Wrecking yards usually sell used decent tires in the us.

>>17546434
has to do with the roofline no?

Are you talking about a car model in particular? Because a lot of manufacturers are using retarded marketing terms nowadays.

It's a car with sedan styling but with a rear hatch which means much larger trunk opening.

I own a dog and I used a crash tested crate when we go for longer trips for safety. I can't fit the crate into the trunk or rear door opening in a traditional sedan. I need a rear hatch.

BUT, I hate the look of hatchbacks. Fucking hate them. Look like poor people/yuro city budget cars. Sedans look great. So, a sportback with a hatch is ideal for me.

Waiting on pic related because it's going to be the cheapest vehicle in this format. Audi A5 and BMW 4 Gran Coupe are very expensive.

If you're going to go that fast in the first place then you really don't care about safety.

Not entirely. As long as you slide and don't hit any stationary object or get pinned by the bike, a lot of your injuries can be saved by a good jacket, good pants, good full face helmet, boots, gloves. Or just a leather track suit. Not everyone's a total squid.

If your body catches traction and you start tumbling, that's another story.

Source: have been down, rolled several times, bike got fucking mangled, was wearing all my gear and only broke my toe because it got snagged by the wheel of the motherfucker that pulled out in front of me.

Your oil filter has an anti drain back valve so when all the oil drains back into the pan and you start your car, there's still oil that goes to the engine immediately. Starting your car is what does the most damage to your engine, and by continually cranking it over you're causing a lot of damage.

There will always be a good film coating of oil left inside the entirety of where the oil normally flows, which gives plenty of lubrication until the oil pressure has risen to its standard

The best thing for your engine is to have good oil with the correct temperature ratings for your climate/driving conditions

Well I can't imagine that Magnus will be stood in a car park on his own so yeah someone will be going. Not me though.

It's so cool to see someone who isn't a stereotypical yuppie with a cool porsche.

might drop by. I like how the mods he does to the cars are very small but make huge differences. I think he respects the car itself but wants to add so flare

I just hope the new Mustang platform loses a few hundred pounds.

Fuck off and die, Lincoln shill.

Hyundai always made reliable engines, people who say differently are memesters.

Early Hyundai were cheap beater cars that got amazing gas mileage and were the cheapest cars you could get by a large margin. Reliability was spotty.

Now Hyundai is very damn reliable and their cars are on par with most other auto companies. They're more reliable than Honda and Mazda, as of late.

Why do you keep making this post?

Why do you think it gets funnier with repetition?

I mostly go for "cheapest, most sane" decision, but I am also fine with paying a bit more to buy something that won't kill my ass/back on a longer trip.

> inb4 why not buy a new Connect
I loved that vehicle, it was fucking top-notch. But it's bloody expensive and no matter who is at fault when there is an accident, you won't get back 100% of your car's value.

Well okay, there were a few issues:
- Engine ran cold for way too long. Like in winter, I had to go 15-30 miles just to get it warmed up.
- Paint was so thin, even paper boxes scraped it off. Not even kidding. Like Ford forgot to use clearcoat.

Other than these two it was good though.

I'd get a new Dokker personally. Had a Logan myself for 5 years and it never put a foot wrong. Doesn't depreciate hardly at all, you buy the thing for 10k new and sell it for 5k when the warranty runs out.

Obviously they're pretty spartan in terms of creature comforts and they're no race cars but for utilitarian transport for cheap I don't think you can beat Dacia.

Fiesta is pretty ugly, wish I could do something half decent with the engine cover.
