6'5" and long legged here, fitting in cars sucks bad, I fit even worse than Jeremy Clarkson. I DD a Traverse and it works OK, but want a fun car for the weekends.
I like the look of the foxbody and it seems a good sweet spot for fun/cost, but have never sat in one, am expecting a let down. Quick question as I begin hunting my project car,
1. Any fun sports cars 1980-2004 that aren't murder for tall people? Assume budget of 3k before mods and beauty work, and willing to do some spending to fuck with the dashboard if the overall cabin dimensions could work.
2. Any 1968-1996 landbarges especially good for tall people? Assume same budget, less on mods and beauty shit maybe.

Anybody else love bench seats? They're just so damn cozy looking.

I prefer bucket seats. It's like a rigid 6'4" buff dude holding on to you as you do a squat max. You just feel secure and supported as you go around a bend, feeling every bump and contour of the road.

My ass loves a big soft bench seat, it's like sitting on a pillow. Buckets are good but I don't always want to be firmly gripped by my seat. Sometimes I just want a nice cruise on a couch.

You're good.
I actually moved to New York from California, and we're had a hell of a time because of this problem and then some. You have to do a smog ``emission'' test within 10 days of registering your vehicle no matter what.

Nigger is lying, you need a smog check every time you sell or buy a vehicle and the previous smog check last exactly 90 days

That's not a V8, that's a V6 with two cylinders tacked on. No replacement for displacement, kiddo.

Well my Vapemobile is acting up at the worst time. Yesterday I was on the way to Tennessee from South Carolina because of Irma and while driving through the mountains my car started to rev high but I lost the ability to accelerate fast. I think the clutch is done. All the mechanic shops are closed for the weekend and the ones that are open are saying they can't get parts until Monday. For now I'm renting a car, but when I go back I need to take my WRX with me will she make it? I don't have the luxury of waiting it out.

Why don't we use turbochargers to generate the electricity needed by the car?
We use waste exhaust gas to enhance the engine combustion efficiency, but efficiency-wise wouldn't having all electricity generated from exhaust gasses without any alternator be a better configuration?
Am I missing some gotchas?

i cant wait for self driving cars, it means stacy wont be behind the wheel with her cellphone and no doubt there will still be manufacturers willing to capture the enthusiast audience

I say let the texting, phoning, eating normies buy self driving cars. As long as manual driving doesn't get outlawed.

So I'm buying a 1999 Tahoe for a pretty good price, but there's a few things wrong with it.
>They say the fuel pump is going out
I don't this this is the case since it still sprays fuel on the ground when I turn the key to let it prime. I think it's old fuel lines that needed to be replaced before the current owner screwed them up.
>They say it needs injectors
I never got an answer on why they think this, and given the possible fuel pump problem it seems unwise to try to diagnose something like that until the fuel delivery has been corrected.
>They say overdrive doesn't work
Now this they weren't too clear on if it's not shifting past 2 at all, or if just overdrive isn't working, or if it put itself into limp mode.
The advice I'm looking for right now is on the transmission, since from what I've researched it's likely not a solenoid, but may not require a whole new transmission either, especially given the fact it hasn't been driven since the first sign of problems.

buy a mint one instead.
>>
>>17849010
Other than the few minor issues I stated this one is near mint. I'm going to end up doing a pretty minimal amount of cosmetic work to it, but it doesn't have the standard GM rocker panel rust, or any notable rust underneath especially given it's age.
>>
>>17848969
If you have $400-1,000+ to get a remanufactured transmission and $500+ to get the fuel system reworked i'd say go for it. The transmission is on it's way out and 4l60e's are noctorious for this. If it has a misfire check the spark plugs/wires and distributor. I wouldn't pay more than $1,500 if it has those issues, how many miles? If you can get a reliable mechanic to look over the truck before you invest into a GM moneypit.
