New wheel, new wheel hub, new control arm, probably new shock. Nothing too expensive. How did you manage that?

black doesn't always look good

its harder to maintain, gets scratches easier, and will look worse in 10 years than a car in white or silver

Charger or Boss

Love both tbqh

No. The majority of places that use them have people cant afford auto. Its a dead, stupid technology that only has a purpose for sport/ nostalgia applications.

It only matters with rwd cars and drifting/racing.

Like 99% of drivers have front wheel or awd and the closest they get to racing is stoplights and onramp.

>>16577033
all you do is press the gas and the car changes gears for you, you can probably find a video of someone driving one and what you see is literally what it is. most enthusiasts prefer driving manual because they feel like they have more control over the car and its also cheaper to purchase and replace, which is why poorfags like me prefer them.

>>16577006
I think thats up to you really

go test drive both of them, compare stuff, compare warranties and prices

Why get a 4wd for towing? Heavier and worse gas mileage. The vortec is probably one of the most tried and true truck engines out there, can't go wrong with a 5.3

>>16577026

Would like to have the option. To me I don't really see any reason not to get 4WD other than mileage.

>>16576667
Ayyy I've only driven ambulances I'm not a firefighter.
The van chassis are pretty much just regular cars but the truck chassis with the air brakes are pretty lit. Especially the air horn, that thing could blast eyebrows off.
I did once drive a brush fire truck, it's just a lifted F-350 with a portable hose in the back and some extrication stuff.
Maybe after I finish school and settle down I'll get into a fire academy so I can roll in the big boy truck.

My fathers 2,500 hp super street car.

Almost as heavy as a challenger

If you can't get you hands on a clean one, the get a W126 or a W202.
Both are great choices.

Come back in like a year, you ain't seeing shit for a while. Insurance will try their hardest to pay you late as fuck; as little as fuck.

You shut your mouth. I loved my corolla. Best A to B car I've owned. Never gave me an issue in the 88K miles I owned it.

>>16575292

Eh I really hope it doesnt take that long. Kid admitted guilt at the scene and I have undisputable video of the incident so shouldn't that help? I figured they would try to lowball the fuck out of me though.

If you're not double clutching it doesn't matter.

>>16575250
you basically described the same process twice

if you have the clutch in, it doesn't matter where the shifter is, you're essentially in neutral

>>16575250
As previously mentioned, if you're double declutching, it'd be

>clutch in
>neutral
>clutch out
>blip
>clutch in
>in gear
>clutch out

Doesn't really matter if it's not an old car with weak or lack of syncros

>want to buy a manual
>only ever driven auto
>don't know anyone with a manual who can teach me

So my options are paying for lessons, or having my first time driving a manual be right off the lot in a new car.

I'm fucked, aren't I?

>>16575166
There are tons of videos on youtube mate there's hope!

>>16574962
New manual driver here too, and I have pretty much everything down, but I was wondering how bad it is to not blip the throttle on every downshift.
I'm too tall to heel-toe, so if I want to steadily decelerate quickly, I'll slowly let out the clutch while sometimes braking.
I like rowing through the gears, so I don't like rev-matching with no slowing down, braking, rev-match again while having to stop decelerating while I rev match, etc etc.

Letting out the clutch with no gas takes this problem away for me, but I don't want noticeable premature clutch wear.

Guys. My CD clutch is burning out and slipping when I play it at high speeds. Pic related.
I see some scratches. Is it salvagable or do I have to get a new CD clutch? Checked the master cylinder and it looks fine.
