That's the mating ritual to attract a member of the same sex.
I want to buy a brand new car and baby it/daily it for 20+ years until it gives out. It needs to be somewhat fun, reliable, manual, and practical enough to use as an only car.
What cars should I be looking into? Pic related is the only thing I can think of at the moment.

The one on the left is a classic car enthusiast.
The one on the right is a classic car destroying bogan.
Luckily it's just an old family car looking holden and nothing too special.
>>14571946
The one on the left is abusing a car never intended for heavy short-course punishments, without safety equipment, and suspension upgrades(from the looks of it). As it's likepy running without modifications, he's senselessly abusing a vehicle not intended or upgrade to cope with the added stresses, without being competetive in his class. The only thing gained is his joy.
The car on the right, by the looks of it, is explicitly modified for burnout competitions, not only being competetive, but safe,...

The one on the left is a sports car made for driving on twisty roads and having fun, while also being able to be driven for a nice drive on the country side. You are incorrect.
The one on the left has been boganised with shitty paint job and 5 thousand dollar tatseless wheels when all it need was some 15" cragars.
Built for impressing people with southern cross tattoos who spend all their money at the pub and never read books.

Whats the stance on this car? My friend says its a sick stance e46, but I'm not sure how to measure it and don't want to look like a idiot.
Anyone have an estamate on the stance on this car ? thanks
>>14570596
tell your friend hes a basic bitch and that e46 has shit cunt stance
>>14570605
Um, can you even drive a car with that stance?
>>14570596
That is an e36 and it isn't stanced at all. Shit is clean. Perhaps lowered a bit too much but clean.
Tell your friend he doesn't know what an e46 or stance are
What are some cars that are appreciating?
Fucking S2000s are shooting up. I should have gotten one years ago.
They all cost more and have more miles on them now too.
>>14570534
Ferrari 308 GTS. My uncle had one, he sold it for 12k a couple years ago. Hes a fucking idiot I wouldve bought it but didnt tell me. There shooting up to over 100k now. Its insane. I get pissed off when I think about it

Fj Cruisers
Original H1 Hummers
Unmolested clean title S2000's
Unmolested YJ wranglers (And to a lesser extent, early TJ's)

Do people really care?
>driving around during spring/summer listening to music loud with windows down
>drive through Basketball American neighborhood
>turn radio down so they don't laugh at me for listening to white people music
>>14569475
It is kinda annoying. Especially if it some shitty weeb music. Just forces me to turn my jamz up louder to drown it out.
It's not nearly as bad if the other person has their windows up.
>>14569475
No, because your flea market subs aren't loud and Prius owners can't hear them over their engine.
Is Koenigsegg the ultimate garage brand?
Besides classic cars at least.
Not only have I nor anybody I know ever even seen one in real life there's barely any footage of them on the internet either. It's always them revving in garages
>>14569098
I just assume their numbers are more limited than you might imagine. Plus you have to account for all the cars that have been crashed (probably 85%).
If I'm not mistaken, Koenigsegg have barely produced 200 cars in all their history.
>>14569098
Very limited production, combined with huge danger potential.
>>14569098
I'have seen one in the wild.

are mk3 supras any good? think one would make a decent first car?
>>14568386
They're cool. Ive heard their power steering is designed atrociously and - o meme aside - theyre REAL heavy. But who cares its a late 80s turbo and it looks good
>>14568386
It might be good if you found a 1jz model. Dont consider any other and certainly not an automatic. If you read the wiki page, the automatic can weigh in excess of 4000lbs. The manual can be as low as ~2980lbs.
Does a car actually lose power when there are holes in the manifold/exhaust pipes somewhere?
I heard that the pressure is kind of important for some reason
>>14568317
Nice hoerscock
>>14568317
>backpressure
>important
Only if you turbo.
>>14568333
Ah, didn't know that. Thanks.
Instead of going ape shit with retarded safety regs, why not fit lower spec cars with fatter tyres and better brakes as standard?
Why do so many shit cheap cars use rear drum brakes, then have a million airbags and crumple zones? Why not actually attack the problem at the source?
Am I retarded?
>>14568313
No amount of braking power will save a driver who isn't paying attention to the road in the first place.
ie the teenage girls and soccer moms who buy shitty crossovers.
Doesn't stop some faggot jumping the lights and t boning you

Better brakes and tires are expensive as fuck

Anyone know how to use an al319 car code tester? I tested my car and have no idea how to diagnose with this thing. At Autozone they make it look simple.
