When the fuck are flying cars happening? Imagine how hype this will be.
Shaniqua is cruising down the freeway at 80mph on 2 donuts with her hood duct taped closed.Do you really want her to own something that can fly over over your house?

Let me guess - you "need" more
>>28757072looks about right to me. I'd prefer 3 dials over climate control and I could do with a manual but other than that, no notes. Love me a CD player.
I enjoy both, manual and automatic
>>28759502Depends on the car for me, but if I could only have one it'd have to be a manual. I don't want a luxobarge with a manual and I don't want a sporty car with an automatic, but I also don't want to not have a sporty car.
>>28757072fuck your damn strip club chair interior old man
>>28757072I actually need less
This is my car!It's not my actual car but thats the model.I really love my car!Did I do good guys?

>>28759820Holy shit mine is actually blue and a 1.4!Its actually a "vision" which i think just menas it had better air-conditioning and electric windows in the front. Love my shitbox. The only car I never named actually.
>>28759852Mine's an SE, I've got electric windows all round. You don't learn this stuff on the car enthusiast board, all these teenagers don't even have cars and they just want to talk about laptimes and shit that doesn't matter.

>>28756226Just go to Valvoline oil change. Don’t be a Jew.
>>28756735Oil viscosity breaks down over time and stops protecting the internals. Defeats the purpose.
Save some for lubricant at the drill press, some for the mower, some for the chainsaw. The rest gets dumped by the back fence.

>>28756735It gets contaminated with particulates which will either clog the filter and starve your engine of oil, thus ruining the engine, or the contaminants will find their way back into the engine and ruin the engine.
>$600/mo new car payment is cheaper than spending $2-3k/yr on maintenance/repair on a paid off car
>>28759332This fucks me up.How am I supposed to justify financing a fifty thousand dollar Mustang when I could build something truly nasty for under $15k?
>>28758914my shitbox costs around 2k a year with all the parts needed and taxes and inspection (lol yurop)
>>28758920That's nowhere close to worst case scenario for someone who owns a performance oriented vehicle.

>>28758914I just paid $120 for new coils to fix a misfire and then $1200 for a new catalytic converter because the misfire fucked it up.

>>28758212>one owner (elderly)This is a bad thing
OP here, I just got back from test-driving that Ford Fiesta. It ran & drove well, was mechanically sound, but that car stank of mold or mildew inside, had some missing interior panels, a bunch of scrapes on the driver's side door around the keyhole where the previous owner clearly frantically but futilely tried to get the key in (makes sense: it was donated/sold to auction by whomever had power of attorney over the old guy's estate), so I tried out a few other cars.Still haven't settled on one.
>>28759424God was looking out for you. He says to look for a hatchback.
>2011 automatic Fiestakek run the fuck away
>>28758244>6-speed automatic (technically an automated dual-clutch pseudo-manual transmission); how problematic are these, and when should I expect issues?Focus haver here, DPS6 will start to shit the bed electrically anywhere around 40-60k miles. With the newest TCM it will mechanically last until 160k-220k miles, at which point you can easily swap in an MTX-75 5 speed manual and take it another lifetime. 2.0l Duratec + 5 speed lasts forever. See pic related for the TCM model every DPS6 should have installed. Frankly that fresh of a fiesta should be mint with a new one of these. Highly recommend, fun little vehicles.

I like this car. It needs a bit of work (thermostat housing leaks, etc), but it floats like a thundercloud and takes off like a jet. While parked after test drive, the engine would stutter at 4,500 rpm, but otherwise ran smoothly.$3,000 for this? $6,000 for the 2015 Hyundai Elantra Sport which had a new engine put in 25,000 miles ago? $2,500 for an old circa 2000 Toyota Camry? The $5,500 Ford Fiesta with only 14,000 miles which I went there to see originally ran great but was kinda dirty, lots of scrapes, a few missing panels inside, and the interior stank of mildew/mold, so I passed on that.Comment too long.

>>28759397>3k for a 20yo chrysler tta needs a bunch of work WTF IS THIS MARKET BRO FUUUUUUCCCCK
>>28759466It's pretty dire. Your only real option is obsessively browsing listings until you stumble upon some le hidden gem
>>28759397I'd buy a Hyundai long before I bought a fucking Sebring.My buddy had one of those on HS.Complete pile of garbage from top to bottom.
to be fair the issues with the 2.7's water pump were fixed around 2000, so the final few model years are actually decently reliable. id still avoid any car with that engine, but its not anywhere as dire as it used to be. if it was a '98 or something it be a hard no.the hyundai has already had an engine replacement, that should tell you which car is actually reliable.
>>28759397There's a reason these are pretty much extinct. The final years when you still saw them you would almost always heat them before you saw them. They all made a an extremely loud Hellcat-esque whine as they went by as their tranny was in the process of dying. They all blew massive clouds of blue oil smoke too. If it were a mint condition grandma car you could just drive it until it dies but this one seems like it has some hidden issues. Those are all terrible alternatives except for the Camry. a $2500 Camry will have seen some horrific things so beware.
Abarth 500's are fun and silly to own. Those that hate them are 0 IQ HP/Torque tryhards

>>28758962Cucked in what world? Deluded weeblet world? The miata's acceleration is like a whole 1.5 seconds slower than an abarth's 190 horses. Of course real miata-fags know this because they get gaped by pretty much EVERYBODY.
>>28757386yup, you sometimes get a nasty single pop on shifts too. its glorious
>>28758967none of that has anything to do with how it runs or reliability. those are called quirks son.
2012 Volvo S60 is pretty damn nice. Only thing i don't like is the cupholders are right behind the gearstick, so if you have a drink you have nowhere to rest your arm.
>>28758707How reliable has it been for you?
>>28759549I'm asking because I want to buy one
>>28758848This looks sweet>>28758830This is a good choice too, those Mercury boats. Those and 90s Cadillacs, they were like half bucket seats with the folding armrest to turn them into a bench, and you had to turn the steering wheel like 9 times to get into a parking spot, but at the same time you could use your pinky to turn the wheel because the steering was so easy.Earlier Caddies were awesome though with a long hood when the emblem still stuck up from the top of the grille. It was a joy to see that Cadillac emblem like 8 feet away from you wherever you’re going.
>>28759472Thanks mate.>>28758830>>28759695Also can confirm about the 90s Merc boats. I've got one of those too and it's almost equally as comfortable. Panther body Merc/Lincoln is one of, if not the best budget roadtrip cars. I've put 100k miles on mine and it's pretty excellent, extremely reliable, and very comfy.
>>28758707Probably a 5 ton Freightliner box truck. The 41'' tires just roll over and absorb all the little imperfections in the road. The car it's self and the drivers seat ride on air so you literally just float down the road. Second place would be my GMT800 2500 Yukon XL. It's definitely not a numb cloud like a modern vehicle but you can actually still feel the road which I like. The comfy puffy seats absorb all the little bumps unlike a modern vehicle with stupid "supportive" seats. Overall it's very unfatiguing for a HD truck and feels like a time machine ie a 3 hour drive feels like an hour.

What do you think of the W204 C63 AMG? I’m thinking of getting one since they’re getting cheaper.
Arent 211s and 212s pretty cheap now? Probably more common than 204. There was a brown anon with a white e63 that seemed pretty neat aside from being paki spec.
If you have to ask you can't afford it. good luck keeping up with all maintenance services
>>28759063>Virginia>Vanity plateMust be Hispanic.
>>28756241I used to have a 2012 C63 AMG, bought it in 2021 or so I think and had it for a couple years until this handicapped fat dyke lesbian bitch decided she needs to completely slam on her breaks because a guy wouldn't let her merge during traffic. Had those expensive ass almost $3k MBH headers on it, removed all 4 cats and straight piped it and kept the resonators and mufflers as I had done a ton of research and watched videos and determined for myself that was what I thought was the best sound. I still think it is man, definitely top 5 at least. You just don't hear that deepness with most cars.Bunch of other stuff I could go into detail but mods tune and all I'm estimating about 600+ hp as the car is 451 hp stock, the headers add about 40 hp alone, and the tune is up to 150+ because they don't even have the throttle flaps open up all the way from the factory. Same engine as the e63 but not tuned as fast when it's stock.All in all I really liked the car, my main appeal to it was I loved sleeper cars back then and up until recently was pretty difficult to find anything like that with 4 doors. Kinda glad I crashed it, forced me to move on to my new car which is a 2010 C6 corvette manual supercharged, dynod at 789 whp and vibrates like hell with the direct engine mounts and decoupled driveshaftI liked the c63 but for me the whole time I was wanting something more raw, as the mercedes is just "too" nice. For a daily driver that you can blow gas money on it's a good choice though.
>>28756818Fun fact, the front end was extended about 4 inches for the C63 trim.Another one is that the sedan actually weighs less than the coupe because of the panoramic glass roof which weighs 200+ pounds and was a huge argument between the designers or managers and the engineers about having it there.It's a 6.3 because one is yes tradition, but also that because it's a 6208cc engine, German engineering standards round that all the way up to 6300.

>>28759713I'd like it if cars had a low beam light on the dash like the high beam indicator.On a Buick Lucerne the always on dash lights dim to the selected brightness when it autos from drls to low beams but it's hard to tell.

In the era of LED everything why don't all marker and tail lights just stay on whenever the engine is running? I never got the point or DRL's but not daytime running markers and tail lights.
>>28759713you can say "drive lights," it's ok.
>>28759818Daytime running lights are not the same as driving lights.

Would a Dodge Shelby CSX-VNT stand a chance in today's market? Would it exceed expectations or just fall flat. Would it just be a niche vehicle? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelby_CSX
>>28759710Let me get this right since I've been drinking. Your asking if an 80s turbo, 5 speed shitbox*, with a super limited run, limited market, and almost no aftermarket would last right now? What?You have one of two answers. Number one is no one is going to know what the fuck you're talking about and deem you either guitarded or acoustic and complain about lack of nanny systems and government regulation, ect. Number 2 is you're going to meet the one person through sheer luck and find an actual enthusiast that will know more than youve ever forgotten and proceed to treat you like a child when you have questions. Neither of these options appeal to me as a person, no one wins. I love old boxy and obscure shit, but most people that do tend to be worse than bmw and Tesla owners. You'll never get a nice option. No it wouldnt make it. Going to go try drink myself stupid now for making me remember shit like this, thanks.Tl;dr No.
