Hey /o/ what's the best car smell and why is it black ice?
Actual new car is best, Black Ice is second.

Cars only assholes drive
The 90's TJ is the only acceptable one.
Butthurt answer: any car faster or more expensive than mine
Actually backed up by empirical evidence: newer BMWs, Civics, Imprezas, Ferraris in general, 350z/G35 and V6 muscle cars, hot hatches in general.

It'd be a lot better if all the cars were RWD.
At least they're comfy.

Why do people spend upwards of $15,000 on a small hatch back they think is kinda "sporty" when you could have one of the fastest production vehicles ever produced that is capable of making million dollar supercars look slow for that kind of money...?
Accept that you are poor and get a motorcycle.
Why do people get a motorcycle when you can get a model rocket that goes 450mph in 2 seconds for $20
poorfags need a car and cannot afford car and bike.
It is the people spending 25-40k on a sporty car that are wrong. They should have a nice sport bike and a cheap hatchback.
>>14251308
you can't ride a model rocket while even a 250cc dirt bike will give a greater sensation of speed than any car short of a supercar
What makes a car fun?
The fun I have when driving it, working on it, looking at it, thinking about it.

I'll be fine. Just need to get some solar panels or find a strong stream for hydro. Then I can safely hide out growing beans and rice. While my car charges. Never have to fight people for Guzzoline.

Assuming the only thing you're going to be needing anytime soon are the tools you grab those and leave the Packard sitting off to the side of the dirt road and make your way to the Olds. She doesn't say anything as she threads the needle to back up until she can get turned around.
If she really didn't want to give you a ride she should've just said so, you could probably be having fun in that VW right now. Why did you even think she'd like you back? Now the whole atmosphere feels...

ITT Post your first ever car and what you think of it looking back
Pic related. Horrible little plastic-y car that was somehow louder on the inside than on the outside.
1991 Honda Prelude SR, bought for $1000 with 320k kms, ridiculously faded paint, straight pipes, 4 different bald tires.
Was a fwd godmachine, and pulled all the bitches
Jk was a good first car, lots of fun, good on gas and fairly reliable. Bought new battery, rebuilt the alternator, bought new tires for it, panel windows. Lasted until i crashed it like 8 months later and ended up getting like $2700. Every vehicle ive owned since then hasnt needed any work so thats the only auto work exp. ive had and looking back was alot of fun.
>>14250117
oh and changed brake pads
Ford Puma 1.4. Quite liked it at the time, chiefly because it at least looked like it wasn't the kind of generic shitbox most 17yo Brits get stuck with, and because of that one video on Youtube where Tiff Neddell demonstrates "fwd drifting in one".
It was pretty slow, though - even realised that at the time - and in hindsight I didn't really push it hard enough to be able to comment on the handling, even if it felt like I was doing back then.
Still have some great memories of it, regardless.
Hi /o/, I am coming from /k/, I am kind of a newfag when it comes to vehicles, anyway

Now my question is
>are there any special rules and regulations for a retired police car?
Pic related
It's going to be kind of hit or miss, a 2007 for 2 grand means it might not be in fantastic condition, but crown vics are pretty simple. Also everybody on the road is going to hate you unless you paint it neon green or some shit and take the pushbar and spotlight off.
No its just like any other car. If your state does inspections the horn and other things might not work and that'll be a problem (matter of cut wires or pulled out by police department) if your state has E85 and you want to run e85, look for a 2008 or newer. I have a 2007 also.

yes you have to register it as a deadly weapon and submit to a background check. prepare to be on every illuminati database, and pack your bags for the FEMA camp.

What are things that instantly disqualify anyone as credible source for automotive information in your eyes?
- calls all 8 cylinder engines V8, even when it is an inline 8 engine
- believes that electric turbo chargers actually do something
- claims to be the biggest fan of a brand but confuses even mainstream known chassis codes of the brand
- doesn't fucking clean their car and rather keep stuffing the interior with air fresheners instead

Well, my gf's mom instantly discredited anything I'll ever say about cars again because she thinks solenoid is pronounced "sill-en-oid"
She was having transmission issues and I was trying to explain a solenoid issue and she kept interrupting me with

Can you guess which one? (Hint, its the one on the right)
My tastes are a little more sophisticated, desu senpai.

I'd rather have the one on the right because it's not a fucking buick
Do you love driving your current car?
Why or why not?
No, because it's an econobox.

Yep. Decent power, decent mileage, comfortable seats, decent stereo, great heater, parts are cheap. Just what you need in a work beater.
Yes, it's treated me amazing and is fun to drive. Despite the hate I get for it, it makes me breddy happy
