I had a bad experience buying a 2023 Mazda CX50 and I'm looking to sell it and buy something similar but with better MPG's. I expect getting around 21-23k for it >SUV or Hatchback>30MPG+>heated & ventilated seats >2018 year model+>wireless android auto (not a deal breaker, but after you experience it I don't ever wanna go back to cable) >>AWD ideally, but would settle for FWD >>Under 20k$ (paying cash)
>>28870402>wireless android autoyou can retrofit this into any car with a $100 head unit or screen off amazon
doesn't exist. You can't really do any better/worse in the category of the cx5, your basically just trading badges
>>28871435they’re a faggatoid wrenchlet, they can’t turn a screw much less replace a head unit, evidenced by the fact that they at all considered buying an SUV/hatchback
Just keep the cx50. It's under warranty so every problem will get fixed. Yeah the turbo gets like 25 mpg but only poors care about mpg. You already ate the depreciation and you won't find any 2018+ rav4 under 20k. Also, they sell dongles to make your AA wireless.
>>28870402Look for a Mazda, they are pretty good
I can't imagine a car uglier uglier than TVR Cerbera Speed 12 but compared to this monster McLaren F1 is like a cute innocent Miata
1975 Jensen RoadsterIf this image sucks I will get another one. Saw this on an Ebay auction and had no idea it existed a good attempt but butt ugly imhoSold for 8000 for the record.
>>28871270That is surprising, what tires were the viper and apollo on, respectively, during those laps? And were the drivers of equivalent skill?
>>28871395Good job replying to a day old post trying control the narrative about how totally not asshurt you are about your favorite boomer getting his one off prototype special dunked on. sledgehammer threads never get ignored precisely because if you mention it in any way even without saying anything, someone like you will always be there to preemptively cope about how fast it went or it being a "one off" without a hint of irony.I know you're wrong because i can just check the archives.
>$400,000 in 1988 for GM build qualitylollmao even
Will tires eventually be too expensive for normal people to buy?
>>28867404I was about to say just get ECS if you're not driving in the snow and decided to look up the min temp for ECS, supposedly continental says don't use them at temps under 45°F and to lift the car if temps are below freezing to prevent flat spotting. Whoops. I was driving on ECS02s all winter, though on days when we had snow I stayed home. Luckily I'm not a fucking idiot so when it's cold or wet out I give extra distance and slow down because I know my tires are probably not at 100%.
>>28866429>>28866431What the fuckAre these real?I can get blue tires??All my shit has 15 inch rims tho
>>28871715Yeah because it's a summer tire. I've been driving my pzero at 39-45 when dry and it can be pretty sketchy at times. Not worth it. The rears will be worn after this season so I'll just get the dws06. The only other all seasons for my car on tire rack is laufenns kek
>>28871804>Yeah because it's a summer tireI live in the south. When it snows I stay home. I figure good enough.

>>28871791A dirt racer, a nice executive car for cruising, what the fuck don't CL9s excel at?
>>28871795Too bad ground clearance is so low. I've taken my tsx on a lot of fire roads and it is scary waiting for the scrape sounds
And who cares about him cutting up Porsches they suck anyways.What kind enjoyment do people find in watching this riced cooked monkey geezer build a car while smoking through two packs of cigarettes and air out his balls.> i bet one of those girls smelled that seat afterwards
Because he's Japanese.
>>28871104>noticed I’ve been here for 15 years at this point>anons STILL make seethe threads about this hack on the dailyLook man, I know autism loves familiar patterns, repetition and such but holy shit can you retards please get new material?

>>28871685I thought he was being satirical.
I'm thinking of getting a 3rd gen or 4th gen Mazda 3 Sedan as a daily driver. I really like the was they look. Are they reliable mechanically? Fun to drive? What about rust since I know the 1st gen Mazda 3's were notorious when it came to rusting.
>>28864444Checked
one of the cars of all timealso maybe the only instance where you should go for the sedan over the hatch
>>28869341He copy pastes the same shit every time someone mentions the 3 in any thread
its fine i guess, mazda is the least gay normie brand.
>>28870950those back pillars block nothing you can't see with your side mirrors.
Im starting to go bald bros.Should I shave it off, get a vette' and join the boomer corvette meets?
>>28870907Sure but if you pay that price for a Stingray, you are an idiot.
wearing cargo shorts takes attention away from the bald
>>28871216You have to be special kind of retarded if you think sbc has stayed the same since 60's.
>>28871085I mean, you are not going to be using your testicles a lot of you go bald
>>28871085the finasteride fearmongering is unreal, it literally did nothing to or for me. but since balding is caused by DHT you are going to have to make the choice of which you value more no matter what.t. ended up doing way worse

>>28871728>I live in IrelandHush, the important countries are talking.
>>28871723You know, youre allowed to have more than one vehicle. Regardless, even if i didnt own more than one car, I would just rent something for a roadtrip. You guys keep pulling out hypothetical scenarios like its some gotchya moment. Guy ive lived my entire adulthood with sub-practical vehicles. There is no vehicle that works for every scenario so you could make any argument about any vehicle and any scenario. Its why this board is so retarded half the time because its just a bunch of "oh yeah well what if you need your miata to tow a trailer?" "Oh yeah well what if you need your f150 to go on a track". Just stop being retarded its easier that way.
>>28871467>own EV>get home>plug in and charge overnight>daytime solar panels make up the cost>totally ignore gas prices
>>28871630This.Why would anyone go to a shady looking gas station??
>>28871749this. for example ICE cars are terrible for gays. they're too smelly and loud, ew. nothing like sucking cock in a nice smooth quiet EV. no all-male household is complete without one.
Mx-5, Miata, Roadster, Fiata General The flowers of late winter and early spring occupy places in our hearts well out of proportion to their size.Old:>>28816315
Tfw didn't find a Miata in the spec I wanted all winter and now spring is here and I'm miataless

>>28870603Don't give up. When those old folks go to start it after the winter and the battery's flat, that'll be your time to shine.
>>28868111smae, I just had my mechanic put a chonky clutch and 8.8lb flywheel in mine and it's fuckin awesome, shoulda done this forever ago>>28870603winter is a bad time to look for convertibles, should be more coming up for grabs in the next month or two. whatcha looking for
Any work that you put off until after winter? Regretting that decision yet? I sure am!
>>28871108Its not THAT bad if you pull off the bumpers.And I checked it was a 1998 prototype.Also it IS buried.They buried it before they dug up the other one and discovered it's vault had failed.The prowler is in an aluminum box that was (in theory) welded completely airtight so who knows how it will survive.
>>28871391i thought it was buried under a mound that ensured it was still higher than the surrounding ground so any water would drain away from the sarcophagus.
>>28870448the roads resemble the moonscape with lots of gravel/dirt and the rains in the last week didn't do enough to truly wash them off, so my car is probably gonna pull a punxsutawny phil and stay in the garage for another 6 weeks. in the meantime im gonna install a iag aos, csf aluminium radiator, and change the steering rack + left front axle seal now that the temps are warming up and i can stay outside for more than a few hours
>>28870788Let's just say I rubbed off in your mom, if you can understand my meaning?
>>28871406Ya, its semi buried.And it was moved in 2003.Full story with pics and google street view link.https://www.thedrive.com/news/31755/theres-a-1998-plymouth-prowler-prototype-buried-in-a-tulsa-city-park
What would happen if I swapped an M109R engine into an NB?Am I retarded?
>>28869010The motor from a ktm 1290 super Duke r would work better, it's more powerful and already has a drysump.
>>28871115Are you implying that the engine would develop more torque than it and the transmission were designed for, by simple virtue if being mounted in a heavier vehicle? Fascinating.
>>28871221No. I mean when you let off the gas and the weight of the car slams itself onto the components. Your idea would be nice, howbeit
>>28871346>the weight of the car slams itself onto the componentsThe only resistance on the drivetrain when coasting is from the engine... are you implying that the engine makes more torque (a destructive amount) when coasting than when you're on the throttle?
>>28871651OP here. Do you have a brain tumor? He may be referring to, for example, being at high speed and/or going downhill, and putting the vehicle in a low gear and leaving the clutch engaged for engine braking.
For me, it's the Bedford Rascal.
>>28871274how is this legal its just a paintjob and a badge
>>28860437Wonderful little van. They should bring back the Bedford brand too.
>>28871647Would be hard to bring back that exact model, as it doesn't meet modern emissions, but you'd think that today's van could be welded together in the UK and sold as a Bedford again. They run the Suzuki K-Series engines which are still sold there. Would be doable.

Ford is planning to bring back the Falcon Ute and sedans. It'd be based on either the Mustang or Explorer platform and feature a pickup/ute, a sedan and likely a crossover and MSRP below German rear drive luxury sedans and body on frame trucks. Ford has been pushing for a four door Mustang based sedan since 2016 and even showed off prototypes and the success of the Maverick has reignited interest at Ford corporate for a low slung car based flat bed.The last hurdle would be how to manufacture them profitably. It's likely that a combination of US and Mexico production will be selected featuring turbo I4, V6 and V8 options. Spain, Thailand and China are secondary production locations also likely to be selected for global markets. Jim Farley has personally been looking into the prospect of reigniting the Ford ute.
>excited to work on car>all the bolts are stuck or rusted and snap>not excited anymoreIt hurts bros
>>28871475every time i snapped a bolt was when i just leaned into it with a cheater bar. impacts always got it off without breaking anything.also atf is best penetrant
First of all use a size smaller socket. Switch between imperial and metric to go incrementally and hammer the socket over the bolt. Hammering it can sometimes release the rust in the thread.If >>28871460 happens you can try a blowtorch and mole grips to remove the remaining thread. Ofc this is all providing its on parts that you can access easily.But basically stop being a bitch.
>>28871453Australia will always stay winning
>>28871595snapped two bolts on my falcon and discovered the back of the cab is made of load bearing rust the other day
>>28871453Arizona/Texas chads keep winning
What were they thinking?
they were thinking blue arrowhide threadez
