This is honestly a major problem with automatic headlights. When its daylight but a downpour you forget to turn on your lights and are completely invisible.

Are you comfortable replacing fuel lines?

If no, suck it up.

I've billed 8 hours of labor (and $200 worth of fluids) on a $9 seal (rail car mover). But it needed doing, and my time and expertise is worth something.

The same is true for car mechanics.

Do it yourself if you don't want to pay for labor. Just remember, your time is worth something too.

No no, but if all that was needed replacing was the fuel filter, why get new the lines. When the filter leaked , I did not complain ( shit happens ) It was an afterthought, that all I needed was a new Fuel filter, and not new fuel lines +3hrs of labor? And I go to them because I want to support the local Biz in my City.

>>16036569
You replace the fuel filter if you're going to fix the lines because putting on a dirty filter is a turbo poorfag move. Sorry the part was bad, but a mechanic can't do anything about that except stock 2 of them, and they probably don't sell enough because most gas powered car drivers never change their fuel filter, they just wonder why their response goes to hell as the car ages.

You didn't just need a fuel filter, the lines were the problem.

a shit one

ferd or vw i have no idea

oh shit its a vw, coolant resevoir gives it away

If it's so cheap then where's yours?

It's slow stock, but there's a bolt on supercharger kit.

It's basically a US Atom for 1/3th the price

Maybe a few years ago before everyone memed it to death.

Its a sports-car? i thought it was just a roadster/convertible..

I remember watching a 24 hours of Lemons race on youtube and there was a FWD Buick sedan just handing either a Miata or a rusted MR2 its ass. didn't think though things could turn at all..

>old
>lots were made
>weren't expensive in the first place
also they aren't really "sports" cars, it's just that they're lightweight and have 50/50 distribution so they're easy to take around corners making them sporty

What's so special about gas station branded oil?

>bmw
Yeah, it's normal

What year and how many miles?

Early S54s (2001-2003) had too close rod bearing tolerances and could spin them. S54s in general just like eating rod bearings if they get beat/abused (especially as track cars, but nowhere as bad as E90/92s)

shiggy diggy.

gto is fine. you could get a g8 gt (no manual) if you want/need 4 doors.

>g8 gt (no manual)
They exist. Just not for under 20k.

my dad used this as a dd back in the day

he also drove it on the track and liked it for the most part except he complained about the weight

personally i like it but of course i am a bit biased

you didn't "bump" my car
you ran into it, then panicked and confused the brake with the gas
that's why my hood looks like balled up tinfoil and the car is 3 feet backwards from where I left it
now I have to drive 100 miles home with the radiator fan playing the harp with the radiator you pushed in, hoping nothing blows up
you know damn well I want your contact info

Get a used mercedes s class.
2013 well optioned goes for around 40-60k used. Uber luxury.

If you fell for the AWD in snow meme, you can get their 4matic version.

Audi S4 would be fucking awesome in the snow and everywhere. That porsche cayenne is also a reliable vehicle and is just a more "luxury" version of the touareg (which is significantly cheaper but also good). Merc S class is also good but they're hefty buggers and waste a lot of gas. Don't get a truck if you want to shuttle people around

>>16035600
I don't understand the reference, but their 4matic version is what I'll check out.
>>16035626
Was never a huge fan of Audi, but I think the S4 is a bit small for what I'm thinking. Maybe the A6 or A7. The Cayenne has always been a favorite of mine, visually anyway.

A miata
