Who would ever want a horseless carriage? You wouldn't hear the delightful sound of a horses hoof as it clops along!

What does /o/ recommend for some snow wheels and snow shoes for my horses? They keep slipping off the road?
Good day sirs.
I don't get it. Are they bad cars? Why do they get hit in the balls with depreciation so much worse than every other sports car brand?
You have 2003 BMW M3 CSLs worth $80,000, and yet every C-class AMG is worth dongs.
You have 1987 Audi Sport Quattros at $475,000, and yet Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMGs just waste away in junkyards.
The only AMGs that depreciate the least (they don't even hold their value) are the SLS. Even the Black Series' turn into bargain-bin mobiles.
Did AMG ruin over extend their brand image? Is that why they are worthless?
You're comparing a CSL to a run of the mill AMG?
Look at the black series for proper comparison

For me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.
One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".
Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.
I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.
This style was considered the GOAT aesthetically pleasing looking modded car in 2000
things dun changed
Even in 2000 people would think the driver was a Mexican teenager with an IQ south of 90
where did it go so wrong

So I'm looking around for cheap cars, and I wonder about hearses.
Hear me out
Pro's:
* You know they previous owner did maintenance as much as possible. Who wants to have a hearse break down during a funeral?
* Low mileage - 60-80k on the clock
Cons:
* it'll be a GM
* Car might be haunted

>older brother wants to buy a camper
>decides on getting a hearse and retrofitting it
>pulls up in front of our house to pick up some stuff

>neighbors start bringing food over thinking someone died
>good eats for a few days
anyone?
I figure you gut the back and use land rover style bench seats inside.
>>16365039
yes it would be a good buy plus it's a lot of fun when I was a kid my dad had one, he would tunr the headlights on during the day and drive like 15mph all oncoming traffic would pull to the shoulder
>Remember that your $50k shitbox will depreciate by 50% in 2 years.
>>16364815
uh my 800$ shitbox will be worth 800$ even in 5 years. it may even become worth more because of its like new condition
>>16364815
No. Scooters are TERRIBLE.
Also, two wheels is hard and inconvenient. Driving a car can be done in shorts and sandals year-round in all weather if your heating works, and while carrying half a ton of bulky junk and four friends.
If you're committed to two wheels, just get a 125cc bike. Looks better, sounds better, goas faster, handles properly, doesn't bottom out on manhole covers, way more fun.
The route I'm going is a DD chosen for reliability and a bike chosen for fun. The only obstacle right now is that I'm limited to a 125cc until I know what I'm doing enough to pass a test for the proper full license.
>>16364815
If you're gonna get a scooter don't get a shitty chinese one, get a yamaha or honda or something, chinese ones are nothing but trouble.
thinking of picking up one of these shitboxes. What am I in for?
>>16363736
a reliable comfy luxobarge sedan with no aftermarket support to speak of.
>>16363736
what >>16363742 said really
it's a great car, great for dailying, great power (300hp) and more comfortable than most modern vehicles. The only mods that you'll really be able to do is a few suspension mods and a few minor engine mods. Only comes in automatic too. Not too bad on gas (21mpg average) for a v8. Perfect commuter desu.
>>16363736
Just make sure that it was well maintained. People often presume "reliable" means "neglectable" when it comes to those cars and fixing one that has problems can get expensive.
What are some cars that have aged remarkably well?

I Think you misspelled e46
>>16358034
This tbqh. The E36 is good but clearly old. The E46 looks more modern though not bloated as the E9x 3 Series.

>castle rock edition
Last time around no one could make up there fucking minds about where to have a meet.
Castle Rock is in the middle of the state and seems like a reasonable place every anon could drive to. Any interest in a square state meet?
>>16349651
Missed pt1 but it seems like these threads never go anywhere regardless
Springs plebs aside, most of us are north of Denver it seems, so I think just Denver would be good, Castle rock is a little far for those in Fort Collins or even Boulder. Additionally, if we try to organize a meet it would be really tough and few would show, I think it would be best to just meet up at an existing meet like nationwide
>>16349651

Too far for me.
now that the dust has settled
its time we finish this age old debate, which car maker is better? BMW or Mercedes?

I'll stick with the one that doesn't blow up when the warranty runs out.

I wish i had an automatic commuter car.
manuel is a bitch in traffic and stop lights
I'm bored of the manual meme. I don't want to shift gears anymore. It's tiresome. I just want to cruise in my 21st century automatic borebox.
I fell for the meme...don't do it!
New autos are superior in every way. Manual is literally a meme.

>>16358326
Sorry you live in a shit country where an automatic transmission is a """"luxury"""" option. It's OK. You can keep pretending having an outdated drivetrain makes you superior to make yourself feel better.

I need some. Mine got stolen lol
I gave all my tools to my brother when I moved, need to start from scratch now. I used to have pic related and it was full of basically duplicate sockets that I never used, and didn't have much room in the box for anything else. So I want to buy everything individually and get my own box for it.

All Craftsman. Am I forgetting anything that I should buy immediately?
I left out imperial stuff since I don't work on anything domestic.
Also what box should I get?
I wouldn't buy Craftsman anything, get Sunex, Tekton, Gearwrench, those are about the same price or cheaper and better quality. Box depends how big you are talking
>>16367168
Is Tekton really any better than Craftsman, and does it have a lifetime warranty?
>>16367168
>>16367186
I could buy literally twice as many tools on Amazon if I go Tekton instead of Craftsman, makes me suspicious that they're cheap junk. I was thinking about getting Snap-On pliers and ratchets...
