Mazda is one of last companies left that cares about cars. All the other companies just wanna shove EV's down our throats.

>cheap to run diesel mustang

you can get an IMS bearing replacement kit for the 996 that fixes its IMS problems. Once you do that, you can put a million miles on your Porsche, they last forever. Only the base 996 has IMS issues, not the Turbo or GT3.

>>17885308
Can confirm. Bought a boxster for 5 grand with the upgraded IMS and Rear main seal, and I've literally done nothing but change the oil twice and check the valve lifters in over 12000 miles.

>he fell for the fuel additive meme

Sometimes yes, but I always roll the windows down to make sure the smoke doesn't stay in.

>>17883567
I don't smoke at all, but generally let the occasional somebody else smoke as long as the window is open and he ashes out the window. Haven't had any problems.

You betta be taking the piss m8, it's probably the best looking 5 series of all time and the V8 makes 400hp, very nice power to weight ratio with a good CoG
>are they money pits
Compare to the E34, oh good yes

All in the last few days. I swear I got a 15% boost to power from the cleaning alone, this thing was probably near death from neglect.

Depends, OP, on what you're driving.
Are you DIY?, or are you gonna bring it into the shop?

>89 Jeep Comanche
Probably $5. You? Probably more.

Should I tell him to sell it for something safer? Or am I a bad friend

>>17882426
he isn't interested in a starter bike, he wants a 600.

Not in the last 10 years.

Husky te250i. I wish the 300 was coming to the US but I can definitely settle with this

Maybe, not really a fan of the 3 doors bullshit.

>>17881914

wait, is this going to be an actual street car? i'm on all on board if this thing costs under $50k, comes with a stickshift and is sold in murica

>>17881914
I think it's cool, but idk what more I can say about it.

>cool cars
>ladies driving
>no replies

warranted.
desu heard of this one girl who comes to meets in my area (capital of NC) driving a boosted right hand r32 imported from japan. it was manual as well, was very impressed

>>17881648
I recently moved to a new city, and a lot more women are driving interesting shit than I've ever seen before.
Recently I've seen women (alone) driving:
>GT350
>Final gen Viper
>Hawkeye STI
>CTS-V
>Audi R8
>various hot hatches, many of which are manual only
I don't know what it is about Indianapolis, but women seem to care a lot more about cars up here than elsewhere

>>17881648
Was in Dubai. Saw a lady in Hijab driving a McLaren P1.
