What kind of cool/odd/different car things do you guys have laying around? Could be oddball items or rare parts, just interesting things that you have hanging around or things you collect. I've recently gotten into collecting vintage wheels from Japan and oddball license plates/frames.

Still can't guess what speed I'm driving at unless I look down at the speedo. Typically I'm 10 mph over what I think I'm driving at. My car is just too damn smooth.
Anyone here can guess or feel exactly on the dot their speed all the time?

I've been driving for 10 years now and I still find I cant maintain speed without looking at the speedo.
I'll try and keep 120km/h but when I look down like a minute later I'll be doing like 110 or some shit.
My other weird problem is, I cant maintain distances. If I'm following a pack of cars (buddies to a restaurant in an area I don't know) I'll start out at 2-3 car lengths then all of a sudden I've drifted back to like 10+ car lengths. Mainly on the highway though, doesn't happen in the city that much.

Give me reasons why I should or shouldn't buy a corolla.
I'm by no means a car enthusiast so all I'm looking for is a fuel efficient reliable car and from what I've read the corolla is arguably the most reliable car in the world. I'm thinking about getting a 2014 one with ~30-40k miles because those are the ones that are in my area and in my price range
The only downside I see in this car is that it only has 132hp so it's pretty "boring", but is it really that boring? It's not like I'm gunna be racing this thing

Buy a mazda 3

Yes it is boring. My mom has one and its great for just going A-B or DDing to work but you mash the gas and nothing happens. If you drive aggressively dont even fucking bother cause this thing is a fucking gas hog if you beat on it. Im thinking about getting one for a second car. Just driving around the city I get 35-ish mpg. Thats great for me cause I like to just cruise around when I get bored.

This is a midsize sedan base model interior in 2017
Tell me what it's missing that's essential?
If you're buying anything above a base model, you're a faggot cuck.

Cheap to buy, cheap and easy to fix.
Not very comfortable but you can upgrade the seats. It won't get great mileage.

Too much of a gap, leave 3/4ths of a carlength and if someone indicates to merge just move up so you can just see the leading car's rear wheels.
>>
>>16718422
>implying they ever indicate
its literally impossible to keep a safe follow distance without cunts slipping in between, especially in a lineup for an exit that they don't want to wait in. i fucking hate it.

>>16718422
If you're giving less than a car length's space there's no way any human being is able to react fast enough to stop if they slam on their brakes for whatever reason.

The cobalt has about as much classic potential as a Chevy beretta i.e. None at all.
On the other hand the S2000, specifically the CR model, will be a future classic.
