So, I got hit by some unregistered cunt while turning left on a green light, and my car is totaled. Bitch insurance is only giving me $2300 (canadian) for it. Pic related, my baby. RIP.
So now I need a new car.
So, what are my options for cars that DON'T require their owner to turn in their testicles in exchange for the keys? No Civics, no hatchbacks, no "family cars", no wagons, NO trucks, and if it's front wheel drive, kill yourself. Manual preferred.
So far the best candidates seem to be an 80s-early 90s Camaro or Firebird, although finding those in running condition in my price range is somewhat difficult. Either that, or I'll get another BMW - I found one just like mine, but the faggot owner welded the diff, rendering the vehicle pointless for driving on the road.
Any ideas, /o/?

BMW unveiled the Concept Z4 on Thursday during the Monterey Car Week festivities in California. The Concept Z4, like the Concept 8 Series before it, gives us a preview of the new BMW Z4, which should debut in the next year or so -- again, just like the 8 Series.
In terms of traditional roadster aesthetics, it's all here. There's a low-slung body, a long hood, room for just two people and a roof that doesn't look like it'll be all that fun to have up. The seats are practically resting atop the rear axle, which makes the car look fast even while sitting still. The headlights sit rather high on the car -- BMW points to the Z8 for inspiration here.
Inside is actually pretty straightforward. It's very car-like, with a collection of physical switches for certain vehicle and infotainment functions. There's a somewhat-standard-looking shifter in place, and an infotainment screen that rises from the dash just as it would in other new Bimmers.
Of course, there are some ridiculous flourishes in there. There's a lap timer built into the bottom of the steering wheel, the gauges look like they're from a different decade, and the seats are two different colors -- and two different materials entirely. It's a very serious car, since it's destined for production, but BMW still had a load of fun putting this together, it appears.
Being a concept, BMW didn't really delve into powertrains. It's believed that when the Z4 comes to production, it will carry both four- and six-cylinder engines, like most of the rest of BMW's lineup. The Z4's underpinnings, which were developed in a joint venture with Toyota, will also live on as the next-generation Toyota Supra.
It's a weird world we're in, where a BMW Z4 can also be a Toyota Supra. But if BMW's concept is any indicator, it doesn't matter who helped develop the car, it's bound to be a stunner
I see them mentioned everywhere. Is it such a great engine? If yes, what makes it so great?
Compact and light for their displacement, iron block versions can be found fucking everywhere for next to nothing, fuckloads of aftermarket support at just about any budget.
The lord bestowed the LS upon us and it was good.
>makes decent power stock
>can fit in almost everything
its popular because people who lack the talent to build an engine and know nothing about cars can have a decently quick car for more than it would cost to just build the original engine
its not even that good of an engine
Should I get an MX-5 RF (2017) as a first car? Thoughts?

Is Heel and toe a meme or should I actually learn to do it on the regular?

It's a meme, you can't do it unless you're a manlet anyway
>>17724716
Practice it anytime you near a traffic light.
To benefit from meme techniques you have to be an autistic Finn that's been rallying since he'd been 5 years old.

I've been learning more and more about Italian cars lately and appreciate them, but probably will never own one. I genuinely feel bad for Maserati.

oops, not sure why i still had that name on.
I need some help getting ideas for a new vehicle. Image unrelated.
I am looking to lease a new vehicle for work (can write off the lease through my business). My first and only other vehicle was an older Ford Explorer, which was good and lasted a long time but I didn't like that it was 2WD.
I don't want a truck and I am 6'3" so tiny vehicles will be hard to fit in comfortably. I want the vehicle to do well in winter conditions (live in Canada, hated 2WD). I need bluetooth, power doors/windows, AC, anything else isn't really necessary.
I want to spend under $35000 (~$28000 USD) and I don't really care about brand. What are some options I should be looking at?
Damn maybe an AWD Escape/Rav4/Subie-something?

>>17740255
You could get a Subaru Impreza, Buick Forester, Mazda CX-3, Cadillac CTS, Merc E350 4matic, or even an Evo if you can find a good one
Europoorfag here. I'm having this car in few days. What do you think? Pls no bully.
Its not the car from the picture, but mine will be from 2000, 1.6 petrol with only 80 000 km (documented) and is nowhere near that rusty as this one.
>>17739901
Oh, its Opel/Vauxhall Astra F for you burgers.
>>17739901
They only made that astra until 1998. Something is wrong here.
>>17739920
perhaps vauxhall produced it for a longer time?
Okay, serious question now.
I'm from europe and I'm amazed how drivers from US are obsessed with huge, powerful engines. Why is that? Why would anybody ever need, for example, 350+ horsepower, v8 engine on public roads?
Inb4 butthurt eurofag with small, weak car. I drive an Audi a4 with modified 1.8t engine - almost 200 hp and I think it's way more than enough.
Tradition.
I prefer something that is fun but also efficient and cheap to maintain.
So between V8s and I4s, I'd rather take a V6.
>Remembers I live in a 3rd world shit hole where NA I4s are the norm and any V6 is too expensive to maintain because there is no aftermarket parts.
REEEEEEE
>>17739201
as I am a european myself I feel the need to distance myself from OPs stupid bullshit.
i still hope it is bait tho.
>>17739201
>Why would anybody ever need, for example, 350+ horsepower, v8 engine on public roads?
To pass up cars like yours.
So I know the usual path for making power with a v8 modur is:
Cam
Heads
Headers
Intake
But what happens if you do it over time?
Like, just headers and intake, and internals later?
Think about what each does. What does your new cam do? what does your head work do? what do headers offer you, etc. If you don't know these answers then you probably shouldn't be thinking about such things.
>>17739192
Well my engine im installing does not have any exhaust, and the blown up engine's exhaust is ruined, so I'm wondering if headers are worth it.
Please take this sandwich as an offer for more answers, guys
