I love GTs. The premier GT of the world for me is Aston Martin. I'll never be able to afford one, so instead, after the S550 Mustang reveal I was all over it. I think Ford did an amazing job in maturing the Mustang for the European market, and to me, it is hard to deny Aston Martin inspiration in its design. So it got me thinking, if James Bond was CIA and had a car with all the gadgets, would it be a S550 Mustang GT? That's my pick obviously because the Mustang GT for its burly V8 and a size and heft that makes it durable to slam into bad guy cars in high speed chases. A light bodied sports car just doesn't seem to fit the bill imo, but what do y'all think? Mustang? Challenger? CTS-V? Something else?

Dodge Neon SRT-4 because it always has something to prove.

lol. You know I've gone years not seeing one around here (513) and then last week I saw 2 within 10 minutes of each other while driving to work.

Cts-v is a good one because it's a classier corvette. Challenger is a bit pigfat for this. Mustang seems ok. I'd like to see bond in a classic shelby or something though

You have to paint it. Do you have an airbrush?
>how fucked am i?
Depends on how much patience you have. Keep in mind there's more to it than just putting the pieces together. Just cutting them out and cleaning them up takes precision.
I want to get a new car and found an Infiniti g20 2002 with 210000 miles. It's cheap only 2500 but I want to know if it's a smart purchase or if the car will break down after a year or not.

I owned one for about 2 years. Dont buy it unless its manual.
Its basically a sentra with leather. Power steering lines WILL leak and WILL make you want to kill yourself. Also the coolant overflow tanks always crack and get contaminated.

The only Nissan I would buy with that mileage is a Maxima, pre-2004

Even then, watch for rust! Lower radiator support, rear torsion beam. Also, chances are the rear trailing arm bushings will be shot (fluid leaks out and they get noisy but still look fine) and they are a pain to replace. Not a problem per se you can drive the car just fine, but just deal with the noise. This is from direct experience having just bought a beater '00 Maxima a few months ago and daily driving it and doing some wrenching.

What are your feelings on the four-door Jeep Wrangler? I live in an area with a lot of Jeeps, and I hardly ever see two-door models anymore.

Their proportions look off because of the length, and they seem like they'd get high centered easily compared to the 2 doors.

Are they less prone to death wobble at highway speeds?

Tend to be owned by someone that wants a Jeep with the classic Jeep look, but doesn't want to commit to the utilitarian design of a Jeep.

Anyone Range Rover owners or anyone whose familiar with them on here?
Im thinking about purchasing this 1993 Range Rover Classic SWB (Short Wheel Base) for $1500 bucks.
it runs and has 107k miles Also the air suspension replaced with Coil Springs kit 3" Lift so i dont have to deal with that nightmare.
The owner says whats currently wrong with it: ABS wheel sensor, power seat switches, Radio, Blower fan and thats it supposedly. The exterior of doesnt matter all that much to me, i know im buying a beat up car but
Would it make a halfway decent daily (esp in New England) (the car isnt from NE) or am kidding myself?

Do you have a specialty shop nearby that could take on the jobs you can't do? If so, go for it. Watch out for rust.

Guys. I never come to /o/, but this is my car, a 2009 G6 GT. I want to do shit to it.
Basically I want to get a cold air intake kit and a new mass air flow sensor, a specialized hood based on the GXP design, an exhaust kit, and probably new headlights.
Am I a retard? Although Pontiac has a shit reputation this car has never really given me any issues other than the ball joints on the front wheels

Yes it'll never compete against anything more than some fwd hatchbacks from the early 2000's. This isn't the Fast and Furious Era anymore, fwd and anything less than 8 cylinders is absolute shit. If you like the Pontiac look, get the G8, v8 if you can but even the v6 will feel much better than what you have.
>>
>>15622807
The GT model (AKA my car) has a V6.
>>
>>15622745
At least sell it for the GXP anon.
V8 and fwd. What could go wrong?

Richard Burns deserved a better end as well. A Brain tumor is about as bad as it gets.
To think they risked their lives driving at crazy speed on the harshest of environments, and to have to suffer something like that? Not fair.

I live in Canada, and I already have a good car. But I've always loved the look and feel of sports bikes (/street bikes)
Buttt I've never driven one, and I only know some basics. Was hoping you guys could answer some questions?
In case any of you guys are generous enough to lend your wisdom here are my questions:
>Is it possible to get a bike with automatic gear shifting? Instead of manual with the clutch and all that?
>What companies are the best and the worst for bikes? I keep looking at Honda for some reason is that bad?
>Are bikes actually safe to drive in the rain/snow? I've heard answers for both sides some say yes some say fuck no.
>If I wanted to buy a bike cash only under 7k (new pref but not necessary) which should I get?
>and if I really wanted to be cheap, under 5k (new pref but not necessary maybe not possible?) which should I get?
P.S Never been on auto before, I hang around /b/ so don't hate me if I do something wrong here.

>Is it possible to get a bike with automatic gear shifting? Instead of manual with the clutch and all that?
Yes, Honda offeres DCT bikes and I don't think they are cheap.
>What companies are the best and the worst for bikes? I keep looking at Honda for some reason is that bad?
I like Yamaha and Kawasaki. So these two.
>Are bikes actually safe to drive in the rain/snow? I've heard answers for both sides some say yes some say fuck no.
I'd advice you no. You can fall anytime and kill yourself.
>If I wanted to buy a bike cash only under 7k (new pref but not necessary) which should I get?
Since you asked the snow question, see the Versys series from the Kawasaki. They are great for the money.
>and if I really wanted to be cheap, under 5k (new pref but not necessary maybe not possible?) which should I get?
Ninja 300. But it isn't under 5k but just over it.
Be safe.

>>15622132
Thanks for the replies!
But there was one question you did not answer. Are there any bike companies I should stay extremely far away from?
And one last question, what is seen as a decent amount of money to spend on a bike? I have money, the problem is I live in Canada and our winters are nasty I can't use this thing year round so I'd like to put most of my money toward my car, or other luxuries not to the bike. The bike is more of a for fun thing. Hence the 7~ish K limit. But what do people usually spend on a new bike if they want good quality without breaking the bank?

>>15622145
Forgot to include this pic. For future reference this is the style I like to see in sports/street bikes. A sorta modern and sharp look rather than rounded or moped-looking

Find one that's not rusted or something similar that's not rusted. Is MPG or space for passengers a concern? You can broaden your horizons a bit if not.
