feels good man, was even designed by Giugiaro himself as well

>>16315584
Because petrol is more common.

Camaro 1LEs and Vette Grandsports already do... but GM has long offered uprated crate engines based on production engines that dont find their way into regular cars... usually for emissions and mpg target reasons

>>16325517
>What are the common issues
Rice taxed to hell and back, often poorly modded and/or beaten on to the point where it's about to break. You'll never find one stock, but if you can find one with consistent maintenance records that's about as good as it gets.

>And what are the better alternatives
The WRX STi was its direct competitor. Give those a look too, but bear in mind you'll be seeing the same issues of vape tax, eBay mods and cunts looking to unload busted models.

>>16325517
the newer one's are kind of big, but otherwise if you want the all wheel drive i'd be looking for an STI- they're not better than the evo's while on track but they're much much cheaper for nearly the same.

if you're not modding go for a subaru.

>>16325552
>>16325559

I figured the STI would be the most competitive, is there anything else that comes close to these? Or are these considering they are stock and not modded by shitters the best options without compromising the sports car feel?

Slush, ice buildup

Yes

Barnacles. mfw go to kick them off and they pull off a fresh chunk of rust. Fuck salt.

Probably nothing permanent, check your bushings and ball joints

And what I mean by "I hope you can understand" is I'm not really sure if I'm being clear or what I'm asking makes sense

>>16325344
do you think those components would have gotten damaged enough from 1 hard hit to being making noises?

>72 pack
Jesus Christ I bought a truck once and the dude had about 9 on the mirror and I found another 5 under each seat. It still smelled like that shit for months and one day I replaced the stereo and found 10 behind each ac vent.

>>16324956
No. Most cars made in the last 3 years are shit. Tiny windows, high beltline, shitty safety features, etc

>>16324997
Not everyone on /o/ wants to look poor, senpai.

>>16324956
Within 3 years, usually the car is still depreciating rapidly. The only time this is not true is if demand for the used car is still very high, which is usually only true for low production models. You can expect depreciation to level off about 7 years after it was sold, but again you'll have to look into your specific make and model to figure out the exact dynamics. New generations usually cause depreciation of the entire old generation, etc.

The problem is that it will be difficult to find someone who will finance a 7-year-old used car. Your bank probably won't do it.

My advice? If you think the car has depreciated enough, and for some reason have some need for a recent, within 3yrs car, then getting the loan could be worth it.

I personally wouldn't do it, as I pay cash for my cars.

>>16324956
No shit it's got a negative slope, because youths aren't going to be set in a career yet.. Pretty useless figure unless you compare both groups at the same age.

>>16324237
Slow board, fuck off

Why do you think you need an additional battery to run those? Will there be enough draw so that your alternator wont cope? Will you be using them with the engine off?

mfw op wires it in series and fries every component in his car

you dont need an aux batt for lights and a cb. I have all of those.
also cbs are pretty shit if youre offroading with mates just get a 2 way.

>>16324264
Yes and no.
I still may also upgrade the alternator at some point, but the intent is have the option to run those with the engine off when I want to, yes. Additionally, given that it's not the optimal use, I would have the (LAST LAST) option of using it as a jump battery if my battery shits the bed and I have been stupid enough to not replace it by that point.

Thats a keeper if she hops on.
