Some folks think there's a worldwide Jewish conspiracy.
Me? I just drive my Volvo.
>>17630974
so you support the worldwide Chinese conspiracy.

>340/360's were chinese
you're dumb
>>17630974
That's what makes a volvo, a volvo
I think the Evo X's look better than 9s
This is an unpopular opinion? I'll take the X over the others design-wise any day. Don't know about the engine though. Is the 4B11T better than the 4G63?
>>17630981
don't the timing chains fall off?

It's the Renault R5 a good beginners car? I am looking for some midnight toogaying the twisty roads of Southern Spain.
I found a nice one for 5000k$. Should I go for it?
I found another one for 3k. I like the retro looks. I don't see many of these nowdays, looks like a fun little car for drifting
>>17630704
>5000k
Most expensive car ever!
>>17630704
>>17631393
Oh crap, I had a brain fat. I meant 5k. I think I might just get a MK1 Miata. I like the R5 because it doesn't look as gay as the MX5, but not sure how good it might be.
who here /racecar/? i had my first race last night and it's an under statement to say that i'm hooked
Demolition derbies don't count, kid.
>>17630701
You fucked up not going Neon. Also get some fucking safety rims before you kill yourself. I can't tell what seat that is bit you better have head restraints. Good Luck.

Have you ever gotten all fours off the ground while driving?
>>17630454
Called rolling a car
Back in 98 i aired my moms mitsu montero about three feet. Surprisingly, no damage.
1ft of air at 200kph in a Fiesta ST. Pretty fuckin hectic
Let's design the perfect car /o/
Our goal is: fun and practicality as a DD
We'll list individual features and put them into a design, I'll start
>6 speed manual, with automatic as a downgrade, with both available for every trim
>can seat 5 comfortably
Has the 80s and early 90s boxy aeshtetic, and not the ugly angry transformer cars today.

Whoa is that a thing? I can't imagine
Would a rear engine car be effective for rallycross? There's no cheap AWD cars in my area and I don't want another FWD car.
>>17629803
Have fun steering.
>>17629803
It could be, if you can manage to keep the damn thing under control.
>>17629803
drifting every corner can get boring after awhile

>>17629689
I fucking hate the street my mom lives on, it's narrow as shit so you have to park 1" from the foot high curbs. My wheels are rashed to shit. Gonna stop visiting her soon.

I need to do an oil change on my car, but I'm too inept to do it myself. How do I not get scammed?
>>17629657
You are nit to inept to do it yourself. It is four steps.
1.unscrew the oil drain plug to drain out the old oil.
2.unscrew the old oil filter and replace with a new one
3.screw the drain plug back in
4.refill with new oil.
It is the most basic bitch thing in the world.
>>17629657
If you're too inept to do as something as basic as an oil change, then you'll be too inept to understand when you're being scammed.
Go on Yelp or AngiesList, search for independent mechanics in your area, pick one that people aren't bitching about. Indies are generally their own bosses and don't have a greedy management trying to use them to fuck over their customers. So they're more likely to just do the oil change and leave the rest of your car alone, which is something those oil change places absolutely don't do, they'll be all over your air filter, cabin filter, opening your coolant cap, etc. so they can find things to sell to you because their manager told them to or find another job.
I typically like to push it up using my middle finger, with the thumb resting on top and the index finger behind the lever and push down on it using my thumb.
Feels incredibly satisfying and cool when I do it this way
Do you have a specific preference in the way you use the levers in your car? Turn signals, gear shift, etc.
I wrap my whole hand around it and shove it up or down with a lot of force like I'm shifting a really old car
>>17629582
Like an old three-on-the-tree? Those shifters were really cool, I wish they made a comeback, except with more gears of course.
>>17629579
I reach my right hand through the steering wheel and push it down or up with my middle finger.
Why automatics always change gears in the least appropriate moments?
This is exactly the reason for which they are so rare.
>>17629565
whaddya mean by least appropriate?
>>17629565
>they are so rare

pay them no attention
Which car manufacturer has the cheapest replacement parts and repair/labour costs?
Lada
Frenchies.
Depends where you live.
So, /o/, why isn't LPG more common as a fuel in cars around the world? Why are no manufacturers making cars use LPG from factory? What's wrong with it?
>LPG fuel is literally dirt cheap
>relatively clean
>perfect alternative for gasoline
>can pretty much work in a hybrid manner with gasoline
And then we wouldn't spend so much on gasoline. Do you even have to start endless wars for this shit
i thought it was hard on engines. it has no lubricity.
also the lpg forklifts seem to have short lives at work and start to burn oil after 10 years and lose power
>>17629484
>after 10 years
People shouldnt still drive 10 year old cars
enough eurobeat garbage. let's have some 90s trance list for racing.
