Really makes u think

Does "outrun" entail just a straight road? Because I could easily lose that pigfat sedan on a twisty road with over 100hp less.

>meet me on the downhill fagit

Engineering is improving, but not enough to keep enthusiasts in the new car market due to draconian safety laws.

I would reccomend suicide.

>>15903487
Dunno but new jags are muh dick status. And thankfully plenty of manufacturers make all those electronic nannies (lol lanewatch) optional as part of some gay "safety package".
So new cars are at least safer, faster, and more efficient. Just dont buy A-B shitboxes

I don't understand why every person that has never driven manual transmission thinks it's some sort of high difficult ritual to operate an extra pedal of the transmission god's. Dude chill out. There's nothing difficult about it. Think of it as driving normally just in a smaller space.

>>15903462

I was afraid of this too when I first started to drive manual.

It's not a big deal unless you have to do an uphill start and the car behind you is literally less than a foot away from your bumper and you're really slow but you can fix that by using the parking brake technique

dont listen to them you WILL end up rolling backwards and fendering somebody

it will happen

>>15903337
Just say you have plenty of experience detailing friends and families cars, mention how you would apply with pads by hand and would like to learn how to use a machine buffer. They will know you are interested and willing to learn

I literally threw mine away.
If you need an impact then that's likely not going to do what you want.

>>15903193
Go to harbor freight and buy an air ratchet and then go to your local hardware store or home depot and rent a compressor. Shit will cost you like>40 bucks.

This is what I'm getting.

http://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-8-Amp-1-2-in-Corded-Impact-Wrench/3307992

Proper tests put it over 500ftlbs, Which is more then enough for any job I'd have on my car.

>>15903142
Should have got sedan, it looks alot better. At least the white makes it look not so bad

>>15903142
You cant drive fast in it, the car can barely do 65 any faster and the Korean bolts start to rattle and you can feel the car literally struggling not to fall apart

muh m p g

because jeep is moving away from their target audience of offroaders and now making bloated luxury vehicles, a la Range Rover, to target at the upper middle class soccer moms so they don't have to worry about parking in a muddy field at little Scotty's game while they text their bull about evening plans.

>>15902897
9 is best number.

sell it and invest the money in whores and cocaine.

Where are you getting the pedal set? Got a donor car / junkyard source / aftermarket setup lined up?

Not that I am opposed to hookers and blow...

>>15902789
Picked up a set of 87-93 Fox pedals. They fit, you just have to cut off the excess. On 84-89 Mark VIIs it is pretty straight forward. 90-92 need a bit more cutting.

Least you're alive buddy.

Yeahhh just pretty bummed out man, 23000 miles on her.
Pants are fine, to be honest having the top down made it easy to crawl out of, even for my 6 foot passenger (photo taker)

I picked up this Craftsman set
>pic related
Cause it was less than half of any other listed price I had seen.
It's OK.
It works.
But to me, it takes up too much space.
Know what I mean? There's too much space in between sockets and just wastes drawer space.
That and the plastic pieces are so large that unless you have one of the large chests-o-drawers you can't fit more than one pieces in a drawer at a time.
Nice idea and all, just not practical.

I like the metal socket rails. Compact and portable.

>>15902697
i like those cheap trays with the pokey things to put your sockets on. I just use one for 3/8" deep since I use those 95% of the time. I just grab that tray out of my tool box and put it near where I'm working, then grab the 10mm 12mm and 14mm and keep them with me since that's the majority of the sizes I need on my cars.
