Trucks don't count because they have actual practical uses. We're talking about your shitty 'Merican Muscle car, JDM rice, and Eurotrash.

Very excited for 2017 racing season. Full factory rebuild with cams, exhaust, injectors, a tune, bigger inter cooler, thick sway bars, strut mounts and some awesome tires as well! Let's see what you guys are hiding for the winter and planning for next car season!

It's that time of year again folks - Break out the sandpaper, break out the touch-up paint pens - gotta knock out those paint chips before the winter rots them out.

But really, why don't more people do this? Yeah, it usually looks shit, but I'll take shit paint every single day over rust and bubbling paint in spring.

Especially on structural bits like quarterpanels and shit. And if it's a rocker panel, I just grind it down and put bedliner on it and pray for the best.

me: *looks at a girl and smiles*

girl: hey why are u smilin :)

me: well I saw a R129 SL500 right outside this building and it had the smaller license plate spot that North American spec cars have but I looked at the dials and they were in kilometers per hour, which leads me to think that it's a Japanese import because they have roughly the same license plate dimension as in the states/canada

girl: but

me: I know what you're thinking, don't the Japanese drive right hand drive cars? Well you see, expensive cars such as this R129 are usually imported in left hand drive in Japan because driving on the left side is a status symbol, much like having a YANASE sticker on your European car, those stickers can cost up to 100€! so I think that's cool that someone imported a car from japan, and it's also cool that it's a european car!! it came back home to europe haha

I posted 2 days ago about my Sunfire that I CRASHED.
People asked for pictures.

Is it just the lower control arm(bent in pic) that I need to replace or it something else fucked up on it?

I can steer the wheel fine, the position is just moved now and it's scraping against the wheel well.

I got some cheap mechanic that uses used car parts and he's going to take a look at it in 2 days.

more pics incoming

I want an apprenticeship to be a motorcycle mechanic but I have fuck all to put on my CV. I'm only a few months out of highschool. Already tried to volenteer but they asked me what I could offer and i said the truth ("idk").

I'm 18. live in UK. My college is willing to ask garages if they are taking on an apprenticeship and give them my CV. But my CV is barebones. It has my mediocre grades and the fact I was a prefect (hall monitor). But 50% of my class was prefects.

I have no fucking idea how to sell myself. Interviewing is a whole separate ball game. I don't even have a motorcycle (planning to get one). I have no references and can't into nepotism. My stepdad's an engineer but my grades are too shit and it's too late to become an engineer. I like working on motorcycles.

I know how hard it is for businesses to filter out the retards and that's why they have this bullshit happy crap you have to push. I just want to make money holy fuck. I'm making 0 right now. People on welfare make more than me.
