soo what is your opinion on lada niva for me and my family is the best offroad veichle for our terrain in Slovenia. it's also a good veichle on our farm and light and small but can go pretty fast on dirt/rocky roads.

breaks down constantly, cheap parts don't really help much when you have to replace them every two weeks or so
Also you'll get buffed up arms while steering, chugs gasoline like a motherfucker
but yeah for that price, you can't get better offroad car

Most of the people who are into those swap out the engine for something that actually runs, I think

Australian moving to the US as a residency here
Looking to buy a reliable van as a daily, however I dont know whats cheap in the US (under $10,000usd or even cheaper?)
if I were buying here it would be a secondhand Ford Transit or Hiace (pic related)
Looking for midsize (again pic related) and idealy no Windows incase I use it for camping/ loose women
Besides reliability i dont mind too much

Ford Transit Connect. Or get pic related.
You should be able to get either one for less than 10k.
>>
>>17550709
I know you want the Hiace but that van ain't sold here. However you could find older 1990 ones.
>>
>>17550715
I'd pick Savana because this one is just too reliable.

Been thinking about selling my Harley for something faster, more nimble, and just all around more fun on the twisties where I'm from. I'll be using the bike for small commutes and occasional 2-4 hour rides on the back roads. I love the looks of the fz09 but I like the increased performance of the fz10. I want something relatively comfortable. I'm 6'3" and 235 pounds. Just looking to see if anyone here had experience with either of these and what your thoughts are on them

I've seen that video and that guy shreds. I used to have an 08 Dyna fxd that was easy to ride fast like that but I switched to a 15 road glide and it's loads different. Heavier and slower by a lot. It's not as much fun to ride. Thought I'd use it more for trips but that never happened. This time around I wanna mix it up and go with something more sportbike oriented but that's a little more comfortable for commuting to work/school

I have respect for donks.
Even though I dislike the way these cars look they are still more interesting than 99 percent of cars on the road.
It's cool when someone is keeping an old monte carlo on the road.
It sucks when someone is buying a brand new carmy and putting another ugly shit heap on the road.

Why didn't GM bring this stateside as a new Pontiac Fiero?
Yes, I know they were built by Lotus.

This and it probably would have cost too much to bring it up to US standards.

No. The Sky/GT replaced them in the European market. From 2002 to 2006, there was no US equivalent.
>>17547041
>Vauxhall VX220/Opel Speedster were sister cars to Lotus Elise and the Tesla Roadster

>Use 2.0L turbo version from US market Saab 9-3 in place of the European 2.0L turbo variant in order to meet US emission on the turbo model cheaply
Bringing it to US standards is NOT why Lotus stopped selling the Elise stateside. It's because Toyota refused to make the 2ZZ-GE engine for them anymore and Lotus couldn't afford to homologate an engine themselves. They are selling in the US again using a supercharged version of the 2ZR-FE from the Corolla though.

So I the rice from you guys is making me want to buy a JDM for a DD.
Looking at Silvias and R32s.
One thing I've noticed is that buying one from an importer in Japan seems to be a few grand cheaper than buying one from an importer who has stock stateside.
Is there a reason for this, and is it a good idea to buy like this?
The R32 GTR seems much cheaper having it shipped yourself.
Also whats with US importers listing cars newer than 1992?

I am unsure what to do. I recently found out that a regular customer from our shop used to compete very high level karting and is a good mechanic. He also had several sponsors and contacts that helped him out. It's my childhood dream to put on a racing suit and race other people but I knew nobody and I'm not that knowlegeable about mechanic.
The other option is that his friend is selling a 1987 Monte Carli SS like pic related for 6.5k$ but the customer guy said he would rather ask 4k.
What do? Is a racing season worth it? Or should I just settle for the Monte Carlo?

Is that the Monte Carlo? With that blower on it and that paint? I'd go for that definitely. You'll get more recognition and you can still compete with it at drag racing if you still have that itch

>>17545347
>blower

>>17545360
Classic cars have blowers, especially if they're top mounted centrifugal with intakes sticking out of the hood like that. You can call your Roush whatever you want.

Why does /o/ hate scooters when these are the ultimate city vehicle?
>cheap
>easy to ride
>saves a lot of gas compared to cars and motorcycles
>can park anywhere
>light
>50cc engines can reach inner city speed limits without a problem
>125cc engines can reach up to 110 kmh.
Compared to motorcycles in the city the scooter wins hands down.
So why do you hate them?

Because they're electronically or mechanically limited to 45 kph (as if 50 or 55 kph would've been too dangerous) in half the fucking continent, meaning they still hold up traffic. And they're loud and smoggy. What we need are buyer incentives for electric scooters instead of richfag Teslas.

>>
>>17544291
Moped technically is entirely the wrong term because it refers to a motor assisted pedal vehicle. Whenever scooters are discussed it's automatically assumed that the 50cc models are meant because you need a light motorcycle license for scooters above 50cc meaning there's nobody to fucking buy 125cc scooters. The only country I know of where scooters above 50cc are moderately successful is Japan.
