To be completely honest, I'm taking it out of the dealership tomorrow.
I drove around a bit with the 1.0L Turbo version and it's pretty sweet. Better than my old C3 1.6L, for sure. I'm poor as fuck though, so the one I bought doesn't come with the turbo engine. I drove it a bit and it's nice too.
The interior is so fucking simple though.
I was hoping to see some opinions of people who own one too. I had to get a new car because my old one was falling apart.

Its a decent car, not particularly fun but practical for the size, gets good fuel economy and will move you from A to B
What is the best shift pattern?

Exp/o/sing Quick Lube Chains
Former Employee edition
I'll go first
>Work at shitty quick lube chain
>Grease Monkey, Brighton Colorado (the east Bromley store)
>have several years of experience in quick lube chains, somewhere close to 4 years
So here is the bad, the worse, and the ugly
The bad:
Every employee, except the cunt manager, is underpaid. Corporate grease monkey doesn't feel they should pay employees a flat rate, so they base it off of store performance. HOWEVER, I worked for 6 consecutive months at minimum wage (in spite of being the lead technician) while helping push the store to the #1 selling store in the Midwest. I asked for a raise, and was told that I would not get one. When I asked for that I was being considered for assistant manager, but they didn't feel like changing my pay rate. I could bitch and moan about pay, but that's to be expected of quick lubes. Low pay shit hours
The worse:
Due to the managers shit work ethic, we would consistently lie about computer systems being down and or being out of supplies. This normally wouldn't be a huge deal for the employees, but the upper management groups were aware of this and never corrected it. Meaning, they truly do care about maintaining a business, at the most simple level, they don't care about providing services to the customer and would rather lie to them.
The ugly:
Here's where it actually gets ugly. Scare tactics are common in quick lubes, but BOTH Brighton locations for grease monkey take it too far. To the point that several elderly customers have been left crying because of the price or what was said to them. In certain instances, cars have been "held hostage" to the point the customer gives up and gives in to the demands of the workers. As far as corporate was concerned, we were meeting sales numbers. Next on the ugly is filters. We had service champ as our filter provider. I have never seen cheaper filters in my life. Absolute garbage. (1 of many)

(2nd part) the canister (cartridge filters) would frequently disintegrate and we would have to pull the fucked up pieces apart. The spin on filters would have gaskets break or crack a few days after being put on. Drain plugs were frequently put in without a gasket or they would be put in and sealed with tamper seal because they were not the right size. Temp plugs were throwin into vehicles we fucked up but didn't want to pay for the fix on. Skid plates left off, if a customer complained about it we would throw another one on from our back room. Cars would get started with no oil because of miscommunication and services were frequently half assed or not performed. In the state of Colorado, its illegal to sell services based off of fluid color, but that doesn't stop the manager. Double gasketing filters would happen all of the time and cars would leave like that. Sometimes canister filters wouldn't get put back in and their housing would. And it would leave. If a filter was too difficult, especially toyotas, we would 1/4 quart it or 1/2 quart it so that way he old one could stay in. we would keep a set of broken Toyota filter caps so we could scare customers into buying new metal ones. In a few instances, we fucked up the threads on those filter caps and RTV'd them back in so the car wouldn't leak. If it was a fleet vehicle we would perform services that weren't even due and charge the fleet account just to keep a high ticket average. If we actually ran out of supplies, we would fill vehicles up with whatever we had. Sometimes it was mystery oil (0/20 5/20 5/30 mixed together) some customers would pay for our full synthetic and because of low inventory we would put lower grades in. The list goes on
The only bit of good news:
If I worked on your vehicle, you never had a problem as I never had a customer return with a problem
And if you did manage to catch us in our endless fuckups, you got several free oil changes

What does /o/ think of the first gen boxster s?
Test drove it the other day and it felt kinda nice, I know its got an issue with the IMS bearings and they look ugly stock but I like the looks with the RUF bumper pic related.
rn I have a Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo, its engine is a charm but the rest of the car can be underwhelming.

Is an electric bike the ultimate vehicle? I know that only pretentious bearded faggots own stuff like this, but think about it:
>can ride it on the sidewalk, the road, the wrong way, across the street, through pedestrian zones, etc
>highly portable, can be transported by a car or on a bus or train
>no safety regulations
>no inspections
>no registration
>no insurance
>cheap to own, maintain and ride
Now I know that at least in Europe the law requires production electric bikes to provide boost only under 25 kph, but there's no reason you couldn't mod or create a custom system that bypasses that requirement. Who the fuck is gonna check?
And then there's of course rain and snow, but well...
Other than that it's the ultimate vehicle to avoid the traffic jews.

You can't ride electric bikes on mtb trails, so thats a huge pain in the ass, besides, if you simply mod an existing bike, you don't even need to follow the 25 kph rule, there are certain kits for this, and if you ever want to shred you just need to bolt it off

Good cars but near impossible to find in decent shape.

They certainly hold their value better than the 4th gen camaros. Other than body panels and small interior differences, they will have exactly the same problems as a 4th gen SS/Z28.
Half the engine is under the firewall. Literally half of it. I love the way f-bodies look but I hate everything else about them. Great engine, shit chassis.

Is the RX8 really as inefficient as everyone likes to point out? 18mpg sounds like it came straight from the 1970s
Is there anyway to increase its MPG/install a secondary fuel tank?
