What are /o/ thoughts on beetles?
>poor man's 911?
>engine in the wrong place?
Pic related, bought it yesterday. Lovin it.
A mass produced cheap car for oppressed people under hitlers reign.
Many people payed the government monthly instalments for ages but never received a beetle.
It's a bad car with a bad history and there's not much more to it.
It's easy to fix if that's a good thing.

>easy to fix not being good
Come on now, people love to moan how hard it is to service newer crammed engines. This one's accessible as it gets.
>>14497677
>poor man's 911?
no
>engine in the wrong place?
yes

Also, the design was stolen from a Czechoslovakian company called Tatra.
Still, it is an iconic classic so congrats on the purchase.
what would happen if you won the lottery? Would you buy a hypercar? What would do with it? It seems like it would a nightmare streetdriving it when you are paranoid about every pothole? I feel like I would just get a 911 turbo S and call it a day.
I would buy land build a garage and buy a bunch of projects

This. Why would you pay for one car you'll end up finding boring after 5 years when you could instead have a hobby for life?
>>14496371
I would get a toyota camry and one of every literbike and probably a grom for the luls
Why are we better than everyone else?
Because we are the birthplace of American car culture?
Okay, enjoy your potholes and rust.

Just why? Can this small group of people who hate BMWs more than life itself just admit you're too poor to afford one? Just because you can't have something doesn't mean you have to hate it.
>>14494654
Post your new BMW to shut everyone up then. Don't forget the bread.
>BMW fans act calm and collected
AHAHHHAHAHAHAA

What do you guys think of the M2?
Still pigfat disgusting. Same with M1, M3, M5.
Update to E30 master race when pls
Take a page from Mazda who went lighter with the NDs
>>14493804
Mr2s are sweet
Not sure why you posted a shitty bmw
I think its one of those shitty new cars that dumbfucks who just came into money will swarm over.
It's the kind of thing you buy when you don't give a shit about cars, or you haven't driven the older generation of old cars.
this is a good car
It's shit compared to the previous generation
>>14491554
No it's not. It's a boring midsize sedan for boring people.
>>14491564
How so? I may have to buy one, so any information helps.
My gf constantly keeps grinding the flywheel against the starter. She already broke her car and now she wants to break mine. When I tell her not to do that she tells me "I ALREADY SAID SORRY OKAY!"
ITT how to teach women to drive cars and respect them.
>>14488485
fuck off normie
>>14488485
>letting your girlfriend drive your car
>555-come-on-now
Get a W202 like mine. You only have to slightly turn the key once and it starts up automatically, can't grind it
Or just push-to-start
What's the best 4 cylinder car thats manual, is a 4 door, and is relatively quick or atleast handles well?
Need some ideas of what to look at for my first car, 19 year old here.
I was looking at mazda 3's since they seem cheap enough and have lots of aftermarket, but is it considered a "sports car," and would be expensive on insurance?
>first car
>19 year old
buy a civic and shut the fuck up
>>14487322

How can you be this useless needing an exclusive mechanic to change your oil or any other menial task?
I want a 4 door Miata. Is pic related good?
Exact same platform as the NC Miata.
>>14485338
The two is super fun. But lacking power.
The rx8 is super fun. But likes to eat money/fuel/oil.
Get an old protege (has the same engine as miata)
>>14485338
Would've been better with MT. Thanks, Mazda.
Hnnnngg
Dumping some pics..
>>14483145
Pretty old news, bro.
I do like the rear pillar-lights though.
Looks better from the back compared to the S90 IMHO
You have unlimited resources to beat the cannonball run record of 28 hours and 50 minutes, what vehicle and modifications do you choose?
Ultima GTR with a tiny cam LSx single turbo running low boost 400-500 whp. 50% overdrive with a 2.56 rear gear. 125 mph at 2k RPM. Refueling done on the move at 70 mph with a fuel truck.

An airplane ticket.
Have you had your car broken into, or even stolen? What happened afterwards?
Happened twice to me.
Gfs car when I was 16, we were out buying christmas present and some douche stole some beegees vinyls I bought for my dad.
Second time my fiance was borrowing my car when I was 20 and someone broke into the trunk and all the other trunks on the street. Luckily my subwoofer was out of the car at that point.
I also broke into my own car once. Locked my keys in there so I had to pry the window slightly open and get a coat hanger to pull up on the lock. Took me a few hours but I managed to get it open.
>left my car unlocked
>get in next morning
>smells like cigarettes
>outdated $40 GPS missing
>cup-holder change missing
>glove box contents on passenger seat.
I had $10k worth or tools and electrical testing equipment in the trunk, my birth certificate and social security card in the glove box.
negros are even bad at crime and they smoked in my car....could have been worse
>>14481921
Yes. Slim-jimmed my window and rustled around my stuff. Took nothing because there's nothing to take.
Then they did it again 7 more times. Never broke a window though.
Then someone stole it. They took my wheels, hood and battery.
Which state has the best car culture?
>>14480879
mexico
Id vote Texus but that's only based on some videos I've seen.
>>14480896
don't forget based florida
and I would say California, but all the restrictions are insane
>49 state legal
>not legal in California
what cucks
Is this true?
Well yeah of course, red equals hot dude.
I give it an extra 1000RPM when I'm warming up because I'm impatient.
Yes.
>Is this shitty shitposting?
Yes.
