hey /o/
what are some good /o/ related jobs?
I've lived and breathed cars for as long as I can remember. never went to college, started out as a lube tech at a Ford dealership, worked my way up to a flat-rate light line tech, could barely make enough money to get by, switched to detailing and still wasn't really making a livable wage. so I started as a service writer in the Quick Lane and eventually moved over to the main service drive. I have never hated my life more than I do right now because people are wretched, entitled sacks of shit that just want to yell at you and demand shit for free and then slam you on surveys even after you bend over backwards to make them happy. I'm paid off of commission but I get a 2% monthly bonus for good CSI. I have been in this position for 10 months and have not once met the CSI goal even though I try my ass off. I'm not one of the people that can just leave work and forget about my shitty day and this job fucking kills me.
are there any other /o/ related positions that pay well without college experience? I don't know what else I'd ever do with myself because cars are all I know but if I keep doing this I'm going to need a liver transplant before I'm 30. is sales an okay gig? I've never liked that it seems like you have to maintain a certain level of shadiness to be a good salesperson.
what say you, /o/?

I know that feel mang...
Sales people are super shitty people though. You sound like an honest guy.
Ever think about starting your own detail shop?
>>
>>16425672
I have a friend that does really high-end detailing, has his own small business and has been incredibly successful. but due to a back injury, I don't think it's something I could do for a living any longer and though I was good at it on a dealership level I don't think I could ever work up the nerve to do paint correction on 1-of-1 vintage exotics like my friend does.
I had thought of trying to start up a repair shop with the idea of running a shop that's up-front, no bullshit "shop fees" and a reasonable hourly rate. the dealer I'm currently at charges $139.95/hr and that's also pretty much the minimum charge besides for menu-priced maintenance items. and then the shop charge is 17% up to a max of $64.95 which is fucking ridiculous.
but anyway this idea of mine is pretty unrealistic because I have virtually no money to invest into starting something, Denver is fucking stupid expensive and I wouldn't even begin to know where to start looking for anyone else to jump in with me because I'm pretty new to the area.

>>16425760
Thats why i sold my detail shop. SI joint pain is pretty bad.
Currently unemployed. Im too honest and straight forward for most jobs. Cant do manual labor because of my back.

To be honest thats not bad it's an entire 54 seconds faster than the 2L GT86 managed on what is very much a power cuircuit. A full 11% faster than a car les than half it's price with a third of the displacement. Nice work GM.
recommend my girlfriend a good smallish suv available on the european market.
A german shepherd must fit in the trunk.

Her money or yours? If hers, don't even bother making suggestions. Women are illogical when it comes to car purchases. They only care about:
>muh awd
>muh seating position

If your money; kill yourself. Don't buy a car for a gf.

How much of a good idea would it be to get an R34 GTT and keep it until prices inevitably skyrocket when they can be imported to the USA? Would I be better off spending my money on something different? I'm in the UK, by the way.

You need a clean, climate controlled spot you can keep it for YEARS all while balancing maintenance and driving it every now and then as oil needs to be circulated etc. If you got that, then go for it
>>
>>16424888
Is it really that important that I keep it in such circumstances? I mean, an R34 is an R34 (as long as I don't ruin it somehow)...
>>
The thing is. As someone from burgerland. Nobody wants the r34 tt. 90% of Americans only know of the r34 gtr. If you get the rwd turbo version it will hold its value but not appreciate like the actual gtr will here.

Anyone own a Hyundai Santa Fe? I'm thinking of buying a 07 with 180k miles. I saw it today, body's in good shape some rust around the brakes, not on them itself but in the wheel if that makes sense. Anyone know any specific issues with this model? I noticed the airbag light was on and also when turning the car would skip/hesitate. The guy said it could be the ball joints but he's not sure. I'm getting it checked by a shop tomorrow to see which he's cool with so that's a plus.
With that said is it a good idea to buy this car in general?

It better be extremely cheap if it's got that many miles. Hyundai's aren't known for their longevity. It's probably pretty close to the end of it's life by now.
What does /o/ think of the turd gen Firebird? I'm considering getting a z31 but the Firebird looks attractive too. the only thing is I've been in 3rd gen camaros before and visibility was pretty bad. not to mention it's like 500lb heavier than the z31.
how good would a firebird be on the touge?

I was pretty much set on getting a z31 if I could find a decent one. I'd prefer a 2+2 though and it's hard to find a turbo version, if at all. and the NA only makes 160hp. there's not much you can do with the VG30E except swap in the turbo engine. on the other hand I could have 200+hp with a v8 firebird, but that would be useless if it sucks at taking corners.

both of these cars cant turn for shit

F bodies actually handle fairly well, especially for their age.
(inb4 memes, do some research)
>visibility
Welcome to coupes. Adjust your mirrors properly and the rear corner blindspot won't be a thing.
However you will have to get an auto f body, they only put the manuals in the 305 turds because the manuals are made of glass.
What did he mean by this?

I think it was a philosophical identification of the lost values that were recovered within 2016 on a scale that has been unprecedented since the 1970s. Some might say that this is over analytical and I'm being overly verbose while trying to fill space, but to those I say Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum. Overall, I rate this clarkson meme a 7/10 on the science scale and a 5/10 on the comedy scale. It is truly remarkable what has been accomplished in our time and for that we should tank 2016. All the memories, the technological advancements, cars produced, the rumors of the RX9 (rip) and the final BTFO of Nissan by Chevy. This this truly a remarkable time to be alive, /o/tists.

Why are people freaking out over this like they didn't know it was coming? Listen, I'm a diehard muscle car fan through and through and have always been in love with the Mustang (my first car was a 1990 Mustang GT). But this isn't really all that bad. Ford hasn't said anything about the type of engine it would have, so there's still hope for a V8. And even if it doesn't have a V8, Ford said it would create just as much power but even more torque thanks to the electric motors. But for those not convinced, look at it like this:
Many supercars and hypercars are going hybrid. Some of the highest-level race cars (specifically the LMP1 racers at LeMans) are hybrids. But when people hear "hybrid", they shudder because all they can think of is a Prius. But hybrids have many performance advantages. They allow for better acceleration and more torque since the electric motors get 100% of their power instantly. That's why many of the high-end cars have them. Yet unlike fully electric cars they still benefit from an ICE engine and get better top speeds and overall range. So if this technology has now flowed down the ladder from hypercars all the way to the Mustang, why freak out when (according to Ford) we're getting the same amount of power, more torque, and likely better acceleration? It's literally a superior car - it has better acceleration and likely and an extremely similar (perhaps even better) top speed. AND it has better fuel economy as an added bonus.
I can see where some people's fears are coming from, but when looking at the grand scheme of things, this is actually a good thing!

there was a guy in a hybrid new mustang at my store the other day
looked like it just came from auto zone and had shitty vinyls
sounded like it had a hole in the exhaust, or it was broke or something
guy was revving it, and did a high RPM shift outta the parking lot for no aparent reason other htan to show off his sweet mustang
