>changing lanes with passenger in my car
>"omg anon why didn't you turn your head to check your blind spot!!"

It's 2016, why isn't blind spot elimination through proper mirror adjustment taught in driver's ed? Why is this nugget of information reserved for defensive driving classes after you get into an accident?

Don't people realize turning your head isn't a free action and comes with an associated risk?

1.5 dci motors are very fuel efficient.
1.2 petrol on clio is death sentence.
Golf is best option but it's a 11 year old VAG car.
Can you get newer fiesta with tdci ?

Why are minorities such as Asians, Blacks and Mexicans attracted to modified cars so much?

It seems that minorities just tend to like cars a lot for some reason.

I always wanted a mustang or camaro as a kid. Got an 80s FR shitbox that handles well as first car. Test drive pony car and it just feels fucking heavy as hell. Yeah going fast in a straight line is fun I guess, but otherwise the car feels pretty normal.

I know the feel op. I test drove the FiST/FoST and fell in love though.

It doesn't help that you had a boner for a piece of shit.

Go drive an FR-S/BRZ/MX5, rev it out to redline with your foot on the floor and take some corners faster than you think you should.

So my brother picked up a 2008 Honda Accord in 2013 from the dealer, apparently they had some sort of de-odorization before they sold it because days later it smelled like smoke (apparently because the prior owner was the type of moron who chain smoked in the car with the vehicles down and enjoyed smelling like an ash tray). We've used pretty much every type of scented shit (including black ice, yes we fell for that one) and it just puts some cover on the smell, the moment it dissipates/disappears the smoke smell returns with a vengeance.

Are there any effective odor neutralization/elimination solutions, or is he just fucked?

It's a pain in the ass but what I have done is load up on those slide in a/c air fresheners and get a spray can of febreeze or something. it's a temporary fix but you can overpower the smoke stink with chemical. I noticed it's worst when parked in direct sunlight.

if you can remove seats and shit do it. give the car a thorough cleaning. Ammonyc detailer guy on youtube makes a good video. he uses a steam cleaner on the headliner, floor and some chemical he makes then uses some machine that looks like noo-noo from teletubbies

I'm going to use an apholstery cleaner and my steamer for shirts, and a fuck load of ozmium to try and get some similar results
>>
Try and borrow an ozone generator. Put that in, switch it and the aircon on, leave it in for a few hours. Afterwards, ventilate the car really well (will smell of ozone for a while afterwards). That should get rid of the smoke smell

How viable is it to buy a shell and build a car from it? How costly would it be than just buying a salvage car, stripping it down and building on that?

It's definitely viable to build from a shell; they repop all the parts. It's much, much more expensive than just buying a relatively complete car. Those shells are mostly used for custom builds big expenses.

/o/ last week I took my car to the mechanic to put in a new clutch in it
The mechanic ended up changing the clutch and flywheel pressure plate and basically everything and took forever and charged me a small fortune

Anyway, i got the car just yesterday and today as I woke up and went outside i saw there was a puddle of oil underneath my car.
The oil looks brownish like engine oil and not red
This car does not have a transmission oil dipstick but I am not missing any engine oil

Assuming this is tranny oil on the floor, will I damage it by driving the car until monday? the mechanic does not work on sundays.

>>15887396
Assuming it is Trans fluid, you can severely damage the trans if you drive it.
Smell the fluid. Does it smell like engine oil? Or trans fluid? They both have very different scents.

FUCKING WHY
All they had to do was:
>call it Celica because it fucking looks like one
>Toyota makes FWD variant with current engine
>Subaru makes a 4WD variant with a turbo engine like GT Four used to be BECAUSE ITS FUCKING SUBARU AND THEY MAKE AWD CARS
>Scion is the RWD variant with a bigger, say 2.3l engine

Can someone explain this retarded shit to me?

I don't see how you can brag about your car scraping when there are people on it to make it scrape.

If your car doesn't scrape very much just lower it more to get more scrape... Don't get your mates to sit on the bonnet and shit..

That's just retarded.

This, you can't get a straight answer from anyone because they're unwilling to give one due to the answer conflicting with other beliefs they have.

Also it's probably because if they did actually have a think about what they're doing they'd realize how fucking stupid it is.

Denial is a superpower my friend.

Now can you explain why you're so buttburnt about people liking what you don't like?
