1.8t nevAr lose

>buying a what then would be a 15y/o turbocharged german car from the early 2000s

Worst of all worlds, and are likely to be driven for 100s of thousands km beforehand. Unless you have previous knowledge of the owner(s) or have a family member at an (audi) auto shop, Id probably look elsewhere. If you absolutely must have one, look around audi forums for what basic maintenance costs are, also changing major bits like timing chain, gaskets, suspension parts etc. Dont forget to add work costs unless you want to wrench on it yourself.

Dont have one, but Ive heard some wild costs from associates that bought themselves a 10y/o german "limousine" for a few grand, thinking they were hot shit. Next thing you know, the thing is sitting in front of the house because they cannot keep up with the maintenance costs when something goes to shit every few months (or more often). Better yet, they say fuck it and sell it back and it gets sold to the next unlucky fellow.

Be satisfied with 200 bhp and enjoy the 1.8t for the very robust little engine that it is with decent gas economy.

Could you imagine how tiny the range on those would be?

compressed air means easy explosion
also shit power density
also compressed air moving a turbine moving the wheels would be better

>posts soccer mom tier crossover
Get a crossover from the company that invented the crossover.

How insecure are you that you need "a commanding view of the road"? Further more a car on stilts will always be at a handling disadvantage, it's basic physics. I'd rather avoid an accident and get on with my day rather than having to choose between rolling over or crashing into something.

Dumb but fun. An 11.3 second PT Cruiser is a hilarious thing. Super fun for autocross.

Golfs are hands down more popular than AE86. Story's bullshit. No (You)s given.

MR2 actually stands for "midship runabout 2-seater"

or converted from engrish, as they did in the later years of the car, "midengined RWD 2 seater"

the sw20 especially seems to be surrounded by engrish phrases, such as "MAN IN DANDISM- NEW RICH AND SPORTS"

plz respond

Electronicz really, I'd highly suggest spending a couple hours on the internet learning about the year and model you'll get a much better picture than from the posters here.
It has been in my experience bmws require lots of care, and if something does go bad it will be expensive, so if you're not good at saving up money for future repairs I'd say it's probably not worth owning for very long. Also if you plan to wrench budget tools as well as parts.

I don't think you have to pass emissions for a pre '76 but not an actual califag so my advice means nothing.

>>17820850

Right, sadly there's a pre-1980 super old Rover VIN (146101244), and I am not sure if I can register it wit that / if they'll check the engine, which is a Chevy from '94.

Could I sweet talk my way through the DMV without modern VIN on it?
