Please help.
Am in Florida about to have hurricane come through where should I park my car?
Is op good place? Next to house but under trees
>>17855108
Take your car and all of your irreplacable possessions and get out of state.
Rent a hotel/motel and wait it out
>>17855108
Had it parked there first but my landlord said maybe here in open is better but there's power line by street and obviously trees everywhere at least op was next to building as a buffer
What do?
>>17855121
Too late for that.
Dont think thats necessary but fucking trees fall here just in a reg thunderstorm so just want to keep my car safe

What can you tell me about this Chad chariot? I can get either this or a brand new MX-5.
>>17855099
plastic engine parts, require a $7k service to repair every 90k miles
>>17855118
Really? The one I'm looking at has a hair over 50k miles.
>>17855099
Ask the seller: Have your car serviced regularly and keep track of the car's maintenance schedule? Ask him to provide receipts from car washes, oil changes, tune-ups, tire rotations and other services that demonstrate long-term vehicle care.
Otherwise, go to MX-5

oh hi alphonse
I want to have something fast and exotic as my next car, but I also want something that won't break the bank.
Should I buy something reliable and make owning a nice car a harder to reach dream for the future or should I buy something nice and risk spending alot of money?

What's your budget?
>been driving since I was 18 (23 now)
>some habits people might call "autistic" when driving
>e.g when making a turn, slowing down from flowing traffic, or making delicate maneuvers like merging into traffic/parking I turn down the music because I feel more intune with my surroundings that way
>went out cruising yesterday
>parents in car with me
>gonna make a right turn into heavy moving two-lane freeway traffic
>taking my time to assess situation on when to merge
>see a spot coming about to go
>loud "NOW" comes from dad in passenger seat
>get spooked and merge but go a little too far on go over opposing lane, luckily no oncoming car at that time
>start getting shit from dad saying how I'm gonna crash and need to be a better judge of driving situations
>tell him I was under control of the situation until he decided to spook me causing my left foot to make the clutch jump
>"nah I saw a mile away you were gonna overshoot"
>tell him of course anyway would get jumpy if a peanut gallery is always dictating how to drive
>start swaying the car left and right to make point across how when you drive and people tell you shit you do mistakes
>today mom tells me dad told her he feels offended by my actions and that I disrespected him by making the car move side to side
>says when I tell 'em to go on a trip again (my idea to go cruising) he won't go
>tell her fine I don't need people being in my ear all the time about my driving, it's better to drive alone
It's always the same shit with them. Whenever we go on long distance trips and I decide to help with the driving it's "you're driving too slow! speed up! you're following closely! DON'T YOU SEE THE BREAK LIGHTS SLOW DOWN"
For god's sake I've had my license for almost 5 years. Two of those years it's a GODDAMN CLASS A. I'm not a bottom of the barrel asian/woman/oldgeezer driver. I know how to get from point A to point B safely. It's never ending with these two. Fuck passengers
Anyway, stupid passenger thread I guess.

Sounds like you have a weird relationship with your parents
@17854826

Well my little brother is out to college and they're kinda depressed since he's only here every two weeks on weekends so I thought I'd cheer them up by going on a cruise on the coast highway and eating good bbq. Guess I learned my lesson.
Might pick up this shitbox for ~£600. It's a 2002 Hyundai Accent 1.3 litre with 60k miles. What am I in for?
>>17854775
2005 not 2002
An utterly joyless experience
>>17854791
Why? It'd be my first so I can't go any higher engine cap, from what I've read they are fairly reliable and I can pick them up for cheap
Find a flaw.

the two god tier vans have finally met and prepare to do battle
best van incoming
Should I buy one?
>>17854751
Yes
>>17854751
Yep.
I'd probably favour a Rocket Three, but the V-Max is a very close second.
>>17854765
>>17854779
Would it be good for cruising, tho? I think it would be funny to slap saddlebags on it.
How come you don't like drifting /o/?
Have any of you been to a drift event as a participant or spectator?
It's OK
>>17854756
elaborate mate
>>17854748
>How come you don't like drifting /o/?
I personally don't like it because it isn't a competition to get to the finish line first like Initial D would have you believe, it is a fucking beauty pageant with judges and shit. fuck that

I was thinking more along the lines of "I vape, have capeshit or metal stickers all over my car, and have generally never seen a dumbell in my entire life"

Post your back seat
>2 seaters need not apply
>>17854507
bump I guess
>leaving your back seats in
>implying you have any passengers to carry
remove them for more cargo space and reduced weight
>>17854507

I replaced my fuel filter today. My dad yelled at me for letting gas drip on the road and making a stain.

Put a tarp down next time anon or find a friend with a driveway that he doesn't care about
it will evaporate
>>17854506
>tarp
Good idea m8. I'll try that in 60,000 miles.
>>17854508
Will it really? I've never done anything with gas before, not even pumping my own gas (jerseyfag here)
So what does /o/ intend to do to avoid the massive influx of water damaged used cars that will surely flood the US second hand market for many years to come?
It's not enough to avoid all used cars found in Texas and Florida, cars can be moved easily, what are you doing to protect yourself from flood damaged cars?

Your caretaker let you use the computer again?
My miata was a hurricane Katrina flood car, I bought it with a hole in the roof, moldy carpeting, and a mud-caked underside... But it's fucking fine and has zero rust.
>>17854411
All I know is here in montana one of my friends get ass raped by a Katrina car.
He did succeed in suing the lot though because they lied about it having a clean title
Appliance car aka the boring bossy ben.

Figured i'd still ask here and not reddit.
the nicest Civic or Corolla you can find
>>17854379
Get a diesel golf or passat or something.
i have a diesel skoda octavia which is just a golf underneath and it's a great daily.
55mpg without even trying and fun enough to not want to kill myself.
>>17854379
post you local craigslist. why do you want an automatic?
Is he, dare I say it, /ourguy/?
>>17854361
No, pic related is, it has been discussed many times
>>17854387
