Stay safe out there gents

>Cucked gov needs to alert of speed camera
>Everyone slowdown to speed limit
>Pass camera
>Everyone resume driving at 30 over speed limit

In Baltimore all of the speed cameras are disabled because they cont find a contractor for them.

The last one was involved in some corruption or something. Speeding past them while the out of towners slow down out of fear is pretty fun.

I grew out of american cars at about 12 or 13.
I realized they were trash comparatively and ive driven toyotas ever since.
No issues at all.
Meanwhile my moms grandam wont stop breaking
My dads silverado is always in the shop for transmission issues and low oil pressure.
My grandpas F150 shoots out spark plugs constantly.

I just keep on driving.

Here's a list of shit I wish I knew when I started working on cars

>Invest in a good floor jack. Fuck barrel jacks
>Invest in at least 4 good stands
>Buy a breaker bar. You'd be surprised how often you can make a job significantly easier with the addition of 6-12 inches of leverage.
>Don't buy into the hype of tools.
I'm looking at you Snap-On / Craftsman
>If you replace a part that isn't totally worn out. Dont throw it away. Spare parts will save your ass more times than you can count.
>BUY.
>A.
>MANUAL.
>It is a million times easier to do a job slowly but correctly once than hammer through it quickly 5 times.

>>16865705
Basically just this.

Also always make sure you have a way to get to your parts centre when your car is disassembled.
>Don't over torque
>Lots of penetrating lube

>>16865705

Everything they said I strongly agree with, except the tool brand part. I'm not recommending you get a second mortgage to buy tools, but there's a big difference between a 30 year old well built ratchet and a brand new chineseum POS.

Also, when I was in college, my financial situation was... precarious. I would go to the yard every once in a while and grab expensive parts for my car on the cheap (alternator, fuel pump, ignition switch, fuses, bulbs, wiper motor, etc...). Just anything cheap that would financially wreck me if I had to replace it new. Plus, OEM is without question better than the shit you can get at vatozone.

I only know one other person that drives manual, so no one asks to drive my car.

Yeah I let my friends drive my beater and my truck. No one drive my summer car tho

when i had an automatic, sure

i don't care

but now that i drive a manual i don't let my friends drive it because they don't know how to drive stick, and my shifter is really stiff.

dont want them to literally destroy my poor transmission and clutch.

>implying /o/ has ever bought a car from a salesman

Just get a 3k civic

>>16865085
Go the last day of the month. This month also happens to be the last day of the physical year. Dealers always give the best prices at the end of the month because the may need to move the unit to get their volume # or they've already got the volume # & it's just gravy at this point. Also, be prepared to walk. If they REALLY need the sale they might have a crazy counter offer to make the sale.

Why do retards like you always need to stoop to the level of the retarded poorfags you whine about
