For all the 2 wheelers (3 or 4 sometimes) what was your first bike? and which one you recommend for the new folk?
Pic, soon to be first bike.
Please stay in your containment thread

nice, and with a engine?
>Granpa! Is it true cars used gasoline and made noise in your days?
And we drove them ourselves too. Driving was my favorite pass time, just cruising around with no destination in particular. Windows down, radio on, arm hanging on the windowsill......
I miss those days.
Yes and the e38 bmw was the finest gas powered automobile ever produced.
Come see mine. It's 70 years old.
Let me show you some hektik fuckin skids m8, I still got my vl commy
I will probably need to get a new car because my rusty box is going to fail inspection.
I live in Ireland so road tax and insurances are super high, To give an example. My Honda Civic 1.5 98 is 417€ in tax and 850€ in insurance.
So I am looking for something smaller but reliable. Not prone to rust(Honda's are and finding one without rust is like finding a unicorn) and if possible that the car can be improved a little to make it sportier(not a 200bhp) but agile, not a boring Prius.
Has any of you had any experience with the ones in the picture or...

Colt with a MIVEC 4G92 would be very fun.
>>13968509
That was in my mind. However I don't know if there are sporty parts for Colts or a mod culture like in Honda.
>>13968535
There's suspension stuff and the 4G92..well, it doesn't really need much. It already makes 170HP. A lot for a Colt.
In the market for a 2002 and I just found this one nearby.
Should I cop? It runs but obviously has a few problems.

How hard would it be to get a New Edge GT Mustang to go 200MPH?
They come with a 3.55 gear ratio, what if I lowered that. How low could I go to get 200mph and how high of horsepower would I need to get there?
>>13968212
Stop it.
Just stop
>>13968219
I'm not going to stop, I'm going to go fast.
>>13968231
Enjoy death.
On less stupid mustang driver on the road
Are the newer generation Impala SS any good? Aside for the FWD setup, is it a solid car? I am looking to get one as a winter beater and somewhat fun road car. Until today, I was unaware of GM making these with v8s.
>>13968149
The transmission is absolute trash. Beat on the car or beat on the engine a lot and the transmissions will commit sudoku
>>13968174
Are there aftermarket transmissions available for these? Are they a bitch to install?

Have you plasti-dipped/thought about plasti-dipping your car? I think that pic related looks cool
>>13968147
Thought about it on my DD. I did dip the wheels and emblems so I can give you my experience there, but when I did have the extra time to do it in the garage, bills popped up and had to be paid. Such is life in the zone.
looks like shit most of the time
your pic is no exception
I have thought about plastidipping someone else's car
Tell us about whoever is with you on road trips.

About once a month I take a 3 hour drive to property I have in the next state over. Usually to work so I take a guy friend.
It's a full on talk fest the whole way about cars generally. Sometimes we see crazy shit like someone flipped upsidedown on the freeway. Also play driving games like "tire on my side" or "cows on my side"

how do these work
>Y'all suck edition
>houston meet will never happen
This meet will happen damnit.
is the e36 too fat to strip as a track ride? i saw one for 1500 and i want to get it to just strip and turn into a track car, so i'd probably get some new tires, brakes, and coilovers. the guy said it needs new brakes anyway.
thoughts?
Wouldn't think so
Absolute fuckloads of them used for anything around here; trackcars, drifter cars, amateur rallycars, stock car racing
>>13967704
nah people track e36 all the time

top heh

That's actually amazing.
>>13967649
Nissan have a long reputation for cheating though. I'd be more inclined to believe the BMW's time
thoughts on the FJ cruiser?

>>13967492
terrible blind spots, terrible build quality, plasticky as fuck. mall crawler tier, and honestly worse than the Wrongler. an embarrassment to the FJ name
>>13967492
Prado with lipstick and less practicality

kek
Is this a meme or is it really the gas of the gods?
meme
>>13967363
I'll say I usually buy 93 from Shell or BP, though not because of the marketing shiiit.
Stop using meme incorrectly.
And it's just a marketing ploy. The only gas that actually does anything is Chevron/Texaco/Caltex/Petro Canada gas. It has Chevron Techron/Tactrol in it, which really does clean your fuel system.
Thoughts? Going to look at it this weekend, looks really good from the ad.

Not the same car tho
I would get a ppi done on the car for peace of mind. I looked at these years ago and some key points to look for is
Subframe wear
Smg pump
And vanos issue.
12k for a car with a 140k miles seems a bit crazy. But, i dont know the normal rate for e46m3 cars
