Jeeps are junk unless you have the money to keep them very well maintained.

Basically it goes for anything with Chrysler products

>>15058356
Worked on them for just under a year and found that jeeps are pretty unreliable but the wranglers were alright

>>15058356
JKs literally have a minivan motor. Also anything except for the wrangler and grand cherokee is absolute shit. Get a TJ.

That aside, does it have a 2.5l?

>>15058209
Depends who was driving it. Any maintanance records? Its a great car but if some dude bro owns it and its obvious its been launched every corner stay far away. But if it looks very good like it doesnt even have 149k miles go for it

>>15058229
Yes

>Is crown vic a car that has decent motor swaps available? Or even just the ability to add on to the existing v8?
It's basically the entire drivetrain from a 1996-2004 Ford Mustang GT, so yes. There is a LOT you can do with them.

Try to get a 2003+ car for the updated front suspension.

Just remember. The Crown Vic, due to its weight, and engine platform, is never going to be fast unless you chuck a few thousand dollars at the engine.

I figured total I'd be throwing $10k at the car as a toy. Including the $4k-$5k for the car itself. Is the motor normally aspirated? Turbos available?

I ask because my dad's car has a lot of work done to it. Twin turbos stuffed in a Chevy Monza. Putting close to 550hp at the crank with only 5lbs of boost and pump gas.

I'm a complete beginner really with cars so like where would I start? Just buy the car, beat the piss out of it until something breaks and learn how to fix it? Take it all apart and learn that way?

I mean because just jumping into swapping out stock parts for aftermarket seems drastic.

As a followup I'm mostly interested in what the cost is going to be like. I don't know what the cost of something like an RX-7 is like in Japan. I've been lead to believe cars like that have a lower value in Japan than they do in the US, but if importation fees and modification costs are going to be more than buying domestic than obviously it's not worth it.

Arguably the worst given it's basically rebadged Hondas (not in the sense that Lexus is a rebadged Toyota, I mean nothing is changed)

>50 mile commute
My shit gets about 24 at 55mph with no wind.
And like 9-10 against wind at 80

>>15057732
<10min commute in the morning, and 15min max in the afternoon if I-95 is backed up and I hit all the red lights taking side roads home.

It is definitely a big factor in me not switching to a slightly better job. Making $100 more a week isn't worth sitting in traffic for 2hrs a day.

I'm willing to put up with a lot of shit at my job if it means I only drive 10-15 minutes to get there/home. Longer commutes (I've done them) make me an angry asshole.

Mt Haruna in the real world, but yes.

Busses are cool mang. Almost as badass as firetrucks.

Having a car requires money

Which in turn requires a job.

You have to be at least 16 to have a job in most of the world.
