Only filthy plebeians hate driving in the snow
>ohhhh it's dangerous
>ohhhh it's so easy to crash
IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE IN THE SNOW, YOU ARE A BAD DRIVER, OR YOU WEREN'T TAUGHT PROPERLY.
ok
Ok
Or maybe it just doesn't snow

>his engine still doesn't have pushrods
Pushrods are superior to DOHC. The Automotive press is saying pushrods. Heck, even the Europeans are lauding the supercharged LS9 and LS2.
You cannot argue with that, expecially since the only alternatives are the V8 DOHC mills from Ferrari and Lamborghini that, while generate near-pushrod horsepower, are painfully lacking in torque. Torque, in fact, that rivals V6 family car mills. Racing history and commercial viability is screaming for the pushrod...

with pushrods it's mandatory to double clutch and most idiots can't.

pic related. it's steel blue on black, sport package, rear wheel drive, manual e46 touring. I think like a few hundred of these were ever made and it's the only one on sale in the country right now. I could replace all the damaged components for a grand or so, and because it's the entire right side there would only need to be paint blending into the rear quarter and the hood. A full cooling system refresh would solve...

They have been trying to unload this car for 6 months and haven't been able to. Actually went in and looked at it in person, the guy selling it is pretty much willing to take ANYTHING to keep from having to unload it at auction, made me a serious offer at 5 grand....
Researched this car for about a month, just test drove 2 versions of it, DSG and 6S.
I'm in love.
>Why does /o/ hate it

>VAG
because the focus ST is more fun and a bit cheaper. the GTI is just too soft and numb now by comparison, but some people like that
>>14208764
If it comes with a warranty it's fine. Those cars are just known to be pretty unreliable.
Also a lot of hate comes from the long gearing.
Besides that it's a good car for fun daily driving.
Ford Fiesta Appreciation Threat.
Leave your comments about the car.
Do you own one, what version and distance run?
How has been your experience?
Plan on buying one?
Why you chose fiesta and what were your matchups?
I'm planning on getting the Fiesta ST one most reviews are really positive in one webpage it even got a 5 star review with about 20 reviewers.
Fiesta matchups were the Audi a1 and the Mini Cooper Chili.
It's really the only FF I could see myself buying. If there were any 3-door versions in Canada, I'd probably buy it over a Toybaru.
Gf has a 2011
got it around 35k miles. the transmission sucks. Ford put a recall on all the autos. Reprogrammed the timing, still sucks. Not smooth at all.
It started stalling randomly, maybe around 45k miles. Ford stated the throttle body was bad and needed replacement, but wasn't covered under the 50k mile powertrain warranty. Since that part is integral to the engine, I thought that was bullshit. I cleaned the TB and the issue went away.
A month ago, my gf calls me, saying there's coolant boiling in the engine bay, and the temperature light...

It has 80k miles now. It's taken us on 1,200 mile road trips, the beach, the mountains, the desert. The time it did fail, was while idling in heavy traffic for 2.5 hours with the A/C on.
I want her to get another car, only because the transmission sucks so goddamn much.
Does anyone have experience with the Honda Motocompo.
I'm looking to buy one if i can find a used one in good condition for under $2,000 if that's even possible. I am in the USA. And general oddball motorcycle thread

fuck I missed out on this shit
Oh god, it happened, I got the "talk" and bent over like a little bitch and sold my 740 Volvo and put my E32 BMW up for sale, someone is coming to pick her up tomorrow.
I think I've lost it completely because I had to sell those fuckers for insane prices and no way in hell did I get to keep any of the money.
did you get cucked and had to sell them because of ur wife?
>>14205202
No decent woman causes a man sell his toys, you need to leave that bitch now.
>>14205208
Exactly, I got that talk, the "Honey, they're old rusty shitboxes and you can't drive them all at once"
Sure, the Volvo was an NA slow as shit turd, but I had just restored that shit to showroom condition.
>>14205218
She's at her parents place right now, visiting them. I've been thinking about buying a BMW shitbox and announcing our breaking up with that BMW.

Koenigsegg does it again.
The Freevalve™ engine gets rid of the camshaft and the throttle body, replacing it with pneumatic actuators on top of each cylinder.
SOHC? DOHC? How about NOHC
Thats right, no cams.
That means a square cam profile. Which in turn means more torks.
It also means valve deactivation and tunability on the go.
I can't buy it for less than $5k?
I don't care

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST is there a single worse invention mankind invented? At least the nuke is deterrent for total warfare holy fuck. There is literally no other pic that explains my reaction so I guess this is my first dumb frogpost.
Touchscreens are slow, inaccurate, unresponsive, can't be operated with muscle memory, HAVE TO BE LOOKED AT (which is a safety concern), and if the screen fails, so will every function on it. Oh, and good luck resting your arm down.
