is a GT-R a good starter car for a student?
basically my logic is this: used it goes for about 50k, but if it has problems it can be cheaper. that with some uber'ing i can pay it off pretty quick while justifying reckless driving. the insurance itself covers damages too. plus ill get all the female customers instantly while you guys are driving alone while worrying that your black ice won't hide the smell of sadness. win win win yes?

dont buy it for cheap and with problems, its going to ruin you when it comes to even cosmetic damage.
with a car like this a small bump on the parking lot is probably going to cost you thousands, especially if the hood pops out (pederastian safety feature)
a good car for a student is cheap and reliable.
For uber it has to be a 7 year or newer vehicle that is 4 door 5 seater minimum. Also wtf, GT-R for a student?

And i'll tell you all about when I see you again...
First you both go out of your way and vibe is feeling strong, and what's small turn to a friendship a friend turn into a bond, and that bond will never be broken, and the love will never get lost ;_;

I've only ever changed wiper blades, how terrible of an idea would this be?

Bad.
The renesis is notorious for being even more of a fickle bitch than the 13b.
They require a lot of preventative maintenance, arguably the most out of any engine/configuration, but the benefit is that, since its a rotary engine, catastrophic failure is nigh impossible.
Its definitely not a car for beginners.
Buy a shitbox and learn out to wrench first, because the rotary is alien territory when you first get into it.
>>16244191
That's a nice ass
>>16244191
Just buy a shit one with fucked up engine and have it rebuilt.
Literal perfection, you can't deny it.

Fuck I need some sleep
My next days off feel so far away. I'm ready to rip out my old exhaust. And install my shock mount bushings.
So here's my situation. I am a traveling business that makes custom gadgets. I currently have a 2000 Buick Lesabre that I absolutely love. The bench seat is comfortable as hell for 1000+ mile trips and the cab can hold my entire workshop which I haul from convention to convention. Problem is, I try to keep up with it (oil changes, spark plugs, tire rotations, etc), but every trip, something goes wrong and drains whatever money I have made for the trip. I'm looking for a car that can really take those long trips and heavy loads but still be somewhat reliable. Key things that I need:
* Ability to load and haul about 500+ pounds of stuff along with my 230 pound ass.
* Lots of room (full size preferred) in front as I am 6'3" and being in a car for 9 hour days gets a little cramped.
* Able to take two or three yearly 4000-6000 mile trips, each trip lasting 2-4 weeks.
I've try Google searching and reading some articles but nothing is the same from one article to the next and many of the cars end up being compacts. I don't mind a truck, but I have to start worrying about gas mileage if it gets too big. Presently, I'm holding at about 25-27 MPG highway.
Any suggestions?
Any Panther or B-body

Just lease something retard
>>16247376
Lease?.. you mean get fucked over for a shit ton of money because I blew their bullshit 40000 mile over 3 years limit on the first fucking year and a half? You fucking stupid or something?
Go do some research... I drive nearly 75000 miles inside of three years. Subtract the usual 40000 miles included on the lease and I'm left paying the bill on the remaining 35000 miles at an average of $0.15 per mile, that's an additional $5250... might as well have it fucking break down every trip at that price.
Hey /o/
I am not a big car guy, but I will probably be buying a pickup truck within the next few months.
I was looking at used f150s in my area, and it would seem the low mileage ones (10k-15k) are nearly the same price as new trucks from a dealership.
Why is this? Is the f150 known to hold value?
What is the general take on the f150, my father has a frontier but it sucks big time. I'd be getting a base model f150 with the smallest engine and cab.
Thanks /o/
The current gen hold their value extremely well.
I think their ugly as fug, but their selling extremely well.
Do they still make them in stick?
> Is the f150 known to hold value?
lol no. It's more of a throw away truck, Same with Dodges. Ford sells so many F150's because most people buy a new one every 4 years, flooding the used market.
Anyone happen to know the name of these wheels, or brands that may make them?
Look like some shitty cragars
I think Scott is a good name for them. Maybe kevin?

>>16246604
Price? But really ya you should as long as you can wrench a bit. That's a sweet fucking comfy ride.
>>16246604
If it's a manual.
>>16246611

Can anyone ID what car this may be?

>>16246338
How many miles tho?
I bought an 86' turbo with a fubar'd motor when I was a dumb faggot kid who wanted to be a special snowflake and get something other than a run of the mill V6 ameri-fat car or a Miata. I could fix it in my spare time, but then life happened and it's pretty clear that it's not gonna happen anytime soon, at least not by me.
What is /o/'s official opinion on this car. Is it worth it, or should I sell it and not be such a piece of shit hipster.
BTW, got it for $1800.
Pic related, mine looks like that but with slightly faded guards red paint.
