1. the 3 series will not look like in your pic, it's just an artists impression
2. hondas have been produced in mexico for a while now and nobody is complaining about honda reliability

I just found out both of my honda's were made in mexico
Feels bad, I thought at least my civic was glorious nippon steel

and nothing of value was lost
Looking to scrap/junk/part out a vehicle (99 subaru legacy) that has been sitting idle for 2 years. Only problem was the keyway getting mangled from a loose pulley, just never got the time to fix it. Not looking to make $$, just get rid of it because I have to move soon, but would I have better chances with craigslist or a local yard/junker?
If craigslist, how should I list, and what price is typical (% of kbb)?
If a yard, how can I find a good one, and what paperwork do I have to do?

>Only problem was the keyway getting mangled
So, the keyhole for the ignition is fucked?
'Loose pulley' my ass, you stole it.
>>15306847
no, crankshaft keyway. Woodruff key sheared off from wobbling crank pulley, probably because the bolts weren't torqued to spec.
One mechanic I took it to a while back said I would potentially need a new crankshaft/engine, but most forums I've seen have suggested fixes with loctite that just take some time, tools, and labor.
>>15306847
completely different, this is on the crank pulley
if you put it on Craigslist as a scrap car all someones going to do is give you $150ish for it, cut out the cat converter, then sell it to a junkyard. put it as a project car for $500 for 2-3 days saying it needs the keyway repaired, if you get no hits just sell it for the $150 scrap
Tell us everything. Cars you have owned, driven, built, raced, stunted, crashed, fuckups, fails and cool shit you have done or seen.
One time I was doing handbrake slides in an empty parking lot in my parents car. The very last one I planned to do I misjudged and slid the back wheel hard into a curb. The rear axle was misaligned and the wheel was completely bent. I told them I hydroplaned and we had it repaired. Needless to say I never did that shit again

Why do they keep putting 8 and 9 speed transmissions into cars?
That sounds really awful to drive, Why would you need more than 6?
8 + overdrive is the best combination for efficiency and also for performance
a best usage of engines power
>>15306605
Fuel economy regulations and a desperate attempt to try anything and everything to meet them.
The gubmint these days dictates more about a car's features than the free market does. Is glorious to live in Soviet Murica.

Checked out some abandoned building, this truck was between the two. What is it?

Some variant of a 1940/50s Autocar
Germans(European mostly) simply just make the best cars in the world. I agree to this statement. I adore the quality in them. They make like no one else does.
But why do they constantly break? Why do they always top the unreliability charts?
>>15306432
planned obsolescence
over-engineering
biodegradable material german laws

This pretty much.

HAHAHAHA
I don't want to make this a long story, but I got a 5 over ticket with a suspended license that I got because of a erroneous FTA on another ticket before hand.
During the hearing I pleaded guilty because the revoked license part was not mentioned and I forgot about it because I long since had my license renewed.
So now I receive a paper in the mail telling me that my license is going to be fucking suspended AGAIN for an entire fucking year because of the ticket?
Holy fucking shit what do I do /o/? I'm JUST about to get this life saving job that...
