Vintage Porsches are #1 for places where you can actually have some fun with the car.
In an urban context, with stop and go traffic and rough roads, Range Rovers and G-classes win.

You really don't want to try to roll around Manhattan in the winter in a vintage Porsche. SUVs are objectively better at comfortably navigating effay cities year-round. If you really can't deal with those trucks, then the Mercedes E and S classes, BKW 7 series and Porsche Panamera all look fantastic cruising or parked in a city.
/fa/ mostly likes old german cars. vintage french cars, etc. sometimes 90's japanese cars as well.
>>11279893

My car gets me from point a to point b. It's got ac, heat, xm radio, and it's relatively sleek looking. I haven't crashed it and I take well enough care of it but it's not /fa/. I don't think working on cars and being a grease junkie is /fa/
Ricers and old German cars tend to make you look trashy
Of you're wearing a full Carol Christian poell fit but step out of a BMW 315i with a fart Canon and window tint and ///m stickers it will make you look like a fuck.
Anything that poorfags haven't fucked with is a good choice, Mercedes commander, Tesla model s, Bentley Continental
You can lease them for only about $500-650 a month and is solidily out of /o/ poorfag affordability
But very reasonable for a middle inckme wage earner in designer clothes

A '14 all black mustang. I bought it on impulse and it's not very sentimental to me at all. I thought buying nice cars would encourage me to care about them more....spoiler, it didn't. Still it's a nice little ride.

Yes, yes, no. I can't be bothered to mod it at all. Unless you count as painting the grill a different black than what it came with a mod.
Toyota Supra MK II from 1984
what a beauty. Why don't they produce cars like this anymore. The 80s were the glorious days of effay cars, everything that's on the street these days looks the same. No sharp characteristics like this one
>>11280496
I count it as a modification just not a performance mod. Performance mods or others like a better stereo or window tint can make the car feel more personalized. May wanna try some to reconnect with it
Kudos for getting the right engine/tranny and color.

I'm thinking about doing some tinting but I don't really know where to start, I'm not the biggest car guy. Any pointers? I think it'd look really cool to have limo tint with an all black car.

I mean I think /o/ should seriously consider the cash4clunkers program for most of the cars in it
The State of California’s “Cash for Clunkers” car buyback program called CAP (Consumer Assistance Program) is operated by the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR). The State of California BAR program is available in all locations across California and the goal is to promote clean air by removing older vehicles that are currently operating in California.
Goal of the program
The goal of the BAR program is to provide a cash incentive to retire older polluting cars. The BAR program payout is a capped at $1,000 ($1,500 low income) and is an incentive based amount not based on the true market value of your car.
>>11280552

Leasing a Bentley continental for $650 a month? Perhaps a 10 year old model.
>>11280529
Look on yelp for a shop with recent, multiple positive reviews. Don't cheap out.
Also check your local laws, limo tint is illegal in a lot of states. They go by a percentage and most tint shops will be able to help you with that.
Super dark tint can make driving at night a pain especially on side windows.
Cleanly tinted windows on a black car that gets washed and detailed regularly looks great.
I like high quality gold wheels on black cars also

This isn't my pic but if you can imagine the grill being darker black and having no chrome it's v similar. Thanks for the tips, I thought about doing gold or chrome rims but decided against it as I didn't want to look ultra flashy. Also yeah I forgot limo tint isn't legal lmao.

How does this even work for the dealer? Over a two year loan you're only paying $22k of a $200k car. There's no way that even covers the depreciation.

It's most likely a 4 year loan, even then I really can't see it covering the depreciation. It would have to be a bone stock model, then sold at a Bentley main dealer to justify the marginally higher price tag you'd have to list it for.

Riced out clone of a somewhat desirable rare option in the 80s
>>11282488
It weights 3200lbs and makes maybe 110hp to the wheels
Minus 20% due to old rings, blow by and maybe a little more drivetrain loss than normal since its old as fuck.
It will give a Volkswagen beetle a run for its money
They also sound like those old Volkswagens too
It has the benefit of not having an engine block cast entirely of magnesium because you know magnesium is a great material to encase explosions in ....because it's not super flamable or anything and like magnesium doesn't flare at all with water casually poured on it when burning...
Yeah the Germans really "knew what they were doing" alright....spoiler they didn't

>>11282515
lancia delta hf integrale evo
>>11282518
To the wheels, there is significant drivetrain loss and the ones that survived are suffering from massive amounts of blow by
Blow by is a serious issue in cars, why do you think I rebuilt my motor after every race season?
Nitrous fires were one reason but it was also to keep up on minimizing blowby
Which is why you have to get the lifetime replacement piston rings for $34.95 motherfucker
>>11281570

>>11280751
Hey, Hyundais are totally decent cars for normal non-car people. I'd take one over a Toyota or Honda these days.
>>11281432
E39 M5s are nice, I've worked on a few. I've always wanted one.
>>11281740
It's not that terrible. The thing about BMWs of that era is that there are usually a few big checks you have to write once (i.e. with E46 M3s it's subframe reinforcement, VANOS, and rod bearings, about 4-5k total), and then the car is good for 100k+ more miles with nothing but oil changes and brake pads.
>>11282507
E30 M3s are great if they're done right, but very few are. I've worked on and driven a few great ones, though. They make more sense as track cars these days, you can excise a lot of the extra weight and the motors are happier with track conditions than street ones. My old shop takes care of one that's totally done up to Group A specs and it's badass.

>>11282826
Can you really be that surprised? The whole stance trend is based around using cars as fashion accessories. Of course people on /fa/ would like them.
>>11282836
My opinion on stance is that if you're slammed static, and/or have camber, stop. If you're on bags and only go low at shows, then that's fine. Otherwise lower the car about 1-2.5" from stock with 18" wheels, no staggering, and you're golden on "stance".

The thing I quickly realized about /o/ is that they were poverty stricken and drug addicted losers who used the "I am a car enthusiast" excuse to justify their lack of hygiene and money.
Like they would go to junkyards to buy a radiator hose that Costs maybe $50 new
And they would act like they beat the system.
And the faux upgrades, can't afford a new $20 air filter so they buy an air intake kit that they can wash from knn arguing it's more powaaaaaa
It's just a different justification on why they don't have rent this month in car form
That and it's super depressing.... The cars are all run down garbage in the Midwest with rust and they skip meals to maintain them

I agree with most of this, but Obama's got nothing to do with it. I've been on /o/ since the board was started in late '04 or so, and it was even worse back then. I was a tripfag and was commonly cited as having the best car on /o/ in those days, and it was just an S14 240SX with 5k of mods into it.
Nowadays we actually have a decent number of people who own cars they bought brand new, reasonably interesting stuff like Ford STs and FR-Ss, and that would have been unheard of back in the early days.
I think the only effect Obama really had on /o/ was Cash for Clunkers, because back in the day there were a lot of posters with interesting and obscure '70s and '80s cars that don't exist anymore. (XR4Tis, Chevettes, etc.)

french cars are literally the ugliest pieces of shit, do everyone a favor and kys
>>11287581
Yep its in manual, I was thinking of buying this knowing it was going to cost a lot to upkeep and did not expect that I could actually make some profit off of it. Thanks anon!
>>11283464
well if you have to ask/beg, odds are you just want validation for your purchase, cause you want someone to tell you that you didnt fuck up. HOWEVER, i dig the white walls. assuming youre an attractive, pulled together guy who doesnt dress like a faggot, then you can pull it off
>>11283064
beautiful car, but these things would literally crack in half
>>11289639
>1. Do tasteful suspension, brake and wheel/tire upgrades for handling.
>2. Don't fuck with the engine unless you get a BMW specialist to do an M3 drivetrain swap ($$$$$) like video related: https://youtu.be/hZzTg1GoOxo
>3. keep the body, interior and paint in good factory condition with regular cleaning and detailing.
>4. PROFIT! Enjoy one of the sweetest handling cars ever created and in a few years you'll most likely make a tidy profit if not at least getting everything you put into it back out of it in resale.
my old e30. i miss it :/

>>11290035

Great car but the mpg is awful and I have a lot of mechanical issues I can't really afford
>>11290042
ah thats a bummer. always love driving my moms when i get the chance. she remarried a rich guy tho so dont think those things are an issue for her
>>11288362
holy shit thats hot

Convince me not to buy an frs
I want to get a fiat uno as my first car desu I think that all the square details make it look good
>>11288341
oh yes
>>11287540
is that an ix?
I've been really into big american muscle sedans from 1990-2000
stuff like the taurus SHO, impala SS and the maurader
not /fa/ but i think they're fucking dank, too bad the interiors are trash and most are autos
>>11290471
>taurus SHO
hope you're joking, that's full irony core.
>>11279883
not even... well kind of... all right what the hell.
>>11279893
desu
>>11281432
>how
my sister had one of these back when "trap", street goth, and seapun first started coming out, and it was cool. we would roll in it and hit up the Getty museums and act all classy and fa in the retro car.
>>11282811
we already established that the trueno is only considered classic for the wrong reasons.
>>11282826
>>11282782
so true, stance was old like 5 years ago. okay maybe less, definitely 4 though.
>>11282853
if you go to shows at all in that car in 2016, you are holding on to an old dream my friend. well made car, but nothing special, no reason to upgrade
>>11290450
Yeah
>>11283479
This. Tesla X is effay
>>11290009
>this
>ever fashionable in any context
>>11290408
If you're over 5'5 they're cramped as fuck
>tfw 6'5 and can't ever enjoy the cheap drivers cars like miatas and FRS cuz too big
>>11283443
You mean you got laughed out when you bragged how much you spent on your Civic. It's ok, there's a Honda general for you now.
Ctrl + F "Alfa"
Nothing. How can you go past the Alfa 159? I bought a second hand 2009 model and it's absolutely beautiful.
>>11290513
Early SHOs are awesome and legit sleepers.
Not /fa/ in any way tho
>>11291025
i agree, but the more i think about it, the more i could see a 90s thrift core fag drivin a SHO
>>11291024
The brera is one of the prettiest cars ever made and we never got them in U.S.
Feels bad man
>>11291031
Conan O'Brien had one for almost his entire late night NBC run and used it in several sketches
https://youtu.be/hhOsZKRbDao
>>11291025
Not by today's standards
>>11291040
It's a fantastic car. I had no idea it never made its way out to the US market. I wonder why Fiat never thought it was viable to sell it to you guys?
>>11291069
We haven't gotten alfas in decades
>>11282513

>>11291074
I genuinely am shocked and had no idea. I just looked into and it seems the dark days are over and you're getting Alfas again. Unfortunately they're not currently manufacturing any models I particularly find aesthetic.
>>11289816
There's only one problem, the car has 317k on it so I would probably have to get an M3 drivetrain swap.
I drive a 98 jeep cherokee like the picture but in olive.
>>11287252
uhh no. as with any car, they look far better dead stock
>>11291267
you're wrong
>>11291158
that's cool, i love those jeeps. 4wd?
>>11291152
m3 drivetrain swap is stupid as hell, and expensive. you won't get much power at all either. terrible idea.
do what i did with my e30, i got an m50 swap. every part you'd need is from a junkyard, then it's a bolt in swap. inline 6 instead of inline 4. more power, more reliable, cheaper, easier to find, etc etc. look on r3vlimited for guides and stuff
>>11290989
>you
I love the wide fenders
>>11288341
those wheels are amazing
>>11282406
Mighty car mods
>>11283477
>everything on the steering wheel
The Italians sure know how to build a driver's car
>>11291090
Sadly they're probably going to flop again, because Americans still think Italian cars are gigantic pieces of shit.
The Brera would have done horribly here too, because Americans have an illogical hatred of hatchbacks. Ford had to make a Fiesta sedan for the NA market and it outsells the hatchback by a pretty substantial margin here, despite being less practical and looking way more like a cheap hackjob POS than the hatch IMO. (Maybe I'm biased with that one because I own a Fiesta ST, though.)
>>11291719
>tfw desperately want to own and enjoy a fiesta ST, apparently one of the best pure drivers cars made in the last decade
>tfw 6'6, 270 lbs mostly torso height and can't even fit it a focus
>mfw reading your post and imagining your happiness
>>11291275
Why not a 350? Or 383 stroker
>>11291719
nah they don't, the 4C and the 500 are selling like hot bread, I genuinely think that the Giulia is going to sell nicely as well.
>>11291021
Kindoflissesme off how cheap k24 swaps are now, I was in over $29k
Nowadays you can do it for $12k and cleaner than I did it too
I had to drill the frame for my motor mounts and cut away my floor pan to rtv my shifter box in, and the swap harnesses back then were $1500 alone hondata was $2000 etc
I remember paying $2200 for the first k20/k25 manifold.
Skunk 2 has one that was made in Taiwan for $195
>>11291948
You know fiats in America aren't Italian right? Has nothing to do with Fiat in Europe either

Why does every car automatically become better when you shove a Corvette motor in it?

>>11291894
Give it a try, I've had a 6'3" friend with a helmet on in my FiST, and mine is short on headroom compared to a non-sunroof model.
>>11291948
That's true about the 500, but I feel like some of its sales are because it's dirt cheap and nothing else on the market really competes with it. I dunno about the 4C, I live right in the middle of a nice part of LA and I've seen more Paganis than 4Cs.
I'd love to see the Giulia do well here, though, I think Alfas are really cool cars. Maybe the disappointment enthusiasts have had with the F80/82 will lead them to look elsewhere, and Alfa will be in the right place at the right time.
>>11291953
I get what you're saying but I think that's going a little far. They're still 90% identical to the Euro models, and the changes really aren't all that different from what any European model goes through for NA sale. Sure, it's built in NA, but to the people buying them they're Italian cars and Fiats.
And what do you mean "nothing to do with Fiat in Europe?" It was developed at Fiat, it's built by a Fiat-owned plant in Poland, it shares a platform with other Fiat models, it has a Fiat badge and is sold at Fiat dealers, etc. You might as well say the Polo has nothing to do with VW because it's built in Spain.
>>11292462
chrysler, mexico, up until the merger it was just a licnesed entity
>>11291958
go small or go home
>>11292466
Only the NA models are built in Mexico, though. Fiat was building EU models in Europe before the Fiat/Chrysler merger, and the US models are essentially license-built versions with minor modifications for the US market.
>>11283475
I actually race track and just wanted to say you're a faggot. You aren't effay on your shitty knockoff, and everyone laughs when you crash. Get a real bike
>>11291924
Harder to do than m50 swap. Probably more expensive too if I did want to make it a bolt in swap too.
