>the only issue is my van doesn't have glowplugs and doesn't start at temperatures lower than 6c,
put glowsplugs in your engine already, they're not that expensive.

I'll never understand how so many of you retards on /o/ manage to flip and total your cars. I've been through the mountains of California, Nevada, New Hampshire, Georgia, and even mother fucking Switzerland on every roadster and motorcycle known to man and I've never come close to a wipe out as massive as that

As with most 80s Jap cars, look out for rust. Don't listen to autists claiming they flip over easy. If you're in the states, Geo Trackers may be more easy to find for you.

If you don't want accident history find a good reputable body shop and have dumbass pay out of pocket

>>16910962
the cars easily totaled

i'm more concerned about if the other person lies and says i went through a red

there were a number of witnesses on scene and cops were there quickly, but having never been in an accident before i didn't confirm stuff with the witnesses.

>>16910961
GEICO is nasty with other insurance companies.
As far as fault, they'll settle however they legally have to.

Were you or the other driver cited for the accident? If the other driver was cited, then they will likely consider them majority at fault. They won't sweat the percentages, just who was majority at fault. They'll pay you both either way since they have to, but they'll want to jack up the responsible driver's premiums so they GTFO GEICO or at least give GEICO more money.

fuck off. cactus a cool.

maybe if you're still into legos

A manual beat an automatic? Holy shit, stop the press.

>>16910817
Does it matter? Who buys an automatic camaro for """"performance""""

>>16910817
Wait, the lap time on a 2.5 mile course was within 1/3rd of a second and you're making a thread why? That's good for an automatic. More than acceptable for non-racing normal drivers on the road.

Not an expert, but this one is ugly, ep3 is prolly cheaper and can be modded with the remainder of cash.

FD2, it is the generation when honda mastered the k series and the quality control issues of post 2000 hondas have faded away by the time it was produced. It is also new enough to not suffer fron reliability issues due to age, like most b series hondas.

>>16910448
>>16910460
Also as far as FD2 vs FN2, the FD2 has a stiffer chassis and is much more practical than the FN2 without being that much larger.

Ok

I have an nc miata/mx5 and I think they have only got better with the new rf

I test drove the new Mazda6. The interior was really nice but it felt really big and kind of handled like a boat. I don't think it's going to make a very good car for offroading so I ultimately went with the MX 5.

People who already own a Lamborghini and want an every day practical Lamborghini

>And who is this giant hot wheels car even targeted at
The same people that buy Cayennes. Did you notice the trend of buying SUVs? Where there's demand, there's supply. Auto makers have to adapt.

>>16910050
Good question. Not to mention they're unreliable and hard to fix thanks to German "Engineering".

I've got one, it's a reliable, comfy car with features better than other base model hatches including a full mfi display. Good seats, decent handling etc

Idk I really like VW, the interior is designed well imo and depending on the model and age they can be reliable*if* maintained well.

I don't have the black hub caps anymore lol, need a better pic. The transmission sucks tho, I learned to drive stick on it, got it with 50k mi, I hear the 6spds in GTIs are better

Honestly I want a TDI deisel

>>16910081
Also the 2.5 i5 looks okay on paper with decent torque, but the dynamics of how it drives seem pretty shit compared to VWs turbo engines 2.0 in the GTI or even the 1.8 or 1.4s in jettas

Because it's not, the most reliable CAR is the Mercedes 190d
