DRZ killer
best bike ever
No Australian classic car or American car ill ever be as cool as this.
Muscle car owners can try make their cars equally as cool with tacky flame paint jobs, big 500hp engines, tacky blowers out the hood.. Tacky 20inch billet wheels, and tacky chip foose paint jobs but really you are just showing people with taste that you are a cashed up bogan or red neck.
>>16252286
what about British cars with big fat American engines?
>>16252295
They are cool so long as red necks don't get their hand on them and add big shiney wheels and shitty paint jobs.
>>16252299
oh god, that's the one thing that keeps me from buying mopar and GM. they insist on ugly Chrome rims
In terms of a car being the absolute best in as many categories as possible, does the BMW E39 M5 take the cake?
>can be bought reasonably cheaply
>classless, timeless looks
>godlike interior
>godlike V8 engine note
>manual gearbox only
>hugely powerful, 400bhp is a lot unless you're a shitposting busrider
>suspension isn't stupidly harsh
>RWD for optimum driving enjoyment
>decent fuel economy on a cruise
>non-BMW people just think its a 20 year old 520i
>BMW people will want to suck your fat dick
>can seat 5 people in reasonable comfort
>good amount of luggage space
>isn't huge like modern four door cars
>used market is flooded with clean, non-riced examples
>shares most of its components with the rest of the E39 platform
>from an era of BMW before Chris Bangle ruined the brand
>from an era of BMW before maintenance was needlessly complex
>from an era of BMW when an M badge actually meant something
I can't think of any car that even comes close to ticking so many boxes.
inb4 the shitposters arrive and criticise it for not having the same reliability and maintenance schedule as their 110bhp Civic
I mean, I would like to own an e39 m5 for my collection but I don't think it fits the god car narrative
The e60 m5 is probably the god car.
>Unmatched v10 sound
>At one point the fastest saloon in the world
The e63 AMG or the e60 m5 definitely my pick for god cars.
For current time though I'd rather a 2016 AMG over the m5
Don't get me wrong the e39 is great, but I'd take an e34 any day.
>love the styling more, less bloated imo
>muh handmade
>many of your boxes I agree with are ticked
Both are bonerific though.
>>16252355
>The e60 m5 is probably the god car.
Yeah but it gets 1mpg, it's a nigger/indian's car and the maintenance costs are astronomical. Plus its a Bangle car, it looks good but its very shouty.
Have you ever been sexually attracted to a car?
>>16252237
Started seeing this girl recently. So we go out for 2 dates.. I pick her up etc. I drive a 2010 mustang.. Pretty nice nbd.
Anyway I'm supposed to pick her up for our 3rd date but my Stang is in the shop. I tell her to reschedule.. She tells me she can get her dad's car and pick me up... I oblige.
This girl is 18 btw... Comes and picks me up in a 2016 Porsche Cayenne fully as fully loaded can be (apparently her dad is a serious enthusiast and used to even drive a 911 turbo) . I literally got a semi.. Not even exaggerating. I was admiring the car more than her. Touching it and shit. We ended up hooking up that night and it was fucking great.
I still love my baby but man... That was something else.
>>16252263
shit dude, if her dad lets her pick you up in that, he must have faith in you.
>>16252237
I'm only into cars for the sex. (With the cars.)
I need ideas regarding keychains and such.

how bad is it to change the oil and not the filter?
i want to do my oil before the weather gets too bad but filters are hard to find and i haven't got one yet
Probably OK. You do have a bypass valve if the backpressure gets too high from clogging.
I do that on my dual sport motorcycle. Since it's air / oil cooled I change the 2qt of oil every 2000 miles, but the filter every other oil change.
Of course it's better to change it every time, but every other is OK. If you're clogging a pleated paper filter every oil change you have much much bigger problems.
>>16251913
Idk let's think about what you just asked.
>Let's take this dirty oil out
>put in nice new clean oil
>run nice clean oil through dirty filter
>wow I just wasted 15minutes changing my oil to do it again once I buy a filter.
>>16251952
i get that it's not ideal
but if i don't do it now it probably won't get done until the spring and i feel it's much worse for it to sit all winter with old oil
how much do you hate the 919 coupe?
>that exhaust
Ayylmao
Looks jap. Not that it's a bad thing.
>>16251878
Next year the taillights will be microscopic specks on the arse, and the exhaust will be bigger with more chrome.
What color did you choose for your car and why?
>>16250738
I didn't get to choose it. It was literally a case of telling the dealership what I wanted and my budget, they matched it against their database, and then I test-drove it and bought it.
It's silver. I wanted either black or dark blue, but silver was okay too so I didn't object.
I'd have gone for a different car if it was yellow or pink or something, but it would also have been £1k cheaper if it had been some stupid colour.
I almost always choose darker colors, I feel like they look sleeker and cleaner, currently have a red shit box but if I had the choice it'd be black. Red also has a higher insurance (higher theft rate)

Well, /o/?
Why haven't you bought an old cop car yet?
>>16249004
>v8
>passes up everything but gas stations.
Gas, i don't feel like stopping often to fuel.
>>16249004
but i did
>>16249104
how often is "often" to you? I gas up every 2 weeks. I can even go at least a week more if I really want to stretch it

>when you do drive it, it gets driven very slowly
>put 300 miles a year on it
Why?
Because you don't dd a supercar, even if is it a GT. You are meant to drive it in the weekends, you are supposed to drove it on tracks. You are not supposed to do this everyday but a couple of times a month
>>16246677
I totally get that, but some people seem to just never ever drive their supercars.
Say you drive your car once every weekend for maybe 125 miles, if you owned it three years that would be almost 20,000 miles. Hop onto Autotrader and there are about 10 billion 10+ year old supercars, even entry level ones like an F430 or Gallardo, that have less than 10,000 miles on them. These are 10-15 year old cars at this point and they've never been driven, they aren't even an appreciating asset.
>>16246631
They become so expensive they become unusable. They're mainly status symbols.
I bought a 1989 240 DL for $800. Its got 138k on the odometer. I have desposible income and Im looking for ideas.
So far Ive found a nice set of 15s with NOS Nord winter tires. I also bought '64 p1800 beauty caps.
I dont think I want to lower it, maybe the opposite. I dunno, never had a 240 before Im open to Ideas.
>>16241648
It's already sitting like a monster truck, why would you want to go higher?
It's not gonna look good sitting higher.
you should either turbo it or swap it, I'm doing a turbo V8 swap on my 240 right now.
Also what wheels are you looking at?
they are 5x108 which is pretty uncommon, I converted my shit to 114.3 so I can run pretty much any wheel I want now.
>>16241667
Its got 14s on it thats why theres such a gap. I live in the country too, this isnt something I want to slam and take to H2O

Why wont Mazda or Nissan just start manufacturing exact same RX-7 and R34s as years ago? There is a market for them and they still have all the necessary plans for manufacturing.

Crash and safety standards.
>>16254498
Emissions, too.
If they did, they wouldn't be any more affordable than what they are now.
