whats our starting point? there aren't a lot of route options to get there so we could probably meet as far south as marysville without anyone having to double back

Would you get a z4 2.2i or a scirocco 1.6t for 13k€ ?
Keep in mind europoor retarded pricing.

I'd get a Boxster S instead.

I wouldn't get either of them. They are both awful cars, trying to look sporty and failing to be/drive sporty.
Be sensible and find something else.

>Obtaining a CDL: How do?
Community College or a dedicating truck driving school. Do your research and don't get sucked into a "school" that's actually just a meat grinder for a shit company. Do not pay over $5000 for a course that lasts several months.
>How can I into avoidings shit companies?
Here are some decent/good companies:

>I could totally go to school but I'd rather be a trucker.
If you think you'll love the lifestyle, maybe. You'd be better off getting a """""real""""" job. You can fall back on trucking at any time, but it is essentially a path of decent money for those that fail at everything else.
You can have good business sense and work ethic and make it big as an owner operator, but you would do even better at any other job.

I'm curious of the differences when driving a bit harder. Nearly all manufacturers of affordable cars use the adaptive awd, probably because of the lower fuel consumption, while premium or more sports-orientated cars get permanent awd. I have only driven two Mercedes SUVs with permanent AWD, so I don't know much about the driving dynamics first hand. What will be the difference driving dynamics-wise when torque is only sent to the rear wheels during certain situations? Will e.g. a VW with 4motion understeer more than an STI?

Cars with the shitty haldex AWD systems understeer more than cars with real AWD because they don't send torque to the rear until AFTER the front wheels have lost traction. Also, I believe they can only send a maximum of 50% of torque to the rear wheels
>>
awd does not help a car steer better. its about putting power down.
in my cars with awd, the front and rear would lose traction at the same time if i cornered under power, just going wide really.
you are supposed to drive an awd car more like a fwd car i think. just get on the gas a lot earlier and use it to pull yourself out of the corner.
its easier to drive a rwd car.
>>
>>15649193
During normal operation the maximum is about 50%, yeah. When necessary 100% can be send to the rear afaik, e.g. when starting to drive. I guess the oem haldex differential isn't strong enough to deal with more than 50% all the time.
Are there any other cars like the evo x (and maybe earlier evos) where you can set how the torque is split up?

They can make good cars, the problem is that for decades every good car gets shitcanned before it reaches the public because it would kill the Corvette.

yes
if you maintain it like you do with 90's hondas or chevies
>>
>>15645114
If it has been factory maintained then yes. If it has been maintained properly by an indepedent mechanic, and you continue to do so, it will be reliable. Keep in mind things will break, as they do on any car.
>>
not necessarily. it's just prone to failure since most are old as fuck now and weren't maintained the way they were meant to be. if it has service records for a long ass time you're probably okay.
still I would set aside money for maintenance if you're not comfortable doing your own timing belt and water pump along with cooling system

I want to buy a new car and i've been looking at the Mazda 6 mainly. However, i've seen the Mazda 3's are practically the same but just cheaper. Just got a few questions
- What's the big difference?
- Which model is the best value for money?
- Which year should i be looking at?
I'm a 26 year old male and looking to spend around $25,000, give or take a couple grand. Also buying in Australia so cars are a bit more expensive than the US.
Help me

Tbh one of the main appeals to me about the Mazda is the way it looks and the fact that it's not one of the 'luxury' cars, so general servicing and repair costs wouldnt be as high as if i were to get a BMW / Mercedes
