alright /o/tists, I need your help finding my next car.
I'm a firefighter/emt and my car is my response vehicle from wherever I am to the scene, and my beloved 9c1 Impala is dying. frame is rusted through and the trans doesn't like first gear anymore. the real question is what is a compelling replacement that has:
>fwd or awd, awd preferred bc snow
>sedan
>fast acceleration, don't really care about top end
>auomatic (because the peons moving my car can't into stick)
>won't look stupid with a 49" lightbar on the hood
is there anything other than a legacy GT that will do the trick?

If you ride in the city it should be fine. Once begineer bikes fully depreciate they hold their value because people will want to start on them. If you need to ride on the highway alot you should get a 600. You would need to practice alot in an open area with no traffic until you fully understand the clutch and throttle response. Only you can decide if you want to start on a 600 or something else.

>>17290576
Very smart thinking. I feel like 250cc is the perfect balance to me and its mainly for the city and short trips. Im mainly worried about the high amount of kms on the bike. Or is that just me?
>>
>>17290384
for 2000 canadian pesos that's a good deal, assuming it isn't bashed to hell. You should get that money back when you resell it for something bigger

Is there a car you want to own and lovingly care for even though you know it's an underperforming shitpile backed by an image worthy of being called criminally misleading and a joke that it was brought to market in the first place?

I kinda want a brz as well. I wouldn't mind driving.
I guess the closest thing I would want is a type R. Super hated already and it's probably overhyped by those who do like hondas and people think it's ugly but I really want one. I actually like the aggressive look, just wish it was a little less bubbly looking from the side.

So I'm looking at buying an e90 335i. How much can I realistically expect to spend on maintaining it?
Would it be any safer/less costly to maintain if I replace the water pump, thermostat and hpfp when I buy it instead of waiting for failure?
I understand the 335i can be expensive, but I can't seem to find anywhere which lists the scope of maintenance costs.
>>
>>17286987
hpfp is under warranty for cars under 130k miles. water pump + thermostat is $500 if you replace them yourself. check for oil leaks, usually the oil filter housing gasket/valve cover gasket/ and oil filter housing to oil cooler gaskets get fucked at 60k+ miles. Stay away from high wastegate rattle if you can and treat your turbos well and they won't go out before 150k miles. N54's are more reliable than other bimmers if you aren't stupid.

I'm a poor highschool student who can't afford a new car at the current moment (I work at McDonald's to give you an idea) and can't buy another car at the moment. I did a 180° when I drove too close to the edge of the road over/went over a shady wet spot, and hit a mailbox.

Mulholland Drive.
I try to drive it at least every other day or so. It only has around 6 lights for its whole 15 miles, so if you can catch a time where it's fairly empty, you can really tear shit up.
Unfortunately, that's really only late at night or ass early in the morning.

Brit here. We never got the GT350(R) despite the Mustang eco-boost and GT being a massive success over here.
With the cars finishing production in 2018, and the future of the Voodoo V8 unknown, are dealers still charging $30,000 over MSRP? I'm tempted to take the plunge if I could get it for list price lads.

Yeah they are seriously marked up in the US too. I've never even seen an R just the 350 and that's still like $85k+ if you can find one. We went to a dealer that had a last gen Shelby and they wouldn't even let us inside. They said they can't even take the key out. Me and my friend both arrived in 6gen GTs so they knew we could afford it
>>
>$90k
>for a mustang
At that point just buy a fucking Porsche.

So wait it out until the hype dies down once the GT500 is announced?
