It's really cold out, so I let my car run a few minutes before I start driving. My understanding is that running a cold engine can cause more wear and tear, so letting the car warm up first will make it last longer. Or something like that.
My question is, how relevant is this for driving very short distances? I just had to move my car across the street, literally drove it half a block. I let it warm up for like 30 seconds then said fuck it and drove it. For future reference, how important is it to let the engine warm up if I'm only driving really short distances?
most of the damage to a motor is done while its warming up

Anytime you shut the car off when its not at full operating temps, youre doing damage. If youre an autist like me, youre goal is to have a minimal amount of cold starts and try to get it fully warmed up anytime you drive.
You shouldnt worry about it, but if no ones looking, put it in neutral and push it next time
>>13957872
what does that mean? Like I shouldn't let it warm up at all?
>>13957887
Wait, it's the shutting off that's a problem? If I start it then drive immediately down the block, I could let it warm up there before shutting it off and it would be fine?
There was some snow and it's a bit of a hill, so pushing was not an option.
I'm not OP from the last 90s pic thread. but i wanted to try it for myself for fun.
I know I'm not the best at it so any tips help
Post a picture of your car (preferably whole car in photo) and a date/year you would like the picture. If not date is provided i'll just make up a date

After
I'm using Photoshop CS6
So far all I'm messing with is Blur, Noise, vignette, and a couple other little things.
Like i already said, i know I'm not the best and I'm not even sure if I'm good. I just enjoyed the last thread and wanted to do it to others cars.

How much would you pay for this Silverado?
~370k miles
>>13957805
$700. And that's if it is in nice condition.
about tree fiddy
>>13957805
You would have to pay me to take it.
So just leased this '15 manual accord i4 and I've driven it about 600 miles now and the clutch and gearbox have loosened up a bit. am I within a normal range?

yeah just drive it normally and hard since it's a rental

What kinds of problems do 1990s Miatas have? I'm looking at one with 130k on it. Are the engines interference or not? Any problems with the 96 miata? Looking at one of those too. 150k miles.
>>13957311
>What kinds of problems do 1990s Miatas have?
the owners
>>13957311
Non interference. After 94 they came with a 1.8(if USA) and possibly have a torsen.
No specific problems really worth noting, but here's a great list.

The most common problem I've heard of is the clutch slave cylinder likes going out. Mine did at 216k miles and was a ~$60 fix.
When I bought mine, the water pump was leaking like a mofo, but I kinda think that was due to negligence. The previous owner left the car out in his yard during hurricane Katrina and the entire engine (other than the top) was covered in clay when I bought it.
Anyone have NFS for XBone? I'm dying to have some company drifting the toe-gay in this game.
Check the catalog, newfriend.

Did people stop playing it already?

Its now sitting at work with a bunch of other games to sell to coworkers.

Yes. They were shit, but now they're less shit.
I like their vertical lights. They leave trails in my eyes at night when I move them rapidly back and forth.
>>13957070
only car i like is that ctsv although not the newer one
So this is it.
It looks awkward. Almost like that Nissan that shat itself at La Sarthe.
The German manufacturer confirmed that the new car will continue to use diesel power - setting it apart from its petrol-powered Toyota and Porsche competitors - as part of a revamped 4-litre V6 engine.
It also revealed that the car will be entered into the 6MJ energy retrieval sub-class, up from 4MJ on this year's model, which finished runner-up to Porsche in both teams' and drivers' competitions in the WEC.

Hey /o/
My father just traded in his 2013 fr-s for an 2016 WRX.
Is the new wrx any good?
>>13956820
Your dad owned an FR-S? Why?
Mid life crisis? Not enough money to buy a Corvette? I'm suprised he didn't get a Camaro at least.
>>13956820
Your father(you) has a good taste in cars. He's(you) gonna love the new Carmery.
>trading in a vehicle at a dealership
I guarantee you got fucked.
Whenever I suggest this car people say it's junk. Why?
https://youtube.com/watch?v=uEAkTbADjys
Because it weighs one and a half tons for something that's the same bodystyle and not even a foot longer than a Miata.
>>13956707
because it's slower than a Saturn Ion.

>>13956734
wow, the highest optioned saturn ion against the least optioned z4. I'd like to see that redline pull on the 3.2 or even 3.0 z4. actually, I wouldn't. driving a good car is about so much more than acceleration.
Which you would you choose?

Does anyone have any info on this front bumper? Yes, I know the wheels and hurr durr stance, but I wish for all C7s to look like ferraris.
Why would you want your car to look like the aesthetically-worst Ferrari designed in the past decade?
I mean, just look at that stupid fucking grin. I think only the FF looks sillier than this thing.
Is bompy

>why would you want your car to look like a ferrari?
Gee idk anon good question
Is the RX7 FC a good project car? I really want a rotary to have as a tuner, but I can't afford an FD.
The problem I have is that it only has 160hp, and that doesn't really seem like a whole lot. I don't want it to be a drag car, but I want to be able to autocross it and take it to the track day (bro). How can you make power from the N/A 13b? I know that there is a T2 FC, but I heard that it was difficult to add a turbo to the N/A, but what else can I do to it?
>>13956549
>How can you make power from the N/A 13b
by swapping for a v8
>>13956549
You can pick up a 13B-T or 13B-RE for like $1200 with transmission. Also, the 20B-REW is a bolt-in swap for the FC, while it's a bitch and a half to swap one into an FB or FD.
>>13956575
Also, the best way to make power from a 6 port 13B is to fill in the ports and pport it.
The Lexus IS 350 F sport is the greatest car you can by for 45k

I have one and it's an awesome car. /o/ will hate on it because it's not manual and <$20k, but it is definitely one of the best cars in its class. If anyone's actually interested, I can give you my review and how I think it compares to the other cars in its class (335i, ATS, etc.).
