I've always loved the look of the early 90s Mercedes and found this 93 in my area for a good price. Does /o/ approve? I'm good with upkeep and maintenance and don't mind spending $3-4,000 to get it back to mint condition. Any information or experiences with the 190 would also be appreciated. Is it a pretty reliable vehicle? Inb4 hurrdurr MBenz reliable

Something about the design is so simple and elegant. I can't find any diesals in my area though

Is the CR-X a good ride?
What are some of the bad points about it?
slow in a straight line, fwd, but overall a fun car, it'll last for 500k
>>13936510
>What are some of the bad points about it?
the space behind the front seats is very small
and the ride is a little bumpy
they are also somewhat collectable
and vary in state between worn out and fully modified
>>13936510
Very likely to get stolen.
Difficult to find an unmolested one.
/o/tists will give you shit if you pay more than 2k for a nice example because they're stuck in early 2000s when CRXs were plentiful.
You're dead if you crash.
I own a shiraz red a3 (not the one on the pic), it came with 16' wheels which i am gonna change
I think about an 18' wheel but i am not sure about the color, what do you think which color would fit under the shiraz red? dark or bright?
>>13936466
normal fucking wheels (or black) anything else is rice/autistic
>>13936479
every wheels is normal fucking wheel.. i am concerned about one thing which is the color and i pointed out it like "dark or bright", and you answered normal (practically meaning bright) or black (dark)... thanks very helpful.. you could say "i dont fucking care" and i would understand
>>13936500
A light silver wheel will look better, since the color of the car is quite dark.
Also he has a movie coming out starring Christian Bale as him.

Is an italian an asshole?
>most rhetorical question ever
>>13936405
Yes he was an asshole
Enough of an asshole to give Ferruccio a reason to create a better company.
And Pagani from lamborghini.
Either Italians are extremely ambitious or massive assholes
>>13936436
Italians despise each other.
Which is better?
>>13936320
Fuel injection, but carburetors are acceptable on single cylinder engines.
There's literally not a single upside to carburetion apart from originality, in which case the vehicle is probably a weekend project anyway.
Why is direct injection better than normal pre-chamber injection?
Are you considered the best/fastest driver for your company?
Pizza delivery driver for Papa John's, here; I'm always complimented by my customers and employer in how fast I'm able to finish a run.
I've only been doing this for a couple months and only drive an old Honda.
fuck no im a terrible driver. im surprised they let me drive them. im lucky when i dont hit someone who walks in front of me like an idiot
>>13936282
one of the fastest, but that only really boiled down to an extra delivery or two per night.
I was spoiled because we actually have a mountain-esque road that twists and turns and goes downhill for three miles. i miss driving in that suburb, it was a fun job before it wasn't enough to pay the bills.
Yeah just be careful you don't end up killing someone or yourself for a fucking pizza .
Run flat tyres .
Expensive, noisy tires sacrificing ride comfort and grip so that you can save five minutes and not put on a spare incase you'd ever have a flat tire

/thread
Mounting a run flat on a rim sucks ass. Your mechanic is gonna think your a faggot which he already think anyways so that will stay the same.

I'm not the only one am I
I grew out of that.
Now I only do it in socks that are knee length or longer. I pretend ankle socks are shitboxes and long ones are sports cars like a miata or something.
>>13936212
I do that when I wear my thigh-highs. It's so satisfying.

Wanna hit the Mt. Cute touge anon?
>Cunts that block the road behind them when they're turning across traffic, even though cars could easily get past them if they moved up to the central line
Why do people do this?
(If you're a yank or european, please mirror this image)
>>13936050
I do it for fun.
>>13936050
And then a lorry tries to turn into your road but can't because some moron is standing on the center line. Now what?

What's /o/'s opinion on Citroens?
>>13935945
weird interior
expensive to fix
I've rebuilt a Citroën 2cv6 Charleston 5 years ago
Fun to drive, cheap, but not really reliable
>implying this shit isn't 10/10
if I only I didn't make $30k/year
10/10 on the shit scale indeed

Ok, gonna take a look at a 3rd gen prelude tomorrow for shits and giggles... What should I be on the lookout for?
165K miles, In vegas at a dealership, I'm gonna say it's going to try to be sold for $3000
>>13935809
pic related only because it's a 3rd gen prelude. I know nothing about the car other than it exists... and I'm doubtful on that.
2-liter 16v 4ws?
>>13935828
I don't think it's 4ws,. it was a super basic ad on autotrader. no pics, no real description, nothing.
