You are NOT telling everyone that you have a car. Hide your power level. But then again, your refusal to help others is also annoying. Your excuse is that you have to work on your project or homework DUE tomorrow. Or you have to study for an exam coming up TODAY. Or you have to meet someone else TODAY. Or you have to do something else TODAY. Etcetera.

When I was at univ, people didn't agonize over finding ways to not help people with a car ride if it was in the direction they were already going. Heck, people who had cars and went shopping would ask around "Does anyone need something?" and then people would get a ride out to Costco or even go out to eat.

What's a comfy, reliable barge with decent highway mpg (over 20), for under 3k? I see a couple nice GMs, but they're all black with black leather and untinted windows. Have a hard time getting over the crown vic stigma, and B-bodies are all nigged.

I have a friend with a 96 ranger, 4x2, I4 (5-speed), that wants both rear wheels to have traction. So that if you're stuck in the mud it won't just be one wheel spinning. Any recommendations on ways to alter the vehicle/differential so that both wheels will spin in the mud instead of only one?

You might have to travel a bit to find what you need.

I've driven 500 miles to get the car I wanted.

Went to look a 98 Celica ZR as a potential first car today, but I don't know that much about the maintenance/mechanical side of cars. Took a few photos of the engine bay and underbody, can anyone tell me if this looks alright? Or should I avoid? I'm prepared to do some work on the car myself if it's cheaper and easier.

Little too late for the new GT although i doubt it would've made much of a difference. even now, it will take quite some time before manufacturers even start designing things around the new regulations since they've probably built their business strategy going forward around Obama's.

Bring on the fuel-sucking monsters!

If the speed limit is 65 then he can do as he likes.
Unless there is a sign or law indicating that you must keep right except to pass.

As opposed to sitting in them? Here's how it works:

Think about this: when you're driving you stop paying attention to the cars that are riding alongside you. You know they're there, but you don't actually pay any attention to them. That said, this lower speed also makes you comfortable and, to an extent, complacent.

When a car passes you on the highway, you see them. They get your attention until they're in front of you, then you don't care because they're gone in the distance. Because of the higher speed and constant introduction of new obstacles to your path, you also tend to pay more attention, which helps you see that retard who can't hold their lane and adjust accordingly.

Because of this, by passing people you draw attention to yourself. However you're not being a retard like >>16840360 suggests, and instead are moving just fast enough to command attention without also bringing comments of "what an asshole" because you're moving faster than traffic.

I've never had a person nearly sideswipe me while doing this, but I've had about 6 instances where I was almost sideswiped doing the speed limit.

Long sob story about me being a recovering alcoholic and drug addict not withstanding, I need a hobby. One that will suck up every second I exist, outside work and family time (though honestly, family time has taken a back seat to being fucked up for the past decade)

It looks like there is an SCCA track and active group less than an hour away from me so I started thinking about club racing. (My first choice was to shoot IDPA/USPSA but my lawyers advised against owning firearms for a little while)

Here comes my question. Do you buy dirt cheap, and add parts as you go? (Miata or 240sx) or do you spend a bit more up front and not have to worry about much modding for a little while (Porsche Boxster)?

It seems like I can find a running Miata for about 2k. A running 240sx for about 3k and a running Boxster for 6k... At what point does upfront cost actually pay dividends? Convince me SCCA and racing is my future. Aside from this I can contemplating Bow hunting, or just volunteering my time to Wounded Warriors
