I have autism and want to get pic related as my first and only car. I know it's a bad choice, but I like it. Send help.
>>27642929Certainly cheap AF for now.I filtered for location, inspection the more powerful engine, turns out you can buy a slightly tired one for 3-4k and really nice boomer owned cars for 4-6kMake sure you avoid the less powerful engine variant, the 82hp engine is much more reliable for some reason. Certainly worth looking into if you consider how crusty a similarly priced MR2 or MX5 would be>>27643249>worst reliabilityOnly on /o/. Smarts are not perfect cars ofc, but you can definitely keep one alive for little money. Remember those claims were made by the same people that think NC MX5 are "boats" and ever E46 has lost it's rear axle 3 times
>>27642929>as my first and only carthat's the bad part. it would be a horrible first car and a horrible only car. get a cheap hatchback daily, save up some money, and get the roadster as a weekend toy.patrician taste with the roadster coupe though.
Can you please explain how all of you arrived at the opinion that a Smart is expensive to run? It's a cheap ass subcompact, it sold well and for a long time. There's third party spares and people have worked out the kinks. And yes the roadster is mechanically identical, but unlike the regular models most roadsters are garage kept, well cared for and usually just driven in nice weather, often just on the weekends. They're even really cheap to insureI just don't get why this car causes everyone to pretend it's not feasble to just go out and buy a cheap old car >>27644707 and keep driving it with regular maintenance like any other used subcompact. This one just happens to be shaped like a sportscar
>>27644710I know, but I've had to use a shitty econobox all my neet life, and there's nothing more soul crushing than dailying one.
>>27642929Be careful that's an NPC choice and you can't come to this world and tiptoe through life. You just can't. Let yourself be infected by mysticism, exuberance and exclusivity. Breathe, drive and embrace a new day like those beautiful car ads from 90's magazines. Leave your mark with a Mastretta.

>Gas prices perpetually increasing>Dramatic rises due to war>High IQ people are seeking to maximize MPG's>Low IQ people choose to he poorHow are you holding up anons?You are getting 2000 miles per gallon, aren't you?
>>27617891>Take the Grand Marquis pill anon.There's no way that's your average MPG in a grand marquis, unless you've done serious modifications to your vehicle. If so, I'd like to know what they are or what kind of hypermiling you engage in. I average about 17mpg in my grand marquis with a mix of city and highway driving. Pure highway driving I can get up to 22 or 23mpg on a good day. How are you getting 28? Weight reduction?
>>27644102I'm the Cedric person. I routinely got 25-28 on the highway in my sts. I don't think it's unreasonable to assume it's possible for the grand marquis on flat ground in rather ideal ( highway with no traffic) conditions. I ended up at about 26 or on this tank, due to its gearing and better aero it does better at us speeds than the Cedric turbo.

>>27643226>>27643974Anon, what is lost in all of your cope posts is you(or the early 1st gen guy) started trolling about mpg being the end all to savings.

There's something wrong with your car if you're only getting 22mpg pure highway. >>27644143>due to its gearingThis. I have 3.27s in my Town Car. IIRC he said he had 2.73s when I asked.
I love these threads, as I am always looking for ways to maximise the value i get from this hobby.
i need a car to drive to an internship i start in a few weeks max cost: $5khow can i get my hands on a reliable, used cardealerships are scum so im trying to avoid 'em> current ideaim thinking of making flyers and posting them around retirement homes and wherever old people live and hopefully be able to get a bargain from a boomer kicking the bucket(also, i read the pinned used car guide already; im new to /o/, i generally stick to /sci/, /g/, /gd/, /x/ for cool, esoteric images, and /pol/ whenever there's something "happening")backstory (for those who have minimal curiosity):my parents want me to take the fucking bus and train (1hr 30 min commute vs 35 min by car) because they want to spend $17k on a new driveway (bc our current one is a bit ugly but its actually fucking fine, no holes, just very coarse and some oil stains from previous cars, but the current cars cover them anyways), they knew beforehand they'd need to buy me a car around the same time theyd need to pay for this driveway so it was a selfish ass fucking decision, FUCK YOUR DRIVEWAY.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>27644335If its a good paying job take the bus until your first paycheck, then go to a credit union to finance a new car using your $5k as a downpayment.Since its probably not paying well since its an internship; Facebook marketplace, newspaper classifieds, or walk/bike around town until you see a car with a "For Sale" sign on it and inquire about price and conditon. The last is what I did a year and a half ago and found a decent shitbox for $850 that I still drive today.It helps if you can work on your own car to save on money.
>>27644335Should've done the driveway work yourself but instead you are bitching about how mommy and daddy are spending the money they earned.
>>27644335Learning to wrench offsets a lot of the reliability factor and opens up your options. If you're the one paying for the car, then tell your dad to eat a dick and try the American cars anons are recommending.I'm surprised you're not finding anything on FBM though, unless you're just being really picky. You can also try offerup, though the deals aren't as good there.Have you considered a motorcycle?
>>27644335>dealerships are scum>admits that his dad is the one that doesn't trust dealershipsAnon, I think you need to grow up
>>27644357>how can i convince my dad of this, he just does not trust used dealerships in generalTell him that your friend anon has bought many affordable shitboxes from shady used lots and around 85% of them were awesome. The others were obviously shitty but my parents overlooked that and made me buy them

Late 2000s/early 2010s Avalon, 2gr V6, big and boaty, rear seats recline, often are grandpa cars but great for soaking up highway miles with good passing power, 3.6 Impalas are similar for something initially cheaper
I’m not even a libshit, Elon-hater or jumping on a bandwagon.This truck is unironically a huge piece of shit that is in no way worth its $100,000 minimum price tag. What was Tesla thinking? Did they even think at all?
>>27644497>having anything as critical as drive mode rely mostly on a screenJesus Christ my man
>>27643376You could also walk, but when you've got money to throw at a Cybertruck or other EV, most people will pick that instead.

>>27643132Whatever you may think of the outside styling, the look, the interior features, whatever, is completely irrelevant. Underneath all that is approaching sci-fi levels of tech that no other car maker is even close to replicating. The die cast frame pieces, 48v architecture, etc etc. They are leading in technology development.

Hello tourist. Just so you know, this board often has a dedicated thread for simple questions like these. It is normally titled /QTDDTOT/, which stands for "Questions that don't deserve their own thread".For your convenience, here is our current open thread:>>27628775 I'd like to encourage you to look around a bit longer and get a 'lay of the land' (especially before making your own thread)./o/ is a place to share the joy of automobiles so likewise, we're always happy to lend a helping hand!Good luck with your question , and we hope you can come to an answer swiftly
What is the most legit, hardcore racing series? Formula One or Rally?
f1 has that gypsy zoomer who won the last race and who I hate much more than Hamilton.On the other hand, WRC has whiny and unbearable idiots like Ott Tanak who is not even that good (Ogier also complains a lot but at least he is an absolute master) and who disgust me. WRC2 would be a good show if Yohan Rossel died this weekend and maybe then I would go back and watch. ERC would also be much better without Efren Llarena (I hate fat people a lot) and without Jesús Suárez whom I also hate for remaining champion of Spain for a thousand years but charging in WRC2 against much more talented drivers like my boy Sami Pajari, whom I also hate a little to get rid of Enni Malkonen. TOTAL AND ABSOLUTE DEATH TO ALL MOTOR SPORTS.

>>27641973Incorrect. While the ZDX is similar in shape, it's on the larger Pilot/MDX/Odyssey platform while the Crosstour stuck with the smaller Accord mechanicals.

>>27645514>marketing buzzword for how they design unibodies (not one specific design)try again sweatyhttps://www.hondainfocenter.com/Shared-Technologies/Safety/Advanced-Compatibility-Engineering-ACE-Body-Structure-All/Every car they make is designed this way. Does that mean the 2006 Civic (the debut car for ACE) is a rebadge of a Pilot? https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/new-cars/2011-165-zdx-advance/>No, it's not the Acura version of the Honda Odyssey Crosstour. They may share the same fastback styling, but they're based on different platforms. The Crosstour is an oversized Accord, while the ZDX is truck-based.https://web.archive.org/web/20100529200702/http://blogs.insideline.com/straightline/2010/05/2010-acura-zdx-suspension-walkaround.html>I know what you're thinking.
