Nice tiny ass image. as for the Corvette, i assume you would be getting a regular C6 or something and not the ZR1 pictured. not really much to say other than if they are owned by some middle age'd guy who most likely garaged it most of its life it shouldn't have seen much abuse. i heard from Regular Fur Reviews that the clutches (assuming you are getting a manual) are really forgiving too. they are definitely daily'able cars. power and torque might catch you off guard if its your first car.
some guy who goes by the name "Frosty" has one and supposedly hes the most successful drug dealer on /o/ so maybe good hustling skills will be bestowed upon you.. or prison dicks.

What's the function of spoilers?
I mean, i realize that the less weight the more important downforce is, and the less restrictive the flow before the wing the better response, but i still dont fully get it.
I get that some people get racing FWD cars set up to oversteer and use big rear wings to counter that, and ive read that SOME PEOPLE might have spoilers producing upforce to force the front down (but i think that was bullshit).
However, the actually good excuse i found was that the vortex, dirty air, or basically the mess of air flow behind the car was affecting the performance of the car, and people used spoilers (read, the civic type R spoilers) to get this vortex of trapped air as behind as possible, if not try to remove it entirely, and supposedly this could help reduce drag slightly.
Is that bullshit? or is trapped air behind the car good for drag?

I miss the My Summer Car threads...

I read in the trucker general that the vortex behind the trailer in this case creates a low pressure area which effectively functions as a very mild vacuum and creates the equivalent of drag on the truck by having a high/low pressure differential between the front and back of the car. I imagine it would be the same for a car only to a smaller degree. It sounds plausible but I'm not an air doctor so I can't say for sure.

The function of a spoiler is to "spoil" the lift.

alright /o/, tell me why I shouldn't put $1k down on a Model 3
>$7,500 federal tax credit
>$2,500 state (CA) rebate
>relatively affordable price at $35k starting
>autopilot available if approved, likely first in the nation in my state
>unique styling
>respectable, perhaps excellent, acceleration
>superlative safety
am I missing something here?
I've got a less than 200mi round trip to major destinations in my area, plus charging stations along all major routes in the nation according to Tesla's map
I plan on selling my old commuter car, a 2013 Subaru Impreza, and replacing it with the AWD Model 3. With the trade in/sale value of my old car, plus the tax credits/rebates, and with how cheap car loans are, this seems like a no-brainer.
Any reason not to?

What have y'all heard about the FreeValve system? I know there's only one production car using the tech, but it's China-exclusive. Is there a possibility we'll see this in other vehicles in the near future?

It's relatively new but within 10 years it will be in almost all cars. Just like electric steering appeared out of nowhere and are everywhere now.

Stanced, neither. Barring that, the G35 is 90%the performer, while being 200% more practical. You'll have read sears and a decent trunk to throw shit in.

the problem with that rear end is that it has a wide bezel and it is too vertical.
they made this rear end a little less vertical and shrunk the bezel a little bit, but it has a black panel and weird louvred tail lights.

why don't they make tire warmers that fit in between the tire and the wheel and heat up the tire when car is running?
that way you could run summer tires even when it's freezing outside

Gonna buy an 06 Eclipse GT this weekend. It seems like the 3.8L V6 on this is about as good as I can get on my $6000 budget for a year-round car (I live in Wisconsin). Plus it'll be my first manual to learn. Any advice from /o/ on either the car or learning stick? I plan to spend many days stalling

Had an 03 with the 2.4l. The v6 makes 250hp I think so that's not no bad. Fun car, even in auto. Decently comfortable and the hatch was fun. Just make sure it hasn't been abused too much. Mine had a shit radiator and head gasket from the get go.
