I really need your help, collective mind of /o/
This woman is selling her ex's 2009 Fireblade, 700 miles, only $1200. She states no mechanical issues and no crashes, as well as full service history available.
But its very far from where I live and she will ship it to me through Amazon, and I would pay through Amazon. Free shipping for me, but I would have to pay return shipping if I'm dissatisfied. Scam or jackpot?
Pic related is one she sent me

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. Car looks like pic related.
>mfw police pulled me over due to the boot flying open from a rusty hatch
>mfw my uncle said the head gaskets are going to blow at any second
>mfw my life is over.

Is there an engine that causes more asshurt than the LS? It's a pushrod V8 that's about as big as a OHC straight 4 and an it weighs less than 400lbs/181kg (the ls1 weighs 390lbs/177kg).

Rotaries. Every bus rider that's subscribed to Jalopshit has to say his piece about how bad they are because some cuck journo thinks so.
The LS is just the LS. It's primitive, has plenty of aftermarket support and gets the job done. Some swaps are great, others not so.

No it won't, because we got the Integra Type R in the states.
R34 GT-Rs are the only 90's Japanese sports cars touching 100K, and NSX-Rs will more than likely hit it too, if they aren't already.

why aren't more sports cars made of fiberglass? it's cheap and lightweight. having that with an aluminum monocoque seems to make the most sense but most cars are made of aluminum with a steel chassis still.

See

Now lookup fiberglass, you can't recycle it only downcycle it.

I've been having a surging/rough idle problem on my '01 corolla. It will only start having issues after driving 5 miles or so when the engine is all warmed up. Surges when accelerating and the idle will bounce around from 500-1100 rpm. Sometimes it gets real rough and I have to restart the car for it to calm down.
I've replaced:
>Cat
>Spark plugs
>fuel pump
>Fuel filter
And I've cleaned:
>MAF
>Throttle body/idle control valve
>Air filter
Next would be injectors. Is there anything else I should look at? It's a 1zz-fe btw.

I wouldn't mess with the MAF if I were you, shits delicate and expensive. Try a new O2 sensor. My Volvo has a fidgety one, on cold days when I'm starting up it cant decide whether more or less oxygen is needed, the tach bounces and engine sounds haggard for a bit. Throttle body and idle control were good places to start.

It's not spitting codes, and I just had one replaced

Replace the IAC if cleaning didn't work.

Boxster, as it's an actual purpose-built sports car and not a Golf with all practicality removed and the roof chopped off.

My VW Golf Mk.6 won't start. I'm in the middle of nowhere in Europe... Help
As I turn the key, it's buzzing, I guess, and it won't start. The board is blinking and I'm guessing that the battery is dead, due to the cold (perhaps)
It's 4 am, and I'd like your help
Nudes if I can start the car and get outta here

As for current MB, I just find their interiors unbelievably tacky and overall disgusting. They reek of "HEY GUYS THIS LOOKS EXPENSIVE PLS BUY IT" instead of actually designing something I'd want to sit in.
