Okay, /o/.
Getting a car. Want to get one used under $10k with low miles.
Here are some options I'm looking at.
2011 Saab 9-5
2000-2009 Saab 9-5 Aero
2000-2009 Saab 9-3 Aero Wagon
2004-2006 VW Phaeton V8
1997-2003 BMW 540i with the M-Sport package
Concerns are gas milage, reliability and maintenance cost.

The older Saabs are sketchy, the Phaeton is a drain and so is the bimmer

I would say go find a friend that has a manual transmission car, but that would require you to have friends
>>
>>15552567
So rental car places should allow retards like you to burn up their clutches and kill their synchros just so you can learn manual? Seems like a good deal.

>I'm a beta cuck who just lets people ruin my car because I'm supposed to bend over backwards for friends
hello /o/ my friend has a 4th gen vw jetta
<pic of it
turboed, cat delete,cold air, finely tuned, and custom fuel delivery. all of that was done by the previous owner.
the first thing he does when he gets it, he slams it.

Been trying to sell my Jeep for the past couple of weeks, only two callers and both of them stopped responding.
Why is it so hard? Is it because it's a manual?

You probably want too much for a shit car.

>Is it because it's a manual?
Actually yea probably.
I was talking to a mechanic, he was trying to sell a car. It was aesthetically pretty good for a 13 year old car and the internal components were all in top working order. He was selling it for dirt cheap, like 1500 below KBB. I was confused as to why he hadn't sold it yet.
He said
>People are really intent on getting it because it's so cheap. But once they learn it's manual they act like the car's on fire. If it was an automatic car I could sell it for nearly twice the price and somebody would buy it.
So I bought it. It was my first car.

How come Fiat managed to make one car the best looking and best sounding car ever made? Isn't it a bit unfair to other manufacturers?

Would you drive Hummer H1? I think it's kinda cool, but honestly it might be one of the few cars (along with ridiculous lifted trucks) I'd be too ashamed to drive, just because the level of douchebagginess associated with it.

That entire association is just normies that pretend to be enthusiasts.
Most normies don't make that association and nor do real enthusiasts.
Hell yes I'd drive one.

Only a complete cuck would drive one of those.
It's driven by people who have no knowledge of cars, and have no interest in cars.
A bland boring shitbox, designed purely to go from A to B, with no fun, involvement or excitement.

Ok guys, I am in a position of starting my own company for retailing tons of car and tuck upgrade parts and accessories. Having signed on with a distributor, I now retail over 500 major name companies for carstuff. However, I cant come up with a name.
Being this company is a subsidiary of another umbrella company, it has to include the name in the title.
Lets call the company "Jackson Inc"
So I need to name my branch something like
"Jackson Auto Performance" or something to the effect of. I dont plan on offering any installation, just selling the parts.
Any ideas?

I have CRX for 7 years now and recently WRX wagon and I wanted to keep CRX with its B16 as a fun to drive weekend car, turbo it and stuff to make it quicker. But it is already at the limit of traction and FWD means no fun in corners, ploughs straight when I floor it mid corner. Also its 26 years old and kinda stock-ish condition, it would be shame to ruin a youngtimer. Also: WRX despite faster and 4x4 is boring to drive, quiet, comfortable, has turbo-lag and you feel 150kph like 80kph in CRX. So idea is: Sell CRX and get something nimble and RWD. Price range up to 10k Euro. Any ideas? I was thinking S2000, but it is only hair faster than CRX. Miata is even slower :) 200SX is very close in performance... M3 is fast but kinda heavy and not very sporty... Any suggestions?

>M3
>not very sporty
Lmao
You can't even afford an M3 btw, the cheapest ones start at ~12k € and above
>>
>>15552282
For under 10k euros you can try to find some older Subaru STI, maybe an MR2, maybe an E34 M5
>>
Last time I've checked M3's were starting around 10k for some less loved ones. It doesn't have to be pretty, it must be fun to drive. My WRX has like every body part with some dent or scratch :)
I was thinking STI when buying WRX. Too similar and still AWD. Also they are like twice as expensive to keep over WRX and working on WRX aint't cheap.. Or easy as it is boxer and even spark plugs need some disassembly to access...
MR2... I'll take a look.

Trademarking you autist
You do realize that they're just warming up for twin turbo'd 5.0s, right?
>>
why do they even sell a mustang with a turbo v4 when na is superior to turbos and on top of that the v4 is more , less reliable and doesn't really get good fuel economy. Its good for yuropoors

Euroturds can't fit big cars on their streets, that's why they drive diesel FWD shitboxes and ride buses

Is the Si worth a damn?
200hp and sub 3000 pounds seems like a decent package to me for the pricepoint.
Any other n/a coupes out there that aren't a nissan or american muscle?

Forum DIY posts are usually the best way to get started. However... even if you follow DIYs step by step, you're going to break things, misplace parts, and possibly fuck something up. There's no substitution for understanding what you're doing. And the only way to learn that, is by doing it. Just expect to make mistakes, but don't let them get to you, keep on going. We all start somewhere.

The right brace on the driver's seat in my pic related snapped and I need a new one.
Googling "1994 Honda Civic car seats" leads nowbere.
