to the guys on here who bought FWD sports car
Why despite the lack of performance, inherent economy orientated handling and The popular opinion of /o/ did you choose a FWD car? surely with your presumed interest in vehicles you would have held out for a RWD or even AWD?
>>13918297
I bought a 1988 CRX
That's why.
>FWD
>sports car
stop making me laugh op
>>13918297
I wouldn't call it a sports car but I wanted that particular car and it happened to be FWD.
What would you do if a bunch of niggers started rioting for Black Lives Matter by your car and trashed it?
Call my insurance company?

That was shitty. Luckily I had a spare at home.
>>13916814
At least you had the spare haha
I didn't even notice a pressure change I just caught it in the rearview as it popped out didn't even really make a sound luckily all the cars were pretty far behind me I just kept going was nothing I could do at that point. Felt like a dumbass driving home with no glass back there

Is it possible to make an inline 12?
Sure.
>>13915376
Possible but not practical
>>13915376
no. They had enough prblems balancing an inline 8, which is the reason they're no longer around.
From wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-eight_engine
>The smooth running characteristics of the straight-8 made it popular in luxury and racing cars of the past. However, the engine's length demanded the use of a long engine compartment, making the basic design unacceptable in modern vehicles. Also, due to the length of the engine, torsional vibration in both crankshaft and camshaft can adversely affect reliability and performance at high speeds. In particular, a phenomenon referred to as "crankshaft whip," caused by the effects of centrifugal force on the crank throws at high engine rpm, could cause physical contact between the connecting rods and crankcase walls, leading to the engine's destruction. As a result, the design has been displaced almost completely by the shorter V8 engine configuration.

How long did it hold together?
Pic unrelated, just some dude trying to get into a Mercedes only meetup.
new clutch cable wouldnt quite reach the pedal
i put a couple chain links on it to make up the difference. lasted abouf 4 months, and broke two days ago.
by that time, it had stretched enough to fit properly. 30 mins on the side of the road and now its really better than ever

3 is actually damn impressive indeed. I'd probably have half assed it again if it holds that long but sure, it's better to get that shit right if possible.

Roughly how many dollars a month does insurance go up if you get in a fender bender? Say damages are under 1000$.
>>13899046
They'll raise it pretty considerably.
I got a 15 miles an hour over the limit and they raised prices ~$30 a month. No other violations and I'm a 22 year old guy with 4 cars.
>my penis makes me a terrible driver and I'll hit everything on the road because testosterone.
>>13899046
you best fix it yourself then. or just pay the shop out of your pocket.
