As a random guy who tows cars for a living. I do tow a fuck load of pontiacs. Mostly grand am or grad prix. Maybe she is just uninformed that if you take car of a car doesn't matter the brand it will usually last.

But don't yell at your mom that's just mean.

Sounds like a bit of pride for your ride. I understand that, you maintain and baby the car and then someone tells you it can't do something your sure it can do.

>even MAKE it to Chicago?!?!
>>might have to drive to Dallas for work, a whopping 5 hour drive
>>mom: OMG don't drive your car you probably won't make it
>>actually have to drive to Atlanta for work, they're getting me a rental
>>mom: oh thank GOD you get
If you said don't ever talk about my car again Jesus fuck you're beyond autistic.

>VW
It'll blow up one day or 10 miles outside the warranty period.

>>14974368
Mostly because it's still $40k for a Golf, much like the Focus RS is still $40k for a Focus.

Over engineered piece of German shit

They're cheaper in the us.

>>14974302
Canadians confirmed for retards?

Miata is the most common 2 seater ever made, they're supposed to be fun little shit boxes, for 7500 you could buy a real car that's fun to drive not a slow ass golf cart

Its not a Cadillac
Also FWD

holy fuck, that car looks tall as fuck for a normal sedan.

>>14974219
These, but you should still probably get it. I think they look dope, and we're all anonymous, so there's a chance I could be admiring your car some day.

>>14974053
Almost everything aftermarket is cancer

Usually, yes.

>>14974053
If they're meme headlights, then yes.

>>14973852
only idiots swap cars themselves the trick is to buy one pre swapped and fix all the shit they were too lazy to. to answer your question, no either way you gotta pull the engine and trans if youre gonna do it the right way anyway so might as well do it and not jalf ass it with ls vtec

>>14973852
LSVTEC takes a lot more work than just swapping

>>14973903
People aren't very willing to sell theirs it seems (or maybe they just total them). 1.6 here is usually swapped for 2.0 with VTEC slapped onto it. It's actually cheaper than installing an authentic b18c engine. B18C cars are also fairly rare it's just legions of 1.6s but you can buy one, it's possible to find a good offer if you wait. It's much easier to buy a 2.2 Prelude, those are plentiful and cheaper.

I prefer full size rigs, you get way more for your money. I love Toyotas but for what people want for them around here you could get two full size 4x4s

The total cost of these three is $6,000 and the one in the middle is a cummins

BMW never has, and never will make a bike better than kawasaki. Kawasaki is the king of bikes.

Shut up you geriatric fuck

The fact this is 4chans automotive board says enough about the general quality of the place. Majority of everything here said is nearly word for word taken from youtube channels and automotive blogs then just repeated. Sure we have a few guys that really know what they are talking about but they are overshadowed by the hoard of anons who have no idea what they are talking about yet try REALLY hard to seem like they do.

All in all I come here for memes not actual automotive discussion.

>>14973460
This. Really i don't even know why i visit 4chan anymore. There aren't any good boards left, even /tg/, my homeboard, stopped being good 5 years ago.

>>14973501
/pol/ is good for banter, I'll get a few good laughs every day.
>>14973409
Not having the board spammed multiple nights per week is an improvement. No current shitposter benchracing going on at the moment. It's still shit, but it's better.

Audi. Are you stupid?

Volkswagen. Are you stupid?

Neither. Are you stupid?

Isuzu P'up assuming you're in the US. Somewhere between 1982 and 1988. I never see these anymore. I assume most of them have either rusted out or been exported to the third world. Might be hard to find parts unless you live where they don't salt the roads.

They used to be rebadged as the Chevy Luv until the S10 came out. After that Isuzu started selling them under their own brand. If you're not in the US, well search those models and you'll find it. They had a bunch of different names globally.

If you are in the US the diesel motor should be a 2.2l good for around 58 horsepower.

Came here to post this.

Looks like an early isuzu rodeo

>>14972920
If you want more power than the Miata has do yourself a solid and buy an S2000, boxster, Sky/solstice, corvette, or any other roadster that has more than 90hp...

>>14972931
Even the slowest Miata has 116hp.

>>14972943
yeah at the crank

>VAG

I have the A4 B5, and even if I've taken care of it flawlessly, there's still something going wrong every other week. I love the looks of the thing, how it drives, etc, but jesus fucking christ it's a goddamn money pit.

I'm never getting a VAG again. NEVER.

>>14972880
Good driving car but at this age the suspension is probably shot. It has two piece control arms top and bottom so you have twice as many ball joints that wear and need to be replaced. It's expensive to align because of all the links. 1.8t probably has oil leaks by now, 2.0 is shit. I'd either get the 1.8t, vr6, or 1.9 tdi.

Maybe if its your cousins or sister

Trailer trash girls will like it. Any girl with a shred of class will just question your taste but its not a deal breaker.
