Anyone else have local areas where traffic becomes a bottleneck at rush hour because of old roads/shitty driving and people can't space themselves properly? I get triggered if I'm behind a semi on that bridge and suddenly the hazard lights come on.

I have $9000

What's a good sports car that I can drive on the street normally while still being somewhat competent on the track so I feel like fucking god hand when I'm behind the wheel? I want a car that's easy to drive fast and makes me feel confident pushing it. (doesn't have to be blistering fast, just quick is fine) without trying to kill me if I fuck up. A FRS/BRZ would be perfect but they haven't depreciated enough.

Almost settled on a E36 M3, but I'm looking at some other options:

S52 Z3M Roadster, pretty much a E30 Cabrio. Seems snappier than the E36 (trailing arms + shorter wheelbase) but its unique.

03-05 350Z? These don't seem like a bad option given their age. Only 150lbs heavier than a M3 but you can't add much front camber apparently. Never drove one.

Mazdaspeed Miata? I actually like these, but hard to find (not the season for them + low production #s).

05+ Legacy GT? Probably just gonna disappoint me in terms of understeer, but only Turbo AWD in that range that isn't a beat to fuck DSM/WRX.

I can't think of many options aside from those in the price range.

What turned you off to the E36 M3? It seems to fit very well with what you are looking for.

An E46 330Ci ZHP package might be another idea.

What about an RX8? It looks funky but the chassis is one of the best.
>>
E36 M3 is around the low point right now, starting to rise again. It won't go that high like the E30, but still right now is a good time to buy, and plenty of performance companies out there are still developing products for it.

>>14577884

Absolutely nothing. I actually like it. I've been looking for once since I got out of high school. Now that I have a stable job, bigger garage, and a shitbox daily I could realistically own one.

The one I'm looking at is a 97 M3 2dr Luxury Package Silver/Black with 133k miles for $6700. Owned by a older white guy since 2002, and he's done "brakes, rotors, pads, clutch, radiator, shocks, water pump, tires, belts, o2 sensors" done by "a local shop in town" and he's had it since 2002. No accident history either. I already have the money ready and I'm going to check it out this Saturday.

I think what's honestly scaring me off? The prices on parts. It's a bit excessive; even though I realize it was equivalent to a $60k car in 2016. I kinda hate working on cars too, I'll do it kicking and screaming just to be a cheap jew (I enjoy driving them though) but I don't enjoy it.

I'm looking at other options in case I find something better...but I'm really having a hard time.

RX-8 I know it has a phenominal chassis/suspension. I got scared after reading the horror stories on rx8club.

>>14577923
Pretty much. I can't even find Mazdaspeed Miatas either. A good amount of cheap 350Zs though.

>>

depends

the layering I do is easy because I can just plop it down on a vinyl sheet and cut it out. it can also be hard if you layer things that need to be exactly in the right spot though. Anything with more than two layers is basically that.

It's the retardedly low compression and perfectly cylindrical camshafts that make them underperform. Open up the exhaust, put in flat top pistons, and put in a more radical cam and you have an engine that's just as good or better than what the small block 60's muscle cars had.

Yeah, definitely going to if I can't get enough by the 15th.
I think if I save 100% of my tips and paychecks I'll be able to afford the trip and the car.

Worst case scenario I have to borrow money, or offer up my PS4 or something for trade.

This car is like the cute girl I met in high school: She's a beauty, and I just can't get her off of my mind ;-;
Hopefully underneath the pretty outside she's not a worn out piece of trash though.

Do you actually own a car? The title must be in your name and you must pay for the car and insurance or it's not yours.

Looks like most people on /o/ don't own their own car, even if it's a cheap normie daily.

Holy hell this board has gone to shit.

No wonder there are so many shitposters.

You don't race? Understandable, shit's expensive.

You don't drive a performance oriented car? Unfortunate but we all know they are overpriced and take money to run.

You don't wrench? Despicable but there are worse things.

But not owning your own car...even if it's a $500 daily driver...most of you are dead. No soul.

Like being on /g/ and not owning a computer, even an old one. You can buy, insure, register, and keep on the road a car for less than a decent PC, for less than a PS4 and half a dozen games.

>Obtaining a CDL: How does one do?
Where: Community College, Vocation Specific School (i.e. Trucker School)
How: Savings motherfucker, or financing - some schools finance, there's financial aid if you can go to a comm. college, banks hand out loans for CDL training all the time because lots of companies will pay it for you once you're hired.

>How can I into avoidings shit companies?
Here are some decent/good companies:
http://pastebin.com/Sv0cyWyH
If you don't see the company you're looking at included on this list, it's probably a coin toss between good or bad.

>I could totally go to school but I'd rather be a trucker.
You're literally retarded. Go to school. Anyone can get a CDL in less than a month of training. You can't do that with schooling. AFTER you get that degree/cert., if you don't like the field/career you're in, THEN get a CDL.

Not that anon: I've been looking into Panthers lately, what can you expect to pay for what years in average condition? Do fleet cars or Interceptors drive the price down or do people still try to ream you for them?
>>
>>14577700

You're absolutely right. It was still a pretty good purchase considering that it provided me with fairly trouble free transportation for 4 years now.

It's never left me stranded. The biggest repairs were the heater core (had to take out the entire dash) and replacing the drivers side cats. I replaced nearly all of the front steering and suspension component, (which you would want to do on any 100k mile car. I replaced the shocks with KYB Police Spec shocks, which transformed the handling of the car. The good thing about this car is that parts are extremely cheap. I added bigger sway bars from cop cars, and added leather seats to the interior that I found at the junkyard. I feel pretty confident in it. It's great for cruising down the highway.

Pic related: 12 hour heater core replacement (I got a new motorcraft heater core for $35 and a bend door actuator for $10)
>>
>>14577891
It's one of those cars you can still get a hell of a deal on because grandma will give you a good price. Some will ask high becasue "dud its a cop car" but really wouldn't pay over 4 grand for one unless it's really good condition. As awlays, get the 2003 or newer if you're getting the 1998-2011 body style.

Cop cars are like $1500-3000. LX Sport is a civilian model with some performance enhancements, that one will be probably $4000-6000 (asking, up to you if you want to pay that much) Then you got regular Crown Victorias, Grand Marquis for $1500-5000. You can find really nice Lincoln Town Cars $8000 and under.
>>
>>14577891

Well if it's under 100k and in good shape, don't pay more than $1800 for a 89-97 CV. 98-2003 I wouldn't go more than $2200, and 2004+ I wouldn't go more than $3000. Of course, 100k and over the norm for a panther is around $2k, give or take.

Some foreign fucks try to use the low mileage p71 or fleet car as a higher selling point, but really with all the idle hours and hard miles they've driven, expect a retired P71 with 90k mi to have the wear equivalent of 130k. But most of the time, depending on where you live P71's are cheap.
