I put a busted up car that yet potentially has potential (level 100 sentence structure) on my local buy-sell website. I'm mostly doing this because it would pay off my small credit card debt in a pinch and I could immediately start working towards getting the project car I really want. However I don't know if I should just be patient and keep the car I'm thinking of selling and fix that or just sell it and get the other car that I would need to put less effort in the first place. It's like I don't know which car I want more.
I don't want to make the same mistake my grandfather made twice by selling two vehicles he shouldn't have and then hating himself for it later down the line.
How do I know I'm making the right choice /o/? How do I know I'm not selling it for too little or if I should even sell it at all?
I would tell you guys what the car in question is but then you'll all call me a faggot and tell me to fuck off pic somewhat related.

Yeah I spent over 400 hours restoring and cleaning a 1967 C10 longbed CST and sold it last year to go to school to become an electrician.
Despite doing well I can't find an apprenticeship and I live at home and drive a 2003 civic with head gasket issues. Been drinking more and more lately and realizing the longer I stay unemployed the less employable I am.

>>17783986
well I think the best bet for you is just to take 100% initiative when it comes to talking to employers and stuff. The longer you wait the worse it gets.

Anyone here super familiar with the LT1 GM used from 92-97? I was getting a random misfire (P0300) code and changed out the plugs and wires. The plugs are NGK TR55s and it the back driver's side plug has been getting the electrode bent so there's no gap. I'm guessing a chunk is missing out of my piston or the wrist pin/crank bearing is sloppy and letting the piston make contact. Also worth noting is that the spark plug hole felt slightly stripped, it threads in but won't tighten down. Any thoughts/opinions/advice?

Also I forgot to mention the engine has about 150k miles and based on other maintenance items I've addressed the previous owner(s) seem like total numbnuts.

>one of my plugs keeps getting struck by the Piston
>oh and it's also stripped and doesn't even tighten
>wat do?
based on this post the current owner is a numbnuts as well
>>
>>17783618
I mean yeah I'm not gonna deny it. It tightens enough to work even if it's not ideal. My confusion comes from the fact that none of the old plugs were bent. They were AC Delco plugs but TR55s are a well known and recommended replacement since the Delcos tend to lose their platinum pucks.

Will putting this sticker on my car and installing a booster seat make motorists act nicer to me on the road? I am tired of being bullied by mean people and this is my last chance to stop the bullying before I quit driving for good.

Hell no. It will just make the motorist act more like a dick towards you. It's the equivalent of having to walk around school with a "Please don't bully me, I have autism" sign around your neck.

Im looking at buying a new car come spring time, and all of these cars can be found local to me for around the same price in good condition. My budget is 6-7k, but i have a few grand leeway in either direction. Im looking for a car I can dump money into long-term, as a weekend toy/backup daily. Whichever one I get will end up being heavily modified in the future.
I know these are all very different cars, and without making the OP a tl;dr ill just say there are factors about each that appeal to me. Convince me to settle on one, cuz i have a good long while to think about it

Id say STI if you have the money to tune it so it doesn't blow up.

>>17782357
blob eye sti's in my area go for 2-3 times more than a standard wrx. i dont think its worth it, and desu if im dropping 15k-18k on a used car id rather get an frs
>>
>>17782362
Just get an 03-06 dude. You really can't find an STI for like 7k in your area? It's fine if you can't, just surprised

Looking to buy a used car for under $10k. Want nice mileage, reliability, and comfiness (preferably leather) since it will be a daily driver for my 1-2hr total commute.
What would /o/ recommend? Looking good and newness would be preferable but aren't as important as the other traits. What would you choose if you were looking under these constraints?

I always wondered why there are no African cars/car manufacturers.

Tell me why this is a bad idea.

You guys seem to swear by Civics for good speed and a reliable / cheap car. That said, what year / specific variant is the best to go for? And how should you mod it for speed?
Slightly less related: why not Accord for the 2 door & slimmer body?

No, you should buy an NSX. really sleek and sexy. will have low cost of ownership compared to typical new-money super cars and Honda reliability. will likely hold Value better because not that many are being produced and demand in some areas are outpacing supply.
