I never have problems with HF sockets. You got Pittsburgh Pro sockets so they replace them free if they break. You did very gud, Anon.

2011 cop car. Crown vic. 79,000 miles and about 250hp.
Am told it is a running mutherfucker. After researching the public and cop car differences and my own 2002 - 200hp vic daily driving i would agree.
I know and trust the driver of this car a great deal and since it's had proper maintenance and i'm a 3 hour drive away i'm buying it sight unseen.
They were offered $3,500 trade in and said "no, it will bring more at auction."
Inquire about auction. Prepared to mail a check and cross fingers.
Online auction. No reserves. My sides win, lose, or daw.
I dont really "need" a new car but i gave $2,000 for my old lady owned 02 shitbox about 4 years ago and only ever put an air compressor and bags on it. Pretty sure a bag had a hole and negligence caused the wear on the compressor but whatever.
Kinda digging the 2011 here and im fairly certain i can clean up my shitbox and get my $2,000 back or close to it.
Guessing from similar actions it shouldn't break $2,000.
If it does tho how high should i go? Will probably be my daily for 5 or 10 years and the newest vehicle i have ever owned by like 7 years.
Wat do?

interested in rallying one of these but people said I shouldn't. started a thread about it hut a bunch of Subaru cucks derailed it
>>
>>16888793
I'd never buy a full sized sedan today but you seem to enjoy them and a 2011 will probably last you longer. Be careful with the former interceptor cars however it may have double the miles on it realistically due to idling in speed traps.
>>16888821
No shit you shouldn't try to rally it. It's a 2 ton+ land barge with an automatic transmission and RWD. You're clearly an underage bus rider.
>>
>>16888821
Fuck them mutherfuckers man. I'm litteraly building a lifted 4x4 vic when i move. Grab a few beater $500 shitboxes off of craigslist or fb. Male sure coil springs in the back and not air bags, and commence the trashing. Kind of heavy and a cock to work on but being cheap af all over makes it worth it. Getting 15 acers uf things go well. Collecting 50 of these and making a dirt track.
Fuck the haters man. Do wtf u wanna do unles someone helpful gives you a valid reason not to do it.
Seriously u are overspending if you cant find a 98+ shitbox in daily driver shape for like $1,000

How often do cars actually break down/have issues/why? How response-bias are defect reports?
For example, BMW gets a bad rep for having issues. What percentage of people actually suffer these issues? Are the issues caused by improper/infrequent maintenance? Or are BMW's just built crappily?
I'm asking because my mother's talking about handing down to me her '98 Nissan Maxima. It's gotten ~140k miles on it, and has never had a major issue, but that's with regular "tune-ups" (oil changes, brake changes, tire/wheel rotations, routine stuff). My dad's '06 Honda Odyessy is the same story, at ~180k miles. Meanwhile, one of my friends has an S10 with barely ~120k miles and it's falling apart, despite him knowing a hell of a lot more about cars than my dad and I.
I'm wondering how atypical it is to have never had a major issue with a car, provided you perform routine maintenance on it. If I were to buy, say, a used Volvo that runs well when bought, and then perform routine check-ups on it, will it last me a long time? Or are there simply just some makes/models that are shit? When cars are labeled "bulletproof" in terms of durability, is it due to how they last in the face of terrible maintenance, or is it just because they do their jobs without fuss for long?
I don't know if I'm making sense, sorry

It just so happens that my parents bought those cars, and those were the ones I had at hand to use as first-hand reference. One of my other friends has a recent year Ford Taurus and it also seems to be doing fine.
>>16888712
Do you happen to know off the top of your head how these problems occurred? (Maybe noticing that their brakes were garbage, they're running 5-year old oil, etc...?) Just by chance, I'm obviously not expecting you to give me a full diagnostics report

Skyactives are great engines, they can run stupid high CRs on shitty 3rd world fuel and still kick the ass of all 2000cc N/A rivals.

Just pulled my first car out of a junkyard and got it home. ran fine on the way here
will not go above exactly 1800 rpm ONLY when drive or reverse is actually engaged. neutral or park it runs perfectly.
have tried resetting electronics and compression seems good out of the exhaust.
Mechanical engineer not mechanic so need a push in the right direction.

I have a really bad fetish for flashy, cheesy, reaganomic-fueled cars from the late 80's. My pop has worked in the car business since before I was born and he tells me most 80's cars are junk but I still can't help but love the stylistic optimism and excess of these things. Post more like this.

worst decade

>>
>>16885177
Nope, the worst decade was the 70s by far, due to emissions bullshit largely.
-BBQ Pinto
-Mustang II
-Chevette
-Early Omnis
-Aspen
-The Pacer (Waynes World be damned)
-VW Thing
-Anything Japanese, it was a rusted hulk by 1983, and that's IF it made it to the decade.

If you have another car somewhere that you can drive when it's raining, snowing, or otherwise freezing outside then yes
If not then fucking no, get a beater and THEN get a bike.

is there a more attractive headlight design in recent years?

Ok /o/ what does your car smell like? I used my last Meguiar car refresher last month and needed something new because I can't find them locally right now. And for the record fuck little trees. Especially that one that smells like cheap cologne. You know which one I mean. So I decided to go with this. It actually smells way better than I'd hoped and I'm happy as fuck with it.
