Heard the areo 93 xwd can beat a 911 turbo.
Why Germans can't make good cars anymore?
That's assuming Germans ever made good cars
Because they sell service contracts instead of vehicles.

How do I find a shop that will do a good job at a plastiweld?
Hell like 10 years ago I was thinking of getting the '99 front bumper for my FD, but I couldn't find a good solution for it.
There is more than one manufacturer that was making their own custom '99 plateless front bumper, but they all had fitment and sagging issues whereas the real '99 year JDM one fits fine.
So I was thinking maybe I'd get that, and have a body shop shave off and fill in the plate...
The problem is bondo or whatever is going to crack since the urethane...

OP picture is a replica.
You can see the front part isn't rounded as much, sags, and the fit isn't great.
Here is one that is a JDM bumper with was shaved and filled that looks way, way better.
Do it yourself. That seems like a small enough area that you could find a few tutorials online and really put some time into it to make it exactly how you want it.
I learned this lesson early on. I had a spoiler that needed painting, and for an extra $20 they said they put it on for me. So why not?
Big mistake. It was off-center, didn't go with the lip of the trunk, and was just horrible. They drilled holes where it wasn't necessary and the trunk leaked. I could of done a better job in an afternoon than what they slapped on in 10 minutes.

It's a pretty big area.
I have a soldering iron...
Also I'm guessing it's thermalset pastic on the OEM bumper so it's not like I can just melt and bend what's there in place, I'm going to need a lot of filler.
I don't have an angle grinder either.
I'm not sure if I trust myself to do it. Though yeah, I can't trust most autobody shops, either.

> We’ve been expecting Tesla to reveal the facelifted Model S sometime this month, perhaps even this week, and well, this looks like it! And its new nose looks like it was grafted on from the Model X.
They fixed it! Based Musk.
>>14831069
Looks a lot better
I personally think both the old and new look fine but the new one does look a bit more unique to Tesla. I think it's good for Tesla to have its own signature styling that is more easily recognizable on the road.

>We're all familiar with the Breathalyzer, the brand name for a roadside device that measures a suspected drunken driver's blood-alcohol level. It has been in use for decades. Now there's a so-called "textalyzer" device to help the authorities determine whether someone involved in a motor vehicle accident was unlawfully driving while distracted.

Times are tough in the post-Clinton world. Jobs are scarce, especially so for men after “Ramrod” Rodham-Clinton imposed a law requiring every employer to hire 2.75 women for every man hired to account for penis privilege or some shit. So you’re out of a job and in need of cash to pay off local mobsters whom you’ve borrowed from to pay the monthly penis tax. Now the legends speak of a man with wads of cash and errands to be done. A man known as “Frosty”.
Fortunately for you Frosty probably isn’t prison gay just yet. He’ll pay you $500,000 to pick up a...

You’ve got a 300 mile trip ahead, 150 miles to and 150 back. Deep on a misty mountain somewhere is a village where the dankest weed is grown. You’ve got to haul twenty kilos of the good stuff from this village of bud ninjas back to a warehouse. Upon arrival you’ll get your cash, an ounce of the good stuff and possibly a rimjob.
The final stretch of the route itself is perilous. Leading into the mountain village is a twenty mile stretch of straight road, followed with five miles of twisty forest road before you reach the uphill. It’s another five miles uphill and looks...

Now these things are never straightforward. Five minutes after departing you’ll be chased down by a fleet of police vehicles; the Charger, Crown Vic and Falcon XR6T. 3 of each will appear in each section to pursue you.
You are provided with any shitbox worth $7,500USD or less. For the purposes of this scenario its stock horsepower is doubled. In addition you can add 3 mods of choice, either something Bond-style or something more traditional provided its cost does not exceed $3,000USD.

I always understood toughest to mean most durable. Good drivetrain, good frame etc.

Trucks suck for safety. Everyone knows this.
"Small Overlap" crash tests are flagrantly a contrivance to push for even more safety regulations and for cars to get even more swollen and expensive.

Nissan is dying. What would you do as CEO to bring it back?
>>14829301
I would let it die.
They have never made a good car
Both the GTR and 370Z are dated as hell
The GTR came out 10 years ago and still looks like the same. The 370z is practically a face lifted 350z which came out 14 years ago
>>14829346
>The 370z is practically a face lifted 350z which came out 14 years ago
The 370z is a direct upgrade and considered a proper sports car unlike the 350. It's dated but still holds up relatively well
Who is your favorite car company/brand, /o/? It doesn't necessarily have to be the company that's made your favorite ever car. It can be the car company that more than any other makes you pleased they exist.
I've always been a big fan of Mazda. For decades it seems like they've genuinely cared about people enjoying driving their cars, and that means a lot to me.

I think it should be obvious who I like.

That doesn't sound anything like 2 normal people. You're pretty bad at this.
What is this, /o/?
I pass by it on my way to work and think it's cool as hell, but I don't know jack shit about cars (hell, I don't even own one).
It has no name or anything on it.

Pretty sure that's a chevy Vega. Early 70s model. I could be wrong, phone is about to die and screen is hella dim
