>Ae they a bigger meme than Ducati?

Explain what you think you mean by this.

>>15954782
Ducati is kind of that default "Ferrari" of bikes.

>>15954846

I see ducatis more like alfa romeo of bikes. Like sporty image, heritage, form over function and lifestyle bullshit like "character" or "soul".

Source: Own one. Love it.

This is not as bad as that one ad they had of those twin brothers who dreamt of racing each other. In automatic Camrys.

How's that ocd going?

Do not use the antifog shit

Before you clean the inside of the glass, clean the outside. Use the special lint free glass towels for the final wipe.

I've never used a razor, start with a good degreaser like Simple Clean, and chase with the claybar.

As far as rainx, I would use the washer fluid that already has the stuff inside, its just as good, and less work

If i'm off my meds it's crippling. It takes all my will power not to soak all my silverware in a bleach/water solution for 2 hours instead of tossing them into the dishwater. I have set my water heater to a low temp because when I wash my hands I feel like the water is never hot enough to clean them properly and I gave myself 3rd degree burns before. I've been on edge since the FDA is banning certain antibiotics in off the shelf hand soap, I've been stocking up in the meantime. I spent 8 hours yesterday cleaning the grout lines in my bathroom with a tooth brush. I get up in the middle of the night 5+ times to check to see the door is locked. I wash my bed sheets everyday. My life is a living hell to be honest.

>>15954163
Yeah, the anti fog stuff was a mistake I think. Might end up going back in with some ETOH and a Waffle weave MF to get it off.

Simple Green will leave glass streaky as fuck. It's why most glass cleaners have ammonia in it, ammonia cleans glass without streaking.

I also feel like the Rain X in the windshield washer fluid is sub par in performance compared to the buff on/buff off stand alone product. Also will leave a slight haze on your glass that you can really notice at night with oncoming headlights. And it can clog your washer fluid lines. This is not even my OCD talking, google it. Tons of people have these issues.

what condition is it in? if its a rusted scrap, then its worth pretty much nothing. if it can be built back up with a reasonable amount of work then yes, it could be worth something.

>>15953931
This.
But, a rusted hunk can still be sold to a ratrodder for a grand or two.

>>15953931
It's in a pretty good condition, nothing has been touched, not sure about the mileage but no it's not a rusted scrap its been properly stored, it's model U btw.

You're better off getting a geo metro for $1000 and praying to kek that nobody plows into you because lolairbags

What's the actual MPG when you do the math though?

My dad got an insight, I drove it and had the urge to drive it straight into a fucking wall. Only if it would even get enough acceleration only then maybe I could drive it into a fucking wall.

>>15953609
oh and question on clutch burning. how to avoid killing the clutch pad (and that awful greasy smell) when you're stuck in 4-L on a wet patch of dirt?
I try not to do a lot of 2nd gear starts and I normally am worrying about hitting trees more than keeping the revs under 3000 when starting back up.

>>15953609
nice going genius. Ground clearance is your first and last line of defense. You wont need armor if you can clear the obstacle instead of dragging your EVERYTHING over it.

>>15953609
Is that a woman or a man?

They're not good but they're a damn sight better than any American, German, or Italian shit

Enjoy dem speed limiters

But depending on the age of the car, lots of cars imported into North America had shitty and weak engines compared to the same models in Yurop and Japan.

It's a meme because the motor's exported in the 90s were usually detuned for emissions purposes so if you could get your hands on something 'jdm tyte' it would have a little more hp.

These days its just idiots slapping jdm on things when they don't even know what it means.

No, if I were you, I'd try to haggle him down to 14 or 15 thousand.

Why do you suck so bad?

>>15953486
It's a pretty shitty job, desu. I usually go through with repairs. This though...

>>15953486
Depending on the vehicle bearings could range from "simple and easy", to "Holy fuck what is this even...?"

>>15953061
Is it a 96-98 4.6 2v, or 99-04? They have different heads/cams. And a pretty big difference in power

Why would you buy a car that someone swapped out the 5.0 for a 4.6? Unless it's a 4v, otherwise it makes no sense.

Expect an uglier fatter fox with a 90's GM tier plastic interior

>>15953118
>>15953129

I'm not sure which it is, but I'm assuming it's the 4v because it only has 90k miles and like you said, the 2v wouldn't make any sense.

As to why I would buy it is because I'm getting it at half the price of the other stangs in my area, leaving budget for aftermarket.

One that dislikes having a hot interior.

>Why
CAFE regs and the fact that the big 3 would rather sell you a full-size truck for a lot more money
