i have no friends
sending out job applications for jobs in another city so i can leave place
just about to leave to cruise around in my ecobox and laugh at cucks driving expensive German cars and stupid trucks. Literally using the gas that was left over from this weeks commute and I will probably still have enough to get around till Monday. Also going to check out this local new vegetarian spot. Not a vegetarian myself but I have been hearing these bean burgers they make are pretty good. Also home made fries..yum.Then gunna go check out a meet with a decent mix of hypermilers, ev's and your clean shitbox clan . I hear a fresh Suzuki foresaw or w.e its called is going to be there and it has like 5k miles on it and is owned by the former dealer who keeps it garaged.

Turbo V6's are clearly better than V8's for track performance. Why would you want extra weight if you're trying to create a lightweight track vehicle?
>>17457649
I will fuck your asshole raw if you make one more shitpost
>>17457649
true
>>17457649
you are not wrong
Anyone like Cadillacs? Thinking about pulling the trigger on one of these. 300hp V8, comfy heated leather seats, and most of them are pretty much dirt cheap these days ($2000-6000 for a decent one.)
>>17457257
You're not worried about the electronics?

Post louvres.
How did they fuck up so badly? I think it's time to get rid of the shitty pushrods in the corvette.
Because the driver was an idiot.
They would've placed so much higher if their driver wasn't a retard.
>>17456696
they forgot to fit the recalls in the last pit stop. that was the result. LOL
I think its time to get rid of the current shitty power and displacement restrictions so the GT can have a V8 again.
How many miles is too much for a 4cyl ranger? Found a 95 with 120k something miles for $2.5k
>>17456691
Mileage is kind of irrelevant when dealing with older cars
>>17456691
2003+ is way better.
>>17456691
That's barely driven. My Ranger has 250K miles.
>tfw want to rally race
>tfw live in the US
My only options are NASA Rallysport or Rally America. Rally America caters to professional teams while NASA Rallysport is more hobbyist/car-meetup crowd. But both require a lot of traveling and only have a couple events each year. Rally racing can't catch on soon enough in the US. It's growing, but God, I want it to be more widespread NOW.
>>17456596
Can you afford to do it though?
>>17456605
Yeah, I got the money. I already worked out how much everything from the car to the trailer to the travelling would cost and it's within budget with money to spare for the unexpected. It's just a matter of popularity.
>>17456596
JUST
I'll start

Chevrolets

Thinking of buying a car over the state line. Its a manual, and i have no experience at all with manual. Im gonna teach myself in a parking lot for an hour and then drive back 100 miles on the interstate. Any thoughts?
>>17455747
Interstate driving in a manual car is piss easy, since you'll hardly ever have to shift.
>>17455747
If you care about cars at all you'll drive manual without stalling within 5 days of practice, as long as you get used to easing off the clutch really slowly
You will shift smoothly in 1 1/2 weeks, maybe sooner if you get the hang of it.
The #1 advice though for learning is to not shit yourself if you stall. Just stay calm, put it into neutral and restart. If people don't understand, it's their problem, not yours.
>>17455747
Just give it more gas than you'd otherwise need to when you let off the clutch going into first. You can either spin or stall and a little tire chirp isn't a problem as long as your not trying to get out of a parking space.
Where is the best place to buy old police cars? Are they worth it? Should I look for different bureaus for less wear and tear?
I'd like to buy a police spec Tahoe to drive around town and cut through traffic. Try-hard, yes. But it would be bad ass.
>>17453550
you have to be 18 to post here.
>>17453609
what about people over 18?
>>17453609
dickbag I'm 28. People have been actively buying cop cars since before your pissant ass was born.
Ever seen blues brothers?
>bmw 325i
>"it over heated and needs a head gasket"
>"starts and runs" "But plug fowling causes hesitation"
Should I even bother? If I can get it for cheap and replace the head gasket, what are the odds that it fucked something else up?
No.
>>17453437
The odds are about 80% youll spend minumin 2k in repairs
>buying a bmw out of warrenty
Good job OP ur learning the hard way
So some asshole backed in to my 02 Passat wagon, and drove off... But they hit it hard, and well now it's dead. Well now I'm getting a new car, and I now have a project car.
So in memory of my shit box can we get a station wagon love thread going?
