I'm getting real sick of this shit. I need to discourage driving on my lawn but the city says I can't build a fence because they want a "vision triangle." It's kind of a rough neighborhood. Any suggestions?
>>28613506He wants you to stroke it
>>28613506if you pull the red rod all sorrows disappear
>>28604044Could he not just construct a normal height curb? No one wants to clip a curb but obviously with his lawn at road level it will get clipped.
>>28613594That probably was a normal height curb that's been made shorter by the city overlaying the road with additional layers of asphalt. It's a cheaper road repair than re-building the road.
>>28613506non-shitpost answer it is a roll of electrical wire used to connect the firing circuit of the mine to all kinds of loony toons creations like webm related.
Is it possible to overdesign a car to such comical degrees in ends up being kind of cool in a based retard way?
For me, its the Furai. All the little surface lines on each panel, grills, and basically scribble lines of headlights and tail lights are just a little too busy, but I know its probably for wind tunnel purposes. The lights look neat but completely impractical and silly.
>>28613160Was this car named by a guy from Birmingham?
>>28609022
>>28609022Imagine the mess that would make of a pedestrian
>>28613397I've never talked to anyone from Alabama named "Furai".
Any questions?
>>28606633They were all stolen and totaled by urban youths
>>28606856I like how the facelift Elantra N looks honestly. Only things I would change is switch the rice-lite spoiler with a duckbill, and get rid of the geometry on the doors
>>28605501>Riced out Elantra NFor a minute I thought you shills lost your funding.How is your trash peddling business going?
>>28607353yes

Can we get the real BMW i8? Tom Cruise edition?
>>28613071I bet you could get some custom place to make you the glass doors, chinks make custom order CNC wheels, and engine mounts match Mini mounts so you can swap one of the bigger engines from there too. It'll be expensive, of course.
inline 8s are really imbalanced, anon
>>28613654I don't think so
wah
>>28607898Geo metro, nigga
What do you mean by "value," OP?A car you can still DD for cheap?A car you can use as an investment and sell for 2x in 10 years?A car you can restore and race?Are car that you personally enjoy?
>>28612599I'd like one as a daily driver if that's not impractical, yeah. Something that will last another 10 years and not need so much maintenance that I would've been better off buying a car from 2020+.
>>28611454>Wouldn't a used police crown vic be beat to shit by this point?Generally yes; but it depends. You can still find good ones.Buying a Lincoln Town Car or a Mercury Grand Marquis that was owned by an old man or woman is generally a better idea. They tend to be well maintained and lightly used. I got mine from a little old man who used to own a gas station and he took really nice care of it.
>>28613647I love my Town Car. Super comfy, V8 is satisfying, RWD with a really nice suspension that soaks up all the bumps in the road. Seats 6 and has a giant trunk. Only real downside is that I only get about 18 MPG city and around 25 MPG highway. Parts are cheap and abundant and its very easy to work on car so repairs are cheap since there's less labor involved.If you want shear efficiency and reliability I'd go for a 00 to 07 Toyota Camry, Avalon, Matrix or Corolla. You'll get better MPGs from a FWD 4 cylinder; but it won't be quite as much fun or comfy as my V8. Those are all real reliable and parts are still widely available.

>>28613394It's fast at higher speeds (S650 GTs can keep up with base C8s in freeway pulls), but it's so weak on the low-end it's pathetic.Makes me look like an attention-whore boiracer, the Amerkan musshole version of a Ricer, just because I have to rev it so hard to take off from a stop sign, while inching along like a snail, behind a basic bitch turbocharged CUV that takes off quicker with more low-end grunt.
>>28613465I didn't realize they had such abysmal low end torque. I've had a few try to cut around parked cars on some of the one ways in my city, but unless they get the jump on me, I can actually accelerate enough to keep them from passing. it was really weird the first time I did it and actually boxed out a fucking mustang in my commuter sedan
>>28606655If shitting my pants helps keep the homo that's driving it from buggering my butthole, I'm all for it.
>>28613517I actually believe the weak low-end torque is part of why they crash into crowds, because it makes it less predictable when the tires will break loose, since you have to rev up so high, and once you do lose traction, you're spinning so fast it's harder to accurately regain control.Pic related: accidental off-roading down a freeway embankment in a Mussy Wussy
how hard is to change the healights from picrel halogen ones to normal with led daytim running ones? previous owner of my alfa giulia did not opt for better/nicer headlamps...
>>28613137Oh damn didn't realize these exist. Get the new set with DRLs, then plug them in normally and use multiecuscan to enable the market programming you want (probably Europe but idk)
>>28612843My current car has aftermarket headlights (from previous owner) and it's pretty high up on the priority list to revert that, because they SUCK.Do your research or suffer bad light.
>>28613137 I've never actually seen that before kek
>>28612843You'll probably have better luck on giuliaforums. Ask alfissimo or someone knowledgeable
>>28612843for the alfa specifically I've looked into this and apparently it's a pain, because you need computer modules for headlights now...That said, these spics have documented all the common mods you'd want to do to your poverty spec giulia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppCj8auWfRI

>>28610514Aren't cubans something like model minority in Florida? Business owners and so?Anyway, most second/third world countries are low trust societies, so most seem their own as untrustworthy. Also, latinos distrust/hate other latinos that aren't from the same country of origin (which Americans don't understand and just lump them all together in one group).

>>28610976Oh shit, anon deliversOkay, we'll figure out something, I have a delivery in Carthage and today im in Little Rock AR. Best way to get ahold of me is text, three tw0 1 2 two thr33 zer0 7 0 z3ro text me your name and where I found you and we'll set something up. If you're a few hours from Springfield there is a very good chance I can meet up on my way to somewhere else. I pick up tomorrow morning in Conway AR.Those are definitely Gen 2 Forest Green lights, probably off a 95-97. I can always use those, you're a gentleman and a scholar. There's a fairly good chance those might end up doing 200mph at some point in their lives.>>28611510Automated car wash? Probe had an automatic antenna that comes up if you turn on the radio, and the windows don't have door sills so they leaked like a bitch even when they were new cars. Both of mine leak in the rain on the tops of the door windows. None of those features were exclusive to that car so I don't know, but I'll post it on our Probe facebook page and see if anyone knows, I'm curious now too.

>>28597418Highway 1 (trans-Canada) from Hope to Kamloops is pretty cool. The route follows the Fraser most of the way. Highway 3 (Crowsnest) from Hope to Osoyoos is also pretty neat with lots of tight twisties. the 99 Sea to Sky is so overrated tbqhwyNo other cool places in southwestern BC to drive, sadly :(
