>tfw no car guy friends

It also has shit reliability, crazy repair costs, and is super over engineered to the point where it's not really repairable by the average person. Huge nightmare to own, especially out of warranty.
It does look futuristic as hell though.

Best looking BMW currently for sale. Other than that, literally no reason to buy it, especially at it's price point

for like $60k I would want one. Esp with new regular front tires.

Do you live in a climate where they salt the roads in the winter?

>>17411289
Yes. I do have an under guard so whatever is getting in there is minimal ad through the grille.

That corroded and broken ground strap is a bigger issue. However, there is paint that can withstand high heat.

>62000 miles
who cares. come back at 161000km

this kills the car

>>17411067
It's it a VW... That's an accomplishment.

Its American and a miata is an all around better car.

>>17410898
I don't have a problem with Miats but they don't go 'burblburblburbl' instead of 'bzzzz.'

>>17410898
>miata
>better


HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

the fuck man, black? the hood is supposed to be black to stop glare, and the roof white to keep heat out

did you sand before painting?

doesnt look like you put even coats on. I used black on the silver trim on my car and it came out pretty good. Then again it was only a little bit of plasti dip.

/o/ isn't the best place for this.

most people here are either underage w/ no car, drive an econobox, or drive "sports car" on the street.

very little actual spirited driving goes on here

you're better off asking lit

>>17410754
Write some bullshit about him beimg able to feel the grip of the tires through the steering wheel. That way he can push the car to its limit without understeering.

>>17410754
Just watch Initial D. Shoehorn the ''fujiwara zone'' into your story.

There is a statute of limitations from what I remember when the same happened to me, but either way I wouldn't worry about it.

Win or lose, you should be fine unless it was for something like drunk driving.

I'm not really sure about any of it. I just know my insurance company called and told me they were being sued by the woman.

She waited 3 months after the accident and made sure I was at fault. She's a fucking cunt. She was fine and dandy at the scene of the accident even though I was the one who got cut up and bruised. She didn't have a single scratch and was walking around fine and her latest Facebook photos show her at celebration events all happy and smiling.

I think she is just after a pity check, but I don't know how much she is actually going to get if she wins, which she probably will considering she probably hired one of those "injury" lawyers on TV for her "back pains".

Women really do need to be legally banned from driving

I was in Brussels for a while recently, there were Twingos absolutely everywhere.
I was disappointed in that I wanted to see cool euro sports cars and hot hatches: I think I saw one Megane RS and one Clio RS the whole time I was there. I saw more imported Mustang GTs than euro sports cars actually.

I saw quite a few near the nurburgring

no, but

seeing as its a 2004 excursion, i assume its not a 7.3 but a 6.0?

if its a 6.0 you really messed up

>>17410507
Dont try to fearmonger OP like that. The 6.0l is a bulletproof engine once you get done rebuilding the entire engine with better parts.

>>17410484
I kind of feel sorry for the Excursion. It's literally just an F250 with a bed topper on, but it gets shat on all the time for being huge. The new F250 is even bigger but nobody seems to care.

because it's real

because it's a shitbox designed for going from a to b every day without breaking

>>17410462
it's a 2.0l and I don't like driving turbos which would be the only way to get those numbers

>>17410454
Look into doing parts delivery for someone like O'Reilly or (dare I say it) Autozone.

>>17410454
Go pizza or go home.

>>17410454
Find a chinese food place, preferably in a wealthy area, that will pay you under the table. You'll need to use your own car, though.

I hope you don't live in CA and have to smog it. It's a nightmare finding working old smog components.

I got a 71 that I'm restoring
What are your plans

Of course. The government is your friend.

Only LOLbertarians and "sovereign citizens" wouldn't consent to a search of their property.

I've learned that any video like this is by default 1000% the fault of the retarded person behind the camera and the cop is often extremely by the book and conservative with how they handle the situation. I'm not even gonna bother watching

>>17410250
Depends. There is nothing wrong with my car and it has no illegal mods. If I was in California or Australia though, no thanks. CARB is the dumbest shit ever, for example the 04ish Mustang GT Vortech supercharger kit is CARB legal on a Mustang, but not on a Crown Vic despite being the same fucking engine only because Vortech didn't pay the CARB jews to certify it for the Crown Vic too.

Australia requires a engineers certificate for extensive modifications like engine swaps. I don't have experience with them being a burger but I bet they're not cheap.
