seeing as there are cars with over a million miles still on the road i'll say no

Lots and lots of preventative maintenance. After 30 years you might end up rebuilding the engine or replacing every single part, but it will be your car and it will run for as long as you can keep fixing it.
>>
Take very good care of parts that can't be replaced or repaired, everything else is just a matter of money.

How to use one of these? I just bought one of these and tried it on a scratch, it became too blobby and ran off and make like a bigger and worse looking streak. What's the best way to deal with a medium-deep scratches?

Just don't press down on the pen so hard and if you have a brush end try using the brush.
Lightly apply coats, and then apply your clear. There's no exact science for a newbie, it's not easy and you'll fuck up a lot. Just keep trying
I had two fucking chips in my door and I managed to touch it up. You can still see it up close but from a distance you can't tell. It's far from perfect but you're not gonna get perfect with a touch up pen. Also be sure to clean your surface
>>
>>15578495
wait a minute are those chips or holes in the wall. Either way cant tell. Alright Ill try to do that then, thanks and wish me luck
>>
>>15578473
A touch up pen is the cheapest solution and you get what you pay for.

What's the best way to get a good price at a dealership? My last and only experience buying a car involved me seeing a sticker for ~$7000, driving it around with a rep and got real chummy with him, then when I said I'd like to buy it the friendly rep fucked off and in came a hard-sale douche who laid out a price 2 grand higher than what the sticker said.
What's the best way to deal with the nonsense of salesmen at a dealership?

Just graduated from university and I'm torn between buying a BMW e46 M3 or 2006-2007 BMW z4m coupe.
Opinions on both rides? Which should I choose in regards to fun, aesthetics, maintenance, etc?

Neither. A civic until you have enough money to repair it properly when needed.

>>15589265
but I'm too good for a civic
I may have never driven any car hard and only barely know how to commute with a stick shit but I am fucking entitled to sports car.

Sup /o/. Prospective buyer here. Got my eyes set on an MR2, but honestly cant make my mind on which one I want for sure.
Which one is the best to live with?
Factors im considering include
>age
(and how this effects the car, especially in New England)
>availability
(2g '92+ are impossible to find unless they're rice taxed beyond reason, same occurs occasionally with 3g '03+)
>ease of DIY, cost of non-DIY
(dont have the tools to drop the engine and trans to do a clutch job)
>driving dynamics
(1gs are go karts, early 2gs are "lively", but 3gs weigh 2200 lbs and are considered to be the best handling)
Car is going to be a daily, and for all intents and purposes, my only car. Whatever chassis I pick will eventually be a swap candidate once it's served its purpose. Storage and passengers are not a concern.
My budget is about 5-7k
What would you pick /o/?

All MR2's are great, but the supercharged AW11 is simply the best. Did you get those in yurop?

would /o/ approve of a 933 with an ls1 motor? they're both red so it should work fine.

also would it mitigate the high cost of their maintenance or is the entire car pretty much impossible to take car of without another sitting around to part?
>>
>>15581882
That looks like a 924. An LS swap would be awesome but you might lose the 50/50 distribution.

None. You are going to need extensive special service tools for diagnostics.

>>15596873
What you're looking for is called a motorcycle.
Wrenching in general is not fun, unless you're a Masochist. I only do it becuase I'd be broke otherwise.

I literally got the man who restored the interior of the Ferrari for Ferris Buellers Day Off to do this suede for me. He was expensive and took a while but worth it

Does there exist a car that is under $5,000, manual transmission, >92HP, and gets AT LEAST 40mpg like my 94 Civic VX does?
I like this car but it is slow. Very fucking slow.

If you want speed you arent going to get 40mpg

I don't need 0-60 in 4 seconds, but I would like something a little better than 20s 0-60 and can go over 80mph without hitting the red in the tach.

Litterally every ford or honda ive been in.
Absolutly terrible vehicles.

zx2 escort
the shifter literally squeaked when i used it
play in the steering
clutch slipped like mad
brakes going out

At least other shitboxes are fun because they aren't trying to be fast. Then you get in a Civic SI expecting something and it is utter disappointment.

Does $350 sound like a fair price to have a shop install a lift kit, caster/camber bushing, and have an alignment done? The lift kit is just coil spring spacers and rear suspension lift blocks. I would do the kit myself, but I don't have the tools, time, or place to do it.
