Well /o/, I've fucked up entirely. I think I fucked up my life and my parents are ready to boot me out of the house, this is all because of /o/'s favorite meme car, the AE86.

My parents gave me spending money for graduating college with a score higher than a 3.5 GPA. I truly thought hard on what to spend the cash on and I was browsing craigslist's for weeks, then my parents suggested a nice sporty car that wouldn't break down on me. Lo and behold, I thought an AE86 would be a perfect car, especially after browsing /o/ throughout my college life.

So I began the hunt and went through countless rust boxes, "I know what I've got", "No low ballers" and "I know what've got!". After growing tired of searching I found the perfect "cheap one", it looked like a steal. I went to pay the owner a visit, it was some old lady whose husband had passed away and had the car sitting for quite a while, she didn't specify how long but it didn't matter to me being the dumbass I was, I didn't even ask what engine it was, where the rust spots were or any specific important questions about it. I bought the car straight away with pure emotion, I spent $7,500 fucking dollars.

>Mfw I found out the car had the weaker 4AC engine and an actual 4AGE and this was AFTER I purchased it.

>Mfw the head gasket is going to blow at any second

>Mfw there is rust in the unibody and a repairman quoted me $5000

>Mfw car looks like pic related

Your parents should be mad at you because you're a fucking idiot and they're disappointed in themselves for raising a fucking idiot if this isn't a troll.

even for ameripoors, 7500 really shouldn't be that much. I earn more than that a month working glorified part time in europe.

I'm looking to buy a panoramic mirror, does anyone have experience with these or advice for me?

>>16050057
Why?

You can forget about driving at night btw
>>
>>16050067
well for better visibility, my stock mirror is quite small and i have nice large windows so i feel i could utilize a larger rear-view mirror, also my dad thinks it will help me be safer :) Why do you say its bad for night time?
>>
>>16050076
People who drive behind you will blind you as this panoramic mirror doesn't have that angle adjustment thing that makes the mirror dark at night.
I'm not even going to talk about the size of this thing.
Your best bet would be buying a bigger mirror that goes over your old one

So I recently found out that modern lancers (including non-evos) have an option to switch off awd for 2wd. Can anyone confirm if this makes the car accelerate faster? It should on paper!

Put a 50/50 mix of ATF and Acetone in a spray bottle and use that for your penetrating fluid. You'll never buy PB Blaster or even Kroil ever again. That mixture is nothing short of amazing.

My son used that mixture and took the entire front axle out from under his 94 F150 4x4 using nothing but hand tools.

What's your opinion on dacia as a car producer? Is it any good? Do people in the states even know it? I am thinking of buying one as my first real car(my current one is a "hand me down" from my mom). I like the dacia duster and from what I read on the Internet it's not really bad for the price.

Cheaper renaults made in Romania. Simple cars with not much going for them beside the low price and extensive guaranty (5 years). Is the kind of car that you buy new, use it for 5 years and after that you sell it to buy a new one.

Tried to put an mx5 (miata) specific roll bar in just to find that the rear legs that you drill into the boot compartment is too long and hits the firewall, gonna have to cut an entire bolt hole off either side just to have it fit, not to mention I bought it second hand and a few bits of hardware isn't there

Anyone else finding new car designs uglier than older ones? I feel like the old models that were blockier and sharper were far more aesthetically pleasing and elegand rather than newer concepts. Pic related to prove my point.

NISSAN SCUM!!!

Nissan pretending to be luxury.

Good cars if you can afford them new. Nissan blended style and performance well in the 90s and that is pretty much all you could ask for from a luxury brand.

Paddle shifting twin turbos isn't my idea of fun but it could be worse - you could be a nigger in an Acura Accord.
