I'm so glad I had A-10's and F-14's on my walls as a kid or I might have grown up to be tasteless mustang driving baby back bitch like this hoe.

Is this car a ricer? Let's not count the stickers as I will obviously remove those asap. Some potential ricer things:

>aftermarket tail lights
>tow hook
>carbon fiber wrapped vinyl hood

Is this a post?
>>14773549
Yeah, the tow hook and fake carbon fiber are pretty ricey, but they can at least be removed if you're not interested in them.

>never beat on
Kek. don't believe that for a second. \
Civic Si's are generally considered to be "factory rice" by /o/, but as long as you like the car, you shouldn't care about what other people think. That being said, I actually own one of these 8th gen Si's (pic related) and mine's been fairly good to me. I think his price is a little low if his car is in "great condition" as he says.
As far as learning a manual on...

Flux capacitors are hella expensive tho

How do we mod a car to do that?
why are normies attracted to AWD cars?
i've asked normies this and they respond with
>AWD is good in snow
-doesnt snow here at all
>AWD gives you better cornering grip
-they dont understand how that shit works.
>>14773414
It bugs me too that normies want AWD for the couple of snow months a year, and yet don't even change to winter tires.
>>14773414
I don't need to go fast and have only used AWD twice in deep snow. But it helps in the snow and I would rather have the option then not and have to call a row truck
Why not have it if you have the option of having it?
>inb4 should have bought an EVO
The speed limit is 65. You don't need to go 130 when you are an adult

muh equality

Waiting on a woman to total my car for me so I can justify getting a new one.
Allowing them the same rights and privileges as men isn't wrong.
Why they can be so bad at shit though, I do not know. Just the other day one nearly crashed into me because she needed to go from the right lane to the left NOW and she expected me to slam on my brakes to let her in. Her car looked like it recently rear ended someone pretty bad as well.
any last minute advice before buying? im gona take it for a test drive tomorrow and then buy it if it all seems good. dont know much about cars but i know the basics.
anyone familiar with this model? never owned a ford before, ive got a mazda 3 myself, this is for my ma
called up the guy and he said its never been in an accident and its basically brand new. gona check over everything tomorrow and test everything to make sure it works. guys think its a good buy? i do myself but i dont know that much about cars, its AUD btw
what do you guys think? any experience with fords and this model in particular? gona pay cash and hoping that will sweeten the deal also
>>14773306
newish car with low kilometers, try to talk down the price a bit, go over the entire body and look for scratches or bumps. Check every fluid, ask how often replaced and with what. Check mechanic records to see exactly what has been done and how often.
Has anyone else ever thought of building an anti-sleeper?, the complete opposite of a sleeper
Everyone builds a shitty car that will beat everything, but imagine you see a car in the street that you think is the coolest and fastest car ever but then it runs like shit
That is my dream

Find something with a decent tranny and look for an adapter plate so you dont have to deal with driveshaft and differential shit
Maybe FC rx7 if you can find a cheap T-II tranny?

At least you guys have a proper race track there we are still stuck with crap ass mission raceway on the mainland.
Why does /o/ hate the frs/brz twins and love miatas when they're both pretty slow
>>14772461
Because generally twins owners are butthurt and can't stop defending their meme car, meanwhile Miata owners have accepted their hairdresser fag destiny and moved on.
Can't get a 20-year-old toyobaru for $1500.
I like them both but /o/ is autistic for cars theyre never going to own
Hey y'all can someone point me in the direction of learning how take care of my car?
And also like modifying it make it look good and stuff?

Please bump
>take care
Read the owners manual and see what items are due. Hand wash your car and learn how to care for the paint.
>make it look good
May be a tint if you live in a hot state otherwise you might get a million replies ranging from good mods to pure rice shit.

Considering a 15k miles used IS350 F Sport for ~$36k. Any other better car I could be choosing for this price?
>sedan
>NA engine, no force induction, at least 300 hp
>no AWD, willing to consider FWD
>luxury and prestige
>high reliability
>high resale value
a base model honda
36 miatas
>>14772194
Do you need a sedan? If not I would consider a used Porsche, 370z, or BMW. Sounds like this car meets all your criteria, but you could get a 2014-15 Camry for waaayy cheaper and still get 270hp and reliability.
