I want a Hellcat or at the very least, a Scat Pack Shaker R/T.
How much money do I need to make to go to the dealership and buy one?
Hellcat payment is $989/mo, Scat Pack is $686.

You already shitposted in my other thread, frick off Damien.
Enjoy being a low test beta, shitbox drivers
ttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/news/6316522/Fast-cars-boost-mens-testosterone-levels-research.html
Researchers from the Concordia University in Montreal recruited 39 young men for their study.
Each one got to drive a £75,000 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet for one hour, followed by an hour in a 16-year-old Toyota Camry, a family car.
Tests on saliva samples showed a significant increase in testosterone while drivers were cruising around in the Porsche.
But there was either no effect, or even a slight decline,...

The latter part has everything to do with speed and sound than being a shitbox or not.

I'm sure we had this thread already

yeah but low test betas need to be reminded every day
This is a PSA for prospective Scion buyers:
Scion Pure Price means that dealers set a price for a vehicle and advertise it and do not negotiate from that price. Not all Scion dealers participate in Pure Price. It is very possible to buy a Scion for less at a dealership that doesn't do Pure Price.
Scion Pure Price DOES NOT MEAN that vehicles sell at MSRP and it cannot be changed. This is true ONLY IF the dealership sets their Scion Pure Price as the MSRP of the vehicle, in which case, don't be an idiot. Buy somewhere else where the Pure Price is below...

>no-haggle pricing
Literally for beta C U C K S who can't into negotiation
>>14007437
Obviously, but if you want to buy an FR-S and the convenient dealership is pure process, make sure the price you can't haggle at is actually a fair price. If it isn't a pure process dealership, then haggle away.

>buying new cars
Why the fuck would you ever do this? Do you realize the insane mark-up you're paying just to put the first 30k-50k on a car? New car buyers are fucking idiots. Let somebody else be that idiot.
I can buy a 3 year old 335i with only 30k miles for HALF the original MSRP. You would have to be the biggest retard in Autistralia to pay for an item that depreciates that quickly, but dumbfucks line up to do it every single day.
What do you guys think of the 09 Lancer Ralliart? planning on looking at one with 82k miles on it. How reliable is it?
>>14007342
>>14007342
They're pretty good. If it's out of warranty you can flash the transmission controller with the Evo software so you have all the transmission modes.
>>14007342
I personally like it. I had a new 2013 for awhile (needed more space, bought an escalade), but I'm looking at buying a used one now because I miss it. Better than a mazda3 or most others in that segment.

Why are you so afraid?
>>14007235
Are you talking about me driving slow?
I normally do 100 on my way home but I started to care about gas mileage and I get to enjoy the drive slowly by pondering and listening to music.
i bet you drive an automatic honda
Hey /o/ I have a 92 z32 that I've been fixing up for a few months now and I'd enjoy your recommendations on what I should do with the car. I want to eventually make it a race car, but for now I guess the goal would be a DD/street racing car. I have the know how to work with cars so I'm prepared for anything this throws at me. I guess I can start this off with how I'm going to paint it. What do you think of my ms fill in? suggestions?
Less is more
>>14007266
Like less work? just all one color? Or is that a non-rice way of saying weight reduction?
Also I'm thinking of either swapping the engine or making a twin turbo conversion. (yes I know it sucks that I got the NA) Which should I invest in?
Which
Snek probably sounds cooler but the GT probably has all the worked out Ford memes.
Isn't it more expensive?
Yeah, buy that. Sell it. Buy a snek and an older GT.
Probably the Viper because it's cheaper and manual transmission.

Why even live?
>>14007151
learn how to build and rig your own I guess. I hear you can fit motorcycle throttle bodies from like a gsxr or yamaha or something to them.
>>14007173
I have a 4ac currently. But I have a 4age head or two lying around. It's still cheaper to just get stock wiring and go FI than do side drafts....
>>14007198
It cost me $200 to do my setup get gud
>tfw now that gas prices are going down i'm seeing more panther platform cars and their similar rivals all over

its like it's the early 2000's again

>tfw big V8 sedans arent a thing anymore
Anyone else notice a shit ton of early 2000s SUVs on the road? Mostly in poorer neighborhoods.
How do they afford the gas? It's low right now but what happens when it goes up?
>>14007200
>It's low right now but what happens when it goes up?
Shouldn't go up for awhile and poor people never fill up past 1/4 so they can't tell the difference
Hey guys,
I have an issue. I have an 06 Silverado. Let me lay out what happened and maybe you guys can help me. Thanks in advance.

When it has been sitting for awhile and I move it there isn't any residual oil on the ground
Did they reset the computers oil life monitor when they changed the oil? It has to be done manually, else you'll get that message after the computer determines it needs to be changed.

Thoughts
>>14006929
So its going to be like 10k more than a Miata?
>>14006929
Why is coming in quotation? Is the s2000 ejaculating?
>>14006929
Nice Miata, bro.
Are there any RWD 2 door economy cars besides the VW Bug, AE86, 318ti, and Smart Fortwo?
Miata.
old starlets, corollas
>>14006873
>tfw im at 4300 RPM in fifth on the highway and I still get 24 mpg in my miata.
So enough wacking off to cars you fucking faggots, teach me how to drive. Good habits and shit to follow, shit to avoid? Can you drive well but still be fast? What about mpg, can you maximize that while driving "well"?
>>14006799
Don't drive with high RPM's. Drive for the conditions. Do not tailgate. Use your blinkers. Do not use your horn unless it is to prevent an accident. Be aware of your surroundings.
>>14009334
This
If your RPMs go too high, you have to pull over and take a nap or play some cards while you wait for them to drop. Never drive when your RPMs are high, even if you think you're a better driver when you're redlining.
Always plan ahead and set a designated tachometer.
>>14006799
You can hypermile all you want when there's no traffic or nobody behind you. If you pull that accelerating slow and going under the speed limit shit when it's busy then you deserve to get in an accident, don't waste other people's time.
Accelerating properly and syncing up all the green lights will save gas, pussyfooting it to the next set of lights just wastes time, gas and other people's time.
GRRR I AM ANGRY
SO ANGRY

Yeah we get it you hate slim headlights
Who gives a fuck
don't like new cars? don't buy one
>not using the money you saved from the bargain to convert it to manual

I want an automatic more and more.
Been driving manual for 13 years... I guess I'm just getting old
