Budget is up to $25k. She didn't want an SC300 because no infotainment.

I go to college soon and I really want a motorcycle to drive around there. Is there any decent motorcycle(Preferably Harley) that is under 2000? Looking for a chart like the sticky, just for motorcycles. Thanks.

a motorcycle is not a good only vehicle for college. I have experience with that.
as for bikes, just get anything that runs and has less than a 800cc twin. look for honda shadows.

I just recently started driving (and filling up) my own car and I think I fucked up and put e10 in the tank (only half-filled it).
The pump said 94 octane and I saw nothing about ethanol on there and my car can take 90 or higher, but the receipt says I put in e10.
I live in NSW, Australia and I don't understand the octane rating system (I hear it is different in aus), can someone explain to me how/if I fucked up here and how to not do it again?

Why haven't you removed the spare tire and tools from your trunk yet /o/? Easily 35lbs or better in weight savings, better gas mileage, better acceleration. You probably have roadside assistance via insurance anyways.

Because I live in the middle of nowhere, and if I have a problem I need to fix it myself.

The weight in the rear give more grip to the tires and helps my acceleration.

cause somebody stole my spare tire

Probably going to want to do an engine swap from whichever one i get, and a manual conversion if its automatic. I'm assuming with a big engine bay and because its a older Chevy it shouldn't be very challenging?
I live in a rural area so my craigslist options are limited. There's a few I've seen but a lot of them are rust buckets.

If you didn't have the foresight to see this coming it's your own fault, but it entertains me
>>
>>15493387
No, it's not. It has a CVT and it's loud and uncomfortable. If you're going to suffer at the bottom tier of cars (your hemi probably got repo'd), at least get a Nissan Versa.

>>15493387
a manual honda fit is nice but def more expensive than a mirage.

lol, and you think the geo wasn't loud and uncomfortable?

I'm looking to do some modifications to my Ford f150 from 1997. It's my first vehicle and what I'm really looking to do is improve the gas milage. I was thinking an improved air intake, any suggestions?

if its the v8 dual exhaust helps a bunch
then its tires.
NOT AN INTAKE
>>
Is it the V6 or the V8?
If it's a V6, see if you can track down maintenance history. If you can't, then start replacing all the gaskets you feel comfortable with. The original gaskets on that engine for that year are trash and need to be replaced, or else you'll destroy the engine. Most notably, the intake manifold gasket likes to go out and leak coolant into the cylinders.
After you get those fixed, the engine's pretty rock solid.

The truck was only driven until 2001 where it then say unused in a parking lot for 15 years.

I learned to drive stick on an F-150 with no tachometer, and as a result, I shift entirely on engine noise and intuition. Is this normal, or do most people pay attention to their tach when shifting/rev matching?

I still drive my civic with no tach by sound aswell. Its becomes second nature when jumping in any other vehicle.
>>
>>15493212
>civic
>>
My old truck had no tach, I shifted by sound/vibration and speed. I put together what speed my gears wound out at, and shifted near there. When it comes to Rev matching, my transmission was pretty God tier. Wouldn't let you in gear without clutch unless you were in correct Rev range. So I just had to blip the throttle til I was in range and it would slide right in.
