This, might as well not use them.
Are there any information or detail about the Supra or is that just random.Though somebody would've already gotten the car if it was just random.If you don't know what I'm talking about it's from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKfc5a0-2mg
It's a hunk of metal vaguely resembling an outdated sporty car.
Why the fuck WOULD anyone take it?

How would you haul it out? Leave it to the spiders.
Abarth or classico?
Thinking of going to trade my speed3 in this weekend and checking out this abarth 124 spider. It's brand new with 5 miles and by far the best looking one I've seen. My question is: is the abarth worth it? I know the lusso or whatever it's called is listed around the same price as this abarth and the classicos are like 4-5k less. Anyone with some first hand experience with the different trims?
Get the miata instead for that delicious customer loyalty discount with your MS3. Also, the Fiata looks ugly af.
>>17106171
Definitely the Abarth. The engine there is Pretty much the same as found in the Mito QV, but on steroids. Personally I like the look of the standard trim better, so I'd just remove the hood wrap and maybe wheels. Aftermarket is good enough. As per usual with Tony cars the electronics will probably be the first thing to go.
Why do journalists seem to always prefer the MX-5 over the 124 Abarth?
Anyone know anything about vans? I want to do this but I'm 6'4" the van pictured is a Ford Transit.
Which van has the most headroom?
Stop being homeless
>>17106189
That is exactly what I'm trying to do. I'm currently renting somebody else's home while saving for my own. When I started looking at alternatives and found out how comfortable vans can be if you don't half ass building them plus all the other benefits such as living right by work or living in beautiful locations and having a great incentive to get outdoors be active and live a healthier life I felt like an idiot for ever paying rent.
I'm going to build an awesome van, save 15-20K each year in rent, have enough for a down payment for a property in the city in my late 20's then rent that property out and have someone else pretty much pay my mortgage while I'm roaming around the country in my cosy van and travelling the world for at least a month of each year. Then when I'm feeling ready to settle down sell my city property pay off the mortgage and use what remains to buy a rural property in a nice area with good schools settle down and have a couple kids and most likely be a retired landowner in my 40's probably not retired as I'll still be doing my hobbies and getting paid for it because why not?
This is a lifestyle I wish more people would consider maybe then the suicide rate would be less terrifying, screw the system and it's chains of debt live free and get out sooner.
Join me friend, well make life our adventure together.
I usually just sleep in the open bed of my truck but since I want to take my dog with me I am making an enclosed space. I want a safe spot she can rest while I go to the gym or getting groceries, etc. Otherwise we will go everywhere and do everything together, as all good boys and their dogs shall do.

Oh yeah to answer your question, you park in a garage
>but I don't have a garage
Start saving kiddo.
After thorough and deep philosophical pondering I have concluded that racing an FF is inferior.
Basically, the FF and FR layout are the same except that the FR fas the power output on the rear wheels - this means that steering is not directly coupled to the acceleration like in the FF car.
Furthermore, the longer the wheelbase is, the more time you have to react (while cornering) when you reapply the acceleration after the steering movement.
Now with this last consideration, you can basically say that an FF is an FR with a wheelbase of 0. In the FF you literally just steer you front axle. The implication of a 0 wheelbase (FF) also implies that you need superhuman reaction time in braking and accelerating to outdo an average FR driver (or more acceleration power which on the other hand usually leads to heavy understeer in an FF car)
So the conclusion is simple - FF is not really inferior but with a normal human being at the steering wheel it is. For everyday driving it's just perfect because people either steer or accelerate, so they can't fuck anything up.

>In the FF you literally just control your front axle.
fix
Anyone can try this today on their FF shitbox. Try to go fast and imagine that your whole car is only the front axle, nothing more.
You'll might go faster than before.
>>17105520
do you have a single fact to back that up?
And yes FF is inferior for anything above 300 hp
Are french cars unreliable?
Depends on the brand and complexity.

Ask my friend who drives a Renault Clio and now has 300 euros worth of broken shit on his car while the used car dealer told him he wouldn't have to worry about the next inspection. Since then the dealer was taken over by someone else and now he's fucked.
This isn't even a meme. His car had a faulty sensor straight from the start that took a lot of time and money to fix, he's lucky he didn't have to pay.

are you really sure, I've heards a lot of shit about Renault Energy engine.

Calculate the cost of ownership into your current budget. If your total income exceeds your outgoing expenses then that means you can afford it

I'm a 28 year old with no kids, minimal (like under $1000/month) bills, and no real chance of a relationship. I just got a job making ~$50k and after I pay off some debt, I'd like to pursue this.
Hey /o/, I don't really make a habit of posting here but I have a question for auto enthusiasts that I'll never get an honest answer for anywhere else.
What do people get out of flooring it while driving around residential areas? I don't care if people want to rip around on back roads, but what is the appeal of making your car as loud as possible then ripping around town at 1am? Or honestly even just flooring it when you pass someone walking their dog or something.
Do the people doing this think that I think they're cool? Is it a "fuck you world I'm the man" thing?
Appreciate any responses, no hate towards general car fans, just wondering if any of you can answer this for me.
>>17103583
If you have to ask you will never know.
Pure and Simple
Adrenalin.
Think doing 65 mph on the free way. Not really dangerous.
Doing that same 65 on a side street is like doing 100 on the freeway.
Now im not saying its a good idea or acceptable but really that is what it is. Some of us are speed junkies. It takes us a lot of will power not to bury the pedal every time we feel the urge.
