It's a nice way to say hello.

I experienced this the other day. Someone at a red light started revving and i looked over at them and they just waved at me.
The light turned green and they didn't try to race me we both just started slowly accelerating,
Are convertible versions of coupes always terrible
will i ever not feel bad for owning one
Short answer: Yes
Long answer: If it was built to be a convertible (roadsters) it's fine, coupes with the roof hacked off will always be floppy and pigfat

>>14019512
>Drags

I seem to be leaking/burning oil on my 92 pony. This picture is from the back of the front bumper. What the hell even passes oil through there?
I post here because as I was driving home just now I smelled something burning. I was aware of this leak and thought it to be power steering which I haven't changed in a while. But the burning smell is new, and now I leak a bit more.
I just did my oil change 2 weeks ago.
And this which its dripping is black. I'll post a pic in second post.
Any ideas?
I'm fairly new to this...

Give us more pics.
if its black its probably oil. does it smell like oil?
try and find where its coming from
Just because that's where the oil ends up doesn't mean that's where it's coming from. Just follow the trail and try to find where it's coming from.. it could be all the way at the top.
My guess is a main seal, but impossible to know from that picture.

So you guys wanna hear some bullshit. My friend just got a 1992 Lexus sc400 as a surprise for Christmas(he's been needing a car). I picked it out from a private seller and he and his mom went on a test drive(it was driven for 30 minutes and was driven hard) and briefly inspected the car(engine, tires, checked for rust, fluids, obvious leaks). Everything seemed great. It's in decent condition and the engine seemed strong still. Mind you it has 155,000 miles, I know these things are built very well.
So anyway, his mom buys it for him knowing that the only thing wrong...

Heat not turning on is usually a thermostat, 70 dollar part at the most. If the car's not overheating, the water pump is fine. A new radiator could cost you a couple hundred, but you should have dude install it himself, other than burping the coolant it's one of the easiest major repairs you can do on a car. Honestly with the heat failing, I would suspect your leak comes from somewhere in the thermostat/water pump area. Maybe a bad gasket. I don't know much about the 4l 1uz motor though so I'm going to quit speculating.
Either way, that mechanic is...

Wouldn't leaking at the heater be a cause of the heater not working? or the heater being clogged up?
But yeah way too much for a repair
>>14018988
I wish my friend would realize this because I feel like they think I'm the bad guy for picking this car. I know that swapping the radiator is easy and there's no way I'd let him go to a shop to get that swapped. They'd charge too much.
The previous owner said he replaced the thermostat because he thought that might be the issue. The AC still blows fine and cools. It's just the heat.
My car was just wrecked by a learning driver that drove off without even checking if I was OK.
She rammed my lmright side and made me hit the left motorway wall (left hand drive where I live).
She destroyed my car and I'm not getting a dime I'm exchange.
Please share similar stories and share the pain
>>14018788
>destroyed my car
nigga you might need a new fender and/or a new stub axle and tie rod.
Your car is not destroyed.
install a dash cam next time
also your car isn't destroyed.
did you even try to drive it? looks fine desu
well at least it was just a Megane.
also, fuck you for FB crossposting.
So I'm hopefully going yo be finishing up with my miata soon and selling it by spring.
My subaru is stored in my garage and I miss the turbo alot but I don't want to build the block for more power as she's already pretty maxed out at 320.
So I'll have around 4k to buy another fun car once the miata is gone and I was looking for another fast car. While I know 4k isn't alot for a fast car I'm not afraid of age or work. Also the 4k doesn't include mods, I'll be modifying too so keep that in mind.
My idea was a mk3 supra...

C4 Corvette or LS400. For some reason, LS400s seem to be significantly cheaper than Supras. Buy one, strip the shit out of it, and W58 swap it.

What would your down payment on a $20,000 car be if your credit wasn't that great? I'm thinking $4,000 would be okay since that's 20%
It depends on what percentage you're willing to settle with, good cr you can except 0-2, bad credit can be 3-15
>>14018518
Give us some context so we can see if you are a dumbass or not. I can't imagine any used car costing that much and buying a brand new car is for richfags, which you do not seem to be.
>>14018617
Nothing really in specific, just looking for a newer used car that I know I'll be able to rely on instead of what happened last time I bought a car...02 civic EX and the tranny went out 8 months after I bought it. Not dealing with that again.
OK guys, got an electrical issue on my F250 (inb4 hurr hurr it's a ferd). I get intermittent charging, then nothing. Lately it's been nothing and I'm driving on battery. I'm torn as to whether or not it's the alternator, or something in between. Any ideas?
>>14018479
Does the alternator have an external regulator? They're really easy to change, usually wear out before the rest of the alternator does, and pretty cheap. If your battery light is going on and off, it's a fair bet.
>>14018515
Built in regulator. What I can't figure out us why I get 14.5V for 3 minutes after start, the in back on just battery. Also belt is not slipping.
>>14018479
>Lately it's been nothing and I'm driving on battery
That makes no sense. You can't just 'drive on battery' unless you charge it up with a charger and don't go very far or don't shut off the car until you get home.
Have you checked battery voltage while the car is on?
