if you change the oil, its very likely you'll die when the truck rusts in half at 70 miles an hour on the freeway long before the engine gives you any trouble. just take normal care of it and enjoy hauling shit around.

Not an expert on SUVs to say the least, but the daily driver suburban has 260k on it and nothing except oil changes and brake pads have been done (aside from the one time my brother tapped someone and we had to swap a fender, but that wasn't the car's fault)

If I may ask, why do you want a larger vehicle. Wouldn't something small, sensible, and reliable, with good gas mileage (like a Miata hint hint) be appealing toward a college age buyer?

I'm in Pennsylvania and winter here is shit when you're on the roads because they take forever to get plowed. My mother advised me on an SUV with 4WD to combat this. Personally I'd go for a car, but she's adamant about it. It's not her money or anything and I'm the one buying it so I still have the final say.

>AC blew warm
probably needs a recharge.
>intercooler pump was dead and the car wasn't making full power, presumably as a result
definitely as a result. The intake manifold on those cars doubles as a water to air intercooler. An intercooler cools down the incoming air. Colder air is denser air. So the colder the air is, the more power you'll make If the intercooler isn't working right, it will affect the power output.
>water on the passenger side floor
Actual water or engine coolant? If it's water, I wouldn't worry much. Likely just a door seal or sunroof seal that needs replacing. If it's engine coolant (which should be red), then the heater core is shot, and a big repair. If it's the heater core, it could also explain the issue with the intercooler. In that case, replace the heater core (not an easy or cheap job) and replace ALL the coolant with fresh new Dexcool.

>shift lever was loose
I warned you about this last thread. TWM Performance sells a cable clamp to fix this

>Also, the clutch pedal was stupidly hard. Is that normal?
no. Something is wrong there


Also.
>Competition Package with LSD
NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE. Very rare option.

Judging by the wheels that's a titanium, which are DCT only. The DCT is the biggest source of complaints for the MK3, I'd look for 5spd version as they're much more reliable.

i had absolutly no car smarts at all i was fucking stupid and a kid when i was working there

i stole tons of shit hated my boss and smoked behind the fucking store when i would take out the trash

my manager still works there and im actually doing somthing with my life and now i just pity him

Chain parts stores require you actually be retarded to work there.
Car knowledge and experience is an automatic disqualification.
Sounds like you're perfect for the job then.

The fact that your threads are being deleted should tell you something

I don't understand why he hit the car. Yeah it was making an illegal U turn, but you could see that shit happening.

Initial D is way more popular then you can imagine.
It is universal in car culture, especially in this newer generation.
And in recent times it's become "cool" to like anime, to put random japanese characters on things.

Fast and the Furious.

But they don't even know what JDM means.

Then this R/T magnum comes into my shop…
I work with this motor ALOT. ((i work at a dodge dealership)) I've seen what these motors can do. Love the performance of them, blah blah blah.. There are so many options to generate bigger power, that isn’t easily possible with the prelude or the charger.
Then there's the car itself. It's oddly enough the exact year and color as my charger, but better in every. single. aspect.
This magnum is everything that i want my charger to be. It has leather seats, sunroof, bigass v8(( and all the performance accories that come with it, vs the 2.7 that has absolutly nothing to offer)) more useable body style, better paint, the key actually unlocks the car remotely, half the miles, less paint flaws, a bigass v8(lol) ect ect. Its just a better car in most everyway.
My issue is that I’ve fallen for it, and I’m not too sure that I afford it. I would obviously be trading in the charger for the magnum, but it’s looking like I’ll only get 2k for it. Though I bought it for 2k, I’ve put money and parts into the car. It’s worth more now, but that’s not the issue. The company wants around 5k for the car, and that’s the issue. I’m a lowly mechanic, and I’m not generating much money at this point.
There is various options that I can see
1) Get over the car, continue with my life with the cars I have. The prelude can be my toy, but it’ll never be a v8. It’ll be a badass turbo 4cyl car from the 80’s but still, it a niche market. I’ll have a project toy that’s pretty unique, and a boring ass DD.
2) I sell the project prelude, trade in the charger, and the magnum becomes the project. I go from 2 cars to one, but mostly no debt. I would have the money to modify the magnum to my liking. But still one car to my name again. This option, I would have a really badass magnum, but I will have lost all the money/work I’ve put into the prelude, and the money/time from the charger.

#3 would be pretty awesome/stupid, having two cool ass cars.

I know this has been kinda long, but I didn’t want to vague when asking for advice. What do you guys think? Should I just leave it alone, and go on with my life, or go after the car that I really want, and can have fun with? Do I get rid of one project to just get another, or do I keep them both and have awesome yard ordainments? Lol.
