You'll still have the 370z. But that's the only one I could think of.

>Scion tC will bow out next year

Are they not going to sell as a Toyota like other scion models? It was one of the more successful scions there was

Remember that they didn't just lie about how clean it was, they also lied about the actual MPG since their cars switched operating conditions to give higher MPG during testing.

It is like all those PC computer graphics cards that switched operating modes when they detected a testing program was running. That was how nvidia got huge speed "performance" ratings.

If you choose to use the recall, the car would have the computer adjusted to run cleaner, but its MPG would drop a lot. So if you wanted to be the maximum douchebag, you would refuse to take the car in for this recall. By not fixing it, you get the best MPG at the cost of the environment (and thus cheapest operating cost for you).

>>15154386
Good luck passing emissions, stupid ass. Once the recall is over the unmodified cars won't be street legal.

>unless you have a narrow street/ with cars parked on the other side in which case you rather reverse on your way out to avoid hitting anyone or going through a 3-to-5 point turn

but yeah otherwise it's cooler to park backwards. better visibility when you're pulling out if there's many cars around.

I back in, because I suck at spacial awareness, so I want to improve. However little backing in helps.

>>15154164
Back in unless I'm out in public where people apparently don't have the patience to wait

yes

Most people can't remember their bad accident but in time you'll feel better. Maybe avoid driving for a bit.

>>15153494
git gud

>>15153500
This. Take some time away from driving until you feel up for it again. When you do get a car that you feel comfortable and safe In. Stick to back roads and suburbs, move your way up to main streets and highways. Finally back on the interstate. Basically like teaching a kid to drive and feel comfortable on the road again

Actually, the part of the lense being glued back to the taillight is not visible and doesn't obstruct the light or lenses.

The car is already deemed a "total loss" and I have title in hand... Not exactly a show car.

Is this going to be a plastic on plastic bond?

Nah, I'm Australian. I've owned two Skylines already.

...they're kinda shit

>>15152936
Shit I wouldn't pay the US price for a mustang. Fuck spending $65k. Id say I feel bad for you Aussies but you get alot of cool jdm shit.

>>15152936
Keep the skyline, buy moar parts and drugs/booze. Either that or get something classic like a 240z, maybe even an old school celica and do it up nicely.

>>15152946

We were lucky to get all the JDM sports cars from the 90's, but after the R34 finished production, and they stopped making the Supra and Silvia etc, there isn't any new cars coming out of Japan worth getting.

All late model US imports that come here (Camaro, Corvette etc), have to be converted to right hand drive, and end up costing $100k for even a base model.

>>15152919
For 6,000? Forget the infinity, the bmw well all of them. Dude they will all have like 160,000 miles, missing second gear and bald tires for 6 grand.

Get a 458 speciale

>So what would you get?
Well if youre honestly asking

First, yourself this:
>What are the pros/cons buying new vs. used
>What improvements were made over last gen

Personally I'd go used 2015 Focus ST with ~15-25k miles.
>Save thousands of dollars for sick mawds
>Still good condition
>Still god machine

The FIST is a better car in my opinon.
I've driven both. The focus feels like it want to rip itself to pieces if you push it.
The FIST imo handles better and is more fun to drive. And oldly feels better built to
