>>16493891

>>16493891
bikes don't make it better anon.

>Go to pick up girl I've been talking to
>It's a nice day I'm gonna ride the bike
>Show up
>She comes out
>Hand her a helmet
>Strap that on
>She stares at me for a little bit
>Turns around and goes back inside
>Soulcrushed.gif
>Go for a lonely ride for a few hours to numb the sadness

>literally never have passengers
>box of cds has been on passenger seat for over a year
Such is life

good platform

does guzzle gas for an i6 and the trans can be problematic if you aren't on top of fluid changes

they are quite comfy inside in spite of cheap GM interior

probably the only recession era GM worth owning

>>16493995

Thanks for answering!

If ill buy one ill keep and eye on the trans, thats pretty much the only negative thing i found, and as you said the cheap interior, but dont think ill be to bothered about that.

Whether you go with one with the Atlas I6 or the Vortec V6, they're pretty darn reliable with minimal upkeep and maintenance. Big downside of course being the garbage fuel mileage. Don't be surprised to average 10mpg or below. Yea, it's that bad.They aren't great offroaders because of their size and weight but should get through most conditions quite well.
I don't think an old Volvo would be that much worse though. I drive mine through snowy/icy conditions on almost a daily basis and it's quite capable despite being RWD.

He has disposable income and is more concerned with how it looks than how it drives. since you can tell that car has stupid amount of camber

>>16493729
>Do people actually spend this much money on rims

People spend way more than that on wheels. Even ignoring niggers with their TWUNNY FOS, there are expensive status wheels (Works, SSR, etc for JDM fags) and expensive track wheels (Volks etc can be over $2k).

>Like why wouldn't this guy spend the rest on bettering his cars handling or performance? It baffles me.

Because he has other concerns than just "how can I increase performance the most per dollar?", obviously. If your shitbox isn't 100% stripped with a lightweight battery in the back and 1 seat, then you're as guilty as he is (because complete stripping is $0 and does lots for performance and handling). Why haven't you stripped your DD yet? Because of concerns about comfort, aesthetics, or something else? Then you understand what this guy's up to.

Also he drives a bagged VW Golf so obviously he doesn't give a fuck about performance. He likes aesthetics. There is literally nothing wrong with that btw, although he's probably a faggot stancefag.

pretty underrated,you don't see people drool over it as much as they drool over other sports cars
the gated shifted is nice as fuck

i work with various shops from low to high end

and in my opinion the first gen r8 is the sexiest fucking car ever made.

and i've seen and sat in a lot of shit

that mclaren p1 is sexy with a sexy purr but the r8 just does it for me

>>16493523
Because they arent good cars
>poor build quality inside and out
>odd design choices
>floppy chassis
Its like every nissan built.
Even fully modded, its still worse than other cars are stock.

>>16493523
Not that I know the situation on the used market, but I do know that the Initial D R32 is specifically a V-Spec II. Try finding one of those and see if the price is relatively higher.

>>16493554
I see one for £22,000 and one for auction. That's about what I expected for a r32.

Depends.
In a car, yes
On a motorbike, no

Why were so many air cooled cars rear engined? Isn't it the worst place for an air cooled engine?

are air cooled engines a joke?

how can an engine be a joke?

like it was made as a prank on the car owners?

does it have a punchline on the block?

it's literally a Hyundai Accent with a body kit. WOuld you buy a normal Accent?
No?
Then Why the fuck are you buying one? It's a shit car and every single one of its competitors is a better car. The Honda Civic coupe, the Scion tC, the Volkswagen Beetle. All better. All more reliable. All better built.

There's only one fag here who likes them because he has a fetish for Korean people.

fucking don't
there's a million other compact eco-boxes out there better than a veloster

It's pretty much the same thing.

Tg UK 2002-2015 and old Top gear from the 90s was super comfy and a nice time capsule.

Nice to see all the shitboxes new.

Only thing that aged them was horrible skinny tyres and suspension wollow and no exhaust note.

Tgt is just try hard Jeremy blowing out his ass and dragging the other two along for the ride and somehow still ended up worse than anything he did on the BBC

It needs to die.

Let may go back to doing comfy things and hamster whatever.

Clarkson's past his prime and I think it's time for him to retire and let youtubers and other shows take over.

Sadly nothing will ever be as big or as good as prime top gear but we knew this day would come for a very long time I thought that it would canned a decade ago and fade away so it's a miracle it lasted as long as it did.

Tgt is already fading and they are running out of ideas

Any way to watch The Grand Tour online for free? Don't wanna download it off public trackers or Russian trackers.

Going the way of Mercury

Prosperity.

Companies in the JDM didn't pennypinch as much and where renowned for quality.

These days it's fair game and a race to the bottom but back then everyone was trying to outdo each other.

1998 was the peak and then the Jap economic bubble popped and never recovered.

relative simplicity and modern technology.

If you really want a flat deck get something like this

>>16492924
Because I believe it would be more versatile, and easier to use in most situations.

>>16492424
What MEPS are you going through?

The Japanese already find American service members obnoxious, don't drive that monstrosity around their streets like some ignorant asshole making us look worse. Besides you won't get it out much when the base has to get shutdown every weekend because another Marine raped a Japanese girl.

It won't be my daily. I just want to buy it early so I can get it out of the way. My daily has always been my CBR.

How much money do you have that you're ready to invest into your /o/ctivities?

If you have over 3-4k, buy it

>>16492300
I have 1k if I can get it for 1k, but a steady job and am sponsored by mommy and daddy, so they can help me pick up the slack money-wise.

a lot of miles but its 'rare' paint
