w/e i have a fast car
whats it like knowing you could have gotten a V8?
Probably a long shot on here, but does anyone have experience with these cars? I'm thinking about getting one of the older models (circa 2008 sell for about 70k right now) and I wonder how they are on maintenance and as daily drivers. My understanding is the older ones are basically fancy Mercedes S classes.

obviously
>>15355764
My god that thing is fugly, like damn....
I'd take a 04-06 C class over that and then do a grill swap.
>>15355777
Eh, I like them. They're weird cars by an extinct manufacturer.
First car.
Yay or nay?

Uhhhhh, the first car was made by Carl Mercedes Benz in the 1800s. That looks like a shitty Saab from the 90s, definitely not the first car...
Oh man its got a turbo bro you gotta get that.
Looks cool though, idk shit about old saab reliability and part cost. I would bet that parts arent honda dirt cheap though.
>>15355763
really good size for a first car but what are you doing looking at something so old? You're going to get in an accident and your first car will be your last.
Is the dr650 an acceptable first motorcycle?
It could be
>>15355765
Meaning? I'm 6'3" 250lbs I want something with a little more grunt than a 250 and something that I can wrench on if needed
>>15355782
sure why not
80s cars are always a terrible decision as a first car for a teenager enthusiast who needs something to get around and has no idea how to wrench.
Stop tricking people /o/.
>>15355581
if you read the sticky, there are warnings
80s cars are shit in general
get a 90s Civic or other 90s car
>tfw wanted 1988 ae92
>scared of it being a lemon
>yfw the sound your doors make when you shut them is awfully related to how well/badly built your car is
Prove me wrong.
It's related to how much sound deadening there is in the door
My doors closing sound like a cow being wacked with a baseball bat so I think thats good.
>cares about weight reduction
>drives on full tank of gas instead of 1/4th
>tfw no car with slight passenger side weight bias so distribution is even when you're driving alone
>>15355535
>gas
But... isn't gas like weightless?

not the stuff that makes the car move
sup /o/,
bought a cheap ass beater and I want to register it in california
the seller gave me the title but i just realized the back (transfer form thing) has already been filled out by another guy (who isn't the guy I bought it from)
plus the seller isn't the guy on the front of the title either
what do
>>15355480
is the title in your name with the signature of the previous owner?
>>15355480
you need a notarized bill of sale from the guy who signed the back of the title stating that he has sold the car to you.
>>15355486
the title does not have my name on it whatsoever
>>15355495
sounds great, but if I go ahead and contact him can't he just claim he owns it?
I did this
:)
It seem like jumper cables are getting worst every year

Whats the /o/pinion on the new generation caprice? i'm probably getting one from a police auction tomorrow. Seems like the impala SS in RWD imo. what do you guys think? also, what should I do with this track in the center console?
>>15355363
This is the track thing minus the laptop holder. this is a random google photo.
>>15355382
do any companies sell consumer mounts for the track thing?
>>15355363
Fuck these things, they're ALL unmarked cops here.
What does /o/ think is the ideal car for a young adult?
>>15355290
Toyota Corolla
Something small, underpowered, and unsafe.
Obviously.
>he doesn't send a lawyer to go to court for his traffic charges
You fags like getting fucked by the long dick of the law?
>getting cucked by a lawyer because your car isn't fast enough to outrun the law
LEL
Had court today for 25 over hired court off Craigslist and he doesn't know what he's doing I think I have court again in aug
>pay a lawyer $500 to get out of paying a $200 speeding ticket
okay
What are the best cars under $4000 for reliability, mileage, and low maintenance expenses?
I was thinking 2001-2003 Lexus ES 300 for reliability and I like how it looks, especially the comfy looking interior, but I read that replacement parts are really expensive.
What are some cars that fit the bill?
>read the sticky
That thing is years old.
Corolla
>>15355153
It's just a luxury version of a camry/avalon, parts will be the same
Civic
What's the most fun car money can buy under 20K?
A random petrolhead who I met on a flight back home advised to me that used Porsches can be surprisingly reliable as project and track cars. He's currently in the hunt for a Turbo Renault 5. Is he crazy, or stupid rich?
pic semi related.
>>15355114
mustang gt. you can easily find one before 2011 with under 60k miles for around 16k
if youre lucky you can find one 2011+ (with the new 5.0 engines) for under 20k but usually theyre around 22k
>>15355114
Lancer Evo 7-9. good platform. reliable (i know, its weird). makes power easy, modding is not that expensive. Back to back world time attack champs.
>>15355114
An EcoBoost Tarus.
What does /o/ think of the SC 430? I know it's a special snowflake, and I know Meme Gear said it was shit, but I think it's kind of cool.
It would be a my DD. They cost a lot but, fuck, it's a Lexus.
I have only owned GM products my entire life and I am tired of shit breaking on them constantly.
>Goes from GM to worst car in the world
christ, it's almost as if you WANT to hate yourself. Get a real Toyota
>>15355037
Corolla / Camry box cars are boring as fuck
>>15355015
Top Gear memes aside, the Z40 is an okay car. Just don't expect it to be anything more than it is: a luxury hard-top convertible. It's not much of a sportscar and not as a practical as a sedan or some other econobox.
Personally I don't like it. There were only marginal improvements over the Z30 body and in some ways it was worse. Also it didn't compare all that great next to its R230 SL-Class competition.
