They're famously unreliable and extremely expensive to repair

lesson of the day: Never lift, git gud, don't blame the car for lousy driving habits

>>17680895
Keep it yourself and sell it for parts

That usually means scrap metal prices are really low right now, they can't profit from it

The insurance company pays for the tow.

You can get a C5 Corvette in that range, can't you? It comes with an LS1 and (imo) better looks.

Theyre just fine if you want a car that looks okay and runs decently well. Interior is pretty cheap, though.

Get a GT. The 3 valve may be a bit lazy in stock form, but its bulletproof and takes mods pretty well.

>>17681089
$5-7k c5? No way
Maybe a c4 but they're fucking garbage

You're actually probably right, if you mean as a good intro "fun" car.

>Why is it so hard to find a Subaru substitute when your car is older than 10 years?
Please rephrase the question so it makes some fucking sense.

advice: don't buy shit you can't afford.

thx anon <3

>i don't know my interest rate yet

Figure this shit out before you go in. The dealer will likely fuck you over; check with your bank, local credit unions, etc. for a 4k auto loan.

Hmmm. Seems like Miata fags have an issue with spelling too.

Cheap jack, cheap stands works fine. The more important bit is that the jack and stands both go tall enough for your car so you can secure it in the right places and right height for you to work comfortably and safely on it

The simple truth for all us "home mechanics" - cheap shit do the job just fine for us in nearly all scenarios. You might be doing one specific thing much more often than me or some other guy, and therefore you find it worthwhile to invest more money into a certain tool.

Example; I owned a 1998 Mercedes-Benz C-Class for three and a half years, and having that car I felt it worthwhile to invest in a high quality Makita angle grinder (and later sold because I also sold the Mercedes), premium Würth flap discs and other grinding/polishing tools because the car was a rusty piece of shit

Now, my own question; is this thing worth getting for the occascional nut from hell and other small tasks? I'm visiting the US in about two months, and the price seems damned low for such a strong impact driver

My last jack was a 20 year old harbor freight 3 ton. It went on me a few months ago.

Replaced with a harbor freight 3 ton. No fucks.

Their stands are fine as well, I've got quite a few sets of them and never had a problem.

If you live somewhere with absolutely no off roading then it's almost okay I guess, As long as it's on bags. At least the truck is somewhat quick unlike a lowered civic.

A stock Silverado 6.2 is 420hp and does 0-60 in under 6. With a tune it does it in under 5. Not bad for a big truck.

what do you drive?

>>17679202
I ride the bus.

you could call it heavy, but DESU hellcats are pretty badass, you'd have way more bants to sling if he had got a gtr instead.
