Hi /o/,
I was recently called out by a coworker of mine that I drive a "childish" car.
It's not the first time I've heard that comment or something similar from people I know. So I've decided to conform and say fuck it and get something plane, boring and just purely a tool to commute and do my errands with.
so what is the best "boring, mature" car?
Corolla / Camry

What car do you have OP?
I want to buy it (if it isn't too shit)
>>13929766
Come to think of it, when you're past a certain age, it's unbecoming to drive a Civic with a fartcan and a wing unless you're Mexican.
What are your requirements aside from "being boring".

How is manual supposed to be superior again?
>clutch in
>put gear shift in 1st
>clutch out slowly
there
now delete this shitty thread faggot
neither are superior they both serve different purposes for different types of driving
if you really wanna do boring to and back from work daily commutes in a manual, more power to you, i'd rather a comfy auto
if you wanna have fun on the weekends? manual is your only option. there is no "driving experience" to be had in an auto.

Looking into boosting a b18cr, I know it has a higher compression but I can't get any b18c4's where I'm located...

Boost whp goal: like 250-300

what the hell is an engine knock?
https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/cto/5295735626.html
That is when a rod (connects piston to crankshaft) has been bent or something equally fucked has happened and it's "knocking" on the cylinder. The engine will run for a bit but it's fucked.
>>13929485

anything from the lifters. timing chain or rods giving out or bearings giving out
its not a vr4 so its a waste anyways

Anybody on here that has owned both the C5 and C6 Corvette? Pros and cons of both? Love my C5. Drove an auto C6 one time but not long enough to be able to tell the difference and it was a while ago.
Ride wise there is't a difference. Unless you get a Z07 or a ZR1. power wise there is a difference between the gens. You probably didnt stab the C6 real good in the straight.

id rock the fuck out of a modified CX3
I hate the shape that new cars since the early 90's have been taking. All the cars being made now are all round and shit probably for "aerodynamics" and I just find them unappealing. I drive an '88 Lincoln town car with 18,000 miles. And its got those beautiful sharp edges. I also have a '93 Jeep Cherokee with nice sharp edges.

You can make a lot of power for very cheap, but it'll blow the fuck up.
You can also make a lot of power for not quite as cheap, but it won't blow the fuck up.
Discuss your worst automotive purchases.
Pic related- My velosturd. As a DD it serves its purpose with OK gas mileage, but other than that not a huge fan of it.

What does /o/ think of the god-tier Pontiac GTO ?
Throw some brembo brakes on it, an aftermarket suspension, a small turbocharger, some sports tires and a quick engine tune and you got a +700 hp sub 11 sec 1/4 mile beast
