Bullshit

I forgot people put literal water in their coolant system

Wow ouch

I've heard of guys down south running 1/3rd coolant and 2/3rds distilled water. I mean, who would run 50/50 if you NEVER see anything below 10 degrees Celsius /50 degreesFahrenheit

straight water is better for heat dissipation but has no anti-corrosion properties. Did you pop a freeze plug or you're a lucky sonofabitch?

If you have a good car, it needs synthetic. If you have a piece of garbage, regular.

>>16356114
Don't certain cars require synthetic? My last car did, since it had oil change every 5k. Is there anyway to know for sure assuming the manual doesn't tell you?

Jesus fucking Christ, does no one know the answer to this fucking question? I don't understand how you people can know all this other shit about cars yet you can't know for sure whether or not the shit you're driving requires synthetic or not. Fuck

Question.

How are these parking spots any different from the other ones, to be suited for expectant mothers and families with small children?

>>16356118
I only know one place that had these signs and it was a certain hospital wing.

Into the trash

Dad has a 15' A8 4.0T sport and when I took it to get serviced at the dealer, the salesman he bought it from offered me to take an S8 plus out for a spin

Was definitely fast as fuck (can hit 60 mph in 3.4 seconds from what I've read) and handles pretty well. Would totally buy one over an S63 AMG just because you can get an S8 for $140k vs. $170k for the S63 which handles worse and is slower.

Only issues is that it's heavy as fuck and could definitely feel it in the corners, there is just no hiding the fact it weighs nearly 5000 lbs. Also, it didn't feel that much faster than a normal A8 with the 4.0t V8.

It might be only because of these features but no, cause I'm not a fan of Audi's.

People are insanely lazy, especially if they got money and can just throw it at someone else to do the work

I don't have a garage or a house or any room to put tools. I can afford it so I'd rather just let people do the work for me, unless it's something that takes under an hour, like changing tires.

nah

PCs are literally legos

cars are legos that your sibling glued together and left outside for 20 years and requires expensive tools to get apart

There's also this one I was interested in. 04 civic coupe with 99k miles. I wanted a newer year but I've read that Hondas are really dependable and last really long.

3k civic

>>16355733
Go for the civic?

Sorry, I really have no one I can ask for advice on cars. I usually get my dad to help but he passed earlier this year. Just trying to get a reliable car that'll last me some years.

>>16355728
What's wrong with Korean cars?

Is "sport-cruiser" a meme?

>>16355137
Theres no such thing as sport cruiser

>>16354957
how does the torque compare? At low revs especially?

>>16354965

The rule of thumb is the 3.0t makes about 30ish more torque, and has 30ish less horses than the 3.7 VQ in the earlier sedans.

To be fair, the 3.0t is a more modern engine design and probably more efficient, but I am a stickler for NA setups just because of personal preference.

Also the 3.0t is the upgraded engine, and base is still the german I4 turbo 2.0.... 3.7 NA used to be standard

There's a 400 hp 3.0 twin turbo Q50 option. Might not be out yet.

Just don't buy a shitty Lancer. Get a used Civic SI/Ford Focus ST/Mazdaspeed3 if you want a fun shitbox.

>>16354239
Get a civic for 3k. Why would you pay 16k or more for a shitty lancer that hasn't been changed in 10 years?

>>16354305
seriously, this.

mitsubishi doesn't make anything new that is worth a damn currently.

>>16353210
Your mom, but only because I don't want to break the suspension.

I'm afraid of working with spring compressors, and vital engine components.

i dont do anything to my car, just pay the dealer for peace of mind

this.

and maybe a jack and some jack stands (not sure which ones I want yet).

I would like a GT-R

A 2.0 MX-5 or a new GT-86, both red.

The problem is that I don't have any rich friend who can buy me one of them, actually I don't have friends at all.
