Is it time for our hourly butthurt, sour grapes shitbox Civic driver self-validation thread?
>>14743412
Oh also retarded stancefag, forgot a few adjectives.
How in the fuck is this even possible? How does the DMV create a line even on the fucking internet? Why does this state suck so hardcore?
FUCK!
this is why i'm always confused by any kind of socialist rhetoric

Once the beltlines/hoods are 6ft high, how will they make the accident as pleasant as possible?
Will cars magically engulf them, with a huge luxury bed under the hood?
Do we have hood-airbags already? Or was that just a prototype/concept car thing?
And we will have to pay for it too.
>>14742891
>blinds the driver
They should just have a spring under the hood that will release upon impact and "gently" bounce the pedestrian away from danger
Tray drift life yo
Anyone else like to tray drift? I had to switch to metal cooking pans since the plastic ones wore through so fast.

Anyone else love the look of this thing?
>>14741352
I much prefer that style of widebody over tack on fender flares, but that paint is nigger-tier.
>>14741358
No it's great because I'm a young white office worker
Muh irony
>>14741358
this post encapsulates my thoughts on the vehicle pretty well. the widebody kit is done very well, but the color is utter shit, and the chrome wheels complete the midget-pimp look. this looks more like an oversized hot wheels toy than anything else.
American vs Korean.
who is officially the bottom of the barrel in car makers?
China, easily
>>14741059
1. Korean cars are getting better at a steady pace, while American cars are doing okay/getting worse all the time.
2. Korean cars in /o/ are now considered decent or even good (debatable).
ALSO:
>Implying South Korean and American cars are bottom of the barrel
Why not put in 3rd world nations in there as well? They make cars too. American and SOuth Korean cars are bretty gud overall when compared with China or Indian car makers.
Are you butthurt about those two nations from an /int/ thread or something?
most american cars are cheap to maintain and repair. Also cost very little to initially purchase. Reliability ranges. This makes them bad?
>it's 2018
>early models at relatively high miles are dipping down in the low 20k territory
>for $1000 worth of tune and intake you can give it 230whp and 240wtq
>reliability reviews are really favorable, people have been driving them with basically no problems
do you buy it?
No, keep saving my shekels for a Nismo IDX, and die in the process.
No. Front end is just a literal mess of holes and plastic. Pre-riced.
Even with mazda chassis, Fix It Again Tony
Overpriced as hell.
Color scheme screams both boy ricer and boy racer
I'll wait when they're half that price and some decent body kits get developed. MAYBE then.
Nah. I'd be in the market for a Z4M Coupe if I had that money. The Fiata is a nice car but it doesn't do anything for me to wanna spend $20k on it.
I have an i6 automatic tran car which runs totally fine shifts awesome has no problems what-so-ever cold. When it warms up after 20-30 minutes of driving it starts to act up.
When I approach a stop sign after warmed, it dies. I restart the engine which restarts fine but then when I try to take off it chuggs and kills. I have to give it a ton of gas just to get it to take off without dying
When it gets like this, if I throw it into reverse it shutters for 1 second and dies. 8 / 10 times.
My ASE Mechanic thinks its the O2 sensor and he has a replacement...

When it gets like this, its almost impossible to throw it into reverse or drive without it killing itself. It feels like its not getting enough air mixture by the way it shutters and dies. I had to throw it down into Manual 1 with fluttering gas pedal just to get it to limp home the other day.
>>14740775
How about getting a scan tool and checking for errors?
Provided the car has that kind of sensors, it should already have an obd plug.
Changing parts without at least doing a scan first is beyond retarded.
>>14740794
No error codes :(
Check engine light isnt on. It's a '95.
You have 4 tires, 2 tires have Great tread 2 tires have Okay tread. Regardless of drivetrain, do you put the better tires in the front or the back?
Remember, there's only one correct answer.
>>14740681
Better on back always.
Front because they'll wear faster than the back and even out your tire tread.
>>14740681
better tread goes on front for fwd, because steering, acceleration, and braking rely on the front axle
What would you do with this car?
Sell it to some poor bastard who can't afford to maintain it.
Sell it, buy a Miata
>>14739421
I'd rip it's fucking panties off with my teeth and lovingly lap/suck on its clitorous until the tension became too strong and the powerful, deep contractions of her orgasm released waves of fluid into my mouth that I'd greedily drink up.
What was the OP about again?
Sup /o/
May sell my 300CE as my second car. I'm looking for something to replace it with. As much as I hate to do it I'm tossing about ideas in my head.
What does /o/ suggest that fits these criteria:
-Loose budget of $15K
-Powerful
-Fast in a straight line, and around corners
-Absolute blast to drive
-Preferably made in the 80's to early 00's
-///Easy/// to find parts for online or wherever. Does not necessarily have to be ///cheap/// to buy said parts
-Preferably German but all are welcome
-Must seat at least two people
-Good...

C4 Corvette, you can get a mint early 90s one for that budget.
if it was me picking from your list i would cross out mercedes. i love mercedes but hate they dont have manuals in their performance models. i know it this day and age its irrelevant but not 10 years ago. BMW i also like as a brand. ive driven an e46M3 and its a great gentlemans car for a daily driver i suppose but i found it a little lack luster. maybe try the Z3M. i dont know how Audi makes the greatest race car at lemans but i have fuck all interest in any of their consumer products. love the MR2 idea. Z32s look incredible when done well. i will always love miatas. indifferent...
