I recently fixed some shit in my car and it made me want to learn more about it
Whats the best way to start learning about how to fix cars and getting into the culture?
I'm from /g/, and fixing computers is easy as shit
Once you learn them, are cars just as easy?
The next thing that needs to be fixed on my car is the brakes, and I've seen /o/ say its easy (I don't know if this is a meme or not) but my gf insists I take it to a mechanic since brakes are really important, but I don't want to spend that much money

Eh, if you know nothing about cars don't try to do a brake job. I would say it's about the equivalent of getting a distro like debian running smoothly.
Anyways, yeah cars are probably easier than computer software, but harder than hardware. Start by doing simple shit like oil changes, and work your way up. Buy a weekend car that you can dick around with.

I would agree with you if doing a brake job took hundreds of hours to learn from scratch. A car brake job can be learned in 2 hours through youtube and forum scouring.

With most things I'm mainly worried about having the proper tools

Welp /o/, my first car, a 1999 malibu, finally kicked the bucket after 4 years so it's time to step my game up. Looking for a fun, but daily driver. Im an under 25 male so i'd also prefer my insurance to not skyrocket, but i dont want to get another ugly shitbox. My price range is under $6000. I live a fair distance away from any big california city, so my selections arent too great. So far only thing ive been interested in was a 97 miata for 3k. Requesting your help / ideas for what to keep my eye on. Thanks.

Well, the Miata is a pretty reliable lil shitbox. Simple, not thirsty and easy to work on. Had to change the spark plugs twice though.

Subaru, just not a WRX or a 2.5 RS. Say a Legacy Outback, an OG Forester or a Forester XT.
Modify those. Subarus are built like automotive legos. You're car didn't come with a specific option? The wiring is already there for it. It was cheaper for Subaru to make 1 wiring harness for everything.

Can you guys help me make a decision on which car to buy?
Both seem to be gear heads and both seem pretty confident their car is in shape, though I'll be double checking with a mechanic regardless.
1:
>2005 Altima, 146k, $2700
2:
>'95 Civic 182k, $2500
Some advice would be awesome.
Here's Altima

Thinking about buying a 91 Buick Riviera in perfect condition for 3500, am I a dumbfuck?
It has under 100k and only needs new tires.

Sort of new to the car scene, but I bought a 2005 350z. Basically, what would you recommend first doing to my car besides spark plugs? Mainly to improve reliability in the engine and some performance for a decent price.

You really don't need to do anything extravagant. Just change the oil as necessary and do routine maintenance as the owners manual suggests.

Do you prefer coupes or sedans?

Coupes. I have nothing against sedans, but it sucks that they're so dominant. I don't need a sedan -- heck, a two-seater would suffice for me -- and I'm disappointed that there are fewer inexpensive coupes than sedans to choose from.
>>
>>17597272
For the most part Coupes get more love for design now a days. Sedans haven't gotten much love since the 90s
>>
>>17597272
Grand coupes.

In the market for a new car around 20k and I am looking for a fun card to daily drive. Naturally, I am looking at a hatchback.
Does anyone know the estimated release dates on the Elantra GT Sport and the GTI refresh? I think this is my short list at this point.
Yes, I looked at the FoST but the interior and platform as a whole is ancient. Also "le panel gaps lel" bullshit.
FiST is too small for me, and it appears to now be dead. So.
