No but more fuel.

In theory anything under the red should be fine for the engine, but I'd imagine in practice faster rotation means higher wear.

Doesn't matter even a little bit. Economy cars of '80s-'00s, and to a lesser extent today, frequently turned 4,000rpm going down the highway. They did this by design, for twenty years and hundreds of thousands of miles, without complaint.

Also can someone redpill me on the various Subaru models, there are Outbacks that look like sedans, and Outbacks that look like Crossovers, and Outbacks that look identical to Imprezas.

I'd suggest a 4runner/pathfinder/older land cruiser, or a 4x4 pickup with a long bed and a cap depending on your budget.

It's the sound that people go for

I'm pretty sure on a lot of cars you lose out on a bit of power with a ricer exhaust

you are clearly ignorant on exhausts

1. maximum airflow isnt always the best otherwise people would just run open header
2. different muffler/resonator design pipe thickness material and placement make different sounds
3. straight pipe is fucking awful

>>16656575
>There can't possibly be any differences
There are slightly less than 1 million different muffler designs

So you Euro's always brag about your superior handling, for what? So you can go the speed limit? Why don't you ride a 50cc moped at that point?

Wasn't myself to be honest. Promised to bring someone and his friends to a remote airport so they could have the cheapest vacation possible. Later found out that parking was 45 euros/week there. Fucker strictly only wanted to pay for gas and nothing else. I got home at 5 am for fuck's sake. So yeah, I broke the speed limit.

Ashtrays everywhere? Oh great. A vehicle full of adults addicted to drugs AND pacifiers sucking little white paper cocks all the way to the Olive Garden.
Fucking gross.

I find it funny how most cars made before the late 90s had shit-tons of ashtrays but zero cupholders.

Also, according to the seller, it has a new headliner, an $80 new carpet kit that hasn't been installed I guess, and "many extra parts." I asked him/her what that means, and so now I'm just waiting for the response back.

tl;dr wan to buy first car, vw beetle on Craigslist is $650 without engine. Should I bite, yes or no?

>>16652789

Great idea for a project.

Did you work on a vintage car before?
Do you have the tools and space to work on it?
Does anyone you know have some sort of idea of how cars work?

Aquiring a running VW engine and putting in the back of a Beetle is not a big task and is not going to cost 3000$.

But I'm sure there is a lot more work to be done before the car actually drives well (will probably require new tyres, brakes, lots of smaller fixes) and all that will add up, and also take a lot of work and time.
Spare parts for these cars are easily available for reasonable prices, there is lots of know how, plus the Beetle is a very easy car to work on

do this:
>buy cheap daily driver like an older civic or corolla for 3-5k
>buy beetle, engine and take your time to get it to run and drive properly
>once it's drivable you can decide wether you can deal with a 73 Beetle as a daily driver (chances are it's too noisy, slow and uncomfortable for you)or not

Also get the fuck away from 4chan for advice on this, join a forum for aircooled VWs

>good looking

Have you had your eyes checked lately?

honestly all suv audi's look like oversized pieces of garbage, especially with that big grille(the grille makes them even less appealing).
The v8 racecars with those grilles (dtm, v8 star etc) are butt ugly too, they just don't do it.

>bought truck with 4x4

>dont know how to use 4x4

How do you expect one to learn how to use 4x4 if they've never used it before? Trial and error asshat.

Anyway OP, I'd check the front hubs, they may not have fully engaged or they're shot now. Look for red fluid too underneath and check for any signs of metal bits on the ground.

Best thing tho, take it to a mechanic and get them to overlook it all.

I learned by reading the fucking manual.

Can't think of any currently operational makes that are super cucked. Oldsmobile and Pontiac are the best example of being cucked by their owners

What does it mean to be "cucked by its owner"?

>>16660624
OH shit nvm. i thought you meant the people who owned the cars but you mean parent company.

>>16660387
Suggest some other ones if you have, Im no expert on these kind of cars..

Also, why is golf so good? They are overpriced imo, at least in Europe

It gets good gas mileage, I guess. That's about it.

Geo's (Suzuki's) real breadwinner was the Tracker (Sidekick).
