This, might as well not use them.

It's a hunk of metal vaguely resembling an outdated sporty car.

Why the fuck WOULD anyone take it?

How would you haul it out? Leave it to the spiders.

Get the miata instead for that delicious customer loyalty discount with your MS3. Also, the Fiata looks ugly af.

Definitely the Abarth. The engine there is Pretty much the same as found in the Mito QV, but on steroids. Personally I like the look of the standard trim better, so I'd just remove the hood wrap and maybe wheels. Aftermarket is good enough. As per usual with Tony cars the electronics will probably be the first thing to go.

Why do journalists seem to always prefer the MX-5 over the 124 Abarth?

That is exactly what I'm trying to do. I'm currently renting somebody else's home while saving for my own. When I started looking at alternatives and found out how comfortable vans can be if you don't half ass building them plus all the other benefits such as living right by work or living in beautiful locations and having a great incentive to get outdoors be active and live a healthier life I felt like an idiot for ever paying rent.

I'm going to build an awesome van, save 15-20K each year in rent, have enough for a down payment for a property in the city in my late 20's then rent that property out and have someone else pretty much pay my mortgage while I'm roaming around the country in my cosy van and travelling the world for at least a month of each year. Then when I'm feeling ready to settle down sell my city property pay off the mortgage and use what remains to buy a rural property in a nice area with good schools settle down and have a couple kids and most likely be a retired landowner in my 40's probably not retired as I'll still be doing my hobbies and getting paid for it because why not?

This is a lifestyle I wish more people would consider maybe then the suicide rate would be less terrifying, screw the system and it's chains of debt live free and get out sooner.

Join me friend, well make life our adventure together.

I usually just sleep in the open bed of my truck but since I want to take my dog with me I am making an enclosed space. I want a safe spot she can rest while I go to the gym or getting groceries, etc. Otherwise we will go everywhere and do everything together, as all good boys and their dogs shall do.

2 or more hidden kill switches that cut ignition/starter circuit. Hide them well under the dash and it will be a pain to steal

Oh yeah to answer your question, you park in a garage

>In the FF you literally just control your front axle.
fix

Anyone can try this today on their FF shitbox. Try to go fast and imagine that your whole car is only the front axle, nothing more.
You'll might go faster than before.

>>17105520
do you have a single fact to back that up?
And yes FF is inferior for anything above 300 hp

Depends on the brand and complexity.

Ask my friend who drives a Renault Clio and now has 300 euros worth of broken shit on his car while the used car dealer told him he wouldn't have to worry about the next inspection. Since then the dealer was taken over by someone else and now he's fucked.

This isn't even a meme. His car had a faulty sensor straight from the start that took a lot of time and money to fix, he's lucky he didn't have to pay.

>>17105462
>polished
are you really sure, I've heards a lot of shit about Renault Energy engine.

What is preventing you to go to a mechanic and get the car checked?

>>17105240
Lack of money and the absurd sound is fun

Calculate the cost of ownership into your current budget. If your total income exceeds your outgoing expenses then that means you can afford it

I'm a 28 year old with no kids, minimal (like under $1000/month) bills, and no real chance of a relationship. I just got a job making ~$50k and after I pay off some debt, I'd like to pursue this.

If you have to ask you will never know.

Pure and Simple
Adrenalin.
Think doing 65 mph on the free way. Not really dangerous.
Doing that same 65 on a side street is like doing 100 on the freeway.
Now im not saying its a good idea or acceptable but really that is what it is. Some of us are speed junkies. It takes us a lot of will power not to bury the pedal every time we feel the urge.
