Any PT cruiser owners around?

Pretty heavy like any Chrysler and their engine compartments are not only cramped but laid out in a completely unholy way to make their unusual aesthetics possible. Also they're generally shitty cars unless they're the GT package.

PT cruisers are pretty bad compared to most shitty American cars, which is saying something. Although that's still better than the average bong car

I want to maximize cornering speed on the backroads. We get quite a bit of rain, so I'd like to have the jack of all trades between dry and wet performance.

Why shouldn't I get the Michelin Pilot Super Sport?

PSS suck, they get chewed up on the shoulder before the tread life is over, they don't perform that well, too much of a jack of all trades master of none that isn't particularly good in one department for how expensive they are. The Conti Extreme Contact DWs are way better imo for a tire like that.

Alright, so I've finally gotten around to learning 5-speed by heart over the last year in a 140hp FWD grocery getter. I've loved rally racing all my life and I want to get into local rallycross. (Oregon, Washington) Aside from the obligatory Neon/Civic/Golf, what would you recommend? The entry level is for vehicles below 2.5L displacement and FWD.

I should have mentioned that my budget is about 1500 for the car and another thousand for basic work. Keep in mind that in RallyX there's rarely a chance to go faster than 60mph so don't get stupid.

So my '11 Fiesta SE is throwing a Crankshaft sensor code Anonymous 2016-10-31 23:44:00 Post No. 16094299 [Report] [View this topic]

Just went on a trip to the mountains, maybe 7,500 elevation. Didn't drive it hard at all, but used the downhill descend feature where it holds it at 3,500 RPM or more. Could this have killed it? It doesn't accelerate at all unless you shut it off, turn it back on, then it eventually bogs down.

Car's had two transmission rebuilts/ replacement, and a blown head gasket. And other issues.

What are the most well built econoboxes made in the last decade or so. Looking at a basic Civic or Impreza or Corolla.

Jesus fuck. Not a good advertisement for Focus at least not the SE version. Yes, if the transmission is that shit it's not hard for me to imagine it scrying up the crank shaft to engine brake down hill hundreds of miles.

They're deigned to be forgotten abot completely, until you need to change your tire. You'll spend hours looking for it. Whether its because you need ot, or because the tire tech asked you where its at.

It's called itasha, pal. Translates to 'painful car' in gooklang. I was at a Subaru meet in SW Houston last week, and there were a few itasha'd cars. There was a Miku Evo and some older Impreza that I lost the pictures of, but I still have footage of the Highschool DxD FR-S. Dakimakuras and everything, cool stuff.

Here's another. These are just scrots of a video I took of it, so the angles are bad, but I'm on mobile and the file is too big.

Convince me not to buy a 2012 Charger Pursuit car for 7-8k.

Police cars are well maintained but their mileage is never a good indication of wear on the engine considering they spend many hours, every day idling. Just something to keep in mind.

You'll be the bane of every speeding motorist out there. My pulse always rises just a tad when I see a blacked out Charger, the cops have effectively ruined that car for me.
