why does only one ring light up

sometimes i see cars with both rings on and sometimes i see cars with only one on each side

what gives, dont know shit about vw

>VAG
trash

Why do normal Golfs have a 2.5 but the expensive GTI has a tiny 2l? Why not turbo the 2.5?

I bought my pickup without realising that it didn't have ABS

I quickly learned that I actually prefer not having it

no and no

Depends on the situation. In stop-and-go city traffic it is certainly nice.

>>17099841
Yep because I'm a real person who doesn't have the money or time to have an extra car worth getting in a manual to only drive on weekends when there's no traffic.

Automatics are faster, at least as reliable on average, cheaper to maintain, and less retarded to drive in any real world conditions.

NSX Type S / LHD / Imola Orange Pearl

Depends on which GT-R. If it's the R32 or 34, then that one.

If not, then without a doubt the RX-7.

NSX is the most unobtanium, so probably that one. Everything else you can buy lower-tier versions and upgrade

>tfw none of my friends drive the same cars as each other

Feels good man

Maybe he admires you.

Or he finna fuck.

Fuck him.

Yeah do it.

I´ve never painted a whole car with rattle cans, but I´ve done two cars with a roller(no overspray, yay). Go all out on prep. I can´t over emphasize it.

Some dudes from youtube paint a Skoda with a roller.

It's going to look worse. Just put a brush guard on it and pretend you're in mad max.

Fuck using junkyard used parts to "upgrade" brakes. Took fucking forever to have to spare cash, but finally.

Install was 4/10 in terms of difficulty, nice and easy. Only pain in the ass was bolting together the 2-piece rotor, have to use red loc tight and safety wire the bolts together. This took at least 3 hours to do for the pair.

It decided to rain for 2 days straight in most of America, had to cover the work and hope the rotors don't start rusting since I removed the protective oil their shipped in.

>Is this a good first car?
If you like riding the bus often

>>17097273
No, at that high of miles, the apex seals are worn down, and you'll have to spend up to 10K to fix it. The apex seals last for 80,000 miles, so even if they've been replaced before, they're about to go out again, or they're already gone. Plus they get shit gas mileage, and they have other serious issues. Oh, and you can't turn off the engine while its cold or you'll flood your engine.

They're good cars if rotarys are your thing.

>good first car
No

>>17096521
That is because you sat in a low end lincoln niggermobile.....


Go sit in a Lexus LS, Jaguar, or a Mercedes S class and get back to me on if you notice any differences.....

Better yet, go sit in a modern Rolls or Bentley. Literally nothing else will do after that.

>>17096521

>>Lexus cars are the same as Toyota

This is how we can tell that you don't actually know anything about cars.

I've only driven shitboxes and my Focus feels really nice.

Its time to stop op.

AM I BEING DETAINED?

I AM A TRAVELLING SOVERIGN CITIZEN. I AM OPERATING MY AUTOMOBILE AND AM ON MY WAY TO COMPLETE MY PRIVATE AFFAIRS. YOU DO NOT SMELL MARIJUANAS. AM I FREE TO GO?

>>17092321
only the friendless autists

I went to one, but did a 360 and drove away when I saw how gay all the people looked. It was miatas, so I get it, but I didn't think it'd be that bad.

wish I had snapped a pic though

>>17092321
I do. Trying to get one going in my own town. The car meets here are gay as fuck. Everyone just stands around. Or does burnouts and ruins it. If you actually find someone who wants to drive with you, it's just pulls on the highway access road. I've found some cool people but they're few and far between. I've been to the Nightwave meets and they're actually pretty fun because we actually go drive and there isn't a bunch of retards with superiority complexes trying to have the biggest dick. Autists maybe but at least they actually like cars

>>17082544
Nah. I usually just drive past and laugh.

Why risk getting stabbed or shot?

>>17082544
Only in parking lots

Not gonna stop while on the road just cause some faggot is stuck there

>>17082544
Someone faps to this, don't they.

People who don't use turn signals and suddenly brake and turn on a dime

Women in SUVs, dudes in black lifted pickup trucks, and niggers in nigger mobiles who ride your bumper on steep hills when you are driving manual

People who don't drive fast enough to create space for other cars to pass

People who drive fast and reckless when they have absolutely nowhere to go

>driver in front going 40mph
>brakes before going was could be considered a corner
>meanwhile I easily go through that corner going 70+mph

I fucking hate people who cant handle a corner, its not like my car is extremely nimble, far from it
