Is possible to own a car for over 5+ years and not get bored of it? What about 10+ years?
Yes.
I've had this piece of shit for 9 years, a clutch, a head replacement, and two timing belts and still enjoy driving it.
The trick is to have other cars so you can switch things up.

Yup...I have a 1995 GMC 4x4 short I bought in 2002...still have it, just needs a trans rebuild...
This is a used 2017 Hyundai Sonata, and the seats already look like shit
This is why beige/gray cloth seats are shit tier
>>17320441
It entirely depends on the material.
But yes Korean cars use absolutely awful seat material in cloth.
Just clean your shit
>>17320444
>thinking its about the material
Nigga fucking please
Get it

fuck tard.
>dropped this into engine bay while working on cleaning throttle body
>didn't fall through

what do, /o/?
Look harder.
>>17320179
you get 2 antennae and use them as chopsticks to get it back
>>17320179
Do a complete teardown and rebuild. Not hard.

Aimed at who exactly?
To be quite honest, the 86 would FINALLY make sense as a convertible.
I'm a first-time car buyer who just got his license.
My aunt and my grandpa each have a car they're willing to sell me, but I'm on the fence about them.
The first is my Grandpa's 2000 Cadillac Deville.
>$4500
>60k miles, only two owners
>17/24 mpg
>near perfect condition, grandpa was a mechanic and always kept it well maintained
>very light use, he rarely drives it anymore since he has so many cars now
>the only issue with it is that the leather in the driver's seat is a bit torn from old age
My main concern is that I'd be paying too much for it. Otherwise it seems like a great deal, but I'm still new to all this.
My aunt's car is a 2007 Camry LE.
>$2500
>167k miles
>24/34 MPG
>suffers from excessive oil consumption that was rampant with this model year of Camry
>would need to get an oil change every 3k miles and check on oil levels weekly
>otherwise in very good condition, never been in any accidents and no other major issues
It'd be much cheaper up front, but the oil consumption issue would require me to keep tabs on things much more often than I would need to with the Cadillac.
I can buy the Camry right now, but I'd have to wait a while before I can afford the Deville. Would it be worth waiting/saving for it?
Either car would mainly be used for driving to and from work, and not much else.
>>17319251
camry is much better than that junk northstar.
Buy $2500 Camry. Post it to craigslist for $5000-6000
Some teen girl's parents will buy it for her. Then go buy a car that isn't shit.
>>17319251
Neither. Post your local Craigslist.

In the US it's illegal to sell cars for a profit unless you have a dealer's license. You can serve up to 5 years in jail and/or a fine of $100,000 if you are caught curbstoning.
Daily reminder that if you smoke in your car you're a massive degenerate that shouldn't exist on this planet (especially if you smoke in a brand new car)
I miss smoking in my car.
i smoke in my old shitbox
i wouldnt smoke if i bought a new car tho
>smoking
Vapers are the new cool kids in town.
Grettings /o/,
So I just overfilled my car with engine oil like an asshole due to a faulty dipstick.
So far it just started dripping oil, but i'm afraid the consequences could worsen.
Will a simple oil drain fix this, or do I need to worry about engine damage already (possibly) done?
>>17318732
In all likelihood its fine. Just drain to an appropriate level and drive it.
>>17318732
Nah it's fine.
>>17318732
>Faulty dipstick

Good cars.
I've had both a sedan and coupe, love them.
Few words of advise:
Grab S trim at all costs
>Akebono BBK
>LSD
>better exhaust
>Better wheels
>Better creature comforts like adjustable seat bolstering
>Not very good mpg
>Coupe has larger Aftermarket for goodies because it shares 90% of parts with 370Z
Common issues :
>Throttle bodies get gummed up and cause idle issues. 30minutes and throttle body cleaner clears it up.
>Slave cylinder on 6MTs are a bit of an issue, doesn't cause problems, you just can't really slam shift it. Can be easily remedied by an Aftermarket kit.
>7ATs before 2011 start out a little retarded and hunt for gears a bit. A TSB for a reprogram makes it much smoother. A tune will also fix it.
Other than that, pretty reliable. They don't ask for much more than maintenance and gas.
/o/ just hates them because they know nothing about them.
>inb4 "huuuuurrrr Nissan, burns oil Lololol"
>>17318611
Had a g35 coupe for many years. Interior is...weird, but totally Nissan. I really liked the car in general.
The one thing that got to me was the exhaust...that Nissan drone. I got really tired of it after a while.
The transmission finally took a crap - previous owner had abused the car (boy racer shit...) so it finally gave out.
I'd have another one, if the exhaust weren't so annoying...
Why isn't anyone building new cars like this, just with a little updated safety, like seatbelts?
I'd buy one immediately.
The best part is, you can leave your hat on.
Cars look like the way they are today because that's the only way to get them to pass safety, mpg, and emission standards.
>>17318267
Those are inefficient, and were only made that way so they could travel on heavily rutted dirt roads.

Memo's back in the car finally, despite the continuing nerve pain. Fuck Ferrari pay drivers though, every single one of them's a shitter and shouldn't be anywhere near a race track. Lambo drivers too.

>learning manual
>keep seeing people mention using the handbrake at stops
What am I supposed to be doing? I just put it in neutrel and leave my foot on the brake.
handbrake at stops is a euro thing
just do whatever your comfortable with, not like you're wearing out the brakes or anything
From experience, OP, I can say that it helps you not stall the car when you do the whole process of launching up, and if anything happens, your car won't go backwards and hit whatever's behind it.
And because at first having the physical coordination to quickly remove your feet off the brake to the accelerator to a point you will accelerate just enough while you let go of the clutch can be hard for someone driving manual.

>the whole process of launching up
What's this?
I fucking hate this car. Why is this shit everywhere?
Cheap and gay people like them
You rang?
cheap and fun
