So.. how much of a headache would I be in for if I bought one of these mid-80's Jaguar XJS's with the V12? There are some nice looking cars in my area in the $5k-$7k price range, are these things impossible to keep running or something?

Just highlighted how redundant your thread is
>>15174464
The first one has the worst upholstery I've ever seen. They don't appear to be seat covers either.
The second one is a one picture ad not even worth looking at.
The last one will probably be the most reliable despite the fact its engine swapped, and its very clean looking to boot.
>>15174556
Well I wasn't planning on buying one of those specifically, just tossing them out as an example of what's on my local craigslist currently, If I was to get one I'd keep an eye on craigslist for a while to see if a really nice one popped up. Reading a little about the issues that 5.3L V12 engine has is turning me off of them pretty quickly though.

Competition will force each show to become better and more exotic as they try to top each other for ratings.

How much horsepower does the fading paintjob add?

So what work did you do on your car over the three-day weekend?
>>15172680
I just bought it. I don't think I'm going to modify it soon.
Bought an 04 Accord for $500 everything works.
"mended" and idle issue on my NA Miata, it still idles poorly but I guess it's better than how it was before. a new idle air control valve will fix it but I'm not sure if it's worth shelling out $300.
Got rid of my power drums and went to manual discs, with all new stainless lines
Because nothing seems to quite piss this board off like lifted trucks
lifted trucks are for cucks, no one is mad at ur faggotry, stay delusional
>>15171299
Not the truck being lifted, but when people put thin ass tires on fuckhuge rims.
>>15171313
>Posting a Rascal before I could
Well played, m8
Sup faggots.
Buying an '00 trans am Friday (t top master race reporting in) so;
>>itt general ls1 discussion
Its shit tier white in color but ill be painting it red when i save money by the time i put it away for the winter.
Unfortunately not a ws6 car but oh well.
>>15171135
Why paint it red when you can buy a Bedford Rascal in Super Red already?
>>15171135
Just repaint it a different color. How many miles and how much are you paying?
>Buying an '00 trans am Friday
sorry OP
What is the fucking purpose of these things?
Nobody actually bothers using them, right?
>>15163242
the first mod i do is remove it to be honest
i open it so heat gets out quicker when i leave my car in the sun
>>15163242
Congratulations
You're retarded
Hey /o/, hows your car running?
>>15170792
Absolutely brilliant.
British engineering at it's finest.
>>15170792
It left a huge oil slick at the start line
This... This is a nice car! Gauges, shifter, wheel... Is this all for show or is there something more I should know about?
Can someone explain this lifted truck faggotry?
Doesn't raise your center of gravity? Isn't it a pain in the ass to get into? What does it really accomplish if only the frame and body are higher, but all the suspension and struts aren't? Isn't the idea of more ground clearance, not the same amount?
No more faggotry than any other vehicle post factory modifications
>>15163220
It just makes the small dicked owner feel a little bit better about being a dicklet
>>15163241
I'd say its worse than other mods
Cant turn
Cant tow
Cant offroad
Get shit mileage
everyone knows you have a small dick
Wears out suspension and other parts quicker
Costs a shit ton too
Whats the fucking pro to this?
Every time some one posts this /o/tists get triggered
>>15175887
Fuck off summerfag you have posted this in every single fucking thread
>>15175887
Whoa man what is that sweet ass ride
For anyone with an AUX connection but no bluetooth, this is a good purchase.
>>15173835
>wanting to use bluetooth
nice thread
>>15173916
What's wrong with bluetooth? No messy cables and anyone in the car can connect their audio.
After saving up for 4 long years, I have $80,000 set aside to spend on a car. Can any of you give me any general guidelines for buying a car without financing?
I read that it's a good idea to wait until after the price is settled to mention the method of payment, because car salesmen make commission off of financing. Is this true?
Do any of you work at dealerships or are really good at buying cars? How can I get the best deal? I assumed dealerships would be willing to give me a discount if I pay in cash, but I'm reading that the exact opposite may be true. Which is it?
I am going to be shopping around at various dealerships (buying used). Help!

Anyone else?
>>15170296
As someone who has been here for years, I've noticed recently, like the last year or so, the post quality has dropped massively. Everyone seems so engrossed with benchracing and muh numbers that they've forgotten what made /o/. And I'm not saying there was never shitposting, but the newfags and benchracers have ruined this board.
