>Driving Large Vehicles For Fun And Profit, Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying About Personal Hygene:

Find a community college or specialist 'school' that can get you a CDL, either finance it or pay out of pocket, then get on board at a company that offers tuition reimbursement.

Stick out your two years in the meat grinder to pay your dues, then decide once you're debt free whether or not you want to stick around.

There are also companies that will train you in exchange for you signing a (typically) 2-year contract, and while these are generally regarded as a total shitfest, it's not the worst thing in the world if that is your only option.

That said, aim for a recognizable company - Swift, Prime, and Schneider all get a lot of flak for being 'puppy mill' companies, but the true shitters are companies like CR England, CRST, and a handful of others that aren't coming to mind.

Nine times out of ten, a smaller, locally-owned-and-operated 'Mom and Pop' company will be your best bet.

What a faggot you are. You're making payments on all that shit, with interest. Better yet, your daddy probably cosigned on everything or even paid for all/most of your toys.

Everybody in this general knows that and spamming pics of your "possessions" and that ugly trailer park slag isn't going to change perceptions, ever.

It's a tough call but for a porsche you probably don't want an auto tranny. The cayman is the more desirable car between the two but the fact that it's 10k more and automatic makes me lean towards the boxster. Honestly though I say look harder for a manual boxster s

No its using its name for evil

>>17776373
I dunno man.
They seem like cool little cars but the front wheel drive and the hybrid part ruins it for me at least.

If you really like it I guess you should buy it, you know, because honda reliability and good mileage.

nope

>>17776258
french cars arent very reliable
but neither are the rest of the cars you listed.
megane rs is just as good as any of them desu.

>>17776258
It's easily one of the best handling fwd cars ever made. Take it on track if possible, it's super fun at the limit.

>>17776299
Doesn't bother me if it fucks up i get a loan car and throw the dealer the keys

>>17776195
Same way Americucks and Youropoors got Btfo by Japs (and by a considerable margin desu)

>>17776364
euro cars are still better quality then japanese.

koreans beat japs on quality.

i recently hired a kia, and later had to exchange for a mitsubishi in the same class, the quality difference was huge, the mitsu felt like literal trash next to the comfy kia

A FUCKING PEPSI LOGO

I use Dynomax bullets on my 6.0 GTO. Cant speak for how it will sounds on your car but on mine it sounds great and they cost very little.

Did you try lubricating the ends of the hoses before slipping them over the nozzle? Use something that will gum up later like WD40

O'Reilly's

The shithead manager at autozone has guaranteed I'll never set foot in one of their stores ever again.

>>17775419
My area doesn't even have an o'reilly's, just autozone, napa, and advance.

NAPA and O'Reilly for me

O'Reilly, at least in my area, can get parts to me within the day if they're not in the store, while NAPA can have better prices, and I get a 5% discount because I'm a student.

none just more wear and tear
brakes just wear out on their own anyway

your rear brakes will have some wear on them.
your clutch probs took some unnecessary wear as well.
I doubt anything major or life endangering, just shortening the life span of stuff.

Tyres might have a slight flat spot.

manual cars

americans worst enemy

Do you anyone who knows stick?
Anyone at all?
