the day of the rope WHEN?
>>16389813
Just b urself bro ;)
why would you even want a slut
>>16389841
be a slut
do what ever you want.
Whether you're a Mopar, Chevy, or Ford guy, can we all agree that competition has led to the best muscle cars in 50 years?
>Hellcat makes 707hp while meeting emissions for an affordable price
>Camaro ZL1 and GT350R are stomping all over European cars at the track
>you can get over 400HP for under 40k from all three cars
May the horsepower wars never end.
And yet they all weigh 2 tons with stupid microwindows, and will break down every 2k miles.
>>16389777
CHECKED
and yes I agree. American muscle is where it's at.
>>16389777
you can still get 1000hp from a supra by buying it and adding a WOT slap.
Need a good reliable car that is sub 15k for my girlfriends partner. Thinking of getting him a 2014 touring civic or a older Ford sho.
>my girlfriend's partner
>>16389772
>Ford sho
>Reliable
Do a search for SHO welded CAM's.
Though the 4th gen SHO's aren't bad, and can be had in that price range. The only real issues are carbon on the valves (standard DI engine issue) and the PTU (SHO / MKS).
>>16389772
>touring civic
fuck that just get a regular civic EX if you really want the bells and whistles
only difference between the EX and touring is the leather, spoiler, and railguards
I hear that the civic is one of the most reliable vehicles on the market. But what about the ek's and eg's specifically. I might get one or the other
Eg: https://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/cto/5873648001.html/
Ek: https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/5931959547.html
Wish they weren't modded AF, but good mileage imo. How reliable do you think these ek's and eg's will be? How reliable have your's been? Better than a focus?
Buy it you stupid fucking shit bag
>>16389575
Get a corolla and be faster than civics and bmws.
Well I'll be damned. I guess somebody bought the Civic. In case another eg comes around, I'd like to hear about them anyway
My old man is looking for a fun car for a 3rd car. He's bent on getting new, or fairly new (preferrably CPO)
Other requirements:
>RWD
>Manual
> $35k absolute max, would prefer closer to $30k
>on the smaller/lighter side, so no brostangs
I've recommended the M235i because used ones can be had around his price point and they're damn fun, but he's wary of German reliability, and rightfully so.
Others he is considering:
>Toyobaru
>Fiata Abarth
>Miata Clubsport because fuck not having an LSD
Are we missing anything? Which would you /o/tists have?
>buy 1st gen Miata
>swap in LSD
>upgrade the suspension
>upgrade engine bits
It's literally a cheap fun car.
>>16389470
Nice meme, poor reading comprehension.
>>16389439
Is the 370Z worth a look? Just realized I had forgotten it. I get that it's heavier, but it also has more power.
I just found this Lexus, and it's about $4000 and has 180,000 miles on it, i think it's alot. Should i go for it?
>>16389430
fuck no, for $4000 you can get a way better car, you are falling for the RWD meme.
Is it even manual?
just by looking at it I can tell it'll break down soon.
>buying cars with over 100k miles from strangers
loving every mao
>>16389453
Yeah, it's manual.
Anyone else got some ambitious projects on the go?
Currently rebuilding my first ever car, a '73 beetle. Think a 400% increase in power should be enough for now.
>>16389420
Making some ballast mounts for my chink HID kit
>>16389420
What are you putting in it?
Pic related, my bae
>>16389420
gonna laff when you come on here crying about how you rolled the thing down a cliff while turning into pizza hut.
Would it be a mistake to buy an XTS?
>>16389379
It depends on the options you want are worth the premium over a impala of a similar year. I'd be worried about a Cadillac over 100k miles especially in 3 years.
>>16389424
Most likely from a livery fleet, so I I imagine it's been maintained

Since when is it legal to sell vanity plates privately?
>>16389336
since always. But, I think they have to be not registered on a car at the moment, and both people have to be at the DMV (seller and buyer) to confirm the transition of the plate
Here in Maryland the plates have to be three years or older of non registration before they can be traded or sold.
>>16389336
Depends on the state but it's not legal to transfer plates from one person another, just from car to car
So hard to choose between the two. Help a nigga out.
>>16389304
chromium
>>16389304
Go for the chromium. Looks better with the pearlescent paint.
Depends on your paint
Would bringing back good ole homologation into WRC spark back into life the affordable sporty fun car segment?
>>16389261
No, sir this is a restaurant you need to leave
>>16389261
No because they would be limited to something like 200-500 cars that nobody could afford anyways.
>>16389299
>Im poor so everyone else is poor.
Nigga you underestimate how many people have spending money.
What are these things on the individual throttle bodies called?
I know they are there to make sure nothing gets into them right?
>>16389179
Those ones? I'd call them "useless", the size of the holes in the screeening won't stop the particles that ruin your engine. If you were racing you'd probably be better off running open than with those, no power loss that way.
Pic related are more useful. Rob you of power a little more but they actually filter.
>>16389198
>Rob you of power a little more
REMOVE THIS CASUAL SHIT
>>16389179
It's just chicken wire or something similar cut and probably tied on.
>>16389198
It's to stop rocks and large objects from falling straight down in there, there usually taken off right before a race
I feel guilty any time I drive like an asshole
>Realize I need to get over a lane just before my exit
>Wall of cars next to me with a semi in front
>Fucking gun it and cut across them
I've been beating myself up over it all week.
Does anyone else have this problem? Am I just neurotic or something?
All the time. I hate upsetting people, even by accident.
I don't try to be an asshole driver but sometimes I just don't see people when I try to do something on the road. I don't mean harm but it happens and I end up feeling bad
>>16389154
I love being /devilish/
Sometimes I beep at the car in front of me as soon as the light turns green
Or I'll flash people to warn them of cops, when there arent any cops
Embrace it anon
>>16389305
I just keep thinking "What if I had hit someone?" or "What if he had to slam his brakes?" and feel like a criminal.
Damn you guys let my tow ruck tread die.. we had a pretty good thread last time let us continue, I was looking for advice on starting a single truck owner operator towing service, as well as any general tips, pictures or stories from the ditch thanks guys
>>16388980
