What would happen if you drove a car with the front wheels bigger than the rear wheels?
>>15171249
You would look like a faggot
>>15171249
>>15171249
you would probably start a new retarded trend like stance or bortrucks

Exactly one team supported a Maserati GT3 program
Same with Jaguar
>>15171237
I would post a Bedford Rascal in this thread, but it's just not cut out for the GT3 class.
>>15171237
GT3 is about manufacturer support; if manufacturers don't cough up money towards the teams somehow (free drivers, free parts, engineers, etc) then teams switch to a better-supported car pretty quickly.
Auto GT Morgan related.
>>15171237
I think only Marc VDS had a GT3 Mustang
Best MPG tracking app for iPhone 4 ???
What's wrong with a physical log or just using fuelly?
>iphones
>>15171136
Calculator, trip computer, and gas pump. Fill tank to full, reset trip, drive. fill up again later, use gallons at pump to tell MPG
Am I crazy for wanting this as a possible DD?
I'm 24 years old and car-less at the moment. I walk to 1.5 miles to and from the train station Monday - Friday just to get on the train to get to work.
Im a huge car nut and wanted something kinda cool like a BMW E30 but unfortunately they are all currently rotted/rusted pieces of shit and/or overpriced. Should I just say fuck it and drive this all summer and possibly winter long? (Im in New England).
>>15171031
It's a good car OP
>>15171031
Solid as it gets, OP. Get it, it'll shield you well when the bombs drop.
>>15171031
It's nice, but the Bedford Rascal is mid-engine for fun handling and brilliant as a DD desu.
Hello aut/o/ enthusiasts! I'm in the market for a fun little car, but was more interested in picking up something on the older side, before the year 2000. There's nobody selling a miata near me so what other cars would fit the bill?
>>15171022
Z3, E30 cabrio, E36Vert, R170 SLK,
Not many roadsters were available in the 90's and the Miata is a better than all of those above.
>>15171022
The Bedford Rascal fits the bill perfect!
>Fun!
>Small!
>Before the year 2000!
Find one with a sunroof, and your sorted for life!

You need the heartbeat of America, anon.
Starting residency next year looking at $50k per year.
I want to buy an older porsche. Would this be a mistake considering maintenance? How are they running? What years would I want? Budget wise you can see what I'll be working with for the next several years.
Would I be happier getting a VW or rabbit and waiting until real $$$ and loans are paid off?
im also interested in this
a 964 made to look like a green 930 is my dream car
>>15170990
You're making a mistake. Buy something more practical, like the Bedford Rascal
>>15170990
Do you have a house?
What does /o/ think of these?
They're much cheaper than the Supra/RX-7/GT-R where I live.
I know they're unreliable, but you can get a pristine low mileage one for like 15 grand.
>>15170989
15 grand will get you a decent RX7
Do that instead.
>>15170989
It doesn't have as much boot space as the Bedford Rascal.
>>15170989
15g's? id pay like 8k max for a good one. it will break.

What the fuck is wrong with this board?
You were a retard or were not paying attention.
As a result your car got damaged.
Post stories.
To start off, was about to sell my beater, then commuting I didnt get the width of the car QUITE right and pulled the passenger side on a building corner bending some door panels. Contemplating repair and resell prices, felt like killing myself afterwards anyway.
>>15170782
If it makes you feel any better, your beater was probably worth way less than you thought. So your overall loss is much less than you think.
it's a "people who do stupid shit and are general fuck ups blame it on bad luck" thread
nty.
Shortly after I got my liscence I rear ended a CRV in the rain. I glanced up at the light after changing lanes and saw green, but that was the light just up ahead, and expected the car at the actual red light to get moving, and then I looked down for a bit to change the wiper speed. I looked, realized I was too close, locked the brakes, and slid into the back at ~10 mph. If I hadn't braked too hard my steering would have been effective enough to avoid them, or if I had seen the correct light. Damn I felt like an idiot.

i'm on the verge of unironically killing myself because I know i'll die without ever owning a Hilux, ISIS even uses them. Anyone else like the aesthetic of 90's style utility trucks?
how do you kill yourself ironically?
>>15170463
idk I havent been thinking straight, I got a lot of trucks that i'll never own to think about
How much money would I be looking to spend if I were to turbo a civic and try to get around 300hp?
>tldr : How easy is it to make a fast civic and for how much$ ?
Too much.
Get a different car if you want 300+ hp.
Without spending triple the cost of the car you'll only get like 200 hp if you're lucky.
>>15170315
Yes
There's a guy on YouTube that modded an accord (I think) with turbo. Listed parts and maybe prices. Haven't finished the series.
I have w chance to get a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT with less than 100k Miles for a really good price.
What do you guys think about these?
>>15170246
Is that the exact car OP?
Buy it, cunt.
>>15170298
No - the exact car is blue. I don't have a pic right now - but a family friend has it for sale and he'll give me a solid deal (10kish).
Is it true that cars older than 15 years always cost more than they're worth in repairs?
oh sheeit
>tfw i might buy an '02 lancer
Ignore trip fags
>>15170199
On what time scale? My fiancee bought a 2002 Century for $2k and she's only put $400 dollars into non-maintenance repairs, and really it was her fault for running over a curb. The previous owner bought it in 2001, so it is 15.
Is it reliable? How about the diesels? I heard the turbos get fucked up like crazy.
