I'm looking to buy my second car, my current one is a SAAB my mom bought me for $1000 when I got my license.
I'm looking for a relatively cheap RWD car that is easy to tune, I'm no car expert but my father used to work a lot on cars especially from the 80's and early 90's. Don't know if pic related, happy for any advice.

Cars are alot different now dude
Some cars are built differently you ever tried to argue with someone in there 40s and 50s about how to fix a car that was made in the last 15 years? It's fucking infuriating boomers are fucking retarded. Your best off learning the now and not the then.

>getting a free car
I paid her back when I got my first job, but I didn't pick the car myself.
>translated to my dad only worked on American cars
I'm not American but he's owned fords
I spy with my little eye...
You spotted nothing of value.
I live near Honda's East Liberty plant and the Transportation Research Center.
We see camo cars all the time between Dublin and Marysville. They had an NSX mule on the road last winter, and a few protos running errands at Home Depot etc. TLXs, RDXs, CRVs etc.
It's too bad that Hondas are so bland in design. They could leave the camo off and you'd probably never notice the difference.
>>16109333
They making a Fiesta/Golf rival?
I found a cheap car on Craigslist that's damaged like this. Aside from the CV axle, what other parts will need to be replaced?
Who knows. All kinds of shit could be broken. Is broken.
>>16109315
Sure OP, let me just diagnose this car that I've never seen before for ya.
It's a chevy dude.. how could anything ever break on it? Didn't you see how many awards they won during the MLB commercials?
First Audi Sport's LeMans team
Now VW's WRC team
Who is next? Porsche?

Yo
buying a car 6000 euro max in mobile.de
got a cousin in germany who can get it for me
what should I be looking for?
It can be both transmissions, must be pretty economic in terms of money spent on fuel and just decent averall.
I live in Albania so I dont have to pay much money on insurances and shit (thats why there are so many mercedes benz here).
Any tips would be appreciated or if youre bored you can search for me too.
T-thanks.

Thats a cute scorpion.
Anyway, there are vehicles with BOTH transmissions? Thats fucking badass, sauce? How do you switch between transmissions? How are they even positioned?
Can you feel the (cool vibrations) of the engine violently shaking the car while idling?
Can you feel your back break from the super tight suspension as it hits potholes?
Do your tiny, boyracer arms struggle to compensate as the steering wheel rips from your hands from the amount of sheer torque?
Do you feel the fear from other hot hatches, as they cower from the insane madman smile grille?
Do you even feel THE POWER as you drive past ST's, GTI's, and cuckloster Turbos?
Pave the way for the true hot hatch. The hell hatch, the MUSCLE HATCH.

[spoiler]Renting thread[/spoiler]
My gf has a business and turns out there are huge finantial benefits in renting a car. Not in the US, not here to discuss if it is or it is not a good idea, I already know. What I want is the best car renting with payments under 500€ a month.
She wants a good car, thinks that her current micra cc is shit (no wonder).
Wants something bigger and nice (design, upper-class feeling, this sort of shit), but not a sedan. So it is hatchbacks, B and C class, five door (sorry). I would like the car to move around decently.
Ideas?
tl;dr: Best renting options around 500€/month. B and C class cars, five door, not indecently slow.
>>16108905
She has always liked MINIs, but the interior of the new one doesn't have the big speedometer in the middle no longer, so she said she does not want it anymore. Plus it is too small, as fiat 500, the other car she liked. You can see the trend.
I'll try to convince her that a 1 series is best option. I am doing it just for being only rwd option. Is it noticeable?
Pic related best steering wheel I've seen in a modern normal car.
>inb4 a fucking 114d
>>16108905
How much do they drive? What about leasing? And how bad does insurance rape you on the rentals like that?
What about the Fiat 500L or the larger Minis? Is the Honda Fit trendy enough? The Fit is a really good car in that segment.

They are quite common in new zealand
There's only 250 ever sold here, LHD. Finding one is...
Finding a stock one is like the holy grail. An unraped stock one is the grail filled with virginal women-juices.
They are, for that rarity, pretty damn cheap still.
But that's here, don't know about UK or so.
It still is the best Evo ever made.

What does /o/ think about Smart cars?
Not that great of fuel mileage, surprisingly heavy fur their size, can't put anything inside them
Literally a geo metro holds more and gets better fuel mileage and costs 700 dollars

This one, yes. Can't bring myself to care about the other, generic tuner stuff of theirs.

You're a serious degenerate even by 4chan standards if you enjoy starting fights in real life over your piece of shit truck and right to billow black smoke into people's open windows.
While you're at it you can check the exhaust pipe at throttle until you drop dead.
