Hyundai/Kia in a nutshell.
i don't get it.

Hey /o/, are there any specific reasons I should NOT get a 300d if I have the chance?
We are going to give you the SAME ANSWERS AS THE REST OF THE INTERNET. GOOGLE THIS FUCKING CAR
- RUST
- SLOW
- COMFY
- RELIABLE
My mom had that exact car in that color, grew up choking on the diesel fumes in the backseat. The price is inflated a bit because of people doing veggie conversions. The drivetrain and chassis is great obviously but they aren't immune to electrical issues like instruments and window regulators. They are shitty to drive and not particularly comfortable.

You will lose in a drag race agianst any lincoln town car.
Are Europeans too stupid to drive automatic? It's literally not that hard.

Are Americans too stupid to drive standard? It's literally not that hard

How can you call yourself a man?
Inb4, as you age everything gets harder, and making things easy is smart. Like what is a chair even? "It's too hard for me to stand!"
So what's stopping /o/ from making a car? I don't mean customizing a beater, or building one from scrapped parts, but actually designing, manufacturing and marketing a vehicle?
>>16436709
Probably safety regulations and shit.
We're all busriders who know jack shit about cars except benchracing figures.
>>16436709
No one on /o/ knows anything about cars. Its just benchracers and shitposters
I recently bought a 240sx ka24e after it had been sitting for about 5-10 years and i got it up and running and drove it down the street and had someone record it for me and there was a bit of blue smoke coming out of the exhaust i did a compression test and all the cylinders were at 135 so im guessing the rings are ok unless they're all fucked. The smoke stopped when i parked the car and i read somewhere that if there is smoke on idle it would be a leak in the valves but there isnt so i dont know what to look at now. Any suggestions?
>>16436610
>buying a 240sx
Youll never stop throwing money at it.
Good luck moron
Your valve stem seals have gone hard. It's not the end of the world. I'd ignore it personally, had it on a lot of cars.
>>16436624
This. My KA24E was the same. They are not too terribly hard to replace, but it is a pain in the ass.
Bought a 2011 GTI a few days ago

yeah you fucked up. i love smoking you vaping faggots in my m3.

Just got approved for a loan (even though I can pay outright cash, I just need to build up some of my credit). Getting my first motorcycle, the CB300F. Am I making any mistakes? Any other alternative to consider? I'm just commuting 30 miles to work, so this will save a few bucks for me.
>>16436217
get a CBR300R instead
Girls won't fuck you if they see you on a 300F
>>16436217
>honda
Not the best choice.
>>16436217
Get whatever the fuck meets this criteria:
>Used
>Cheap
>Reliable
>Able to perform all around riding
>Something that looks moderately nice to you
That's it. After riding and owning a motorcycle for a little while, you're gonna discover what things you personally really value in a motorcycle. Use this knowledge to ditch your first motorcycle (remember you bought it cheap.) asap and get the motorcycle that fits the bill of your now-known needs list.
Then be happy.
Your first bike should be the trial run bike that makes you fall in love with riding and you can get rid of right away, but that's not to say the next bikes will be keepers either. You're always exploring.
1st gen isuzu troopers
what do you guys think?
i can get a 3 door 83 for around $4200,exterior is spotless and the interior is in pretty good condition
iirc it has a 2l 1g swap,other than that pretty stock
>>16436164
>what do you guys think?
They're okay for what they are. Nothing special.
>i can get a 3 door 83
Wouldn't pay over $2000.
>>16436185
cars here are much more expensive than anywhere else so just cut that price in half
>>16436164
awesome. convert it into the ultimate survival vehicle like that youtube guy
if i took a brand new car off the lot and put it into storage for 16 years, what would i need to do to it to get it back to new condition/operational after i pull it out of storage?
Unused gas will go bad.
Rubber parts and hoses will likely be rotten.
Old tires might go flat and decay.
Ded battery.
Mold everywhere if the storage unit is not dry enough.
>>16436211
i planned on putting it on jackstands and draining the coolant. debated whether i should put a cover over it since it was going to be in a garage. was also just going to straight pull the battery out.
was also thinking about tossing some mothballs and dessicant packs in the inside.

Where were you when subaru turned to black people instead of vapelords?
>>16435964
WHY ARE YOU STILL USING THE EJ YOU SHITS IT'S BEEN LIKE 3 YEARS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
So /o/, you have one 2016 econobox you can choose. Must be under 20k.
Bonus points if base model.
>Mazda 3 2.0L Manual
whats with the 20k bs?
i pick a miata then i guess

You have 30 seconds to justify why your car doesn't use a Supercharged LS9 engine.
>sounds absolutely fucking god tier
>muh supercharger whine
>monster torque, 600lbs ft or more
>relatively compact for its power output
>reliable as fuck
>aftermarket support is near infinite
>maintenance is a piece of cake
>fuel economy isn't too awful
>women will all want to suck your dick
Basically if your car uses any other engine you are probably either autistic or you just aren't even trying.
>>16435895
5.3 with a turbo is cheaper with better output
>like 30 grand
Il keep my ls1
Contrary to what your 16 years old brain has thought up, cars don't make women suck dick. American V8s all sound the same dogshit. Fuel economy still horrid for practical application considering the local fuel prices. Excessive effort for swapping it into my car model. Regulatory hurdles.

Would have bought one but the fake carbon vents are dumb.
Getting an ILX instead.
