Seriously what the fuck? Why hasn't this shit gone the way of the dodo, how badly do you have to cheap out that you don't have chain for fucks sake.
Welcome to America.
Chains are heavy so they affect performance
This is a good read

Should I get the fiesta st?
>>15018796
No they are junk.
>>15018796
Yeah, sure.
>>15018777
HHG3!
Why is it that these cars are almost always driven by fags/lesbians/trannies?
>>15017605
[citation needed]
Because you read the stereotyping on /o/ but have no real-world experience to check it against.
URABUS
can we have a good ol fashioned wat thread please
No.
Thoughts on the tC?
>>15020593
reliable, fun and decently quick. Avoid 2005-2010 models as the 2.4L engine was shit. 2011+ got the 2.5L that's MUCH better.
Screams tryhard boyracer and will get beaten by minivans
>Nissan Rogue
Like a Fisher-Price kids car designer asked to use his drawing to make a new Nissan model. Fucking hideous to look at. Gets me every time.
>>15017482
It's hideous, but at least it doesn't look like every other crossover.
>>15017482
That's a juke, faggot

Do normies in your area leave you alone when you're washing your car?
Every time I wash mine, I'll get at least 5 people with the typical:
>I can't see my face in it yet
>I'll bring mine round later?
>you missed a bit
>you'll wash that car away
>do you run a taxi service?
Jesus Christ normies I just want to be left alone.
>>14998031
Where the fuck do you live? That's not normal.
>>14998031
Do you live in an episode of The Waltons?
>>14998031
People hate it and leave you alone when you accidentally spray then with the hose.
Just saying, OP.
>1980's car with trailing arm rear suspension, notorious for stock negative camber

>nope.bmp
Traffic cops are worse than niggers.
>>15016703
>living in a cuckland where "camber modifications" will get you pulled over
>>15016703
>Traffic cops
are you aware that even coppers hate traffic cops?
They call them 'jury fuckers' because when important matters goto court the (good people in) jury can only remember their most common interaction with police, where they got pinged for some minor traffic offence.
Traffic cops have left front line policing, going to jobs and calls for service becasue they don't like the risk and they don't like the paperwork, they don't like investigating.
>>15016703
what type of car?
Golf shoes for me
Ski boots
flip flops
>>15015954
Work boots.
Because I'm a man and I don't play golf
Unless you are driving recklessly, or driving professionally, there is no reason to own a car with a manual transmission in 2016.
Defend your precious manual transmission without these tropes:
>It's cheaper
Not usually anymore; supply and demand has made manuals harder to find, and often they are the same price (North America)
>It's faster
It's not really faster
>I like the feeling
That's an opinion and not based on facts
For cheap-o shitboxes (which is pretty much what most of /o/ can afford) manuals are more reliable and make you believe your 120 hp shitbox is "fun".
For any decent car, a modern automatic or DCT is better.

The fact is that I like it, nothing more nothing less.
WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW
Which tires does /o/ run and what do they think of them?
>BF Goodrich G-Force sport comp 2
excellent grip on wet or dry pavement, rides smooth, very quiet however tramlines slightly and follows grooves in the road from time to time.
would recommend for intermediate hard driving
>BF Goodrich radial T/A
No grip and they're absolute shit in the rain, but damn do they look good.
Whatever is the cheapest at walmart
Viva 2 or w/e that is like $70 a tire
Toyo Proxes T1R for summer. Good dry grip, ok wet grip, very nice price. Quite loud and high rolling resistance
Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7 for winter. Excellent on snow and ice, and terrible on everything else
