>>17873886
This kills the envirocuck Tesla shill
no skyactiv gets that much mpg
its just a bunch of high compression engines with low power anyway
>2 bitches who weigh over 300 pounds get in your car at the same time

>>17873867
It's not the end of the world for a car to weigh 3000 pounds anon
>>17873867
Well quit hauling your mom and sister around all the time. Problem solved.
>>17873867
I did that once and all it meant was that I had to wait longer to shift gears. Upside: more time spent in the power band.
Its got a full Invidia exhaust and sounds sexy but how do i get it to attract all the hot bitches
>>17873717
Mate. You need to floss your wrx.
>>17873717
it's impossible with a subaru OP
>>17873717
Unless it's over 100K the driver attracts the girl, not the car.

what is that image supposed to prove?
that a 367hp 3 cyl is just as fast as a 564hp V8?
>>17873656
Absolutely shocking logic from this namefag. End yourself
>>17873656
>a 3cyl engine beats a 564hp v8
anon what did you mean by this

For when you want an Avalanche but want it to be more expensive so you can feel better about not actually using it for utility purposes.
can slow econboxes be fun to drive too?
I was looking for something fun, reliable and fuel efficient for under 7k
been searching for months but theres always something wrong that gets in the way
maybe what im looking for doesn't exist
should I just get something that does 0-100 in 11-12 secs and get something else in a few years? can it be fun as long as its manual?
for example i found a 2010 skoda octavia 1.9 diesel with 50k km for 7k euro
it looks comfy in the inside even has camera for reverse
the vw engine is known to be good
only problem is that its "slow"
what do u think /o/?

>can slow econboxes be fun to drive too?
Yes. But most of the modern shitboxes I've driven are awful snorefests, so you'll have to go try them out.
My first car was an early 80s Mazda 323 with 1.5L. Top speed 80MPH until I added enough stickers to get it to hold 85MPH. But it was it made a rough road at 30MPH feel like a roller coaster, and highway speeds felt like you might die. No power steering - best steering feel I've ever felt. Had to drive it like racecar 90% of the time to keep up with traffic.
>>17873302
only thing I drove is an old w123 2 years ago learnt manual with it hope its better than that
>>17873261
Slow car fast is more fun than fast car slow. With a weak car, you can floor it and shift at redline and not break the speed limit. Most any car is fun to drive in the twisties.
Tfw the perfect touge is literally the path you take to your house but everyone knows it's your car and would call the police if they caught you driving like a retard
Why live?
>>17873247
I drive a bright red MR2 SW20 Turbo in a small community. I understand this feel perfectly.
What do you drive?
>>17873280
Before I say I want to say that:
>it has 30k original miles when I bought it
>it was dealer serviced for everything possible
>it was drove one month out of the year in the summer by some old couple for 10 yrs and the rest of the time kept in a high class storage place
Now with all that out of the way it's a 2001 Ford Mustang V6
Mustangs aren't all that popular where I live and I too live in a small town so word gets around of a new edge flying around town pretty quick..

WTF I thought he was /ourguy/? I thought racers dont have gf's???
he was never, ever /our guy/
/our guy/ is either an anime loser who lives with his mom and works at a gas station, or a balding hot rod magazine ex-editor in chief who keeps wrecking shitboxes and/or doing 300mph at the salt flats

>>17873116
You realize all of those cars at that price point will be on their 4th ethnic owner? Even the "3k meme cars" are a fucking mess at that price point. The meme needs to die.

Why is it I see so many anons on here from certain states in America bitch or make fun of other states that have strict emissions or tuning restrictions when it comes to cars?
When in Japan, anything that doesn’t pass the Japanese vehicle inspection code including the removal of the catalytic, excessive vehicle lowering, unsafe safety equipment, unauthorized engine modifications, yet they have a bunch of tuning companies that work within the law and make these giant high horsepower monsters.
Is it because Americans car enthusiasts (for the most part) drive outdated V8's?
Phoenix Power and Top Secret come to mind.

No they don't you mongoloid lmao. They inspect and plate those cars at their own personal shops. Of course a car with no airbags, 900hp and one seat isn't fucking legal.
>>17872993
Because Americans think 26Hp/L is good.

I saw this shit happen today. I was on the sidewalk and got mad anyway. I dont know how i could have reacted if that fuck blocked my way. I started thinking about carrying a knife in my car.
accelerate my shitbox faster, i'll make some dosh from his insurance

Happened to me with a boomer in his range rover. Had to brake so hard it skid since i was going 45 and he merged slow as fuck and then he flipped me off when i honked.

and yet people on /o/ complain about slow drivers. this is just another reason i am a slow driver.

t. retards that can't take a joke
2019 Honda EV
The car itself is almost square. It's 100 mm (3.9 in) shorter than the (already small) Fit,car will be in Europe in 2019
>>17872711
The wheels need to be about a foot smaller in diameter
>>17872711
Isn't this just a concept? Who cares?
Unless there's some EV car loophole where they can look like whatever the fuck they want I don't see it looking even half as interesting if it becomes a production
