Is it even worth getting a 1st gen mustang in auto? I'm not a manual purist so I don't mind, I want to know the car's road manners and if the auto box is reliable or not anymore.
>>16439865
It's a safe bet that a 1st gen mustang will have a rebuilt slush box. The question then being, when was it rebuilt?
It's not a particularly fast car, nor does it drive particularly well. Ergo, no one will give a shit that it's an auto-trans.
1st gen anyhting are best simply admired.

Old muscle is better enjoyed in Automatic. Embody the spirit of the times, of great American excess. We'd just busted tons of ass as a country and the 60s/70s were the time to reap the rewards of all our hard work. Only literal cuckolds bought the manuals of these machines back in their heyday.

does anyone else think a built (not stock) fc looks good
Looking to trade in my DeVille shitbox w/ 93K miles for a cheap, reliable work truck of some sort.
Any suggestions? I was thinking maybe a Tacoma or a Silverado.
Otherwise an AWD vehicle like a Su-bro-ru or Volvo. Any feedback/advice is helpful, thanks.
why awd?
anyway just get what you find a good deal on
>>16439678
If gas mileage isn't an issue, get a late 90s z71. Best truck I've ever owned. Great motor, great tranny, great diffs, etc. I have the extended cab long bed, and my only gripe is the long wheelbase. Solid truck all around.

I've had some scary experiences in fresh snow with this thing, even when traction engages.
Asking as someone very interested in one, but not a huge wallet.
How much should you pay for a reasonably good condition mx5/miata and for what year?
Realistically, could one be got for under 3-4K and not be a money pit and need a shit ton of money spent on it immediately.
And if I was to go for a rougher one, how much are they to put back to a reasonable standard?
What are the biggest faults with these cars, or costs that they 9/10 will incur?
bumping

If you're willing to spend 5-6k get an NB as they're a direct upgrade from the NA (don't let NA drivers dissuade you, the NB even handles better than the NA)
The only real problems are rust

use the catalog next time u cuck

we have a miata general
Let's talk about engines /o/. Realistically the volvo inline 5 is the best engine that any of you bus riders can ever hope to afford.
>God like eargasmic sound
>200+ hp for under $1000

There's nothing that can beat it
at least post the turbo version. fuck you
Let's talk about engines /o/. Realistically the Mercedes-Benz inline 4 is the best engine that any of you bus riders can ever hope to afford.

>1-N-2-X
Makes sense for a safety measue. Need to get going quickly? Mash down as fast as you can and you will be in first. If you want to upshift fast with N-1-2-X you may end up staying in N or overshooting to 2nd/3rd and stall, not moving at all.
>not N-1-2-X with a neutral lockout mechanism
You don't need neutral when you're moving. It's purely for standing still. If you need to disengage the power from the rear at any point the key word here is clutch.
>GP shift is almost never a factory option
Makes sense to have a standard in the industry. And for the minority that want the GP-shift pattern there are tons of aftermarket possibilities. A motorcycle with GP-pattern is just likely to sit around because no one buys a GP pattern bike to convert it to standard. Not worth the effort for like 0.01% of target audience.
FJR1300 or FZ1?
All I want is
>strong torque
>half fairing
>hard bags
>crisp handling

>>16438221
Lol you bitch. You shouldn't have let him pass you, even if you had to hit 150. Since he did pass you then slam the breaks you should have just hit going 80. He would have spun out and crashed like an idiot and it would have been his fault.
>Whenever someone tailgates me, I drive 10 kph under the speed limit
fuck that, i speed the fuck up.
i wanna see how brave that asshole is.
if they're tailgating me on a freeway that is a 70mph limit, i'll do 100mph just to spite that dick
then they just limp off to the right lane, without fail

So, I own a 2005 Chevy Avalanche with the z71 off roading kit. It is all completely stock and I'm not sure if I want to make a sleeper street truck or an off roading truck. What should I do?
>>16437850
Obviously a bigger lift and larger chrome rims with thinner profile tires. More chrome trim pieces will really help too.
>>16437860
No, believe it or not, I actually don't hate myself!
>>16437850
Make a sleeper street truck.
