Do what makes you happy and do what you need to do to make it happen
But before you go out and get a low paying job to buy an E30 while you're in school, consider doing internships during your summers. There are no entry level jobs; everyone wants experience. Just some advice from a recent grad with no job

Why does /o/ hate the Genesis Coupé?
In times of hardcore downsizing it's probably the cheapest, decent-looking, used n/a-V6 money can buy, starting at 12k dollaridoos for cars with 30k miles here in Germany.
Didn't Kia built the Lotus Elan too?

I think they're okay cars. I really like the Veloster, too.
Leave this thread now, or face the hordes of faggots saying "le penis windows."
What are the most popular cars in your country or state, /o/?
Portugal here, almost every street around Lisbon has either a Citroën C3 and/or a diesel 80s Benzie.
>>14656811
Ayy. I'm vacationing here in Portugal. I see those all over the place.
I think Mercedes are giving these away, there's so fucking many of them around.
A metric fuckton of Nissan V16 (Sentra B13). We got them from Mexico for almost two decades, and it's by far the most common car in the whole country.
A bunch of taxis are this model. Also, they are the cheapest cars to fix, own and register. It's essentially babby's first car, taxi, JDM as fuck mobile, shitbox and commuter. Owners go from 18 years old to 99.

other than being associated with ricers, what's the downside of 90's B-swapped hondas?

Borrowed one from friend, drove it for a week. It was TDI wagon.
Saddest most depressing car ever.

So I was on the Internet, and I found this: http://3dprint.com/118388/3d-printed-v8-solenoid-engine/
And I thought to myself, "This is how we get /o/ to like electric cars."
No.
>>14655732
back to >>>/v/ with your riced gaymen rigs
Instead of solenoids, I want rail guns, so jets of plasma and engine bits fly out the tailpipe.
What's the difference between these?
One is a lifted 2, the other is a lifted 3.

Size, hp, price. CX-3 is based on the Mazda2, while the CX-5 is based on the Mazda3. Can't get the 2.5L in the CX-3.
Is there any reason to get the CX3 when it's less than 2k cheaper?
How much HP can a V6 Mustang take before needing an upgrade? Thinking of supercharging mine.
>inb4 le v8 meme xd
>>14655462
You really should have just got the V8 outright
>>14655464
I couldn't afford it at the time of purchase.
>>14655470
Goddamn you actually are a fucking idiot. I bet you bought it new and it's an auto as well.

Okay.
Dunedin is in New Zealand. Done.

What if he borrowed or rented the car? Would the government still confiscate and sell it

who cares
Tossing up between an e36 and a miats. What get? Pros and cons? About all I can come up with:
E36:
Practical(er)
Power (depending on engine)
Miats:
JDM
Better handling
Helps please.
do you have a DD already?
if not i'd say get the E36
if you do, well i personally don't like the E36 too much so i'd say the MX-5
>>14654561
Wow, talk about being unhelpful!
Not, it would be my DD, but I could always just drive my brothers car if I need practicality, so it's not that big a deal!
The E36 is better in almost every aspect but cost. It will go down to which kind of car you like the most OP, they are very different cars.
