Should i get a nissan 350z after saving up while owning a civic
After a certain point i want to get a nice rwd car after owning a civic and i love the 350z
>>17794379
>350z
>nice
>>17794379
Honestly, OP, I would do it. I personally think that the 350z is a fun car, with a nice, simplistic interior that is fun to drive. It's quick, handles well, and has a lot of good driver feedback. Despite the memes, it's a genuinely fun car.
>>17794379
Ya it's a great car. Go for the HR motor if you can afford it, or a 370z
How bad is rally for the body of a car?
In general, does rallying destroy the car's paint/clear coat?
Additional question: would EP3 Civic be alright to do it?
>>17794372
If you are worrying about the paint/clear coat while rallying your car, you are doing it wrong. All of it. Very wrong.
With proper suspension, wheels and tires, and underbody protection, any car is rallyable. My only concern with the EP3 is that I used to have one, and the rear end broke loose too easily. It was pretty good at staying firm, but when it broke loose, you were fucked. I'd argue that is not something you want in rally unless you could set up the suspension to be more controllable while sideways.
>>17794372
Nibba, you ever watch rally? Stone chips in paint and on windshield, loose bumpers and the like are everyday life of a rally car. Hell, some dont even have paint to Save weight.
OP, why don't you tell us what you think happens to the paint/body of a car that's driving upwards of 60mph down dirt/gravel roads?
I'm legitimately fucking interested.

What do you think is happening in the timeline where the idx made it to production?
>>17794265
Dealers overcharge the fuck out of it and it lasts for 3 model years of increasingly miserable sales before Renault/Nissan axes it and even then the overcharged IDXs will remain on dealer lots as dealers grow ever more desperate to sell them to buyers who moved on years ago.
They wouldnt have sold and nissan would die because they spent money on a instagram retard who thought this car would be el shizzle.
Its such an ugly piece of shit. You have to draw a line somewhere and nissan did. For the better
>>17794313
They should have drawn the line at the Juke but apparently that sells pretty well.
Post your favorite rally cars, any groups. Mine Is pic related

Are you serious?

>>17794029
okay Zelenka I know it's (you)
Tundra or 4runner
>>17793983
are you actually going to use the truck for truck things or just use it as a dd?
there is your answer
>>17793988
>are you actually going to use the truck for truck things
yes
>>17793983
Why not both?
The 4runner is one of THE best midsize SUVs ever released.
Hi, I'm a college student with very little money so I've been looking into the used vehicle market. Since this would be my first car purchase and I'm not very car savvy, I thought coming here and hearing multiple opinions could help me greatly.
A few days ago on CraigsList I found a 2007 Ford Fusion SEL with 127k miles. The asking price is $2000 and the engine/tranny configuration is the inline 4-cylinder 2.3L engine with the 5-speed manual. The car seems to have been taken care of.
>You can look at pictures of it here: http://imgur.com/onJRcQn
I've spoken to the seller of the vehicle and gotten the VIN. After adding the car to my garage on CarFax to see the available reports, I see that the car failed emissions but passed afterwards. First time this happened was when the car had 65k miles, passed emissions till it had 124k when it failed again and then passed a couple of hundred miles later. I'm assuming this got fixed. Seller says they did not know about the issue since they bought the car for somebody else but they bailed. I think its sketchy.
Would you guys even bother to look at it? Are these cars reliable or should I aim for maybe something a little older but reliable like a Civic or a Corolla?

It's just a Fusion. Keep looking around. You can always bookmark it and come back later if you want it - I doubt it'd be gone after you look around some more.
>>17793965
I'd give it a look. Ask a local mechanic if he will look at the car for you, ask how much he'll charge ($30 may seem like a ripoff just to look at a car but think about how much that $30 may save your ass later down the road), and do that
"I dont need a Toyota Mark II, I have a Cressida..."
"I should save my money"
For me, it's the Road King, the best Harley-Davidson.
Took a fucking rip of my fucking Harley today

Why are you even here?
>>17793866
the street rod actually looks okay. if HD can just get with the program and make a legit cafe racer that millenial fags like me want to buy, they'd be doing a lot better than they are.
>waiting for light to turn green
>look up, cant see
>truck behind me has bright light only on left reflection is blinding me
>light turns green start brake checking him and being slow hoping hell flash me and realize brights are on, never does
now I'm second guessing myself. I'm like 90% sure the high beam was on but with headlights today maybe he just had one really bright one so I feel kinda like an asshole now
>>17793741
I know how you feel. White headlights blind the fuck out of me, and my car sits low enough that any SUV, truck, or crossovers shine right through my windows. It makes it really hard to tell if it's their high beams or not.
I hate to have to explain this so I made a picture.
I drive a low car, I know why it happens. I've created my own hell.
>>17793780
>>17793817
true
yeah i have a celica so its low
usually bimmers are the worst bright ass headlights alone look like they always are the high beams and I think my lower car/seat position makes it worse
that's why I usually don't do anything when I think someone has their hibeams on
idk why I did today >.> but it looked like OP so I'm pretty sure it was an ignant truck driver

hey, I'm 19 and I just got my permit finally, looking for a first car that has good handling, fun to drive and fwd since most rwd cars are expensive. I was considering the frs but the cost of insurance, premium gas and potentially being stuck with a car I dont want when I want some more power put me off.
would a hatchback civic or celica be a good choice.

>>17793556
Eg hatch
>>17793556
What's your budget anon, we can't help unless we know the price range.
>>17793575
1000 or lower -2000 from an owner
or 50-200 a month financing from a dealer
Are there any cars or low wagons produced today (2015 and older) that still have frames?
Panther Platform (Crown Vics, Grand Marqs, and Town Cars) were body on frame. Production ended in 2011.
No. Trucks and true SUVs only. Panther platform ended in 2011 I think that was the last BOF car
>>17793536
BMW i3
which brand is better historically? which is better today?
Lincoln has always played catch up to Cadillac.
Cadillac use to be the biggest luxury brand in the world, now they are just nigger mobiles
