How hard is it to change your own tires? I've got a full set of tires but can't really take my car to a shop because my tires are dry rotted
>>17665904
pain in the ass even with the right tools. if they hold air just stay off the freeway or if you have another ride put the car on jackstands and drive the wheels and tires to the shop
>>17665909
>or if you have another ride put the car on jackstands and drive the wheels and tires to the shop
You're a fucking lifesaver and I'm a total retard
>>17665919
Sup br/o/s.
Long story short, after years of being worn out in the scene, I think cars are fucking dumb as fuck now.
However, after I lock away my old boi racer, I need something fairly new and decent, yet nondescript and normie as phuck. Don't mind buying used.
Any ideas for a cheap, nice car preferably with good fuel economy that won't attract a bunch of faggots so I can drive in peace for once?
Some ideas I'm liking:
-Jeep Renegade
-Subaru Outback
-Subaru Crosstrek
-Mini Countryman
-Ford Escape
Sounds good?

Don't forget to separate the yoke from the whites. Wouldn't want to give your car high cholesterol.

Was anybody else raised with car obsessed boomer parents who killed your interest in cars when you were younger?
>>17665719
no, i was raised by a single mother and thought cars were pretty much magic because nobody was there to teach me really simple shit. took years of slogging through the internet and manuals to be able to complete simple repairs when an even marginally competent boomer parent with an interest in cars would've given me a huge leg up.
I grew up in a family of mechanics going back to the 1940s (and maybe earlier)
they did the opposite of killing my car interest and had me driving V8 shitboxes in elementary school and at one point I wanted to be a mechanic too
personally I liked all the stories even if some were obvious bullshit
>>17665719
What bizarre fusion of nig and boomer is that dialect?
Round 2 :
Bonus points: Dont suggest American.
Budget 32K Max
Requirements:
Comfy like a Lexus LS/GS or a Chrysler 300
Has badge prestige
Can be Coupe or Sedan
Fast is a plus but not a must.
Ventilated/cooled seats a must.
Adaptive cruise a plus
Aaaand go again
>>17665681
nigga, just get a used GS350. they don't hold value for shit compared to other Toyota's. used GS's go for close to the same price as a used Camry.
>>17665681
Loaded top trim Honda Accord V6 has everything but badge prestige
>>17665681
Why dont you do your own fucking research instead of having us do it for you? You lazy cunt.
I'm currently driving an '88 conquest from Michigan to my home in San Diego. Post your road trip tips, stories, or new acquisitions.
Going on a road trip for the first time in my new Civic hatch. Going from Florida to NC. Gonna be comfy af.
>>17665394
usually it would be the other way around
Why did you go to Michigan? I hope you quintuple checked for rust...
>>17665721
I had it on a lift. 25k miles, garaged and purchased from original owner. It was so good on paper I had to make the trip to see it and it ended up being perfect.
I was considering buying a 17' Corolla until I realized it has CVT. Why do this? Also 17' Civics have it. Just why?? Mazda 6 Grand Touring or Hyundai Elantra Sport
CVT is more fuel efficient.
The government's "55 by 25" initiative (where manufacturers have to meet 55mpg by 2025) pushed most of them to CVT.
Mazda 3 still uses a traditional auto gearbox, as do Jettas.
>CVT
Never once
>>17665376
>17'
It is '17 unless you mean it is a 17-foot long Corolla.
I'm just looking for 215/80R15 AT or 215/85/R15 AT tires, but they don't seem to exist in the United States.
Have you guys ever wanted certain tires you can't get?
>>17663373
I feel your pain, especially at the 80 and 85 aspect ratios. Even minivans have lower aspect ratios than that nowadays. I have lots of older iron where the only way I can get tires like that is to go with a bias ply.
Why not just go with 215/75r15 like any sane person would?
>>17663718
V6s have gone from substitutes to full blown replacements for V8s in less than 2 decades. Is the V6 the last hoorah from ICE before the electric takeover?
>
>>17661001
jesus christ you autist, just let you're troll thread die
>>17661001
Yeah v8s are too big and don't make much more power and can't fit behind axles. Electric won't take over unless they put thorium reactors on or have a revolution in battery technology because lithium cells aren't cutting it.
Who /cue ball/ here?
>>17743954
>who ruined /syncros/ here?
>>17743954
I have the same one, only difference is black base and dark red for the numbering and stripes
My truck is retarded and you have to fab some shit up to change the shift knob and then the actual stick is an inch and a half shorter so I don't bother with it

Hey O, what the hell is this?
Maybe a weight for mechanical ignition?
Are you testing us?
GM starter motor brush.
Anything with Delco or AC-Delco is General Motors.
>>17744453
No I dug this up along with some spark plugs, I don't know shit about cars.
How do companies with cars that are unreliable as shit still able to maintain a good appreciation? Obvious examples are Range Rover, Mercedes Benz, etc.
>inb4 people who buy them don't care about maintenance costs
Alright. So that means these companies don't care about a person or that amount of people who buy their products after saving up for years.
In my opinion, any German, British or any European car company are absolute money sucking leeches. Why don't people just understand this?
>inb4 but they are better in quality than your average shitbox
Real quality is where the car can maintain it's reliability/less maintenance costs even after the warranty period gets over.
>inb4 go drive a Lexus then
A customer has the right to buy anything he/she likes.
>>17743706
They arent as unreliable as poorfags want you to think
