Why do people buy boring Japanese made-for-manlets slow cars when they can buy big fun muscle American cars for less?
Why do you make shit threads where you pretend to be retarded on purpose?

Some people don't ever pop the hood and just want something to take them from their apartment to their cubicle. Others have garages and don't mind fixing shit when it breaks.
If everyone owned a fast car then this will be a boring place.

Work in the service shop.
>>17427302
Yeah, service gets shit, too.
Working in sales can be draining if you're a genuine person who just wants to help, work towards a different position or transfer your skills to some more rewarding sales like Real Estate
Going to buy a new car in about a year, and I'm looking at the Civic Si and the Accord coupe. I've always been more drawn to civics because of price point, but I'm going to have a larger budget and want to stick with Honda. Which one would you buy? It's mostly going to be for commuting short distances and for some highway fun.

what are some must have tools for working on cars?
>>17423906
go to Lowe's and pick up a beginners automotive toolbox. it'll have pretty much the essentials in there. then get a breaker bar and torque wrench and you're ready
Go to Harbor Freight for the torque wrenches. Even without the coupons, they sell them for much less than anywhere else. Home Depot will charge you $75 for a torque wrench, HF will charge you $20 without a coupon and $10 with a coupon.
While you're there, you might as well compare their beginner toolsets with the other places too. Not sure if Lowe's offers a lifetime warranty on the tools they sell, HF does, but you have to be careful, some of the tools HF sells don't have it.
Anyone who's professional will give you grief for having HF tools, but if you're just a casual pleb, it's perfectly fine to use HF.
post your turds.
I like your turd. Tell us its story.
>>17419012

ive looked at / replaced pretty much everything attached the engine, and its in the middle of having its lower intake done.
I was hoping to bring it to the jersey meetup. but time doesnt look good
Its fucking disgusting. Whose idea was to put wood in cars?
>>17436175

There is a rumor in the neighborhood that someone sugred the tank of my vintage car that has been sitting a while on the street.
Is there anyway to find out if this is true?
>>17435744
drink the gas and find out
>>17435744
You can send a fuel sample out to be analyzed but that's a waiting game.
Just go buy a pump and drain the tank through the filler cap and go get new gas.

Why Nissan is so ahead of everyone when it comes to technology?
I don't see which technology they would be ahead but come on try to prove your point.

Because they make their cars really cheap and shitty so no one notices.
Hiya /o/
I'm gonna purchase a motorcycle soon, my very first one actually. (Honda Rebel 500)
I did all the homework I could on it and know about the pros and cons of it.
I contacted my local dealership about a quote.
Instead of a quote they got me to agree to come in and see it for myself.
I really wanted a quote, so I come to you guys for help.
How do I haggle exactly?
The bike's MSRP is $5,999.
A good price, but I wanna try to get it at a lower, obviously.
Thank you /o/

please buy a cheap used one. You will end up letting it fall over or will neglect its maintenance badly because you're a newbie
Get an old used hornet 600, you will save loads of money, you will have a more powerful machine and you won't feel as bad when you get it scraped.
>>17435335
Yea I don't want to shit on you too but...
Buy a used bike. You might not be into riding like you think you are. Buy your first bike used. Please.
What driving game is most accurate and would help me pass a driving test in the United States?
I do not have much time behind the wheel since my parents are too lazy to supervise me (permit drivers need a licensed driver in the vehicle with them).
My test is in one month btw
GTA V
>>17435188
This or any other grand theft auto game
The getaway if you own a ps2. If I remember the game has turn signals and stuff. Is pretty cool. Have to drive on the wrong side of the road though
Burnout 2 or NFS Hot Pursuit 2, either way this song will help.

Is it dangerous to leave your car on while pumping gas?
I have to tell people to turn their shit off constantly where i work. Pisses people off. But im just following rules and word of mouth that it's "dangerous" since im uninformed.
Not really, but y'know... better safe than sorry, and it's not really inconvenient.
same thing as no cellphones in airplanes.

I think this comes from the fuel pump being running and the possibilities of a spark igniting the vapour and the air that's coming into the fuel cap.
Sort of. Electrical spark could ignite the fumes, technically, but, it would be a freak accident.
But really, you have to be a pig to leave your car running while pumping gas. The thing isn't being driven, so turn it off. I'm not even a green-save-the-planet type but that's just wasteful. Sure one asshole doing it doesn't add up to much of anything, but you get the whole Burgerland doing that and it does add up.
In Germany you'll get yelled at just for leaving your car on parked in a neighborhood while using your phone.
can this be fixed or is this wheel fucked? :(
>>17434933
I think its fucked bro
Bad luck
>>17434933
You could have someone smooth it out, but I doubt they could match it to like new. Looks like a stock wheel, just buy a used one off ebay.
you'll want to replace that tire before you kill someone
How did we go from this
to this?
It's like design and regulations change over time or something. I wonder why a 1990s taurus is different than one from 2017. Great thread

nobody actually thinks that 2nd bike looks good though.
>"muscle" car

you'll find the car is also pigfat
