In summary, it wasn't even close and he proceeded to tailgate me for the next 10 minutes all butthurt. Lane finally opened up again, he flew around me in a rage, and we both ended up going into the same neighborhood.

Anon how's the IS350? Is it a good "sports sedan"?
>>15687973
Straight line speed is very satisfying and will effectively pin you back in your seat upon mashing the throttle. Handling and steering feel are probably nothing special, but I'm really just going by what I've read from various auto journalists. I have no personal driving experience with its competitors such as the BMW 3-Series.
I'll just say that coming from an old, beat-up Civic, it's pretty hard not to like it... lol

What kind of car shows you're rich but have good taste and class?
My friend wants to get a 365 Spider but I told him that's for plebs
>>15702129
Not a 15 year old convertible red V8 Ferrari
If he's gonna go older and wants a Ferrari, gotta go with a V12 GT car like the 550. That way chicks will dig his Corvette.
EcoBoost Ford GT
Shows you care about the planet as well as superior performance
All "rich people cars" are bought by tasteless idiots. There are no exceptions I'm aware of except maybe a brand new toyota century or something.

Help I'm retarded. Where's the shift paddles? It's clearly not a stick, so how do you "manually" shift?
Post your car /o/
Datsun B120, standard a12 running sidedrafts, extractors and ported head
Crown royal saloon G codename: Pimpmobile.
My El31, bought it before i had my license and before i could drive manual.
98' Toyota Supra in the greatest factory colour ever made.
So, how bad is prolonged idling for an engine?
Lets say I leave the engine running at idle for 1-2 hours to have AC while I fuck my GF in a parking lot...
Am I causing any permanent damage or extra wear to the engine by doing this?
>>15696647
Yes, you are degrading the cams. Do a 15 min quickie with your gf like a normal human.
if you're just fucking your girlfriend then 2-5 minutes of idling shouldn't be an issue
>>15696657
how does idling degrade the cams more than normal driving?

>Fiata coupe
There. Mazda and Fiat are now dominating in every niche of the cheap and chearful sportscar segment. How long before Mazda makes a coupe Miata, and Fiat makes a 124 RF?
These two companies combined are truly great, offering both turbo and n/a, and both retro and modern styling, respectively.
Pic related, fan rendering

Clutch job, never ever again.
Wasn't even that difficult, every single bolt was seized at 50k miles.

Calm down, It's not like it's gonna come out with superior multijet diesel.
Is having a garage essential to being a true /o/tist?
How do you fags manage without being 300k in debt with a lolmortgage?
>>15701221
Rent
>>15701221
It helps a lot, both with storage and being able to get work done. I need a shed now though, because my mower, etc get in the way too much.
>without being 300k in debt with a lolmortgage?
It beats paying rent if you don't plan on moving soon. And it's nice having your own house and stuff.
Why do you think the only houses that exist are McMansions in suburbs?
thoughts?
>>15701125
>>15701139
>nissans cum
Yes they do.
is this actually considered a supercar? i always see it as a really fast sports car. it has shit like a backup camera. i can't see this as exotic or super. it can also make way more power, it's limited. how can that be super? four doors, all wheel drive, automatic, it's just off.
What are your thoughts on this video /o/?
Feel free to share, I'm genuinely curious.

That first example was of what not to do. Who the fuck swerves into the left lane like a retard like that?
>oh someones on the left of me?
>too BAD
Left lane is only for passing or if there is no room on the right.
>>15698964
So people who need to get on the left lane should just go without looking and cause an accident? Because they're more privileged than a slower driver? k
I want to learn how to weld, what would be the best route to go through. My community college that I am attending doesn't offer a welding class.
>>15690100
Buy a mig welder and watch some youtube videos and just fuck around with it, not that hard.
Make sure it's actually a mig welder and not a fluxcore wirefeed, fluxcore is dildos desu
>>15690112
Also just buy a 220v machine right off the bat, 120v machines are fucking shit and you wont be able to weld half of what you want to
>>15690112
theres a $650 millermatic 130 welder in my area, should i buy that?

Why are you sat at home alone on a friday night?
Why aren't u out at da meats with ur bros or >gf?
What are your car related plans for the weekend?
cars are greater than whores
post your waifu
im about to go for a drive
idk where to go
My car got stolen and crashed into a pole so it's sitting at my moms house and I'm here now taking apart the trim and interior while I wait for new control arms and cv-joint and axle.
>my bro is flying down from his job tonight maybe he will pick me up Saturday night

>Why are you sat at home alone on a friday night?
Poor.
>Why aren't u out at da meats with ur bros or >gf?
Poor.
>What are your car related plans for the weekend?
Installing a couple small fans to make sleeping a bit more bearable. Recutting one of those reflecting shades to fit my window better. Probably just hot glue a strip onto my existing one. Accidentally cut too much off my first shade.
Then I'm going to rebuild the rear desk / storage unit and put my battery bank back in.
>cars are greater than whores
At least my van won't desert me.
>36000 lumen led light bar inside and no light emitting on the outside
I dont know too much about engines; Could you theoretically make any old American V8 into a powerhouse?
I like the idea of taking an old engine, especially one from the post-arab oil crisis and rebuilding it with power in mind. Or are the engine blocks themselves hampered to begin with?
Nope. But that's a really loaded question.
Some decent heads and a cam will wake up most smog era engines.
>>15700869
its the heads that are shit. and the emissions controls and the shitty early gen fuel management.
making power is easy. all it takes is money.
All the power lies in the heads. You can make a high revving motor or just a big lump, but if you have good heads you can make it work. Just forget iron heads entirely. It's the current year and they aren't good enough unless it's an oddball engine with no aftermarket, in which case you better make friends with your local race gas supplier.
