better then the turbo's anyway.
The main problem wit these things is wrenching on em. The engines bays all cramped
this car provided the facelifted Lamborghini diablo with its headlights
200ZR a best Z after S30
I'm in canada,are there any better beaters than a 1st gen CR-V for the price?

>decent mpg

What are you guys driving this winter?
>>14050192
Not mine on the pic. But a 3rd gen 4runner is my winter beater. The only thing it lacks I'd say is MPGs, I usually get about 16-17 in the city.
>>14050192
Forester or other subaru wagon
>>14050936
mpg sounds shit but it must be nice to not be horribly under powered
hey faggots, just copped a 95 jeep grand cherokee. post your opinions and stories about them
>>14050114
They're only marginally less trash than the XJ.
>>14050130
>xj
>trash
>>14050133
Yes, that's what I said.
Why does everyone seems to forget that this car existed? Without it, we wouldn't the Model S.
Also, ITT: Cars forgotten by time
We only forgot about it because there's a new one coming in 2017.
Reliant tried for a small FR roadster revival before Mazda pulled it off. Not sure exactly why it failed, but I think poor build quality and Reliant's utter lack of prestige were probably both factors. The looks probably didn't help, either.
>>14050140
Really? I wasn't aware.
>>14050141
Indeed.
