jealousy.
>be normie
>at age 20, you marry and have kids
>You had a fair head start as a middle or upper-lower class man. With a bit of dedication, you could have easily made it to the elite, but you didn't do that.
>So, THAT'S IT. Your life is over. All of your money is for your family now.
>You did as your father did.
>Convince yourself this is a virtue, that you are superior to others because of this
>Some single guy your age didn't do that when he was 20. He saved, he invested, he worked, and he did it alone. Like his rich father did, he doesn't expect to even begin dating until he's well past 25. Women are a huge waste of money.

>fuck him.

That and you stick out. Humans are herd animals, and love conformity.

How do I get it off?

Remove all studs.

Ayy lmao

What's so funny? Thats a good price for the most godly of suburbans with the most godly of engines in a climate that never sees salt. If I needed a winter beater I'd probably head down myself for two grand.
someone offer 800
would restore the hell out of that truck.

What's your guys' thoughts on ChrisFix? Are his videos enjoyable for you?
>>17743394
He is ok I guess.
His engine bay cleaning video was tops.

He seems like the Hickok45 of cars.

My dad is offering his old 320d Touring to me as a first car.
It's an AT Diesel family wagon, and a bit big for the city, but it's RWD and drives nicely.
Should I take it or maybe sell it for a Golf 7 or some other car that won't rape me on insurance as much?
>diesel
>as city car
>wants to trade it for a golf 7
Cuck: the post
Take it. Needing a small car for the city is a meme unless you cam't park for shit.
The n47 engine has its faults but you can easily get 5.1l/100km. Also with the stock map it's not fast.
3 days ago I just bought a Focus Mk3 from 2015, like the one in the photo, with a 1.5 diesel engine.
Put some premium diesel in it, drove 10 miles, engine dead. Computer says "Engine service now".
Had to tow it to the Ford dealership. In the weekend none of the guys working there know how to diagnose it with a laptop. I'll have to wait until Monday to find out what's going on.
Engine starts for 2 seconds when I turn the ignition, then it dies again.
Before I bought it, I took it to the dealership for a revision, they said everything was ok with it.
What are you bad luck stories with newly purchased cars?
Are you sure you got a diesel
>>17742906
Yep. Car's papers say diesel, badge, etc. Sure I fueled with diesel as well, says on the gas station receipt.
I found lots of posts on the net with people having that message, some after refuelling as well, but no consistent solutions.
they make diesels?
>buying a diesel car
>buying an AMERICAN diesel car
Sup /o/.
I've got €20k ish to spend on a car. Going for a used one obviously. Here are the top contenders:
>2013 BMW 320i, 170 HP (RWD)
>2015 FiST, 182 HP (FWD)
>2012 Merc C-class 180, 156 HP (RWD)
>2012 Audi a3 1.4 TFSI, 122 HP (FWD)
The BMW is the best rated, the FiST the most fun, the Merc has the best interior (I find this also important) and the a3 is pretty cheap and a very good drive as well. I drove the 2001 one when it was still pretty new.
Halp me choose.
>>17742657
Are they all the same price/mileage?
>>17742660
The FiST is the most expensive at 22k but only 16k done (10k miles)
BMW/Merc for 20k each and about 60/80k (37k/49k miles)
And the Audi for 17k with 42k (16k miles) done
Of the four you posted, I think I'd probably go with the 320i. You're kind of in a bad middle ground in terms of your price point, if you're just looking for a daily driver I'd go for something much cheaper and older though I guess I don't know enough about the car market in your country. I have a bitter hatred of the new BMWs because they are utterly sterile and lifeless but they are decent cars.
Is there something specific you want out of the car? Personally if I were to give you one piece of advice it'd be not to buy a car out of warranty for more than €10k, but I think your circumstances are different.
I'm really havin trouble deciding a first car /o/, at first I wanted a BMW 3 series, but I see everyone saying "bimmerfag", so idk if I should go for one of those or say a gti? what would you guys recommend for a good fastish first car? (inb4 check the sticky)
>>17742408
Rvery used 3 series is falling apart, please reconsider.
>>17742408
Get a 3 series. If you can afford the maintenance and upkeep they are great. Ive got an 07 335xi thats modded and it is fast as fuck. about 4k in repairs over the last year though..Fuckin I-drive was 2k. mechanically its been sound though.
>>17742408
I like the 328i. Find one that has had a recent major service performed though, ask for paperwork

So I drove my car through a flooded road tonight because my jerkoff freind led me through it. Afterwards the car had trouble getting from 1st to 2nd gear and then above second. It wouldnt get to above 50 for a while. I had a long drive home so I had to keep going. After a while it started looking like it wasnt going to keep going at all but then revved really high for a second and then was shifting ok. I'm going to take it in tomorrow to get checked out. What's the worst I could have done/what will the damage be?
>>17742149
Nothing happened to it. Take it to a mechanic to confirm
>inb4 they charge you for $1000 worth of pointless repairs
>>17742216
I'm thinking water in the intake manifold?
>>17742223
That wouldn't cause the shifting problem. The engine would start seizing the moment water starts going into it.
>GT86
>7400RPM
>Mustang GT
>7500RPM
What happened to Japan? Where are my 8000RPM redlines?
>>17742089
But is the interior still tupperware?
Boxers are shit
the modular is simply superior to every engine out there
the rest simply can't compete
Explain the meme
>>17742058
Cute unapologetic shitbox that's stupid cheap and decently reliable
Also really easy to meme
>>17742060
This. Come on dude it's cute as fuck and absolutely a meme for good reason. Also front seats lay back to make a bed for gud fugging.
>>17742258
Disregard name pls
Daily reminder that every "as fast as your dollar can go" car can be annihalated in a straight line and at the track by a 3k craigslist shitbike
And every 3k shitbike can be annihilated at the public roads by a Mum taking her kids to soccer practice in an SUV

>car starts and runs fine when cold

>will not restart when hot if you turn it off
>Fuel pump and injectors are working
>won't even fire with starting fluid
>getting spark from coil to distributor
>plugs wires cap and rotor are all new
>Literally just started happening after over 8k miles with 0 issues
It's obviously an ignition issue but it makes no fucking sense how it only turns to shit when hot. Any ideas why my shitbox is being a dick?
it's american probably
