So you're getting like a 20-30 year old car that sucked to begin with as your first DD? I'm all about buying an old beaterbox and learning how to fix it, but are you sure you know what you're doing here?

So I sprayed a stripe on my Nissan Cube about 1 foot wide from the bottom of the front bumper to the bottom of the back along with hubcaps
>FF about 3 months
>Decide fuck it im gonna buy a different car
>got to stealership
>tells me my trade in will double almost triple if I take the stripe off
>figure okay it should just come off if I peel it like a sticker
>NOPE
It took me dousing the whole stripe in lighter fluid for an hour and a pressure washer to get it all off
Whoever said that plasti dip comes off easily is fucking retarded I tried peeling that shit off and it came off in tiny 1/4 inch chunks not like a sticker as they claim
>you didn't do enough coats
Yes I fucking did I did 8 coats across the entire car
Fuck plastidip

You did too many coats.

8 light coats is equal to maybe 2 normal coats.
So your coat count doesn't mean anything.

What is VIN?

>>17815170
You don't need one in the US, register under special construction.
Either way, it's not worth the effort. Aftermarket parts, especially body parts, don't snap together like legos. It's not worth spending thousands of hours trying to get a body together and straight when there's shittons of the cars out there already.

why yes they have
look into promods
Is anything worth going over yaris if space is acceptable?
Mainly I am thinking about reliability of the engine and general quality
What would be its alternative, or paying bit more for something extra?
While I can afford 14k it would leave me extremely drained with no sudden emergency funds that I like to have.

Go sit in all of them first.
Reliability should be comparable.
>>
>>17815109
planning on yaris and auris, depending on real life experience of their size and space in trunk
not sure if I should bother with honda, though apparently honda is somehow in my brain as reliable and better choice and I keep coming to it.
also have no idea what hidden cost will made apparent while I actually go and try to buy a car, and how long is waiting
>>
Ehh normally when we badger people about car reliability its because they have shitty choices but these are Toyota's and a Honda. No need to worry there.
As a mk1 Jazz owner I would side with the Honda. They tend to lose on paper but win big in the real world. Toyota's just tend to feel disconnected and sloppy to me.
The Honda will blow your mind with the magic seats. It's possibly the most practical and spacious on the inside when you need it to be.
I have not quite had a kitchen sink in mine, but I did have a dishwasher and on a separate occasion a 180inch kitchen counter top (two pieces) mostly inside it.

In your opinion is the top dog when it comes to bone stock, lowest model, daily shitbox?
Civic, Focus, Mazda 3, Impreza, etc, which one is the ideal "my parents bought me a new car when I turned 16"?

You forgot
>Corolla
IMO the Corolla is the shittiest.
Mazda 3 is best shitbox.

Civic or Mazda 3 in manual is pretty much the best.
Ford and Subaru shitboxes are only worth it in their more expensive packages.

>>17814965
Nothing. New econoboxes are pointless.
Just get a civic for 3k
Can we have a perfect car?
>Electric engine
>Retractable headlights (Mazda MX-5)

In what way does building jet fighters make you a good car builder? Do you buy fridges from chainsaw manufacturers, too?

Can somebody explain why I need to go through a dealership to buy a new car? It seems like a huge waste of money and resources to have commission-based salesman, multiple layers of management, and finance jews. On average this just makes my car purchase cost more money. Yeah, 1% of people who "haggle" can get a "good deal" but the rest of society who aren't lucky/don't get the right salesperson/manager or show up on the wrong day/just aren't good at haggling get screwed.
Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to do all financing through a credit union and have direct sales instead of adding tons of middlemen to the process?

Go around and get quotes quickly. Pit dealerships against each other.

How do you go about that?
>>
>>17814736
Because otherwise the state can't get the Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin and then the whole scam about needing a license and insurance falls apart.

Probably because it's the most hideous color you can pick for a bmw. On my favorite car too feels fucking bad man.

What's your opinion on french car design?

Renault is trying to be VW with their "ONE FACE FOR ALL CARS (except the Twingo/Up!)" philosophy lately, Peugeot and Citroën seem to have gotten their shit back together in the design department and DS is quirky as fuck, like they should be (but their lineup could really use a refresh).
