I drive a 2015 Scion Tc. I wanted a used car but circumstances dictated that I was able to get a new car so fuck it. I love it a lot and I have fun driving it.
For the $75 ticket of course
I have a wagon and I can sleep in it when I park it on the street.

So my 03 taurus ses has been missing in all 6 cylinders. I was wondering if you guys could give some input. I fixed 2 vacuum leaks and tried injector cleaner.
>>14881946
Check compression, fuel pressure, spark and so on.
check your coilpack for cracks. I had the same problem about 2 weeks ago. Turns out the coilpack had gone bad and was grounding to the engine.
>missing in all cylinders
Engine is fucked .
Change your spark plugs to see if it helps
I got the finger while driving today.
Have you guys ever gotten or given the bird while driving?

29 years old and looking for more practicality in my life. I love my S2000 dearly, but I don't know if I really like the convertible aspect of it. Plus no room to really carry shit. (IE mountain bikes, dead bodies, friends etc.).
Does the FiST look like it appeals only to the younger crowd? I understand that it's an economy car with awesome shit thrown into it to make it a blast to drive. Just wondering if I may get the wrong impression from people that I'm a young asshole. What's the FiST crowd like?
Also, having 2 cars is out...

I'd say hold on to the s2000 until you getter better Living arrangements. You'll regret getting rid of it.
>>14881738
FiST crowd doesn't really exist man, I'm in an ST group where we have maybe 10-15 Fiesta's, and probably close to double that in Focus. I see one once ever 2-3 weeks generally and there are only 5-6 in town (I live in a decently large Metro area).
Here are the age demographics from the community poll: http://www.fiestastforum.com/forum/threads/172-Fiesta-ST-Age-Demographics?s=8c66a5e4c36ca5ce27fd76cff5e0cd62

I really like my living arrangements right now. Living in a nice house of a nice town and very, very low rent. Allows me to buy and do pretty much whatever I want. I can afford the FiST no problem. The only issue is street parking only, hence why I can only really have one vehice. I know I will miss the S if I sold it. It's low maintenance and absolutely solid. Best car I've ever owned and I've owned plenty.
Hello, my br/o/thers.
I come to you today for some advice on my first Motorcycle. This won't be my first two-wheeled vehicle; I also enjoy bicycling and riding around town on my moped.
I was originally checking out 300cc motorcycles offered by Yamaha, Kawasaki, Honda, and KTM.
However, A friend of mine owns a number of motorcycles and recommends a Buell XB9SX.
I like it because it's quirky. Push-rod, air cooled, belt drive, lightweight, has low-end torque, etc.
Is this a good first bike for someone with a bit of experience with other...

>>14881723
I wasn't really looking for an off-road motorcycle, but understood. I guess I'll stay away from KTM.
Imagine a car like this only RWD, manual, and with a good amount of horsepower.

>manual electric
lol

i forgot to mention with a combustion engine
In other words you want a car that spins its wheels and eats clutches for breakfast instead of doing something actually useful like accelerating.
Need some advice /o/,
I'm trading my 2008 Lancer online (Canada), and a guy offered me this 2004 Mustang GT.
I like the car, and it's worth slightly more than mine.
But the guy is being a bit sketchy, wants car gone within next 5 days as he is going on vacation, and the car has a temporary sticker. (Meaning it was not safetied)
He has, however, agreed to have my personal mechanic look at it and test drive it. My mechanic will also tell me what it will need to pass our safety inspection and give me his personal recommendation.
Car is american...

I should also mention car has an adjustable tune, coilovers, borla exhaust.
Have your mechanic check it out, if it's not too bad then do it if you like the car?

You didn't think to try and see there the smoke is coming from?
Radiator and belt area
>>14881019
Does it smell like syrup?
O please help
My friend hit and hopped over a cement median doing about 15-20 on a turn a week ago. I didn't think it was that bad when I looked at it.
I'm at the mechanic now and they told me they can't do an alignment. That both control arms and bushings are shot and need to be replaced.
I also thought I just needed my brake fluid replaced (previous mechanic friend), but they're saying here it might be my brake master cylinder or something in the line.
What the fuck do I do?
>>14880949
step one: stop bullshitting us. every single customer that comes in telling me someone else drove their vehicle and thats when it hit something......we all know you're full of shit. just own up to it? why even lie?
step two: do you even save money faggot? maybe you should.
step three: you could just buy your own control arms and bushings, install them, then take it to a shop close to home and have them align it. save with your master, just replace it yourself (its pretty easy.....) bleed the brake...

Wait.
Somebody else was driving your car, and damaged it driving like a retard?
Fix it yourself so you don't seem like a pussy faggot who gets cucked by a mechanic but make your friend pay for all the parts.

Why are most lowrider cars GM products?
It's not as common see a ford lowrider, it's even less common to see eurpopean lowrider cars.
My guees would be nigs in Detroit before the auto industry collapse aspired to own tbe carss they worked on in factories, creating a racial status symbol
Corporate philosophy of style over substance.
>>14880934
Because THE lowrider car is a 64 Chevy Impala?
Also, American landyachts are big, look shiny, have plenty of room for the hydraulics, have no handling to ruin, and are so solidly built you can attach whatever to them without killing fuel economy because there isn't any to speak of anyway.
So what if the chassis gives way when it bounces? Just have Javier weld it up again. Who cares if that's 'unsafe', they had no safety to speak of anyway.
Otherwise, you know what you get when...

Can a rwd car with stupid downforce and amazing suspension take corners harder than AWD cars?
I've only driven meh tier RWD cars so i don't know what it's like being in something top of the line to see just how grippy it can get by comparison to a GTR or a WRX.
Assuming tyres are standard, anyone who's driven really good RWD cars able to share some personal experiences?
pic semi related, i've taken corners at triple the advised speed in one, still felt like it had grip
Shut the fuck up you retarded p-plater
>>14880863
not even Australian you fucking shitposter
how does it feel having a nanny state?
>>14880857
there's way too many factors involved to just give you a "yes" but pretty much.
my s2000 outcorners the shit out of my wrx that I had and I drove an Arial atom a few years back that outcornerd the shit out of the GTR I drove that same day.
I need help deciding if these rims look really good or really crap, I'm on the fence.
I think I may pull it off on a stock looking Citroën BX
>>14880775
They are insanely a e s t h e t i c . Go buy them. Now.
>>14880775
They will look insane cool on a BX
The plus is thy are stock for the gti models, they do look kinda bulky tho and my BX is already gray.
I don't want to turn my BX into a ricer fag shitbox because most allow wheels look shit.
What else is out there for my car?
