i bought a car from a sketchy Filipino guy and he only gave me one key, he also knows where i go to uni
should i be afraid that he plans on stealing it back
Rekey the car, dipshit.
>>17506467
That would take so long and so much effort, I'd rather have him steal it and have my insurance refund me
>>17506481
>rekeying the car takes too much time and effort
>having the car stolen, spending hours upon hours filling out police reports, talking to cops, calling your insurance company multiple times, and then having to go get a rental while you wait a week or two for your insurance check to come in doesn't take too much time and effort
>not to mention the effort of having to go through the car buying, title change, and registration process all over again
I can see that you've never had to deal with the police or an insurance company over stolen property before.
Seriously, what is the future of this brand?
They love China obviously and plan to make China exclusive cars
But what are they going to do about their brand image? Low US sales figures?
There are rumors of a mark 9 but there are conflicting rumors of a flagship above the Continental
hey /o/ im looking at getting into rally and I want an AWD.
Looking to get a car under 6-7K CAD.
Looking at the GT4/Alltrac Celica, but is there anything else out there in a similar price range that I could turn into a good rally car?
>Be me
>Already own dream car
>Commuter sedan is shitting itself
>Need new car asap
>Need room
>Would take awd but not 100 percent needed.
>Decent mpg
What do /o/ have I reached that point in my life where I become a n/o/rmie? Growing up sucks.
I would go with a midsized but too huge now. Compact cars are a good size but lack the needed space which I would use. Also would take something with "decent" towing...but not truly needed.What do
Minivan.
Odyssey, Sienna or Town & Country. Nipshit has backwards controls but more power, T&C has more space inside because the roof doesn't fucking cave in at a 45 degree angle.
Source: have owned all three.

Twingos? Miatas? Needing cars to attract women? Buying 20 year old hunks of junk?? HOLY FUCK YOU GUYS ARE CANCER.
I'm off to a real car community. CarThrottle. Fuck you faggots! Go fuck a manual gear stick.

nice trips though
Nice blog fag
Says the guy paying more than 1000 a year on transportation
So ive always been a fan of older BMW's and am planning on selling my 2002 330ci soon to use as a down payment on a vehicle. Im not too familiar on newer/mid 2000s vehicles
My price range is anywhere from 6k-12k but more realistically 10k.
I would like something quick, and RWD. Coupe or sedan doesnt really matter. Ive been looking at the Lexus IS350s cause I really like the look and they seem quick. Anything else I could check out?
>>17505896
G35 with rev up engine is nice. Just make sure the milage is low and you do preventative maintenance. They are fast and beautiful and sound great with an intale and HFC's even on stock exhaust
>>17505896
Any e60 bmw past the 525i
335i or 03-06 E55 AMG
What's the dumbest thing you've heard a non ctizen say?
I had one person tell me that Acura was made by Honda.
>>17505844
Is this a failed shit post?
>>17505897
I think OP wanted to start a joke thread where we all go
>Some fag I know keeps insisting that Buicks are rebadges of some Nazi brand
>>17505844
>Acura was made by Honda.
could have been referring to some Acura cars are actually just rebranded honda cars with different trim.
Is a full equip BMW a nice first car?
>first car
>buying new
>buying bmw
>buying rwd
>buying top spec
Nice bait
>>17506087

>>17505493
>BMW
That wrap is nicely done though
Pros
>fast
>manual transmission
>god tier engine noise
Cons
>bangle era trash design
>retarded expensive to fix
>reliability is garbage
>most e60’s are now owned by nigs/spics
>most used ones are beat to shit
just get an e39 m5 or an e92 m3 famalam
>>17505595
E39 M5 reminds me of E46(I fucking hate these so much)
E92 isn't quite appealing to me, it's kinda ugly-ish :/
Might consider 750iL E38, however I'm not sure about this choice
My ex friend is trying to sue me for $1,750 and can they?
I need help because I don't know if its legal
(They don't have a license the car is their dad's and idk if it was insured at the time and I do have a license)
Because 2 months ago we had really heavy rain we're driving back to their house (me being the one driving) they told me "I know a shortcut take this street" as soon as we pulled up to the street I feel the car loose power and then it's flooded were in a foot of water, we pushed car out of the road and later that night their dad comes to help us move the car to their house a week passes by and nothing happen they told me they were gonna take it to a friend and ultimately they didn't, they told me that their dad took to one of his and they charged him 2700 for a new engine and 650 for the install and I asked them if they even try to dry it out and turn it by hand and I never got a response 2 months after that they want to take me to court to pay 1750 half of the cost am I at fault I did offer to help before but they never went through with asking me about it
Am I at fault here and can I really be sued for it
>>17505444
You type like a retard, you don't stand a chance without an attorney. It's going to cost them to sue, so they probably won't, but get some legal counsel anyway.
>>17505444
As the other guy said, you type like a dumbass.
Anyways, because it will be a "he said, she said" deal. This can get all kinds of mucky. In the end you should have used better judgement than to listen to the retard in the passenger seat during heavy rain.
That being said, since you were driving you would be liable for damage (s) because it (the car) is considered personal property.
Get legal council and never ask /o/ for legal advice.
I hope you make out of this with minimal money loss.
>>17505444
You can be sued for anything but most likely they're full of shit and won't actually file suit. They're poor enough not to have comprehensive insurance on their car so they're also poor enough not to retain an attorney who's services will likely exceed the damages they're pursuing. Are they smart enough to file a civil suit themselves? I'm guessing not and even if they are, floods are an act of God you weren't necessarily negligent for driving down a street. It's not like you ran into a mailbox or something so they would need to actively prove your liability. I know that it's something that weighs on you - I personally have a warrant for my arrest right now in West Virginia over some crooked cops and a ticket trap but until you're actually summoned to court, just ignore them or tell them if they want to contact you any more to do it by registered mail.
Calling all /o/ mechanics. Are any of you dealership scum buttmad about EVs?
No more upcharging on maintenance because Betty and Bob traded in their Mcsuburban for the latest EV car. No more oil changes, exhaust component is completely removed, gaskets, timing belts, serp. Belts etc will no longer need to be done.
How can you compete once even say a 1/3 of the drivers jump to EVs. Seems like manufacturers will push it off to the point of putting 2cyl. Motors with fat turbos in their cars for dem. MPGS.
Normies don't care about the hobby nor do most manufacturers.
pretty sure most mechanics don't care about "the hobby" either, it's just their job, typically they were teenagers that were into cars and thought it would be a good idea to become a mechanic and then they get sick of it and it becomes a chore
>>17505455
The stability of the profession is what is being questioned. Sooner or later.
is for man yes comrade Also redpill
