It's very riced out

You should have stepped on the gas and go to the 3rd lane, leaving the second empty for the ambulance. You could have also gone on the 1st lane since it seemed (from your draw) that you have place to do it. You screwed up, yes, almost killed someone, yes. But live to learn, gas will save you more than brakes. When in doubt step on it and get out of its way, no matter what it is.

>>16952963
I think I forgot to mention, there were traffic lights right above the two cars that go out of my drawing and we got a red light so the whole road was stopped. I just thought that with that much of space in front of me he will go around.
I'm an idiot, I could cost someone their live. I've never encountered an ambulance before on a multilane road in the middle of the day. Fuck me.

>>16952976
Then the driver of the ambulance was the idiot if there was a red light and wanted to get on 2nd or 1st. He could kill someone if he is just hurrying and not thinking ahead to go from 3rd to the right (since that seems to be the idea). He should have passed the lights and cut the intersection. But damn senpai, be aware and state all evidence, you looked like an idiot for a second.

If you don't have fb just make an IG and Snapchat, makes you seem like you have some sort of social life

As a naive kid I'd have said not to think much of it, but as an adult that sounds like she's at least somewhat into you I'd at least try, what do you have to lose? Not much, just ask her to come with you for some food or drink and keep things casual so if she rejects you it's nothing big
And if she says yes just lightly keep trying to flirt with her pretty basic looking at it now

>it gets insta-sold before I even get a chance to talk to the owner
What state do you live in? My dad has been trying to sell his 2011 C6 now for almost 4 months. 31k miles, pristine condition, and he can't even find a buyer for 24k, which is a steal at that price.

>>16952471
Honest answer? Dealers. I live in a state with two of the largest Corvette-only dealers, and while you'd assume that would make them pretentious cunts about it, they're actually pretty cool.

Lots of early (06-09) C6's come in, a few with manuals, and go for 22-28 range.

Honestly you may have to look out of state and be willing to fly out\drive back. Had to do it for my Subaru.

>>16951861

google it
learning how an engine goes together is very easy honestly
google any issues you have then how-to guides to fix them

I am 25 too, and was in the same boat about 3 months ago. Now I'm up to speed on how modern cars work.

I learned by watching countless hours of youtube.

Start with Eric the Car Guy. He does some good, basic videos explaining the basic components of an automobile.

Then start watching some ScannerDanner and finally graduate to Schrodinger's Box underatanding series, the latter of which will really start giving you an idea of how modern fuel injection systems operate and the components of the system, which is probably the most important thing to understand.

To learn about brakes and suspension and stuff like that, just purchase a Haynes or Chilton manual for your vehicle and start reading.

It's amazing how quickly you can self educate with the internet when you're determined. I had to learn fast when the mechanic at my construction company quit and I needed to become an in-house solution for simple stuff like brakes, plugs, belts, fluids and stuff. It's not complicated to learn that stuff.

Now I'm trying to learn about hydraulic systems, which seem a little bit tougher to understand thoroughly.

Just go for it OP. Study something different everyday and soon enough you'll be able to have a solid discussion with professionals.

>>16952693
Not op but thanks man, good post

>>16951428
dank thrread mate.

I've mainly owned used BMWs and MBs, and I've never had anything go wrong on them. The one Saab I had blew a piston at 146K and a buddy of mine cracked a head in his Accord at 120K.

The problem is all this shit is anecdotal. You'd think somebody would have compiled some detailed statistics on the issue by now.

Anecdotal evidence isn't enough evidence to vilify and entire car brand that has one of the highest overall reliability ratings since the early 90's.

Case and point; my mom has an 05 Stratus with 550k on it. Only thing she'd had fixed other than normal maintenance is the timing belt.

Dodge still shits the bed overall when it comes to reliability.

>>16951000
you don't want information, faggot.

anything you learn itt will be ignored and forgotten.

I could give you the absolute best resources to teach you the science of an engine from scratch. But you won't even touch it. 4chan isn't reading. I bet you don't have the attention span to read

>>16951008
4chan is a great place to learn about things as long as you check the validity of what youre being told before accepting it as fact and acting on it.

>>16951050
The same could be said about any website on the internet.

that depends. do you know whut chu got?

Wow it's beautiful.

Yes, I would buy.

yeah then Id do a few simple mods

>>16950709
Why are you buying a beginner bike new when you'll drop it in a week and fuck the fairings up?

Also there are things called loan payment calculators you can find on a wonderful website called Google, you should go there sometime, and after that you can search for traps, that might be up your ars alley.

>>16950709
You shouldn't be financing what is essentially a toy is what you should be doing.

For $5k you could have all kinds of decent used learner bikes. SV650's, NInja 650's etc. plus enough left over for your next bike (which you will want, trust me).

CBR300's themselves are shit, literally '08-'12 Ninja 250 tier shit. Every other 300 is better, whether it's the Ninja or R3 or whatever.

Even if you HAD to have a CBR300 for the love of god buy a used one so you don't suffer the depreciation of a new vehicle or pay $5k+ for horseshit on wheels.

tl;dr CBR300 a shit, save up and buy a used SV650 instead

>>16950761
Why do you assume he will certainely drop the bike ?
I've started on a R1 (2006) at 21yo, never ever dropped a bike, not even once, why would he ?

>>16950686
Why/what for?

>>16950713
Because he stole a fucking car and now the 5-0 are on their way to beat his black ass. Why the fuck else would he be asking?

>>16950686
Tyrone why did you steal a shitbox???

>>16950432
you just gotta ride on the clutch my man

>>16950432
Learn how to launch your car without fucking up the clutch. Nigger.

>>16950432
why do burgers pretend its so hard to drive manual? is it because theyre fat and a slightly more handling while driving is too exhausting?
or is a manual transmission just way to complex for the average burger?
serious question

Wouldnt this fuck up the near perfect 50/50 weight distribution of the 944 though?

>>16950392
Why. I feel like you busted my hymen anon. The 944 was my first car, my first love and you had to tear that innocence away with this monstrosity. You could have posted a pic of my ex getting gang fucked instead, you heartless bastard.

>>16950385
buy it and find out

>>16950408
I'd rather have a frame of reference before I make that kind of commitment

Bump

Also want the anon with the coolant leak on the Mercury and the talent for writing to comment, he's cool
