>>4744542Nissans fall apart after about 120k, plastic panels falling off, oil leaks and transmission recalls... And generally cheap uncomfortable interiors across the make. Pass on all Nissans unless Skyline. Even the 350 and 370z's are already going to hell under decent upkeep which is a shame. I will extend an olive branch though; when compared to all Japanese auto makers, they're still much better than Subaru. (Bracing for incoming hate from Outback and WRX users)
What's the oldest/coolest/rarest/most expensive car you've ever gotten to drive anons? For me it was a 1939 Willys Jeep with a three speed manual and NO suspension. The flat street I took it up and down felt like a trampoline.I was building a deck for a guy and we got into a conversation about cars. He took me into his garage and pulled a tarp off something that I assumed was just a grill because it was so small, and underneath was a machine that had been deployed to France and Germany in the 1940's.

>>4745376>oldest/rarestI was fortunate enough to get incredibly cheap tickets to Palermo through a LAN fren's dad who flew commercially(where he also lived since being divorced). he had a Ferrari 400 GT that he was harboring for a family member who was doing time in another country. He fired it up and while it wasnt running at it's best it was still something to behold, especially since I always had a soft spot for the 365 GTB/4 Daytona.>coolest2002-2003 St Louis Auto Show I got a ride in the new Viper SRT-10 and saw Rosario Dawson with some sportsball player.>>4745403>now its impossibleall you have to do is make the threads you want to see. still, it could be much worse. imagine if there was a work safe /hr/... it would remove any and all balance we currently have and then it would just be /s/ with a higher standard for images.

>>4745838What's up with the doors on this thing? It looks like a four-door, but I can't perceive a separation between the front and back doors.
>>4744530I never was down with the idea of the major car manufacturers lending out their designs to outsiders (like Shelby) and giving them free reign not only to make internal performance improvements (which would be okay), but also to alter the style and appearance of the original template car - in this case, a Ford Mustang.It always made me think that the major manufacturers were admitting someone else could do better than they were with their intellectual property.
>>4746786Well seeing how the Mustang was a secretaries car, it's not hard to imagine anyone doing it better than Ford.
>>4745981Front engined 'vettes of all marques will be the next big movers in classic car value. Bargains to be had.
>>4747001C7's were generally disliked. Too much aero and the styling made it look like whoever designed it was simply aping the ACR Viper's and applying to a C6.C4/5/6 are all righteous and timeless designs.C8's could be better with more traditional styling and being less of a McLaren copycat.

>>4745381what kind of 21st century does not have them
>>4750438Maybe I'm a pleb bc i'm not really into cars, but I think every car made since 2000 has been so fucking ugly. the whole silhouette of them all is just smooth curvy blobs, no edge.I always thought pop up headlights were cool, I'd love an old 90's mazda or something. My dad told me that those headlights were prone to failure, but i feel like surely they would've gotten around that by now? such a shame they went out of fashion
>>4750438You can blame corporate penny pinching. It's extra moving parts and electrical components for them to manufacture and assemble, which is more expensive off the line than static headlights. In other words, they make cars cheaper now and charge you more for them.
>>4744519I don't know why, but I love it this car.
>>4750438banned in the 90s because of crash regulationsyou see cars like the RX7 and the Diablo do hasty redesigns to adapt.
>>4751666Well, they weren't banned. The Firebird kept them until 2002 and the Corvette until 2004. The crash regulations just made it harder to get them to pass. In reality it's a combination of what >>4751623 said, and aerodynamics. Flush headlights cause less drag than popup units. The 1984 DOT regulations changes that finally allowed composite headlights thanks to Ford's efforts meant that there was no need for pop-up units that hid the sealed beams when not in use in order to get smooth aerodynamics anymore. Most cars designed with pop-up headlights were designed in the 1970s when the cost of motorization dropped low enough that it was cost effective. That's why we also got hidden headlights, like what exist on the Lincoln Continental Mark III and the third generation Chrysler 300 in the early '70s.
>>4751664Because thats freaking GODZILLA

Why are wedges so aesthetic?
>>4750443>My dad told me that those headlights were prone to failure,Corvettes began having them in 1963. In those days, the mechanism that did the flipping used engine vacuum - of all things. With predictable results. They wouldn't come up (or go down) in sync. Sometimes, one, the other, or both would stay up (or down) and not answer commands to change. They were really a nightmare. Restoration shops that have clients not married to 100% faithful presentation will re-rigg the lights on an electric motor system - the way they should've been since the beginning.

>>4849899>old thing good>new thing badYou can take it for granted that 1965 polcels called your green mustang a result of communism and whined about whatever 1940 car being le based
>>4854196That's really not true. The new Bentleys are great, the new Ferraris. I quite like the new Mustang, it's certainly better than the 1972 - 2004 versions. Newer Lambos are better than those that went before them. The i8, the new Corvette. The DB12. The NSX is cool, the GTR is awesome, etc.There's a lot of new stuff that's really awesome. It just isn't a prius or a tesla or a note or anything that takes 20-200 minutes to charge and looks like a wet rag; irrespective of performance or range.
>>4855546Ferrari's aren't thrilling anymore and every Lambo since the Murciélago has had the same old shape. I gave the C8 a fair shake and I just dont like it. I thought the C7's were ugly but at least they sounded like a Vette. GTR's have always been hideous and awfully noisy. the body styles needs a total overhaul after 16 years of Nissan "losing money on each one made". conveniently, innovations seem to have hit a wall around the same time the world was supposed to go through an apocalypse.
>>4856361>Ferrari's aren't thrilling anymoreWith all due respect. You haven't driven one. You have no idea what you are talking about.
