Hey /o/

What are the next repairs you're going to do with your car ? What's the budget you are allowing ?

as for me :
-clutch this weekend (will be a bitch, i don't have a lift nor a hole, or even a garage)
-Whole PCV system as I noticed pressure in my cranckcase
-Braking system overhaul (discs+brakes) in a few weeks.

Total budget : around 200€ for new parts / NOS parts. (car was bought for 150€ a year 1/2 ago)

Halfway up, then "Klunk"

2 of 4 clips holding the glass onto the tracks break and i got to spend 45 mins learning how to replace a window assembly because that's how you do an oil change on a VW.

Alright /o/ i've never visited here and know fuckall about cars. Give my your opinions on 2013 VW jetta GLI.

I found one with 65k miles for $12k, which is fair price according to kbb and edmunds. it has a clean carfax and it was obviously well taken care of plus it was the funnest damn thing i've ever driven (not saying much since all i've had previously are volvos)

I want something smaller than my s80, not boring but still practical while getting comparable mileage. I deliver pizza's and spend alot of time driving short distances about 70% backroads and rest highway.

I have also test driven a 2013 mazda 3 and a 2014 ford focus se but the gli was the best drive of them all

I am going to buy it tomorrow morning unless you guys can talk me out of it.

First time on the board (/k/ browser), I've read several articles on the subject of 4x4 conversions and some say its difficult and I might as well buy a factory 4x4 and others say its a matter of finding the right donor vehicle and bolting on and fitting the parts together. For general information, the original truck and the donor would be Ford Rangers. The donor could possibly be a Explorer from the same era as I've heard the vast majority of parts interchange between the two. I am mechanically inclined so the actual work is not a problem, just haven't attempted a project this big before and asking for any input yall might have. Thanks in advance

Daily reminder the 2015-2017 C63 S is THE best automobile you can buy currently.

You have a luxurious interior, you have a mean as fuck exterior however still a perfect blend of luxury and sportiness, you have the Mercedes reputation, you have a great price (~60-70k so it's expensive but not rape expensive), you have a very quick car but you don't have autism so you don't care if another car is .01 seconds faster, and you can bring your friends, all while enjoying that gorgeous rumble V8.

I would ask to find a better car, but you can't.

BMW cucks out

American with a rented car in bongland here. How do I deal with those yuge busy roundabouts that don't have traffic lights? I often find myself stuck at the give way line with the cars behind honking at me because traffic from my right seems to going too fast for me to enter the roundabout safely. Meanwhile other cars at the give way line seem to find appropriate gaps.

Why are there so many retarded roundabouts in this country?

So what is stopping someone from mounting a high power invisible beam laser in their car that shines out the grille.
So when taco bell in his broken ass Nissan won't get out of the passing lane, flip it on and set his car on fire.

Is it, dare I say, the perfect crime?
