What's a cheap 70s to 2000s car for an European shithead who wants to feel like he's piloting a fighter jet? Pic semi related.
>>27661035Saab 900 accept no substitute. Like a jet, its great until it blows the fuck up, then you just bail out.It wont "blow up", just scatter some metal in engine or gearbox.
>>27661216I can't get one where I live :(Besides I'm more of a 9000/9-5 guy, which I can't get either.Unironically considering an Alfa 147 if I can get it cheap
>find metal on drain plug like this last oil change>Current oil change same thing:(This oil change I am going synthetic but it makes me sad I love my truck I don't like seeing it like this. Can someone hold me?
I had a Subaru Forester that started showing flakes in the oil and sold it immediately and then leased a Corolla Hatchback SE, then when my lease ended, I got 6k equity on my Corolla because of the time frame I leased it, and it being a desirable car, and then I financed a 2024 XSE Corolla with 6k down from a lease (lol) and 1k down from my pocket. Shit was so cash. Now I don't have to worry about that Forester and it's inevitable engine failure. Never again Mr. Boxer
>>27663017This, just throw some clean oil in there and sell it, don't mention any problems and you'll get a lot more money.
My 2012 civic with 195000 miles does the same thing. What gets me is it uses absolutely no oil, gets 41 mpg on highway and runs excellent. Engine is quite, makes no sense. I've owned it since 2013, nothing but valvoline synthetic at oil change.
>>27660550Looks fine to me
>>27660550>Shows fingerprints in imageI have sold your prints to poojeets and you are now financially comprimised and have no identity.
I'm 6'4" can I fit in an ND Miata, and are they good? I am longer in the torso I think. Or should I get an Ecoboost Mustang or something like that?
>>27660918inseams are part of lookism now?what did that happen?
>>27662093sure thing buddy. Not everyone is built the same. Some people's height comes more in their legs, also the RF has more head room than the soft top. Real 6'3'' hear and have no problem w/ head room, but like I said, probably couldn't wear a helmet.
>>27662129>the RF has more head room than the soft topRandom other 6'3"anon here, this was not my experience. I spent 10 minutes trying to find a seating position where I could fit in an RF and gave up, in an ST I fit just barely, hair touching. I think you've got things reversed.
>>27662129>RF has more head room than the soft top. not in my experience.I've sat in both.still couldn't fit my head in a RF that had a slider delete and a thinner Sparco Sprint seat.ur ass is 6ft.I can guarantee it.
>>27661937removing airbag was bitchy.mark spline alignment before you start other than that it was easy and I'm a wrenchlet. I'm sure flyin miata has a good video on the subject.
post cars that aged like milk
>>27662463There is already a thread for this you fucking retard >>27660785 kill yourself
>>27662463I absolutely love classic cars with simple and clean lines like this. Hate modern shit that looks impotently aggressive, with wacky body lines that and nowhere and start nowhere. See: modern Mustangs.
>>27662463C8
>>27662564Yes, this exact thread with the same image has been posted dozens of times. It's basically a newfag filter at this point.
>>27662566That never agedIt was shit out the gates, and still shit today.
What is a somewhat reliable rwd manual car for $10k or less that isn't overpriced for what it is? Zoomers have clapped out every miata and want 8k for their anemic shitbox
>>27660916stop being a useless wrenchlette, you're going to have to unclap something yourself for your tiny budget
>>27660916That truck literally has downs
>>27661241Yeah they are. One of the best NA inline 6 engines ever made.
I feel like 6-8k is just the norm for barely clapped used vehicles now.
>>27662761I remember browsing CL when I was broke years ago and there being so many quality shitboxes for 3-5k it's gotten so bad nowI'll either have to take the bike pill or buy something new it's hard to justify shitboxes now
.
>>27660394Supposedly the guy who designed the i8 was on the team that designed the 991.

>>27660378
>>27660378wtf it does
>>27661658I never ever typed "hybrid" in any of my sentence, anon.
I am getting a Chevy Impala very soon. Getting that V6 dawg.
>>27660161>>27660164Why? Just get a brand new off the lot Chrysler 300 with pentastar v6 or Hemi v8 of your choosing
>>27662329if i had 40k to drop on a car, i would. impala SS', even well taken care of examples, are cheap.
>>27660161god bless, op
>>27662329>getting a charger/challenger/300 with the V6
>>27660161I feel bad for you. They fucking suck.
Found in the "Low Miles No Miles" public Facebook group.What's wrong with these people?
>>27659699>he thinks that's an actual check engine lightYou're a fucking retard.
>>27662969You in DFW? And yeah, he's relisted all of his corvettes for well over a year, now just realize each month its $5 per listing. Now realize how many people would rather pay craigslist probably hundreds of dollars instead of just taking a couple thousand less on offers. But that corvette is probably a $16-20k model given its overall condition. Its weird seeing collectors value their own cars and just being wrong because one time they saw a similar car go on auction for that much.
>>27658553>regular startsLiterally more wear as if you beat on the motor all day
>>27659699>>Check engine lightThis anon has never started a car.

You guys realize a C5 has one of the shitty old automatics from the 90s, not a new 10 speed with lightning fast shifts and 800ftlb torque capacity, right?>>27659318this

The car responded, but fuck all is happening at the moment. Is the GB40 capable of trickle charging?Picrel
>>27662725They’re lifesavers. Most of the time you don’t know your battery is dying until it leaves you stranded. And like 30% of the time it’s because the battery drops a cell and goes to ~10.4V without warning and testing the battery health a week earlier would never tell you it’s about to die.For $50-$75 to have the thing in the trunk and be able to help save your own ass or help friends and family or even strangers, it’s not a bad buy. Even if it saves you once, that’s cheaper than calling a tow company to jump your car, and it’s cheaper than buying quality jumper cables that don’t take 20min to charge up the dead car.I’ve bought half a dozen jumper bricks for friends and family and they’re great. Even the Chinese ones have been lasting >5 years easily. The oldest one from 2017 or 2018 is finally starting to have a cell bulge a little bit.
>>27662689I've only got a 1.6lt little hyundai. I heard that the GB40's are good enough to start up 6 cylinders so I went for it>>27662675There is an override. Is it safe to leave the thing on override for more than 30 or so minutes latched onto the battery?
>>27662675Thist. fellow gooloo chad
>>27662462GB40's are trash and don't have enough amperage to overcome a completely flat battery that's sulfated itself to death. You need a Gooloo,see >>27662675
Glad to see all of you morons are finally realizing batteries basically last forever.Told ya so
What is the most nice colour?red maroon or blue?
It's a nissan versa who cares
none.
Blue.
>>27662884A dark blue. Even that Nissan looks good in a dark blue.
Car designs that aged like milk
>>27662479I kinda like it, but I guess I think any car looks cool when it's clean and taken care of.
>>27661097>>27661325What is this? Tape residue?
>>27661772Are you really dissing the design of the E39 zoomer? E38,E39,E46 are objectively seen as the last good designs that company put out.
>>27661772Needs more fake vents and wings huh you little LED loving ricer
>>27660789>>27660793grill looks like fence wire. chrome looks like plastic. headlights come from a truck. sticking it's ass out like a dog in heat. overall shit design.
A friend of mine wants a cheap sports car to impress women, he can spend 15k. I told him to get a mazda rx8, but he said it didnt look imposing enough. what would you tell him, /o/?
>>27661349>extended cab sports car
>>27661303>Friend wants a sports car>Recommends him a car thats not a real sports car, its a lifestyle car with sporty styling>Most people just call it a hairdressers car
>>27661338Muscles, like cars generally receive 99% of compliments from other men
>>27661303>but he said it didnt look imposing enoughHate niggers, not racist just don't like em
>>27661303He's right, women only care about the brand and the look of a car, so maybe he should buy an old civic, slap a bodykit and hellcat badges and paint it in matte or some retarded ass color niggers love, roasties will wet themselves and they would be none the wiser you're driving a layman level car
Who is superior?
>>27662644I prefer diesel, but I admit that gasoline is superior for a lawn mower and a chain saw
>>27661551>Who is superior?Provide context.
>>27661551Depends on application and how it was designed to fit that application.
>>27661915I have never had any issues at all running nu trucks besides having to fill up the def randomly even though I don’t need to stop for fuel. It is an afterthought and not fear inducing at all.
>>27661767True, my W211 diesel Merc has a 21 gallon fuel tank kek
>Most practical kind of vehicle you could buy in 2024>Is the single most humiliating thing you could be seen driving inHow do I get over the shame of owning a minivan? I'm pretty young and the thought of picking up a girl in one of these makes me not want to get one.
I'm honestly thinking about selling my Focus for a Honda FR-V with decent mileage (<100k). I could carry bikes inside and still seat 3 people in the front.
>>27660022What about a VW Touran? Seems to have a pretty versatile interior as well.
>>27659335>How do I get over the shame of owning a minivan? Buy a cheap one so you that way have money left over for a fun car for all the times when you don’t have to drive a minivan.Same premise as owning a beater pickup along with a fuel-sipping compact.
>>27659357Why did they stop making these? Perfect size to function ratio.
>>27659335I want a minivan but they are like $50k. At that point I would just get a used LS.
