>PSA is about to acquire Opel/Vauxhall
And new Opels were just starting to get better and better. I feel that PSA will fuck it all up.
>>16667586
>Opel/Vauxhalls
>Good
Yeah, sure...
They can't get any worse, now can they?
>what is the catalog
>>16667604
That's exactly the mindset the people at Opel always have to fight against despite actually having improved a fuckton since the 90's AND the fuckups from above by GM all the fucking time.
They're just fucking not allowed to get back on track ever again it seems.
What you gf less guys gonna do tonight /o/?
I'm going for a spirited drive in the mountains then head to the bar for some drinks, I'll probably go buy a mount and do an in car video of me driving maybe start a YT channel who knows..
get a haircut, go home and cry for a bit, then probably find something to eat
Probably sleep.
>>16667102
Studying for classes and exams now, then gonna vape weed with my bro and watch funny online videos tonight. One of the best things to do.
So, I'm buying a first time car, and can choose between these. Both are 1999 models.
320D 2.0 manual, 136hp, mileage 160k,
Audi A6 2.4, Auto, 165hp, mileage 100k
I have plenty pics of both, they've both undergone repairs, strict legal tests and controls this weekend, so there is a no-scam/flaw/rust guarantee.
Which should I go for?
>>16666709
A corolla
Accord type R

who is this moron? This is like taking a Faberge egg to the pawn shop.
>be murican
>just got my first manual car two days ago

>expected it to be a pain in the ass
>it wasn't
Why do people complain about this so much? Is it just because of laziness or are people just retarded?
>>16665107
A bit of both.
I don't mind it either buddy. People say they want an automatic for traffic when they want you to know they used to drive manual.
>had manual for a few days
>got stuck in traffic once
What about when it's a daily occurrence ?
The FD is better than any other car.

Prove me wrong.
>Pro tip: you can't.

>look into 3rd gen WRX hatchbacks
>decide it's perfect and the prices aren't bad at all
>listing after listing come to a realization that it doesn't come with an Automatic, JUST stick
fucking why.
>>16664055
Because those cars are for real people who enjoy the art of driving manuals.
Not pussys like you.
Sage on all counts
>>16664062

>'Fun' Car

Pick one.
Also, I hope you didn't buy a 3rd gen Focus (2012+) with the automatic, or you're an even bigger idiot than I thought.

>thinking of selling or trading for turbo'd 1990 miata
What do you guys think? I'm looking at a Miata that's been completely gone through with loads of new parts and go fast bits, including a turbo. Will I regret this? Will it be less fun than my current car (which is pretty much stock)?
>>16664011
if its built by someone else I'd be worried about reliability.
>>16664011
Great idea anon! The other hair stylists at the salon will love it and you'll fit right in!
>>16664011
Why dont you do your own research? There is a forum dedicated to turbocharged Miata's.
I'm sure turbo Miata's are fun but I'd rather buy a bone stock Miata and turbo it myself personally.

Also there is a Miata general. You coulda used the catalog to find it but no you had to create your own thread.
What are the best 50s-90s series trucks to fix up?
mazda rotary pickup
>>16663001
these are pretty cool
>>16662995
1973-1987 Chevy/GMC C/K series
>305,350,400 and 454 engines are dead simple and have a large parts availability
>Tons and tons of info out there so you should never run into a problem where a solution can't be found
1972-1993 Dodge D/W series
>225,318,360,383,400 and 440 engines are dead simple and have a large parts availability
>Tons of info out there
These trucks can be had for sub $2000
The big blocks and manuals will run you more but should still be pretty cheap.
Honorable mention
>1st gen Dodge Dakota 318 V8 Magnum
>1st gen Chevy/GMC S-10/Sonoma 4.3L V6

Literally every car manufacturer uses these meme engines for that extra 2 MPG.
Is buying used cars the only hope now?
Yes.

Most companies are shipping air oil separators at this point. If your car doesn't have one get a fucking oil catch can. Retrofit a water injection system to spray a fine mist of water if intake air temperatures or exhaust gas temperatures start rising too high.
There, I fixed your carbon problems. The ECU over time will adapt timing. Modern engines operate at the ragged edge of the knock limit. Water injection will push the threshold further.

Got a radio put in my car, dude said he hooked it to constant power and it will work when the car is off, is that gonna hurt my battery?
Just started the car after a day of sitting, it had to crank for about 4 seconds but it did start
why is the n54 the best engine in the world and why do people still opt for the 2jz
>>16647985
the n54 is a transmission you nit wit
>>16647985
N55* N54 is too busy breaking to ever do anything

I'd rather be in control. It's not about speed.
