I've always thought that modern lamborghini's looked like absolute shit. The proportions are ridiculously wrong, it doesn't resemble a sporty car shape at all, rather looking more like some fucking transportation pod we'll be using in 20 yrs, or the crap gm and ford pumped out in the early 2000's.

In fact, lamborghini's never looked good, the muira was kind of pretty, but everything else worked up until the gallardo and mucielago because they were not only futuristic, but so fucking ridiculous that is was okay, because they were for rich fucks who wanted to stand out, and because they were actually about pure luncay like pagani is today.

As soon as they stopped being too ridiculous to look real, and the german influence began to take hold, they lost their appeal I think. People still buy them (literally every fuckwit who knows nothing about cars and gets some pile of money from youtube or investing has one) because they want to show off, and because they naively think it's the most insane and fast car you can get. Half the people who drive them spend hours going fucking 20 kph around L.A. so they can show off to other niggers and gold diggers

Fuck them

Yeah I think all Lambos are pretty ugly. Also they age really poorly. It's not timeless design.

The drivers are especially bad too. It's for people who can't get Ferraris.

I love the countach and the diablo but for that futuristic 80s aesthetic

Reliability seems hit or miss. They are famous for blowing motor mounts which subsequently destroys the engine.
The also aren't the best in their class. Oh yes, they're fast, but they also torque steer like a bitch. What's ironic about this is that the Mazdaspeed3's chief rival, the Chevrolet Cobalt SS Turbo, does not suffer torque steer problems despite having a similar 260 HP (290 HP with the GM stage 1 kit available at dealers), and does not have the motor mount issues.
The Cobalt does have an issue with carbon buildup though, due to the direct fuel injection. It requires a cleaning every 30k. However, that's minimal compared to the torque steer and motor mount issues of the Speed3.

For sure we could do a GT Spec car

Lefties would probably get butthurt if they saw a 4chan car. Which is the only reason we should need to do so.

>>15443621
What would our slogan be though?

noice cars. this is my '65

tomorrow I install the new heater core and locks, and hopefully get it registered because I have been driving without tags for a few months now.

No volbros on /o/ tonight? This thing makes 20 more hp than the Cobalt SS of the time.

Bump again. Dude's asking $5K for a 2008 2.0 trim (R-Design) predecessor. 125K.

they're decent cars, fuel economy isn't that great tho from what I hear

>>15442818
Exhaust leak.

Don't do that. Get it fixed immediately. Literally toxic gas.

>>15442818
Is it sweet smelling? Possible leaking heater core?

>>15442818
ayo lil nigga you gon die if you don't get that shit fixed dawg

If by better you mean at failing all the time, yes.

>>15442507
Then why did they stop making them with Manual transmissions?

No. The automatics aren't as reliable as the manuals. On top of that, they just aren't very good automatics.

I don't know about the new ones, they're probably fine. Still not reliable though, because post E46 BMW is shit

I think your car already does this when you drive in Reverse.

That would break the immersion.

Not a bad idea but keep it at 120F max, you'll melt the glue holding the lens. Also, you need to find out why its collecting moisture I.e. Clogged vent

Fuckin Somalians

Is everything still straight and inline? Or is it going to be one of those trucks where the trailer wheels are sitting 18" to the left of the tractor tires? I see those shipping container trucks tunning like that all the time and it is so fucked up. They will ge driving down the highway with the tractor in the middle of the lane but the rear of the trailer in the other lane.

Trailer doglegs about 2 feet to the right and we just put new tires on the second axle. Looked at the suspension and only the right side is bent, left looks unaffected to the naked eye but it is twisted.

Bonus - managed to squeeze out the real reason for the pole hit - he was playing pokémon go as he was driving in the parking lot.

If you wonder about the open door on the tractor, the driver just left the truck+trailer like this to me as he was getting into his car and leaving for home. We keep a second set of keys in the office and naturally I am the one that has to get this shit fixed.

The boss is going to be very pissed in the morning after I show him the pictures.

OP Here,

Was in a car frontal collision with a SUV about a month ago, on 12/06/2016. Had a concussion, perforations on the intestines, fractured hip and femur, and wounded cervical vertabrae. Should walk again in a couple of weeks, i consider myself very lucky.

In high school this bitch tried to pass me on the left while I was turning left into my driveway. Hits the soft spot behind the door. Huge dent. I get out and say "what the hell were you doing are you Fucking retarded?". She starts crying. Her mom shows up and the cops do too. Her mom comes up to me and asks if we are ok and then proceeded to bitch at me for telling her retarded daughter how it is. Not having it. I explain in detail why her daughter is retarded. She gets wide eyed and walks away because a 17 year old just tore her a new asshole. Later I find out the cops tried to put me at fault under the table since her mommy knows someone. Insurance companies fought it out after that.
Also my car got totaled when I guy missing his right leg rearended me while I was waiting for someone in front of me to turn.

Rear ended a bigger truck than mine while making deliveries in an Isuzu NPR. Motherfucker was stopped on a moving highway. Another truck dodged out of the way of it but I didn't have enough time to stop or dodge myself. Firefighters needed 3 sets of jaws to get me out. Those shits don't have any engine compartment to cushion anything so the dashboard went straight into my knees. Came out with two broken legs (left one was hairline fractures, but my right leg fucking exploded because that's what happens when you're jamming a brake pedal in a collision). The surgeons I've had were fucking wizards and they saved my leg.

It's been three months and I'm walking again and almost back to normal. The truck is sitting just like this in our parking lot. My company doesn't drive NPRs anymore.

Are you gay?

My power steering fluid is leaking pretty badly in the right side of the vehicle what would be the best replacement for the rack and pinion?
