I like this color, but it's too girly
Just recently got into it. Building my truck into a expedition rig. Plan on getting a roof rack, brush guard/bumper, etc.
Thoughts and criticism welcome.

I drove it home from NYC to New Orleans the other day. What should I do? The leafs are rusted to fuck.

You mean American pavement princess family barges. I don't even know what the hell is going on with the cow catcher on that one, it looks like it'll do nothing at all.
My girlfriend wants to buy a 2010 Acura TSX that has 90k miles for $11,000. How do I talk her out of it? Her family owns all Acuras and she thinks it's justifiable paying for a rebadged Honda because of a luxury badge.

It looks so boring, No excitement or anything.
Well, fuck.
The only cheaper ones have been riced to death.
Should've bought five years ago when these were $30k
Got mine for a F150 and 15 k

Am I the only 1 who has not interest and makes fun of riced out honda civics. Civics i think are a great car. But I think they look cancerous as this "race car" thing.
hello summer
>>15062822
Literally everybody here laughs at riced out cars.

>people pretending their fwd commuters are sports cars
I heard you guys were a bunch of faggots, but ill give you a chance.
My truck wont start. Fuse box is making clicking noise. One of the relays is clicking. I think its the starter relay.
Pretty sure something is draining my battery even when my truck is off. I believe its called Parasitic power draw.
Will one of these battery kill switches solve this problem?
Or my alternator is not charging my battery.
I dont have a multi-meter to test it with.
>>15062779
Buy a multimeter and learn how to perform a parasitic draw test.
>>15062779
Measure the draw with everything powered off. If it's above a certain spec something is wrong. (google the spec) Pull fuses until the current draw goes away. That's your affected circuit. Then you do further diagnosis.
That sounds really retarded.
Just get a fucking $10 multimeter with 10A DC read and do a proper test, you knob.
I have to lease a car for my job.
I don't give a shit about cars or even like them, and the sticky only provides suggestions for outright purchase rather than lease (the only options for lease are 2015 or 2016 models.) I just want the cheapest ugliest hunk of shit that won't break down while I pool money for 2 years. What should I lease?
shut up and get a Civic
>>15062509
honda fit or mazda 2
not big enough?
mazda 3 or honda civic

Looking at a car to buy.
Ask seller for the mileage.
Says it reads like 325k but the odometer "runs fast".
Bull shit senses tingling.
Is this a real thing odometers can do or just stay away?
>>15062508
It is possible. But doesn't count as an excuse for high milage.
Eh. Somewhat. If tire size has been changed to a bigger/smaller one it can cause it to misread slightly. But that still isn't a huge difference unless it's been done since the car was new
>>15062508
I'd only believe it on a truck with non-standard tires. My Wrangler read about 10 mph fast for 80k miles. Most of my driving was on the highway so at 75 it read 85.. over 80k miles that adds up to a few thousand extra miles on the odo.
Why does everyone care about all these track times and stuff when they'll likely never push their car like that anyway? Seems a little silly. Like my car has an LS2 and I've never pushed it's limits or even come close, I always back off before then because I'd rather not die. What's with everyone thinking they need the absolute best? Just get something with more power than you'll use and something that you think looks good and you enjoy and have fun with it.

Daily reminder that GM literally has NEVER created a production forced induction V8 more powerful than the 5.8L trinity engine inside the GT500.

Not true, GM has created a more powerful engine.

Dat's sum OCD right dare.
Are first gen CTS's good cars? I want a cheap, semiprofessional car that wont rape me with repair bills.
>>15061835
Cadillacs have proven to be luxury and reliable cars. Hence, they are good if you take any model.
>>15061835
CTS is great, honestly I wouldn't get a Cadillac sedan unless it was a CTS or larger. I think the ATS belongs in coupe form, and the XTS is just dry and tasteless to me.
seem okay to me
late model CTS look like a first year drafting student's blindfolded attempt at drawing a bionicle abortion with his feet but first gen look classy
Anyone refuse to buy a newer car because drive by wire is fucking trash?
That's one of the biggest reasons I refuse to drive a newer vehicle, drive by cable is vastly superior.
Discuss.
>>15061673
>drive by cable
>>15062184
I want to fuck Okami-san.
It is better, but there's a lot of things you can do to remedy drive by wire, an ECU tune will improve throttle response at the cost of mpg, which is a fair trade off in a sports car
