I really want one of these babies as my first car... I am willing to pay for any upkeep but is it really worth it in canadian weather? If not, similar ones to suggest?
You have absolutely no idea how much money those cars are worth, do you?

>drive a manual
>downshift every time you come into a red light
How do you idiots even drive in traffic if you're too busy playing with your stick and looking at your RPMs to pay attention to the road?
>>15943542
>looking at your RPMs
no one with any appreciable amount of experience driving stick needs to visually monitor their engine speed kiddo
>>15943542
>looking at RPMs
>not just matching by audio and tactile feel

>downshift every time you come into a red light
What kind of retard does that?
So, I bought a 2000 Honda Insight. Manual transmission with A/C.
How can I hyper-mile it? Thoughts so far include:
>Aluminum flat-bottom panel
>Lightweight wheels
>Upgraded battery pack
>Overall weight reduction
>Smaller side mirrors
>Lowered suspension
Get fender mirrors
buy a bicycle and fuck off to >>>/n/

LS swap it.
here is a thread for c/o/mmuters who drive a considerable distance to get to their job/school. How do you manage? What tunes/ car mods do u have to optimize it? What driving strategies do you recommend?

Consider suicide
I used to have a decent commute, 30 minute drive of just straight interstate. Put the top down and put on some jcore/vocaloid/jpop/whatever I was in the mood for as loud as my 5 piece 800w system would go.
In December, I put on a Santa outfit, people love that shit, seeing Santa pass them in a little convertible. I had fun everyday

Get c10 senpai
Thoughts? Would it make a fun daily? It is in the sticky but I never hear much about it.
Because the sticky was made years ago before shitposting and spewing memes became the norm on the Internet
They're great if you get it in manual.
I still can't believe they are only FWD though. What was Toyota thinking.
Well it sure beats those expensive MONEY PIT German cars!
What are some good mods to get? Oh yeah and what mods for my car too?

Gentlemen,
I present to you: Infiniti VCT, aka: the new meme engine.
Variable everything, injected both ways, per cylinder ignition timing and turbocharged.
>>15942858
That looks reliable. Congratulations Renault/Nissan, you've out-Germaned the Germans.
>>15942858
>less compression
>more power
wat.. is there a turbo in the picture somewhere?
>>15942858
We have discussed how retarded this is many times.
Other car companies have been able to change compression for years and use it in a lot of popular cars. They mess with the timing on the valves and create a modified Atkinson cycle engine with much lower compression when they don't need power. Efficient and nowhere near as many things to break.
...good?
>>15942697
The brand does not matter as much as you think. Just get fully synthetic and you will be good.
>>15942780
Official oil
It's the cat's meow.
I use this for my shitbox because tons of miles driven.
What can /o/ tell me about the Volvo c30?
Saw one in traffic today and thought it looked cool.
Would they make a decent commuter car?
Im in California
Looks nice, 5 cylinder sounds great, enough power to get out of its own way, comfy.
However, it's not as fast as you might expect a compact turbocharged 5 cylinder hatchback to be, the turning circle is huge, and it's not the most practical or roomy hatch.
>>15942664
Cool car, you could do worse
>>15942690
Im used to driving cars with under 200hp so itll probably be enough for me.
I did like the 4 seats it had, could make more room by removing one or both.
What's the ultimate secondary car or winter beater. Something that's super cheap on fuel (~50 mpg range) , Toyota Hilux levels of reliability and super cheap to fix with lots of parts available. These are the only things that matter it, so can be as slow and ugly as you want. So anon what is it?
A turdcel obviously, or geo metro

Is there an off-Roader thread?
Post you off roader here!
I'll start it off with mine:
>>15942502
There was a thread not too long ago. Nice 4runner! Does yours have really soft, comfy suspension like the newer ones? I bet that'd be nice off road
Oh and what does /o/ think of tinted taillights? I did mine just because, vinyl was only $6 on amazon.
Fellow 3rd gen guy here. Absolutely love the truck, it's been perfect for me these past 3 years. Long highway trips aren't its forte per se (crosswinds can suck my ass) but nonetheless I've driven it all over.
Really sorry if there is already one. I keep checking and find says there might be one but I don't see it. I've tripled checked anyway. Shout out to Vin bros and a thousand thank yous.
Obvious self bump with VIN. Vin bros, if you out there. US car, US vin.

How are you anons getting ready for Matthew? Got a full tank of gas in that shitbox?
>filled my car up yesterday just in case
>run to Walgreens to stock up on Newports for the storm
>see gas station with line of cars going out onto the street
>what retards, muh tank on full
>get back home, double check gas cans I haven't messed with much
>forgot I used it for mowers and blowers awhile back, turns out I'm only at 5 or 6 gal instead of 12
>grab scoot, fly past lines of cars at gas stations, go straight between a pump and a car
>fill up muh gas can, top off the scoot, save an hour of waiting
Lots of gas stations are out already too. Now I'm just worried what will happen to my car parked outside. Got room to bring one in the garage, one staying outside.
I have no sympathy for your kind.
