Do you pay parks to go offroading or do you freeball it?

Anyone from the CA central valley area around? I haven't been up to Strawberry Lake in years but want to head up there in a month or two, wondering how that area is these days.

Why are co workers calling me retarded for driving the speed limit with "a car like that"? Are they just jelly?

Will getting an AW11 satisfy the craving I have for a fast, fun, lightweight, and reliable shitbox?

Is there anything an SW20 can do that an AW11 can't? I can actually find SW20s cheaper than an AW11.

All that over a venza?

lock the doors

They're fun, but slow. Great to learn to wrench on, and a good entry-level classic

Very cute.

They're turds with either the iron truck engine 4 cylinder or dogshit even heavier iron MGC inline 6. If you can, either swap something good into it like an SR20 or get an MGB GT V8, which has the aluminum block 3.5L Rover V8.

It's much more efficient to blow massive amounts of outdoor temperature air over a huge radiator.

>>17833890
okay why not just make the cooling system's radiator bigger?

>>17833873
Because the cooling system is already absorbing all the engine heat. With a separate loop you get much cooler temps.

Any tips on getting into being a car salesman? My calculus professor was talking about his brother has made over 100k/year since he was 19 by selling cars. I think I'm pretty good at manipulating people.

A dealership sold me a used lemon with a third party warranty attached.

Neither the dealer or third party warranty company were going to pay for the replacement engine and they were just going to let the car sit in the back of their parking lot until it got repo'd. This all changed however when I hired an attorney and he left one single voicemail to the dealer. As of right now, my engine in the piece of shit they sold me is being replaced.

Why were they so scared of an attorney? All I want is the fucking car I bought to run, and the $3,000 warranty I paid for, to actually happen but those pricks thought I was just going to let them get by and me do nothing after selling me a broken car.

Live in a white neighborhood.

Drive something people don't want to steal, obviously. Just remember that cheap shitboxes are some of the most stolen vehicles because it's easy to move the parts for them.

Best one he ever had (RIP) was a 93' ford escort, shitbox trim. You had to turn on the headlights to start the engine.

What did he mean by this?

i don't know what that analogy means

but it's truly pathetic when poorfag companies like GM try to emulate Audi/BMW/Mercedes

>OOOH LOOK IT'S GOT AUDI LIGHTS

Seriously, what did he mean by this?

Just put JB Weld over some tinfoil if you don't mind Micky Mousing it

>>17833365
I asked a mech to weld it for a cheap fix and he said he didnt feel confident doing it. The crack's in a p awkward spot

>>17833358
It's extremely important. You'll burn and die.

See you on the bus faggot

Pretty sure the Papercraft and Origami board is the only one that actually participates in the focus of the board's content. Everyone else is just shitposting and memes.

Yes you're exactly right

Firstly, you shouldn't be considering making your daily driver a show car, thatch just too much of a hassle to keep up with and you'll most likely sink more money into upkeep alone than you can keep track of.

That being said, a daily driver can be modified within reasonable standards, just don't add any exorbitant performance parts that could compromise the engine later on, ESPECIALLY if your daily is the only car you own.

>>17832758

>How do you personalize a car?

YOU don't. People who actually know what they want to change in their car and why, DO.

DON'T risk fucking up your daily unless you fancy riding the bus. DO buy a cheap shitpile that barely runs and fix it into something respectable. Then you'll start to know what you might change out and why.

>>17832758
I think cleaning and waxing is good enough for a shitbox (for an absolute minimal thing to do). If people took care of their paint a lot of regular cars I see would easily look 30% better
