What's good and what is bad? What did you drive before it and how do they measure up?
Listen, I know hummers get a lot of hate, but honestly, I love the look of them and the gas mileage on the h3 isn't that horrible

The security guard was peepin it.
Dumb ass really thought he could get an R32 legit in CA of all places.
In SF no less. The main DMV, not a satellite office.

I am trying to get a old 1962 Plymouth Valiant v200 started. It sat for 3 years, PO died and I bought it from his dad for $400. It did not have a carb so I installed a Motorcraft 2150 on it. Only 2 vacuum lines I can find are the one that goes to the distributor advance and one that goes past firewall for heating I think.
The motor is a 225 3.7l slant six, I replaced plugs, wires, dist cap, rotor, coil, ballast resistor fuel pump. Points system was replaced with a Pertronix Ignitor electric ignition. I've got fuel and spark, and checked the timing about 100 times. The crank pulley timing mark lines up with TDC so I don't think it has slipped. All I can get is a backfire from the carb. Any advice?

Find top dead center on any given cylinder.
That is now cylinder #1, rewire distributor accordingly.
Old shade-tree mechanic trick I've picked up.

Have you tried to start it on starting fluid? If it won't start on that then it's something timing related possibly. You could also check the compression too.

Is the Fiesta ST as good a buy as the reviews say, or is it shit tier?

low quality but fun to drive in a plebby kinda way
Starting to look for a newer car for a mix of commuting and some longer trips in the winter (Central/North Indiana to central PA and Upstate NY). Grew up on very rational and efficient Hondas/Toyotas, but I'm looking for something a bit different. I've been DD-ing a beater '00 Maxima and actually rather enjoying the good V6 power and laid-back automatic transmission. Selling the Maxima this weekend and looking for something that basically captures the Maxima's style: a bit more fun to drive than a Camry with a bit more style, with good power, smooth ride, and all-season abilities. Newer is better, budget is anywhere from $15-20k.
I had a '16 Passat SE as a rental for work, with the 1.8TSI motor, and actually REALLY liked that car. Enough power, supremely comfortable, simple clean styling with some presence on the street owing to its size. Other contenders: lightly used upper-trim Taurus (actually considering an SHO), ex-rental Impala Limited (w-body with the 3.6L 300hp V6), and an ex-fleet '15 Charger SE 3.6L. Charger would be RWD, my hope would be that with snow tires and modern ESP it'd be passable in the winter, especially with how flat it is where I live. A big trunk is pretty important, when I travel I currently fold up two large dog crates (imagine a 47ish flatscreen TV sizewise). The Taurus 20cu ft sounds awesome, w-body has over 18 and is nice and long, also nice. Passat has 16 cu ft, and is probably at the lower end of what would work, although it has enough space in the rear seats to stow them there. Charger trunk is also in the 16 cu ft range, with a high lift-over, another minus in the utility section for it.
Overall what I'm looking for is something like a larger sedan that's a bit more interesting to look at and drive than a Camry/Accord, and somewhat more 'substantial' feeling going down the road: ie smothers potholes, doesn't feel crosswinds.
Any other options I may have overlooked?
That rental Passat got stupid good MPG for me, indicated average went over 40 mpg at times in 77mph-adaptive cruise highway driving. Hand calculations yielded 38 mpg, still freaking fantastic.
Like I mentioned above, the power was pretty 'adequate,' but hell I wouldn't mind some more. I've had a few of the Impala Limiteds are rentals and they drive like perfectly mediocre turn of the century Gm products, but they have some undeniable swagger and charm to them in a weird sort of way. Transmission is geared crazy tall, but man the LFX V6 is a beast once it gets the right gear and gets the RPM up a bit. I worry most about how one of said Impalas will age. I've had sub-20k mile rentals where there are already some squeaks, doors slam shut and don't feel 100% aligned, etc.
Anyone?
>>15827299
Get a granny owned panther. Grand marquis. Not as wannabe cop as the vic and less dowdy than the town car. Taurus is shit, vw could have questionable reliability and the dsg is more maintenance intensive than the manual. Impala is just nigger tier
Oregon fagg/o/ts, is this true? Are you actually not allowed to pump your own gas?
Don't they do it in New Jersey too?
>>15827194
Yes, it is the law in Oregon. I find it very annoying and would much rather just do it myself, but I know some people prefer it.
>>15827209
That said, if the attendant isn't there in the first minute or so I just start the pump anyway.
Hi /o/

Might as well drive a Camry
So I live here in Cornistan (read: Ohio) and my poor saturn L300 can't handle the roads and trails I have to drive to get anywhere anymore. I've narrowed it down to these two as they are both relatively cheap and reliable. I don't plan on buying one any older than '04 to '09. Which is better?
CR-V for reliability
Forester for better AWD
The Forester is better in every way imaginable
I've been looking at Foresters almost exclusively for my wife's next car can CRVs or Rav4s even compare on reliability (after head gasket service) and mpgs?
It's about time Canada adopted the US dollar. A Focus RS is 50k here, versus 35k in the US. How can a country attached to the US be getting cucked so hard?
And to make things even more funny.
>>15826909
>wahh my country sucks at investing/spending money
>wahhh we are now fucked because we a low cost of living with high income
>wahhhh
You are turning into fucking Australians. Fuckers think they have it hard, when it's double the pay, exactly the same cost of living as the US so they make more and spend less. The only fucking thing that costs more for them is imports.
And thats because their dumb asses have 20% tax with 10% more tax on imports.
Blame your fucking government.
Repping Toronto
The reason why Canada is so fucking cucked is because we're weaker than the States in every way. Trudeau and his father are terrible leaders that fucked us up good
Good fucking riddance.
>Velez was conducting a stop when he was hitwhile outside of his patrol car on I-90 westbound near the Warren Road exit.
I believe in enforcing "slow down move over" with bigger penalties, and some officers actually want to help people.
Unfortunately this won't change OSP idea of "law enforcement". This is a shitty way to generate revenue in a city that has huge problems, one of which being high rates of human trafficking.

No the guy was just doing his job. It's not his fault he's assigned to the radar gun.

You take the chance of getting pulled over if break traffic laws. No need to be edgy about it op.
>>15826915
To be fair, pulling someone over on a freeway is putting everyone's lives in danger.
