If you don't have time for a three sentence assay I will summarize what /o/ would recommend.

>FoST

Why do you talk to these people?

It's pointless if you don't own a classic/wannabe classic car anyway

you sound autistic. just ask them the model you twat

It should be very easy given the context of the situation. If you're talking about pickups, a 76 Chevy is obvious, if you're talking about cars, it's 95% of the time gonna be a Monte Carlo, Camaro, or Impala, and again it should be very obvious given whatever the context is, unless people are walking up to you from out of nowhere and starting off the conversation with "my 76 Chevy" which we all know isn't happening

...and this is one in 1963. How did cars modernize so quickly?

Wasn't Europe still on horses at that time?

Those 1930's body styles are pretty sexy.

Daewoo Tico

>>17837939
do it yourself without him faggot.

>>17837939
>I need to change it urgently.
it's really not that big of a deal

you can just go to a mechanic and tell them the oil and oil filter are in the passenger seat and they'll use it

>>17837939
God damn OP you are retarded

all you need is a ratchet, ratchet heads for the oil drain and oil filter, a catchpan, funnel, oil and a new filter, and you're golden. catchpan goes underneath, undo oil drainage. When it's gone you take out the filter, redo o-seals provided with the filter. After that you put oil plug back in and fill your damn engine with however much it needs. turn it on and let it sit for 10 minutes and check oil levels. Add if you need to.

If you fail at this then you should seriously just sell your car and buy a good pair of shoes. even a bike might be too complicated for you.

>he bought a v8 with less power than a s 2.3l i4

Nothing wrong with an ecoboost engine

>I accidentally left my bike in a state it was built to be in
>How fucked am I?

Are you actually retarded?

>>17838038
He's a biker, what'd you expect

>>17837870
Other then maybe a dead battery depending on what rpm your battery charges at, why would you be fucked in the least? Idle is like the least harmful state a motor can run at

>>17837796
And?

>>17837813
Nobody wants a v6 turbo, fwd based "luxury" car

A Honda Civic

Mustang GT is normie fast cheap and common

Speed is a meme.

They are less expensive for a reason.

My girlfriends uncle has gone through 3 on the past 2 years. First one was replaced because it was a lemon, after being in the shop so often he got pissed and they replaced it. He then replaced that one with their new eco diesel or whatever it's called, and that's already been in the shop 3 or 4 times.

The biggest problem my brother-in-laws had with theirs was that they had to reset the transmission computer or something periodically, and both got new transmissions anyways and never had a problem afterwards. Now one has a '15 or '14 and it's been fine so far. The other brother-in-law recently traded his '10 in for a family vehicle but it was still running strong at almost 200k mi.
I wouldn't bother with anything before the 4th gen (unless it was an 80s one cuz muh hood ornament).

>>17837513
just get a 1st gen cummins with a 5 speed it won't break

>should I cop
No, you should just kys, underage faggot. Summers over, go do your homework.

they run about that much now
paint looks wet in the picture

its cool to have one but only if you have the $$ to maintain it

>autotragic

This is normal. There is always electronic interference whenever I simultaneously charge my phone and have aux plugged in.

>>17837425
Yup my last car had it increasing with rpms. It's either the alternator causing electro magnetic feedback or the transmission. Problem went away with my new cars Bluetooth connection.

>>17837425
stop listening to animal collective

Import one from Japan.
They're usually really mint if you use that big japan export company that gets thrown around here quite often.
Couple weeks ago I saw a really nice one for around 6000 all inclusive.

The only problem for you is that you can only drive a 1993 one in 2018.
Also, you said you're not sorry about the 10k but still, be aware that this car is absolute minimum spec transportation and you will need to maintain it like every other car but parts will probably not cheap over in the states with all the importing of literally everything.

This one for example BUT don't get the "easy".

It's a half autotragic and you want a manual. The autotragic ones full or half are complete and utter SHIT.

>>17837415
The engine in older Twingos is from the same family as that of the old Renault 5, which the US did get as the Le Car. The 1.4 turbo is a direct bolt-in swap for this reason.

Neither if you're trying retrofit them into reflector housings instead of projector housings.

as long as they're in the correct housings either is fine, though I personally prefer HID

I have the very first bi-xenon headlights ever fitted to a mass produced vehicle (C215 Mercedes CL) and they are very good. No experience with LEDs but I guess with all that newfangled technology both xenon and LED are even better than what I have.
>>17837402
Is sorta right - there are reflector xenons (Volvo had some, the W220 pre-facelift did too) but I'm guessing the reflectors are different from halogen-spec ones. Get OEM headlights only, retrofit kits a shit.
