Cue autists screaming "MUH FEELS".

I prefer to have full control over what gear I am in.
Manual transmissions re cheaper to rebuild than automatic transmissions.
I don't particularly care for multitasking while driving.
I consider driving manual to be fun.

Some cars are better off with a manual than auto. Vice versa.

Different strokes for different folks. Why did you make this thread again, OP?

Get an older Jeep. TJ or XJ preferably. Simple to work on, parts are pretty cheap, and a lot of potential for upgrades.

Get something cheap, with a large market. Dont just jump to something that may be amazing but requires a particular buyer. You might be able to restore a 70s mercedes but youd also need someone to want to buy it.
Try something simple like a neon or a beat corolla.
Yesterday i sold a 2005 lancer with close to 150K miles for $2,000. Got that beat POS for $450. Pic related when i bought it.

Also, don't underestimate the work you may need to do.

I would not buy anything 1985-1995.

Older than this range carbonated no computers minimal electronics (could have problems finding parts check this before you buy)

Newer than this range you get OBD2 diagnostic, fairly stable fuel injection, air bags, AC

If you buy something in the range you will probably have computer or electrical problems that will be hard to work on with some parts being remodeled or changed yearly

This one, in race series that aren't boring, is fucking annoying.

Good question

F1 is trash, but rules aren't what makes it so.
Go drive instead of watching someone else do it.

I fill up when it's empty. I don't really care how much it uses, unless it's faulty-suspicious much.

>>15497744
its true :^)
i used to care more about it but now i just putin gas and occasionally write it down.

Also something I should have included: where would you want it on the sliding scale between race car and luxury?

Far left being basically zero luxuries or features, just enough to make it street legal. Far right is luxury GT car with everything you could want.

I swear to god you better not drive FWD

>Not enough space for ratcheting spanner to slide of the end of the nut
>Nut and stud is rusted so I have to use the spanner to get it all the way out, can't just use fingers
Took me a good thirty minutes for something that should take no longer than five.

>Had a similar issue with the intake manifold on the same car at another time, couldn't get my arm up to where the intake manifold bolt was from underneath the car, and couldn't go in from the top either

Lel my honda accord did that as well. Kept on finding my floor flooded after It rained. Turns out that it came loose because it's just two tubes that sit in one another (no glue) against the sidewall and can be easily pulled apart.

I don't have experience with them so really don't know what I'm talking about. All I know is that Mitsubishi has a terrible reputation for reliability.
