I have a real job unlike you neetboi

Comes down to your budget you nonce.

>implying we're all in the same financial situation

I just spent 5k on a used WRX. This was worth it despite needing some new body panels and a bit of mechanical work.

You can get a used Porsche 911 Carerra 4S for 60k. You can get a used Corolla for 10k.

There's not a "too much" to spend here - Just a matter of what you're willing to pay for the kind of vehicle you want.

>>16681892
That depends on what car, and how used. New cars are a meme, I always buy used. Recently got a new beater, 2011 Escape with 80k on the clock. Fully optioned. My mechanic gave it a clean bill of health. $5k to purchase, $1k to my mechanic for brakes, sway bar links, and a couple other things. On that car I would probably have been willing to spend 8 or 9k. Blue book value was around 12k IIRC. It definitely would have been stupid to spend $30k on it (roughly MSRP). $30k is reasonable for a fairly new CPO luxury sedan like an E class or a 5 series. $30k is a great deal on a gently used Ferrari. Absolute steal on a gently used Bugatti. It's all relative.

that's a good question

What is an LS500?

Yeah but they break

Bottom barrel VWs are disgusting.

For reference, I had to drive a 2014 Jetta while my 2014 CRZ (yeah yeah, it's a long story) was sitting in the garage waiting for an airbag from Mexico thanks to some fucks in Japan wanting to preserve their honor.

Anyway.

The Jetta pulled well with it's little turbo, but the fit and finish of the interior is horrible. The plastic looks horrendous, the AUX cord plug-in broke and fell down into the console, and the steering wheel made my skin itch occasionally. Plus the seat was absolutely horrible. I had to commute about 80 miles a day (On Honda's dime) and I could feel my back screaming at me after I got home.

So no, VWs aren't great. They're dressed up bottom tier economy cars. All my friends who own VWs have constant issues and their dashes are christmas trees.

My CRZ has exception fit and finish, and it isn't even a luxury car. It's pretty GOAT for a shitbox that shouldn't exist

if it has no exhaust where do i stick my dick?

Not all of them will be complex as a tesla. Once battery technology reaches maturity there will be plenty of very cheap electric cars available which will require physical maintenance. Things like contractors don't last forever and things corode

>>16680434
I think their will be a good thing later on but not yet

wat i wish to see are more performance oriented hybrids that are power by big na v8's to the rear and a large battery for the front with the option to set the power how you want it

thats what i wish to see now

>>16680219
Pic related, pretty sure it's what he was talking about.

Are you serious? If so cool do it, the skyline is an amazing car.

S4 but the wagon.

>>16680159
Do they have B8 wagon in the states? I thought that was only with the 4.2.

Are you a brown person?

>>16679913
I too want to know this

Turbos leak. Engine is pretty solid tho. Why do u ask?

>>16679964
I saw a t5 turbo on craigslist for like 3.5k, don't know what I'm getting into though. fugging jaguar is blasting a hole in my pocket atm

Just race or watch non-wrc events if you wan't to see 600hp cars.

My car literally needs premium fuel to prevent it from shaking itself apart.

Hack the firmware and enable free autopilot & ludicrous mode.

It'll be akin to unlocking videogame consoles.

>>16678928
more current to motors I'd assume?

Idk much about electricity

>Free autopilot

What does that even mean?
