Does anyone sing their guts out only in the car?
>>16101152
Nah.
>>16101152
FUCK YEAH I DO WHEN IM NOT AROUND PEOPLE ON THE HIGHWAY
>tfw singing along very badly to katy perrys "fireworks"
>dont realize my windows are dowm
>stop at a stop sign next to a bus stop for high schoolers
>theyre all staring at me
>after a few seconds i stop singing and realize the windows are down
>immediately put my foot down on the pedal and attempt to speed off
>pulled off too fast
>hit a light pole
>panicking
>kids can still see me
>act cool, resume singing Firework
>drive off, car is noticeably damaged
>get home
>mom is mad because i took her car without asking
at least she hasnt noticed the damage yet.
what are the benefits of manual transmission? I've only ever driven manual and the only thing I can think of is engagement in driving. the shifting times on auto are super human and the fatest person cant shift faster than the slower auto
/o/ will make fun of you if you dont drive manual
fuel economy; easy to buy, when they break it's cheap
The transmissions are generally more reliable and require less maintenance.
In burgerland it makes you cool (unless you hang out with nerds or are a loser yourself)
You have a decent job, making upwards of $50kUSD/year. No wife, no kids, and a company car that you DD so you have the freedom to pick whatever you want to mod, do work on, take to the track or whatever floats your boat.. What's the best pick?
tl;dr What is the everyman's dream (affordable) car?
>>16096703
this is pretty much me now but with dual incomes
i have a big turbo (read 62mm) evo x
and next i wanna get a cl63 biturbo
then a 90s viper
R34 GTR, see a lot of GT-Ts here in Aus but when you see a GTR your dick turns to diamonds
If it's only $50k then there's not much room to work with. I guess I'd have to save up for a year or two and just get whatever looked good off cl in the 5-10 range.

too spooky 4 u faggit?
So I recently heard news that GM will bring back the Avalanche will be coming back, and at about the same time I saw a commercial for the new Ridgeline. So /O, which is better the Avalanche or the Ridgeline?
>>16100744
they're both shit. either you need a truck or you dont and should just get a minivan.
>>16100762
Why not have the room to fit your children when you need to and also have room to fit several pieces of lumber?
>>16100770
which you can do in a normal truck or minivan perfectly fine.
>2016
>poorfags on /o/ still recommend buying old deathtraps
I know it's hard for some of you poorfags to believe, but some of us wouldn't want to literally be caught dead in an old car.

>>16102177
dont crash. at least if has big windows, a low beltline, isn't angry, and doesn't care about pedestrian safety. it's the perfect car.
>>16102177
Why didn't the guy in the red car just turn the wheel a little to the right?
Problem avoided.
If you want safety why are you driving at all?
>yfw there are people on this board who think carburators are better than electronic fuel injection

Having done both, never doing carbs ever again.
It sounds good at first but it's not worth it.

Mix up some milk and cat food. Pour the mixture into the cabin intakes at the base of the windshield.
It's a riot.
ITT: "Car culture" people who piss you off
>supra fanboys
Its fine to like it but some people are disgustingly addicted to everything "mk4 supra" without knowing that the ma70 (clearly superior) even exists or that the jza80 is the chassis code
People that say the r35 is their favourite car
>you have to know the chasis code to like a car
Holier than thou car people piss me off.
Ax0 is the chasis code. M/G/JZ are country codes.

Yes please
Source?
A new 3.0l i-6 is coming to the new Mercedes S-Class.
No belt/pully system. Just a 15kW motor attached to the crank which charges a 48v system which an electric condenser, water pump, and other systems use instead of being directly driven by the engine.
Also has a hybrid electric turbocharger that will spin up off idle in 0.3s so there's virtually no turbo lag.
The electric motor will fill in some power at certain throttle load levels to keep the engine at more efficient load for better economy, or add 20hp when you floor it.
>tfw exactly this is exactly system I wish Mazda would use on the next RX
Sounds good.
That's awesome I knew the i6 would stick around
>Sounds like there are a lot of new parts that can and will break
I need this
Despite being around for such a short time why are there so many of these on the used car market? are owners genuinely unsatisfied with their car that they sell it at a huge loss? or were they mostly bought by teenage shitters that couldn't afford it to begin with and so they have to sell it?
>>16093814
Latter option is huge, idiot I work with (retail) has one and can barely make payments.
>>16093814
Because it looks fast and probably bought it thinking they could win traffic light races.

>I am an autistic neet but ive got it allllll figured out. Check out these unfounded claims XDD
Not everyone is a poorfag who has to keep a car for 10+ years that's why
