I'm in the market and when I floated the idea of a Mustang, family and friends told me it's for faggots, douchebags, and that it's not practical. Are they right? I test drove a 2012 GT and liked a lot about it, it made me happy. But maybe an Accord Coupe is the smarter choice...

If it makes you happy then buy it.
Just because your family calls you a faggot doesn't mean you need to listen.

your family and friends dont want to see you have a cooler car than them...
that being said, mustangs are very common, so some douchebags and faggots ARE bound to own them.

tell your family to go fuck themselves. They're trying to make you fall for the "boring car so you'll have a family quicker" meme

stop kidding yourself. you're not going to keep it 10 years. You're going to jump ship at the first several hundred dollar repair or you're going to get cucked into buying a crossover by a gf or wife. It's a boring car for boring people. The camry is shit without the V6. If it's 14-15k you should be putting down 4k.

Was looking on craigslist for old shitty civics and came across this 04 with a fucking shifter in the dash. What in the fuck is going on here? I never knew you could even do that. Whats next a shifter in the seat?

Why is owning a car so expensive in burgerstan?
Especially in NE cities like New york
I'm gonna be going to grad school next fall and I was thinking that I can finally get a car and start driving (undergrad was in the city) but it's so fucking expensive.
Excluding the cost of the car you have to deal with inflated insurance, every mechanic is a scam, yearly inspections, tolls out the ass on bridges (15 bucks a pass? Really?) tickets here are expensive as fuck for the most stupid shit, parking is getting fucked because more and more streets are getting meters, making it impossible to find a spot sometimes, alternate side parking and the list just goes on.
Why do they do this? I just want a cute little miata to drive upstate with instead of taking the fucking Amtrak.

if you don't live in a hilly area, you can get by on summers for most snow on the east coast US. that said, you're going to have to be VERY aware of what the car is doing. Winters offer easier driving in the snow, and basically required in the hills

Honestly its the snowy hills that fuck you up, going down and driving up them.
I used to rock all-seasons, then I moved to a hilly area and I swear by winters now. I'd say about 80% of cars here have them too.
It's just trying to get up that smooth snow where all-seasons tend to call it quits.
If its flat and only snows like 5 days a year, you are probably OK without. Obviously better with them ,even on dry roads winters are better in the winter...but you aren't going to die like some /o/tist's like to believe.

They're honestly getting better. Back in the 90s they were pretty shit, with really horrible build quality and safety standards. In the mid-00s they seemed to fix that pretty well. That being said, they're still boring fwd shitboxes.

I'm going to make 400 miles each weekend because I'm in the military and my new base is far from my home, and I want to return home each weeked. Which ones are good cars to travel 1600 miles per month? I want something sporty since I'm not going to go at the speed limit since there aren't lots of speed radar in the zone. My budget is 40k at maximun.
I'm thinking about buying a Mustang or something like a Camaro.
I also like Miatas or GT86/BRZs, but maybe they are too small for long trips?
Other alternatives would be 4wd or rwd sedans like the Subaru WRX or german sedans like BMWs or Audis. Or maybe the IS lexus?

Fuel economy is not such a big deal, I have good salary. I should buy a Diesel because here in Spain gas is more expensive, but I'm going to buy a gas can since I found them funnier to drive. Also they have less mechanical problems because diesel car have those shitty air filters to "protect" the ecosystem. I prefer to have a fun and fast car to drive rather than one with good fuel economy. Bonus points if the car is comfy to drive.

AKA cars subject to the "Paul Walker Tax"
Besides R34s, MY99+ Supras and Series 8 RX7s, the worst offenders for markup that I've seen are Integra R/Civic R and some Altezzas. This is definitely the most ridiculous price I've seen that's not an R34. Even $30K Canadian pesos can get you a few-years-old Mustang GT 5.0 PP, or a similarly pre-owned Challenger R/T if you shop around.
I guess more people are willing to drop that kind of money on a DC5 Integra R than on an Elgrand or a Toyota Crown Majesta.

So there's a Chevy LT1 350 engine close to my house on sale for $650. It has about 125,000 miles on it. It's from a 91 caprice. I've been looking for something to replace the 305 in my 85 GMC squarebody. Is it worth it? How much gain over a 305 would I really even get? I'm aware of the Optispark bullshit, would I have to replace it?

If you are willing to rebuild the engine, sure. I guarantee that you need to do so.
>>
>>16671705
if you built the 305 and opened it up as far as flow, you'd get about 1 second knocked off your 1/4. A 350 will knock a further second off that 1/4.
The 350 is definitely going to have some more umph to it compared to a 305, but depending on what transmission you're running it wouldn't be likely that it can handle the torque from even a stock 350.
and yes optispark is bullshit and should absolutely be replaced if you're going to rebuild it. (you should)
>>
You can delete the optispark and run a normal distributor. Do that.
