The US with omnipresent Mustangs, cheap fuel and cars is a pretty obvious choice for the best. Germany where you can buy like 10 Boxsters for yearly wage and go on Nurburgring or an Autobahn is a bit less obvious but also good candidate for the best as long as it doesn't ban ice cars. Monaco lots of has Bentleys and Ferraris but it's not a real country.The worst is probably some shithole like North Korea.But another interesting thing is how it feels to be a bike guy in a country like DR Congo where there's no winter and cars can't smash you cause very few can afford them so they're less common than bikes?

>>28851238There's a reason Germans get rid of those leased cars when they reach 100k.

Russia, especially before the import duty tax cucked everyone.Cheap gas, affordable jap imports, police doesn't give a shit about speeding/mods, babby's first drift attempts circa 2005. Back then the roads were mostly non-existent outside of the two capitals, but neither did salaries. I mean you were lucky to make $500 a month unless you lives in one of the major cities.Nowadays it's mostly drug-trafficking churkas and nepobabies drag racing with one another off every stoplight, so it doesn't apply I guess.
>>28851235>t. knows nothing about GermanyThe gestapo will literally rape your ass over any of the following and much more>non TUV approved wheels (even if the wheels are from a republe brand like RAYS)>different sized tires than factory (e.g. 235 instead of 225 is HECKING ILLEGAL)>non stock suspension >non TUV approved brake padsGermany is a fucking hellscape for car guys. The ONLY good thing there is the unlimited sections of Autobahn.
Israel.>113% import tax, 130% if the car is above 300k ILS (Around 100k USD) and the price includes shipping and other shitty taxes so it's a guarantee that a 60k USD car will become a 150k USD car even before the import tax.>gas prices are around the 2.5 USD per liter> can't modify your car, If you are caught your car will be impounded and destroyed> insurance prices are high and rising even for shitboxes>market infested with over-priced chink mobiles > exclusive importers, so no competing dealerships, some importers own multiple brands> said importers also control the spare parts market and the mechanic shops> yearly inspection that will screw you over even if the car is fine, costs around 1k USD every year> two inspections per year if your car is above 15 years old, also brake test that will screw you so you will pay moreIsrael is truly a kike's dream, the government takes your money and gives you nothing. I wish I was American just for the cars and the amazing prices.
>>28851235Best is USA. Worst is Antarctica.
>>28851440>Worst is Antarctica.Why is it the worst?No cops, no speed cameras, no traffic jams, no pedestrians, no intersections, no red lights.
>>28851235I know for a fact that Brazil is the worst place to both own and maintain a car, despite you being forced to own one as public transport sucks massive ass and it's not as developed as the roads here. Tax makes for 40% of a car's price meaning that one pays premium for the shittiest, basic 1.0L shitbox ever with no space for your family or friends, not to mention that you have to pay up for owning a car and pay to maintain your license. Brazilians maintain their cars like shit so even if you plan to buy used, you're going to get scammed somehow.
>>28851253what happens when you have a little more than 6 million people packed into an area not even half the length of Long Island between its longest/widest points. And Long Island itself is home to around 8 million people.
>>28851480how's the classic market over there? are there people that drive theirs daily or at least on the weekends? south america had some interesting cars in the 60s and 70s.
>>28851488Pretty alive I'd say. There's a love shared between old people and gen Zers over the classics and some nationals even have earned cult status (like the Opala and the Gol), which in turn just made these even more expensive. Good thing is, if you ever buy one of said classics, there's no way you're never finding parts for them as we have many companies dedicated solely for making these parts brand new. People actually use those as daily drivers here.As for old imports, yeah, they're pretty much junk now. Especially if they're old citroens.
USA.Some places don't have rust. Cars are cheap to buy and register, significantly cheaper than other places. No inspections at all in many states. Higher displacement versions of int'l cars are our base versions. There are open fun roads out there, if you're willing to leave the suburban sprawl - it's a big country.We also don't have speed cameras or tolls except in limited places.
>>28851491>as we have many companies dedicated solely for making these parts brand newwish we had that here in aus. i mean we kinda do, but we have a little over one-tenth of your population count in roughly a 10% smaller size of land so the demand isn't as strong and generally shops will happily charge out the ass for keeping stuff like the old XY ford falcons running since the owners are usually filthy fucking rich and are more than happy to pay for one-off custom parts etc.>>28851493don't forget>in almost every state, highway speed limits are merely speed advisory signs, everyone usually does 15-20 over, even the cops>24 hour parts stores>free tool rental>some of the cheapest fuel in the world
>>28851499>in almost every state, highway speed limits are merely speed advisory signs, everyone usually does 15-20 over, even the copsYes. I've only seen people drive near the limit in Virginia or up there by Rhode Island and Connecticut.15 over is very normal here, including for cops just cruising.And yep, gas is $2.60 / gal.And the govt won't crush your car for racing or doing stunts.

>>28851422>isreal jews their own jewsI'm genuinely speechless
>>28851565They all do that to themselves for some reason
>>28851235Come to Australia and drive on the most over-regulated roads in the world where you get the death penalty for driving 5 km/h over a speed limit that's 30 km/h too slow.
>>28851462because my heckin' SLAMMED and STANCED "bippu" (vip) car can't cope with the snow!!!
>>28851590the weird thing is that up till recently our emissions regs were surprisingly lax in contrast with how much regulation we have for everything else.
>>28851590Not only that but you're not allowed to modify your vehicles. Best of all you got all that space but you're forced to drive Euro vehicles.
>>2885123> balkansYou literally can't have shit here> used car market is 50% french shitboxes 30% mid to late 00s golfs and passats 10% e46s and e90s 10% everything else> 0 unmolested bmws with more than 1.8L displacement> everything is diesel, if it's not disel it has to have the cheapest and shittiest lpg conversion kit installed> jap cars? we don't do that here> wanna import? sorry, but you're poor
>>28851422Israel charges a $150 "leaving the country" tax to tourists.Im not even kidding.You have to pay to leave.
>>28851896Unironically how did Aussies let themselves turn into a police state? I mean I know they started as a prison island but still.
>>28851565iirc there's a subsect of jews within israel that even other jews hate because they're that jewish. they're the jew's jew. i think they were also hardliners against hamas/palestine, they wanted the war to continue until every single person on the opposing side was dead.
>>28851896>>28852002you are allowed to modify your vehicles, but it depends on the mod and the jurisdiction. in most states, a big job like swapping in a bigger engine, or a diff swap, or converting from fwd to rwd etc. would need an engineer's certificate which basically certifies that the vehicle is still safe to operate on public roads.there's exceptions, like if you swap an engine with similar displacement, or if you do a manual swap with factory or ADR (aussie version of FMVSS) compliant that are critical, such as the gearbox crossmember or driveshaft etc. changing just the pedals for example nobody gives a shit about, but then there's shit like an exposed air filter in nsw that will get you a defect notice that you have to clear if you don't want the cops pulling you over and fining the shit out of you for driving a defected car. the exposed filter is presumably because of boomers that seethe about the induction noise since they actually suck at filtering air and the only other reason you'd probably ever want one is if you had a turboed track-only car or something like that and needed it to inhale all the air it could without eating some nasty shit that'd fuck the engine up quick.basically, it's a lot of paperwork to make extra sure that adults are making adult decisions, totally not treating them like children at all.

>>28851235didn't Norway ban ICE cars?finding a straight answer is difficult because it turns out no one cares about Norway.
>>28851902i don't think the balkans compare to china although it's starting to change>cars older than 15 years MUST be scrapped, no exceptions>cities/provinces have their own version of the EU's emissions laws (euro 1, 2, 3 etc.) and if these change (again, per city/province basis) then you're no longer allowed to drive your car in that region>>your five year old rav4 that's still working perfectly fine is now no longer able to take you to work so you have to buy something newer simply because it only met CHINA 4 standards and Beijing now requires CHINA 5 standards at a minimum within the city
>>28853306oh and as with many things, the further away from the cities you go, the better/more lenient people tend to be.apparently there's a guy in rural huzhou that drives an 80s pontiac trans am
