I have a 99 maxima, not my primary vehicle but I use it for errands and my job. It is really rusty along the rockers, rear quarter/wheel wells and lower front fenders. Even one of the points where the driver seat is bolted to the floor is pretty rusty. Otherwise the car runs fine, A/C and power everything works.
Ever since I got this car I noticed a lot of 90's nissans on the road that are affected by similar rust patterns, even some of the maximas post-A32 generation around here are pretty rusty, again moreso than other makes.
Is this common? Post your experiences with rusty nissans or rust in general. I know early 2000's Altimas had issues with rusty floorpans.
Pic related, its my car.
Forgot to add that while body rust is to be expected on most cars from this time, I see it much more on Nissans than others, especially Maximas and Sentras

protip: wash the salt off your car, rust belt dweller
>I see a lot of other rusty nissans
because they're too lazy to wash the salt off their vehicle like you
From what I have seen all Japanese cars from the 90s and earlier rust anywhere where it snows and has roadsalts, with Lexus being the exception. The only thing you can do is get new rockers and rustproof your shit. That is if its worth repairing.
Protip: rustproofing means actual wax shit like Krown, Tectyl, old engine oil or anything else like that, not bedliner, or that bitumen shit that does nothing to actually stop rust.
What is this button behind wheel on Subaru impreza 1999 ?

i have a question
when did car mods become a thing?
say what year exactly and to what extent could you have modified a car back in the day?
Lets say the year is 1999, and you just bought a 1994 Supra, at the time what could you have done to improve the car?
if the answer is there wasnt much you can do back then, my second question is why? manufacturing performance parts should have been a huge deal back then since the economy was still huge
lets fast forward to 2001 when the first fast and the furious came out, the director himself said that those cars were maxed out at the time
now fast forward 2 years later to when 2 fast 2 furious came out, how come everything changed so drastically in such a short amount of time
>>17184974
People modified Model Ts when they were new.
>>17184980
Catch me on the touge, my Model A will smoke you.

Any car I don't like.
At the end of the day, was there really any point to this car being in Initial D? Dagumi never used it in any race and though it was meant as a learning tool, nothing he learned was ever demonstrated or applied.
it looks dope bra
>ending felt rushed as fuck
I'm pretty sure they'd focus more on the impreza down the road, but then they changed their minds and decided to end it all with the 86 autists showdown.
It was basically the pic related of initial d
>>17184864
It was shown simply so that it could enforce the WRX godmachine meme.
I've got two options
https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/ctd/6124649743.html
$3,000
ot this
https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/rds/cto/6124506190.html
also $3,000 but In Canadian. with the current exchange rate it's $2100ish US. also it's in a weird color that I don't like as much but it's got less miles
what would you pick?
>>17184772
Where do you live? Do you really want to cross the border to get a 2002 Ford Focus?
>>17184772
My neighbors got one that has like 60k miles shes selling. Its auto though. Im in bellevue
>>17184784
the one on Canada is actually closer to me than Everett. I live right on the border. and it's not just a regular focus, I'm looking for an svt. I am having trouble finding many of them
>>17184788
>auto though
I'm looking for my first manual.
Also, does anyone have a reason why I shouldn't get a Focus svt? I'm on a budget and want a fun semi speedy car
Im looking for a comfy SUV with enough space for my good boy. On the other hand, I really like cars, so it has to be somewhat good looking as well.
I really dont like station wagons, so this is no option for me.
Currently really in love with the BMW X5 E70, which starts at 20k with decent mileage. Any other suggestions? I really have a hard time deciding.
this would be my pick.

Is Toyota, dare I say, the most GOD-tier car brand in the world?
>inb4 ball joint failures, frame rust, and floormat recalls that's been long resolved
>>17184333
For the most part, yeah Toyota is pretty legendary. They peaked in the 80's IMO. Call me a boring SOB but I've only ever owned Toyotas. I ain't got time for unreliable Ameritrash.
>>17184356
I agree. Funny thing is, most of America's cars aren't even American made.
Pathetic!

I really do love the AE86, I'm a big Toyota fan boy and view the hachi-roku as one of the ultimate cars, but the anime association with it turns me off it so much that I wouldn't want to be caught driving one in public. I wish Initial D didn't exist.
>>17184041
Too bad 4chan's anime association doesn't turn you off from posting here.

Go fuck yourself Lincoln shill. You have no understanding of this board and you're just embarrassing yourself.

Local Ford and Lincoln dealer share the same body shop as they are right next to each other.

I've been dealing with white trash like this for a long time, but why is it that people who drive vehicles like this are among the worst of faggots
>>17183744
Because they're largely rural simpletons with a mediocre education, too much time, and too much testosterone.
>>17183744
It's because retards in big trucks think they own the road because they bigger than everyone else
>>17183764
I guarantee they wouldn't have the balls to try that shit in anything smaller
How much would insurance on this semon demon be? 22 yo ~3 speeding tickets. Only want liability
>>17183518
>22 yo ~3 speeding tickets
a literal box with wheels attached is gonna be expensive to insure thanks to you being a dummy and making bad decisions.
lmao did you actually end up getting that thing from your friend?
probably not much considering its just a truck.

Nice beaner mobile, nah, you just couldn't save up and by a regular single cab truck eh?
