>Driving on highway at night

>Right as said retard passes us the cop flies out after him
>See the SUV pulled over half a mile up the road

I seriously have to ask, at what point did this seem like a good idea?

Lets just hypothetically you woke up one day to someone knocking on your door. You go to the door and Jay Leno is standing their in his Denim suit with a S70/2 and transmission. He tells you that it is yours now but you cannot sell or trade it and you must use it yourself. What car / contraption would you put it into?

Ok 4chan, I need some feedback. What say you?

I'm down to two choices, an 02 Grand Cherokee Limited or an 05 Nissan Xterra. Mileage is around 130K for both.

The Jeep GC has a live axle in front which is better for off roading purposes, easier to lift, etc. It's cheaper (around 3.5K), but it's in worse condition and like all Cherokees it's unibody. Its already has a 2 inch lift on it, but will need paint tires and rims. It could also use seat covers and some interior work. The 4x4 system appears to be in good condition (its a Quadra Trac II). 4.7 V8 engine. Pic related.

The Nissan is in better shape inside and out, but more expensive (around 5.5K). It's body-on-frame, but the independent front suspension is both harder to lift and not as tough as a live axle. Paint is good, interior is ok. The plastic bumpers could use painting, but not bad. Push button 4x4 (bleh), V6 engine.

I do not have history on either one, both are at local mom-n-pop car lots.

I don't usually come here, but I need your help.

My son is looking forward to his first car, and is suggesting a lot of different things.
He likes the look of classic cars, but I'm worried about safety (even though he is a safe driver) and cost.
Although he doesn't watch initial d, he also likes a lot of 80s and 90s japanese cars. He suggested a 1985 Nissan 300ZX Hatchback.

Money isn't too much of a problem (I make six figures), but I would like it to be less than $10,000.

A few main factors: safety, less than $10,000, automatic transmission, doesn't make my son look like a cringey faggot.

This thread might sound dumb but I mean this in the most honest way possible.

Will modern cars look dated within the next 10 years?

I know technology is always advancing and shit. But I mean can it get any better than how it is today without completely changing the design of cars?

In 10 years, will Porsches look like the shitty 2004 Porsches we think of today? Will Mercedes look like the shitty 2006 Mercedes we think of today? Pretty much almost all luxury car brands look like complete shit 10 years ago, but I honestly think in 10 years the 2016 cars will still look so good. Am I wrong, I'm sure they thought that in 2006 too?

So angel and a demon walk up to you both making offers for your salvation/damnation.

Either way you can choose any car made between 1985-now, as long as it had more than 500 made. You cannot give away the car either, as it always finds it's way back to you. You can sell it, but see below.

The angel's offer
>unlimited mpgs
>car never needs maintenance
>car physically cannot be involved in a wreck
>car can only go as fast as your skill allows
>you have to regularly pray, go to church and commit good deeds
>if you sell the car you go blind and lose all feeling in your crotch

The demon's offer
>the car has no top speed, the harder you push it the faster it can go
>can handle any turn or drift as long as you can assert your willpower
>will occasionally try to kill you
>can use the souls of those you have defeated instead of fuel
>you will become addicted to driving it, favoring that experience beyond all others
>if you sell the car you instantly die

Which offer do you choose? Which car do you choose?

Okay so I just got orders for CA


I am a Florida resident and still have 2 years left on my tags. I drive a 2009 Mustang GT with cams, longtubes and a cai. Is there any way to be able to drive this in CA without getting fucked? Will I get tickets? Do I have to register my car with CA or can I just leave it with FL registration and keep my mods? I have cats but they are aftermarket high flow cats.
