What faired bikes have easy to remove fairings? I love my half faired bikes but touring in the cold and wet is fucking shit.
Only problem is all the faired bikes I've worked on had really involved and stressful procedures for accessing regular things like valve covers and carburettor nipples.

This is what happens when you make a new thread and fail to announce it in the old thread.

Prove to me that Plastidip isn't the superior way to change the color of your car
>Fully removable
>No damage
>Budget friendly
>Can experiment with designs
>Protects original paint
>No sanding or scuffing
Hint: You can't
Inb4 it looks shitty, don't let a fucking stoner do a rattle can job on your shitbox Versa
are you saying the plastidip at homedepot right now is perfect for a new paint job on my car?
>>16987204
OP is yes
And it does look like ass up close. Across the street is looks decent, sure. But it will never compare to a real paint job
Matte is shit on most cars, wrapping is the way to go.

Nice Mazda 6 you got there, shame that the Italian body kit will fail you.

OUT OF THE WAY MIATA SHITS
>>16986551
>comparing BMW to Mazda
1/10 thread
waaaaay too fucking lard to be a miata. Toyota has a fetish for BBC (Big Beautiful Cars) and they wouldn't have chose it as the platform for the upcoming Supra if it weren't packing a decent amount of pounds.
My projection is the weight of a V6 Camaro but i could be wrong.
Pic related was the last BMW Miata.
>>16986563
Would you prefer a Fiat rebadged Miata? Because those are pretty much your only new roadster options from a large manufacturer right now.
>tfw stalled 3 times at the same red light and missed it
>people honking their horns and looking at me angrily
>they don't know that just makes me more nervous
>tfw they don't give slack to a beginner
I've been practicing on side roads since Friday a few hours a day. Thought I'd give it a try and go on busy streets only to cruise pretty smoothly until I get to a red light with cars piling up behind me and making me nervous.
Fellow an/o/ns learning standard, post your feels.

If you were to die today, Who would get your car?
What would happen to it?
One day someone could be smoking in my car
Isn't that an unsettling feeling?

My father. The guy is a VW fanboy and the girl doesn't drive stick. My father is the only other choice.
My body will be put on the roof of my car, and the car will be set ablaze.
I will be buried alongside my car
>want comfy lifted wagon
>already have truck
Oh well. Guess ill just dream
They seem nice until you hit a little divot or rock at just the wrong angle at slightly too fast/ too slow and you bust a control arm or spindle or shock or spring because it was meant for perfectly paved smooth tarmac.
Trust me, I would like one. But do not go thinking you can actually overland in a Subaru wagon cause it has ground clearance and AWD.
Good idea though. Have fun getting stranded 25 miles from the nearest public road.
Why were these lifted?
Yo my dude
should I buy a mk 2 volkswagen cabriolet as a first car/ i am a veryvery very very young guy
Thanks!
PS: do they make hard tops for this and how expensive is it
>>16984086

>>16984110
is it that unreliable? like this one is p mint my guy so i hopin i lucked out and itll be perf
like how much $$$ can it be for worst case shit? tell me i dont know exactly what im doin idiot
>>16984086
the fuck
no? are you dumb? the car is 30+ years old dude, youre a teenager or whatever and have no real source of income, the car will need every piece of the suspension replaced and the engine overhauled just to say you have anything resembling a reliable car.
get a NEWER one made in the last 20 years maybe and you have a SEMI-acceptable driver, that will still need money dumped into it.
MK1 and MK2 VW's are...collector cars now, as in you cant really buy one and expect it to be a reliable daily driver.
MK3's are trash. don't even look.
TRUTH:
Manual transmissions are for kids - driving a stick is not a special skill, modern automatics are better, the novelty wears off after a few weeks, grow the fuck up.
Nobody is impressed with your car unless it is no more than 3 years old with MSRP over $60,000. There's a reason girls like BMWs.
Miatas are not good cars. First of all, they are slow, second, sacrificing all practicality for performance does not make it a good car.
No car that needs to be modified to be good is worth having. If you can't afford a nice car, accept it. Fucknuggets from eBay won't make it better.
If other enthusiasts like your car, it doesn't make it a good car, it just makes you part of the circlejerk. That's like a weeaboo being impressed with your anime collection.
If your daily is a sports car, you have fucked up priorities and your life is probably beyond the point that you can recover from all the other bad decisions you have already made.
