The year is 2036.
The world's oil wells ran dry in 2022, which has caused civilization to break down but not completely collapse. Other fuels such as wood gas, propane and electricity are used to help the world limp on.
Meanwhile, you live in an region where law and order has broken down and tribalism has reemerged. You have to worry about gangs of outlaws who are known to be violent and merciless towards people who refuse to give them what they want. You need transportation. What kind of vehicle do you have, and what is powering it?

Friendly reminder that if you refer to your car as 'she/her/old girl' etc in public, you more than likely look incredibly autistic to the person you are conversing with. ISHYGDDT.

I got a job at a bar in a ski resort this winter and am now going to be driving my tiny FWD 03 Kia Spectra through a snow zone for the next 5 months or so. I already know the basics from working around the mountain last year(long following distances, carry chains, brake straight, slower but steady) and Im going to be carpooling with others with more suitable vehicles for the most part but I just wanted to see if I can get some specific tips for the times I do drive up.
Is there any other equipment I should carry besides chains, ice scraper, spare tire and shovel?
Does anyone have a recommendation for a cheap but good collapsible snow shovel?
Is there any preventative maintenance I should do on my car that will make it last better through the winter?
The cost of a set of new winter tires is a 1/3rd of my cars value, are they truely worth it or is my set of All Season tires and some chains fine for the most part? Can I just buy winter tires for my front tires and leave my back tires alone?
Are cables worth getting over chains?
Any other general tips y'all have would be helpful, thanks in advance.

Yes winter tires are worth it even on a shitty car, especially if you have to drive ski resort roads which can get nasty.
You can use winters on the fronts only, it's not ideal bit will work if you take it easy on the turns.
>>
>>16117270
Snow tires are a must if you're going to be doing any real driving on snow. You should get all 4 done or not bother.
A bucket of road salt helps sometimes. Doesn't have to be huge, a kitty litter pale is normally more then enough for most.
Go easy on the throttle, a lot of people just mash the throttle when they take off like its a drag race and spin their tires. Spinning tires will more then likely just polish the snow into some seriously slippery ice. If you start to spin, get out and throw some of the salt in front/behind your tires and take it easy on the throttle.
Other then that, driving in winter is 40% watching what the weather is doing around you, and 60% watching what the road looks like and preparing BEFORE you get to it.
>>
when it comes to traction
>awd>fwd>rwd
so you are better off if than if your car was rwd.
as for WINTER tires
(snow tires is a bad term for them)
get all 4 biggest reason being you get a balanced traction on your car. imagine getting all suited up to go hiking in the snow and you decide to use your tennis shoes instead of proper snow boots.
other than that driving safe and the necessary equipment and you should do fine

and Alfa Romeo/Fiat/Lancia?
Do their share development teams?
After Ferrari's "separation" is there little to no exchange of engineering knowledge?
I know the Alfa Guilia chief engineer was Philippe Krief, but I can't find anything on his background. And Roberto Fedeli supervises the brand.

None anymore other than Ferrari building the V6s. If you want an semi affordable sedan that Ferrari was heavily involved in look into a DuoSelect era Quattroporte. Of course you don't actually want that, but if you did that's the car to get.

Thats like 1/4 of the drivers around here.

1992 Lexus SC400 - 200K Miles.
Got the ecu and just need to do the fuel pump and get the car's fluids flushed and it should be good to go.
Wat can I do to make it less shit, restore HP and possible get a supercharger or something on it. It makes 250hp factory. The interior has rips and its pretty shitty but that's not my main concern.
Mind you a mechanic friend of mine gave this to me because a customer just abandoned it and told me he doesn't have time to work on it.
Heard people can get shit tons of HP out of this old Jap V8.

People do get a lot of power out of the 1uz. It's an amazingly robust engine with a lot of amazing technology for it's time which is why they often last for so many miles. But there are 2 issues you are going to run in to, which are money and the availability of parts. Unless you're in Australia, in which case ignore this next statement, aftermarket parts for the 1uz are very hard to find. Not impossible, normal stuff like cams, headers, etc. Can be bought, but if you want to get in to making real power, intake manifolds for forced induction purposes are going to be fucking expensive, or low quality. I would recommend you build the car around the v8 before you try to make power out of what is essentially a hole you can throw all your money in to and only run 12s.
>>
>>16117060
for what its worth, with the Aus dollar as low as it is, purchasing parts from Australia might not be a horrible idea. Shipping will be the killer though but it shouldn't be too bad all things considered

I found a 2011 Kia Optima for only $1000 on Craigslist. Catch is it needs a new engine and is a salvage title but I've never seen a car this new being sold for so cheap there. Is it worth buying? The body and paint is still pretty much like new.
