There is nothing like that in the world at all, or else there wouldn't have been a person in the world without a car.

Actually Twingo seems to fit the bill so do other legendary shitboxes. If only Renault would continue to make those, and sell them with MSRP of 1000$.

There will never be a car like that due to ecology norms forcing the development of new engines.

Shame on you /o/.

Those old darts with the slant sixes.

Ford's 60's to 80's straight sixes are right below this in reliability.

Nobody ever adjusted the valves on those for some reason though so if you ever see one it sounds like a fuckin diesel.

I used to be able to tell how low the engine was on oil by valve train noise. Not sure what it was about fords straight sixes but if you were more than half a quart low the engine would tell you through the hydraulic lifters. The more oil missing the louder it would be.

Not having a working oil dummy light and have a rear main seal leak, that noise was my warning.

VW TDI owner reporting. Hoping to get somewhere around $12-14K for my 2012 Jetta once the settlement program starts. Have been thinking of getting a motorcycle, but not having a car might suck in certain situations. I'd need a motorcycle that could have an easy enough time getting me to and from work 20 miles outside of the city each day. Also easy to maintain. Recommendations on a motorcycle around $8K that would fit the bill? Thanks in advance. Just started reading this board as I contemplate.

You know, they say that, but I see a LOT of late model PTCs on the road still, some of those cars are going on 10 years old.

They are really hateful and picky machines, not like an AK47, more like a South American-made H&K clone.


Volvo 240 is the AK47
740 is the AK74

Two cylinder 2-stroke engine. Not a lot TO go wrong, the bodywork is literally impervious to any form of decay, and any machine shop could turn out a spare anything for one.
You could also buy a second-hand one with just a pair of american jeans, and the previous owner would walk away thinking he'd got the better deal.
And he'd be right.

And yes, the bodywork was literally unable to decay at all. The bodyshells still persist. They don't burn, they don't rot, and they're so damn tough you have to feed them through an industrial shredder to get rid of them.
And since nobody has one, they're usually turned into chicken coops or something.

The only true answer is the Moskvitch. The IZh-built ones, to be specific. And, if we're including bikes, the IZh-56.
