I'm not too familiar with the topic
Start off with a small engine of an old car that's atleast 30-40 years old.
I would go for a Golf I since there are still plenty of spare parts available.
>>
>>17073990
Probably go with a volkswagen or bmw of some type

Not sure what the yuro market is like

What cunt is it?

You should go get a small engine from Horror freight for $70, and build a go kart around it

I'm thinking really hard about quitting riding after about 7 years of riding. In my experience I found that, although motorcycles are fun, there are way too many negatives. They have no protection from elements or the environment and cars. Are uncomfortable for long distance riding if your on a roadster like I am. And the biggest flaw is they are too dangerous due to unforseen dangers out of your control. I've had my fun but I'm seriously just thinking about saving the money and pain and putting it into my car. What are your thoughts /o/?

I love dirt bikes and don't plan on giving those up, but I quit riding street for the exact reasons you mentioned, plus the fact that there are just so few situations where I got to ride the bike as it was meant to, and actually got to have fun. My step father died after injuries from a motorcycle accident (his fault) and I sold my R6 shortly afterwards.
I went through a period after a few years where I really wanted a street bike again and ended up giving in. I barely rode the damn thing and wish I had saved myself the money and the hassle of having to sell it after I barely rode it over 2 years,
I love motorcycles, but street riding just isn't for me.
>>
>>17073960
I'd suggest to keep the bike. I don't ride that much anymore as I did in the past. But the insurance and maintenance cost are just too damn slow to the consider selling the bike.
>>
Quit bikes.

If you are even having these thoughts, quit bikes. I thought I was ready to quit bikes and was bikeless for about 18months. I realized I was wrong. If you are wrong you will realize it too.

If you got no one to ride with, its a lot harder to give a shit though.

Why are 10% of threads on /o/ Ford shill threads lately?

Some of them aren't even high quality. I think Ford marketing is trying to make them look organic by having some semi quality arguments mixed with shit quality arguments.

shilling, shitposting, shit quality in general is part of the board culture; if you mention it you might risk getting banned.

Greetings.
Oh, dear mighty dwellers of /o/, help me choose a car, since I am tired of sleepless nights of endless internet browsing and searching.

I need a good looking car, acceleration around 8sec to 100km/h is a must have, comfortable seats,enough space for 186cm me and a good music sound is all I need.

Budget: 13,000 - 15,000 $
I live in Russia so I guess that matters in terms of what car parts are easy to get and what not etc.

Please, /o/, share your wisdom with me.

Beautiful M3 e46 picrelated for bimmerhaters.

As an American my overall favorite car on earth is the Cadillac Seville STS. 300hp V8, massive amounts of luxury and relatively cheap used market. Not sure if they're crazy to import there though. They lose a ton of value after 5-10 years so the used market is dirt cheap considering the original sticker price.

What type of car is the least likely to get "randomly" pulled over for "routine stops"?

Surely there must be a bias.
Just like pink cars are much less likely to get stolen.

no if you buy the right car that does what you want and can be upgraded to do what you want but compete at higher level.

Hey /o/ I have a few questions.

I skidded in the rain the other day and hit a car in a intersection. Technically it was my fault and I don't have full coverage and only liability.

It was my first accident and I was wondering what am I suppose to do now? All the collision shops are closed today. Do I just have a tow truck take the car to a collision center and have them take estimates? It's currently undrivable.

>>17072677
Yes, that is exactly what you do. Hopefully you know of a good place already to get work done, since its shitty to have to shop around when your car is already fucked.
>>
>>17072677
Yup, take a day off to get over the emotional response and then ideally get 2 or 3 estimates. If you can't move it without a tow truck then that will be expensive. But if your first estimate is really expensive (if you can't tow it somewhere else then they don't have any competition) then it's probably worth some extra dollerydoos to get a second opinion (if they see you're willing to pay to have it towed elsewhere they're more likely to try to give you a good deal to snag you as a customer.)

If you have decent shops around they might take pity on you and try to give you sound advice.
>>
>>17072677
Post pics.

You might just tow it to the junk yard and buy a new car.

Been wanting to get a new car for years but I know the second I get a new car Nissan will put it into production.

that will literally never go into production and if it does there's a 100% chance it'll have a shitty CVT transmission
give up hope now of nissan ever being good again.
That being said if it does come out I'm buying one

this. I'll be the first guy in line getting one.

No way it will look like OP due to pillar strength regulations, sorry.

Lets settle this once and for all. How many people here actually like Alfa?
There's tons of topics but all of them feel as if they were made by same two people.

I think most people find them fairly normal if not outright good (FCA reliability being the major issue ofc). What's causing the hate is the relentless childish shitposting by a group of local terminal autismos. It's mostly mjet, some austrian poorfaggot with a half-dead 159 and a bunch of busriding teenagers.
>>
I've never actually driven a modern one, because I'm American and we've only just started getting them again after 30 years.

I fucking love the classic ones, and plan on eventually owning a '60s-'70s GTV someday, as long as they don't skyrocket out of my price range.
>>
never drove one but i still like them.

i have a soft spot for small-ish brands though. seeing alfa and lancia, though part of FCA now, still makes me smile. same with, say, mitsubishi. i still mourn for saab and rover.
