Okay /o/, tomorrow I'm going to buy a 2002 Mustang GT with 112,000 miles on it for $1500.

Any advice? Things I should look for, things I should know, easy power mods, etc.?

I've always wanted something with a v8, but I've only ever driven Hondas, so I don't know a whole lot about common issues with them.

Picture of the actual car. I'm really hoping the black shit on the hood is just vinyl. I guess it doesn't look that bad though.

I've never worked on my Chevy, couldn't tell you how easy or hard it would be.

I know changing COPs and plugs on my Ford is a pain in the fucking ass and requires the fuel rail pulled and a hole cut in the cab though.

Try not breaking things and "fixing" stuff I guess?

ford ranger or chevy s10?

after doing some research in hopes of finding a good little truck i have set my mind on these two. can a ranger/s10 owner give their two cents to which truck i should purchase?
17 posts and 4 images submitted.

>>15186406
which years?

The first gen S10 was a utter piece of shit, and the 4cyl ranger won't get you any better mileage than an F150 with a 5.0
>>
>>15186406
S10 lasts a little longer, not by much.
Ranger looks better.
S10 has more aftermarket support.
Ranger clutch feels better.
S10 is wayyy more available.
Ranger has better suspension in terms of ride.

I purchased an LS400 sight-unseen in a state 1,500 miles away. I am flying out to it and driving it back. I *think* the car is in great condition and its timing belt job has just been done. What kinds of things should I buy when I get there to take with me on the journey in case of emergency or maintenance issues? Also I have never driven this long distance before and I need to do it within two days to get back to work on time. How do I avoid fatigue, or the effects of fatigue?

>inb4 OP you stupid faggot

Yes I know.

Having done a bunch of shitbox long distance adventures honestly just go over the basics.

Check all the fluids, belts, hoses, check the tire pressures, make sure the spare has air, make sure the tires aren't dry rotted, take it around the block a few times and make sure everything feels good.

Since your flying out don't bother with tools. Pretty much anything you can fix on the side of the road you can buy the tool for at any parts store.

As for fatigue, don't drive if your dead nuts tired, it's risky as fuck. Take a 15 min break at reststops and walk around bit. Take a quick nap if you need to, I have to all the time on long distance trips.

DAE cringe at people who cringe at ricers? Like, they act as if liking cars for their performance instead of liking cars for their aesthetics makes them superior.

Do any of you autofags use manual shift mode?

I recently bought my first automatic car because I needed a new car and a family member sold it to me for a good price. I drove a Celica GT-S 6 speed beforehand. Now I can't help but put the shifter into manual mode everytime I drive. It doesn't feel right if I don't work the gears myself.

Kind of nice not having to use the clutch tho.

I do when I need to, came from a similar background to you as well except that I had a 00 Civic Si
>>
>>15185994
I occasionally bump my Civic's auto around, but I've never owned a car with a tiptronic/etc mode.

Paddles on regular autos drive me nuts though, it just doesn't feel right.
>>
>>15185994
Only when I'm going downhill and don't feel like braking. Otherwise, just use D.
