from sometimes 7 up to 9/10
how would I know if my car loves me back
>>
Honestly, as much as I hate how my a pillars are fuck huge, I'd rate my Fusion a 8
>>
10/10 mainly because it's better than walking everywhere and I got it close to free.
If cars could love it'd hate me because I drive like shit

Retarded car things you do that you wouldn't admit to people?
When looking for ricey crap for my civic I forget that I own a sedan and not a hatch.
I will be looking at something like a rear spoiler for a civic hatch and then remember after like 15 seconds "Oh wait I bought a sedan"...

I force myself to pretend that my Bentley is a Honda, so I can feel more relateable to other people on the road when I drive it.

Hey, /o/, my first post here.
I live in Lithuania, and I have always dreamed to drive an american car. Not necessarily something exceptional, just that movie style 90's car, you know.
I have just missed a 1998 Crown Vic, but I do have these options at hand right now:
http://www.autogidas.lt/cadillac-seville-sedanas-1997-0127312935.html
http://www.autogidas.lt/cadillac-seville-sedanas-1995-0128233816.html
First one has 186k miles on clock, and I bet the second one has something very similar.
It's extremely hard to find any info about american cars in my country, so could you guys comment on general reliability of these cars? It's the engine I'm worried about the most.(Northstar V8)
Plus, what suspension does these models have? Is it air/hydraulic? Is it dependable?
At what repairs should I be looking at, given that mileage and an assumption that these cars were decently maintained?
Or should I just wait/order a Crown Vic?
Also, other suggestions in that price range are very welcome.
Many thanks

These are with air suspension, is that right?
I'm kinda afraid of those, I doubt those are reliable.
What does /o/ recommend I do to revive an old motor with 20k miles that has been sitting in disuse for 20 years?
Specifically I recently acquired a barely used but old, 1985 gas motorhome and want to fix it up to last a long time since I'll be sinking at least 10 grand into upgrading it to livable status

pour a bit of oil down each cylinder before trying to turn it over
get it running then cook meth in the Sonora.

Replace everything rubber and all fluids. Rebuild could be a good idea, but check for compression and spark.

Been here long enough to watch this meme get twisted in any which way.

Where did this meme come from that carbs have poor throttle response?
1: at operating temperature (bloo bloo i need to take care of my engine
2: with carbs that haven't sat unused for 6 months
3: with a stoic A/F
then carbs will always, always have better throttle response than EFI.
This is indisputable for people who have experience both.
Drive by wire is cancer.
>but my carb doesn't have an accelerator pimp
It may not even need to, rarely does a motorcycle carburetor have an accelerator pump yet they always react instantaneously to throttle changes
The fact of the matter is that the ECU has to take time to think. An carb'd engine will just suck whatever it can whenever it can which will always be more efficient.

You're right that drive by wire is cancer, but carb is worse than cable operated electronic throttle body, this is a fact
>>
>>15636063
>this is a fact
Sir, that is fiction. A tight throttle cable to a carb will always produce quicker action then asking a computer first.
>>
>>15636072
I don't think you understand how a throttle body works. A physical throttle cable opens up the butterfly valve in the throttle body just like it actuated the valve/slide in a carb.
Also throttle response depends on the type of carb. CV carbs are shit for throttle response.
>but carbed motorcycles respond quicker than my fuel injected car
No shit. They have significantly less rotating mass.

What does /o/ think of this Corolla? It's within my budget (slightly lower than what I have) and it's my first car.
Main concern is many of my friends are telling me buying old cars are no good, I personally think financing a second hand 44,000 MYR Proton Preve

Forgot to mention, I know the exhaust dreadfully needs a replacement but I'm not sure which. Friends are telling me to change the rims but I'm not sure why.

Nobody on this board knows anything about third world countries or their automotive markets. Do not take anyone's advice regarding this car besides this advice.

So I might be able to get a LMTV for cheap, but I need to decide soon.
I'm from SC, so there's not a lot of open country for off roading, but mudding is popular, so I'm sure I can find fun shit to do with it.
Should I go for it? My mom told me it'd be sub-$1,000 and that sounds crazy to me. But I won't know for sure until tomorrow.
Anybody else own surplus military vehicles?

By doing exactly what you just said.
Buy the most batshit model you can lay your hands on, no compromises on displacement, and do a burnout out front to establish dominance over her and the rest of the neighbourhood.

If you put the front seat back all the way, probably; not sure how much room there is in the back but probably not enough to be comfortable.

You probably can, but why would you put money into a FWD shitbox like that to make it only marginally faster?

Put a Hayabusa turbo engine in the back seat.
