The oem one with an aux adapter that plugs into the back
Thoughts? Found a specimen with 90k mi for less than 10k
What would you do...
>>14610416
There are like 50 panther threads already.
But you probably couldn't see them with your Fedora tipped down so far.

Don't know about 8k, but otherwise seems sweet.
AWD would be nice in Canadia
>>14610323
It will have been:
-Revved the shit out of it from a cold start a lot
-Start-stop city driving all day
-Treated like shit by the multiple people driving it
Personally I wouldn't

But its a new-generation Ford.
It is as bulletproof as a Camry or Accord.
so should i just save up and buy a used car?
I found a few older model cars in my price range that seem decent but every car that I look up gets mixed reviews, whether its mileage or transmission issues.
How can I decide on a good used ccar when 99% of all cars get shitty reviews?
>>14610222
i meant save up and buy a NEW car..
>>14610222
Yes.
>>14610224
No.
>>14610370
so what are you saying?
kay, I have to go to traffic court the 23rd. I chose court because I couldn't afford my ticket.
I got a $280 ticket for going 72 in a 45. I also got a warning for launching from a red light and causing my tires to squeal.
My question is, what do I do? I've never been to court before. My only record is one other speeding ticket almost a year and a half ago. I don't have a defense because I was caught red handed speeding and hooning my car around town by the officer.
I don't have $280 to pay for a ticket. At the most I could pay...

Tell them you had to take a shit. Works everytime.
Go take a DMV approved driver improvement course, either through the DMV or driver education school.
Probably the only thing that'll get the judge to give you some leniency.
Lol. I almost got caught going 132 in a 65 in my mini. But the engine blew out before they could catch me because red lining in 6th gear is great for the engine.
So you're telling me that despite all the efforts put into making cars look like soap, more pedestrians are dying when hit by cars?
>A more recent contributing factor may be the growing use of cell phones while walking, which can be a significant source of distraction for pedestrians.

Why can't we just let natural selection take over?
Op can you even read the graph? The actual deaths themselves stay the same, while the % of auto deaths increase, meaning other forms of auto deaths are decreasing.

What is the highest form of automotive heresy?
Having 3 wheels.
If it's on a bike, you're retarded. if it's on a car you're probably crashing.
Disliking older cars by a brand just because the new ones aren't great.
Looking at you, BMW hating memers.
>>14610007
Disregarding cars for any irrelevant reason, really. E90 BMW and onwards is fucking trash, though.

Is there any reason not to cop? Apart from the body looking like a civic.
What else should I look at, if I'm looking for a new ricerocket around 30k? I drove the golf gti yesterday and it was utter garbage.
>2l boxer
>200hp

is that 0.2 seconds and pigfat worth 5000 bucks? BRZ is your answer my boy
Where are you located m8?
Off the top of my head: Golf R, Focus RS, a45 AMG, M235, 135i, and possibly the Fiesta ST might all be better choices, depending on what you're looking for.
Maybe an older model?
which one do you pick
my nose haha ! :DDD

PLEASE HELP. Does anyone know anything about this???
So heres the situation. Long story short I know a BMW engineer in europe who I was talking with.. and he owns around 7 bmws...
As we talked more he was telling me how he got his e46 m3 with ZERO Km.. as well as half of his cars.. I asked how.. He told me that basically (this is the part I cannot believe !) BMW (in Germany) KEEP the cars they cannot sell, their test cars, and their prototypes in STORAGE.. And that they are not legally allowed to sell them and that they are basically just sit there for god knows...

My uncle works at Sony and has a Playstation 5 at home. I can't show you it though.
Does this apply to other car makers/factories in germany as well? (audi, mercedes etc..)
He was telling me how once he saw an old M1 thats right.. a bmw M1 in storage but that was crushed due to a lot of rust.. he told me cars like e28 m5 and e30 m3 CAN be found in storage.. but is rare.. he saw an e30 m3 evo 1 once in storage with zero KM!!!
Like I said, only certain people have this "Special VIP pass" that are allowed to purchase one bmw car per year from storage and the price is 4 euro per KG of weight...
I was shown pictures of his e46 m3 .....

If you are implying hes a liar.. its not the case..
How do they do this /o/?
Are they legit?
They must be increasing boost levels via the ECU as well, r-right?
They have more remaps available than any other tuner I've ever seen, and they seemingly are capable of increasing power by considerable levels on any car, even non-turbo.
its bullshit, dont take the b8
STAGE 1
STAGE 1 (ONE)
FIRST LEVEL OF POWER ENHANCEMENT
ON A HONDA
HONDA CIVIC
2.2 TURBO DIESEL
THIS IS BULLSHIT RIGHT?
>>14609599
Their stage 3 for this car requires an 'uprated' turbo so it seems that they increase boost too.

I've just bought a Smart Fortwo. I'm not sure how I feel about what I've just done.
>>14609512
Was it at least the current gen? Supposedly they suck slightly less donkey dick.
>>14609519
Yea it was a new one. I'm moving from an 2012 Audi S5, so it's going to be a massive change.
I've just moved 5 mins away from work and park in a packed car park, sick of coming back to lines on the side of my car where people have walked passed. and really don't have the chance to appreicate the S5 anymore, so I thought I'll try this on for size.
The new one has a much better DSG and the ride is actually pretty good.

>buying a gas car for that commute
Dumbass. Should've gotten an electric car or just ride a bike.
Britfag here. What do you guys think of my V6 Rover?
Does it run?
>>14609481
They're okay for the money I suppose. the styling isn't brilliant though, I was considering an MG ZR or ZT but a friend told me the head gaskets like to blow after ~70-80k.
>>14609492
Pulls like a freight train m8
>>14609496
Yeah they do, look for one that's had the standard one replaced with the Land Rover head. The V6 engines are solid though.

The Honda is more advanced though, it's a hybrid supercar unlike the R8 and 911 with conventional engines. NSX customers are paying for a look into the future of the sports car.
