Theres a bike general containment thread... go there

Memetier marketing ruse

gs 500 with a kymco scooter engine cavemen tier bike tech covered in fake plastic fuckery to appear like a big boy bike with a low but still immensely too high of a price. It's a literal marketing ploy for people who take youtube vlogs as gospel.

Get a real bike and limit it if you're that inept or unconfident.

Don't buy a 300. The value proposition is simply not there. Bikes like the Ninja 300, CBR 300, Yamaha R3, and RC390 are all complete memes.

A Ninja 250 for $1,500 will fulfill literally all of your needs. If you're going to be doing extensive highway travel, just get a SV650 instead. No, it's not too much power.

Both of these bikes will retain their value and will be much cheaper to buy.

Far too heavy to be a true CRX successor but at its core it is a Honda. If it's cheap, seems good, and you're OK with cargo space and visibility I'd consider it.

>>16428615
It's a cheap Honda.

Less interior volume than the Fit.
Less visibility than the Fit.
Worse fuel economy than the Fit.
Heavier than the Fit.
Slower than the Fit.

But looks better than the Fit.

Even with shit in the back can you see out that slanted rear window? It looks like it'd be hard to see out of.

You made this thread the other day.
We already said no.

what's the reliability like? is it as awful as that other early 2000's retro-car, the PT Cruiser?

Ford Retro car = Thunder Cougar Falcon
Chevy tries to make a retro car = Chevy SSR and HHR

Mopar tries to make a retro car = pic related

If you have a brain you should be able to figure it out

>what is leverage force

Hub centric with stronger studs = OK
Flat washers with holes = retarded

That link gave me cancer

Price is realistic for a 220k km base engine Twingo but I would have never bought my dad the cheapest car possible. At least buy him one for 1000 or something with that will actually not fall apart after a few months.

Also, just because it is cheap and everything about the car is cheap doesn't mean fixing costs can't add up when the former owner didn't fix anything (which is most likely the case here since he even sells it as "bastlerfahrzeug").

>"wer bisschen was machen kann..." (whoever can fix some stuff...)
>no tüv
>bastlerfahrzeug

all red flags.
that car will probably realistically cost around 500 to 600 since getting it through the TÜV alone costs as much as the whole car and he hinted already that there needs to be shit done to get it through the inspection.

>>16428295
how will a dash cam film someone rear ending you?

>>16428299
...put it on the rear window?

>>16428295
dude if someone rear ends you its practically they're fault 100% of the time.

also what sort of shithole are you living in, ive been driving in england for 8 years and the only issue i have is old people not looking when pulling out from junctions

HNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

screams 80's

Definitely the latter. It's not a bad thing though, and probably about time you get your shit together.

I know people in their mid and late 20s that haven't reached this point yet. Annoying as fuck

>>16428135

You're getting wiser anon.
Like the other anon said, that's a good thing.

I don't know man. Sometimes I feel like I should stop driving on public roadways, but all my friends say I'm probably the safest driver they know. My track times down in Waterfold Hills has decreased greatly. Could be the two years of experience or modifications, but I don't know if that counts towards driving on public roadways.

to give the idea
this is how our old car battery looked
and before charging we would unscrew those covers you see there
you could add distillate water if level seemed low
and you could see bubles go through when charging

the new one has no covers, so I would very much liked to prevent some explosion of build up.

found instructions from exide
and seems it should all go well, no mentioning of other procedures except for typical ones

compromise and buy a car with a DCT, Dual Clutch Transmission.
DCTs are essentially 2 manual transmissions slammed together and automated, so you get the reliability and speed of a manual, but it's automated so it's like driving an automatic. Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche are famous for them, but other manufacturers have started using them in recent years. All 2011+ and 2012+ Ford Fiesta and Ford Focus automatics use 6 speed DCTs. 2016+ Acura ILX and TLX's use an 8 speed DCT.
GM is rumored to be working on a DCT for the next Corvette and Camaro, among others possibly.

daily automatic
manual for fun

failing that, just get a beater which you don't have to give a shit about

>>16427625

If you are stuck in traffic daily for multiple miles then manual.

Don't know about that model but maybe look at the Joying Android head units. They're about $300 depending on the size/model

>>16427491
Thanks OP. You just given me new goals.
Looks like an Xperia in head unit form.
