Get one in hot pink and disregard opinions.

It's a hilariously soulless and boring car given the name but if you want a slow box just do it.

If you want a cool box get a first gen xB

Because its a Korean made appliance with no soul.

Think about it: all manly vehicles express a manly capability. Trucks haul heavy loads, Jeeps and and proper Suvs are supposed to climb mountains, Sports cars are supposed out run and out turn everything else, Bikes require a unique to ride properly fast and their riders are seen as brave given that they have little protection.

What does the Kia soul express when a man drives it? Blandness, the mundane tolerance of mediocrity, the indifference of the fact that it was the safe choice, the choice most likely not to kill you in a fiery high speed crash.

The Caveat is this though: Not giving a shit what others think of you is just as alpha and manly as anything above I've just written, as that is what differentiates men from women and faggots; and THIS is where you have failed the most; You do care what other people think ,you worry that you maybe perceived negatively even though those judgements upon your character have little impact on your life in a general sense.

Grow a pair of balls, DO what you want live your life the way you want, don't think twice about others, you can support yourself.

shut the fuck up.

Nobody here can tell you what you're going to pay because when it comes to insurance there are so many factors for example, your age, health history, city/town you live in, gender etc.

Now fuck off.

Like I said tried that with no response

Thats because they are cheap econoboxes. Have you ever driven one? Chassis/body is pretty meh-tier construction wise. They just Have a huge aftermarket and dat 5.0l

The late 80s and early 90s had a lot of really generic looking coupes and sedans. You usually either like them or hate them.

That was the point. They were trying to make it an econocar. With a 4 banger, turbo 4 banger as options. It was designed not to gave legendary mustang looks on purpose. Luckily there was not as many cucks back then, so customers still bought the V8 and police started buying V8s as an Interceptor since Camaros were so unreliable. The high sales convinced Ford not to turn it into a FWD shitbox like everyone else did to their good cars.

The engine these are off

>>17764829
Well, I've got a '97 Lexus Ls400 that I've nicknamed "The Lexus Valdeez".

Power steering fluid leaking, lots of it. Probably never going to fix it and sell it to Mexicans for $2500, which is $1000 more than I paid for it.

I also have a 94 accord wagon that consumes about a quart of oil every 300 miles, it was leaking but that stopped, it's not going into the coolant, and it's not blowing blue smoke. But the oil is going somewhere other than the sump, I assure you.

Engines are really nice but you'll probably need timing chain guides. Cobra IRS is extra nice. Super easy to work on. Fast as hell, easy to mod. Nice transmission.

Overall car quality is horrifically bad (especially interior) and they feel like they're much larger than they are. Prone to rust in the front strut towers and around the trunk under the rear. Retards tend to mod them to cheapo parts.

I'd say go for it if it checks out inside and out. It's fast and doesn't handle quite as poorly as the SRA models.

Engines are some of the best ever put in a ford. The 4.6 DOHC is a beast and can handle whatever boost you through at it up to 1200hp. The cobra's are legends in mustang world and I'm pretty jelly desu. Don't expect much from the interior though. It's all plastic, and will break and age pretty meh.

The Mustang never stops surprising me in how much shit I need to constantly repair despite it being one of the simplest cars of its era.

And that fucking interior. It's worse than the 1985 Caravan my family had.

When will commies learn that their shit don't fly.

Hmmm.

There has been a company that lets you share cars in the UK, it didn't go swimmingly.

Software engineer here at a company that specializes in computer vision products.

It's worth noting that the problem will get easier, not harder

1. There is currently no standardized vehicle to vehicle communications protocol. When that comes, and every car is sharing their speed and bearing with every nearby car, avoid vehicle to vehicle collisions will basically be trivial, even with some vehicle not being fully autonomous.
2. Roads have been built for human eyes, not computer. In the future, signage will come in the form of barcodes, not letters/shapes that need to be detected and OCR'd.
3. Lane line detection (a major difficulty in harsh conditions) may not be necessary if lane information is encoded in local road signage (barcodes) mentioned above. You could also "free style" lanes with a robust enough communications protocol, also mentioned above.


But yeah, all of this transition will come slowly. Musk's timelines are delusional.

>speech bubble poorly reversed for literally no reason
why

Non-pininfarina designed Ferraris were a mistake. 812 Superfast looks like a Viper, this looks like a Vette.

>>17764479
The new design language of Ferrari looks like what Toyota is doing to their cars.

Look into staffing agencies ya bum!

>>17764403
Do they work with tradesmen? My experience is doing general handyman work for an apartment complex.

Take any shitty delivery job that's available that provides a vehicle for your shift. Once you have that you are set because you will be "out there". You can get chummy with the guys you deliver shit to and form a minor relationship. Once you slowly get to know these people you can ask if theyre ever hiring (preferably warehouses and specialty shops) and already know a guy on the inside who can give you the best chance at a better job.

1st gen Trackers make me so hard.

nice suzuki vitara bro

>>17764219
I know right?
>>17764229
Why did this car have like 3 different names? Were they afraid of alienating audiences by just calling it "Tracker"?

>>17764181
Fill it in and send it. I recon they'll send you something just because it's so old.

>>17764181
fill it out and send it in faggot. probably nothing will happen, but maybe something will.
