the r32, z32 and s13 started in 89 iirc.

Jap cars were ahead of the curve in the late 80's . Same with american

>$2k
they're lying, or it's maaco, or it's a shitty shop

a proper car color change is 5 grand or more and takes upwards of a week or longer

>>15841537
Take off emblems yourself, they'll probably just mask them.
I'd pull everything. Lights, wipers, any molding that you can.
Do as much prep work as possible, they're going to do it as fast as possible for a $2k job.

Metallic is a bitch to match.
Differences in air pressure or just how the flake is settling within the paint sprayer can make a visual difference from one area to another.

They have to break the surface by sanding to give the new paint something to grab hold of.

>>15841537
$2k is too cheap to be a good job. A quality paint job will run you between $5k-10k. They strip the entire car and sand it down.

piss off stance fag

>Private roads and parking lots have to be the shittiest pieces of shit ever.
Private roads are owned and paid for by private citizens. HOA's put speed bumps not because they like them. The residents don't like them either. But it stops teens and irresponsible manchildren from using them as personal speedways.

>I can't even take my stock chevy malibu to half the places in my neighborhood because their parking lots are filled with speed bumps the scrape my car

You are not alone in this criticism. I have a different car from you, but also come close to scraping. Rather than blame people who defend themselves, you should put the blame on the cause of the problem. That would be the people who ignore parking lot rules and speed thru the lots proclaiming "muh freedom!".

Supply and demand. Look it up.

Any 3/4 or 1 ton is expensive.

An ugly bro truck like you posted goes for even more usually.

>>15841367
Because they start out super expensive and the people who can afford them without it being a fleet truck keep them nice, meaning you get maybe 10k off of MSRP after 8 years.

>women know the difference between a rotary and piston engine
If she can't tell a V6 from an inline six she's not going to figure out why your Miata sounds like a juiced-up lawnmower.

>>15841071
yeah but they sound like fucking vacuums you piece of shit

an eg hatch with a couple simple mods would btfo any of those

>>15840669
>no title
no way

>>15840708
Did you also just watch episode 11 of initial d?

But yeah that would be cheaper.

>>15840757
I figure if he gives me the vin I could just do a lost title, it's 25$ plus a small percentage of what the car is worth. Unless there's something I don't understand?

>>15840664
shut up and buy a civic for 3k and stop ubering.

>>15840674
no.

>>15840694

>>15840495
not as sporty as the e92
more reliable
probably comfier
manual trans available if you look hard enough

I see. Performance isn't all that high for me 2bh. I'll probably take one for a test drive tomorrow.

>>15840563
manual or you're a cuck though

>that camo
>them poverty wheels
>running boards

not really. although it's neat that you can still buy a rcsb

>>15840475

A shit load of Yankees, cubanos and worthless degenerates live there.

>>15840385
Like I used to live in Massachusetts and New York and none of those places had as many bad drivers as this place.

>>15840376
Because Miami is a Third World tier city populated by shitskin third worlders?

Every time I go to Miami I'm amazed that it's even an American city.
No one there is an American, unless you count the tourists or anchor baby's

2/10 would not buy

>>15840367
I cant drive stick and I drive an awful lot so I would see manual becoming annoying, do you think it would be a good car for me considering how clean and low mileage it is

They know how to make cars

>>15840281
They knew how the make cars. The MK3 has nothing on the MK1 Focus build quality.

>>15840276
Sort of. All the WRX owners are moving over because they're getting sick of people asking their vape setup just because they own a Subaru. Ford is catering to their new market with some decent cars.
