You've been transported to Canadaland, and are now a college kid with $8k. Which car do you get?
Jeep Cherokee, save leftover money
>>15266117
There's very very few of those left in Canada. The rust has sent most to China by now.
i would save till i had enough to get a buissness loan
>Stockholm, Sweden tested a "Speed Camera Lottery" where speed limit-abiding drivers were automatically entered into a drawing to win a prize pool funded out of fines paid by speeders.

Do you like this idea, /o/?

>getting rewarded for obeying traffic laws
>funded by everyone who doesn't
I'm totally fine with this.
Speed cameras a shit
>>15265869
Typically that shit goes to pad police officers paycheck, so why the fuck not?
Sounds fair.
Interested in the Fiesta ST but wanted to hear from any owners on here.
Dimension wise, is it really cramped inside the car?
The trunk area looks stupid small, how much can be fit back there?
Or would i be better off going for a Focus ST?
Not looking to make power or throw it around corners, just DD.
Oh and what color of the paint would be the most bland and generic of the bunch?
Was thinking of going Silver and debadging
Silver is always the most bland color on a car, prove me wrong. Protip: you can't.
>>15265569
Exactly thats why i was looking at that color.
I need this car to stay under the radar and have a bit of a sleeper look
>>15265586
It'll have ST badges. Not very sleeper like.
This is a thread dedicated to possible /o/ missed connections. Just take pic or name the car and where and when you saw it. Also we can discuss ways we can tell if a car is a /o/tist. Pic related Datsun 2x0 z didn't get a pic of the whole car. Circle k on 40th and Broadway in phoenix.
>>15265150
Sorry Idk how to fix pictures on the phone.
this one time i buttfucked a dude who had a WAT tattoo on his asshole.
i didn't think anything of it at the time, but i really think i missed an opportunity there.
I was at ACEN this year, walking through the parking garage for the Hilton/Embassy suites, saw a generic looking car with a twingo plushie in the window. I want to say either the twingo or the car itself were a lighter blue color. It had illinois or iowa plates, I forget. Tried to get a picture, but it blurred out.
If you were there, you know who you are.
You know how famous the this 240z is?
You would think the owner would be like "Hell yeah, I made a car that blew up all over the whole internet"
But he isn't...
I heard him a video talking about it a few months back and he goes
"I don't understand why people made such a big deal of that car, it really wasn't that good"
WTF!
>>15264985
Fuck off Corey you cancerous piece of trash.
>>15264985
He's right though, there are nicer S30s.
>>15264985
Never seen it before. Looks pretty trash though.
I want to wrench my own car, but I have essentially no tools (or experience) whatsoever, or a jack. Is it really worth the investment? I'm afraid I'll buy it all and it ends up sitting around unused when I discover I'm incompetent
>>15263729
Yes definetly, no one gets good unless they try stick at it and it can be the most rewarding and cost effective thing you can do with your car. Yes yes and more yes
It's not a big deal honestly. If you want to have a go, look at second hand for things. That way if you never use them haven't lost much.
Working on your own car is fun, at least for me. You don't have to do big jobs, and you don't have to fix things that don't need fixing. Start small and slow.
Just make sure you get some jack stands. Never get under a car that's not secured
>>15263729
just get basic stuff then, im a mechanic and even i just get my stuff from Canadian Tire and princess auto
decent jack is like $100 and basic tool sets are on sale for $100 all day long, dont get a basic jack and jackstands though. those are what save your life. my uncle didnt use jackstands at all and the car fell on him and killed him, myself i just use hoists and wont go under a car on jackstands

Does Ford acually expect people to buy this?
>$400,000 for a Ford?
>>15306002
No. Of course not.
Considering the people who will probably end up getting chosen to buy one will have copious amounts of money, I don't think they will give a shit.
Now fuck off.
>>15306002
Yes, a fool and his money are easily parted. Plus they have to make back the cost of the BOP changes.
What is your project car? The car you're going to keep working on and tinkering with, maybe it'll have multiple engine swaps and tranny swaps and suspension tuning by the time you're 80. The car you want to spend your entire life building and eventually die of old age in?
For the younger people like me, what's your future project?
I've posted about it before but pic related is mine. I absolutely adore it and would love to buy one and just keep restomodding it over the years and doing the leg work and custom fab for engine swaps from whatever honda's highest performance 4 cylinder engine of the era is.

Wanna buy and restore an old Camaro. I know it's the basic bitch muscle car, but my dad had one and he loved it almost as much as I did. I want to share something like that when I have a son.
>tfw no FB RX7 mad max build
I just wanna brap around the wasteland
>>15291552
Nice try kiddo but Mad Max is classic cars only
Discussing the incident below in another forum, where some said that one should always engage the parking break when parked, to which I said the parking break is unnecessary with an automatic transmission, as when it’s put into “park”, the vehicle can’t roll anywhere due to the trans being locked.
What's /o/ opinion on using a parking break with an auto trans?

Anton Yelchin: Jeep that killed Star Trek actor was recalled for rollaway risk
The SUV that rolled down a driveway and killed Star Trek actor Anton Yelchin was being recalled because the gear shifters have confused drivers, causing the vehicles to roll away unexpectedly, government records show.
Yelchin, 27, a rising actor best known for playing Chekov in the rebooted series, died on Sunday after his 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee pinned him against a mailbox pillar and security fence at his home, Los Angeles police said.
The 2015 model-year Grand Cherokees were part of a global recall of 1.1m vehicles announced by Fiat Chrysler in April, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration records show.
The agency urged the recall because of complaints from drivers who had trouble telling if they had put the automatic transmissions in park. If they were not in park and a driver left the vehicle, it could roll away.

Shifter for a 2015 Jeep Cherokee;
>taking any chances when parking on an incline
What are you saving your handbrake for?
My grandparents own the same model Jeep with the same gearshift.
It was a accident waiting to happen, there is no alert to let you know, hey you ARE NOT in park, but reverse.
How are come Americunts are so dumb they can't make a car with more than 8 cyclinders that isn't total dogshit?
I'm sure this is based on all the time you've spent behind the wheel.
>>15301784
But they did

If only you could point out reasons why the viper is shit...
>muh interior
Sports car, not a luxury-sport car
>muh chrysler reliability
Name any sports car over 100k that doesn't require a lot of maintenance.
Neither of us have ever driven a viper, so in truth everything you "know" is just cherrypicked from other people's opinions.

agreed. honda makes pretty good bikes.
Hey /o/,
I wanna get a "sporty" light car, is there a better alternative than the ep3 civic ? I know i could get a FiST or a FoST, but they are close to 20k and i'm not sure i can afford it since i'm moving out in the next year. I'm looking for a car that's cheap to own, low fuel cost and fun all-around.
Pic related, im looking to get this one, it's 9k and it has 130k km on the clock
