Most reviews of Jeeps is that they're shit. Never owned one is this true?

To be fair, in 2006 and 2007 they made an SS version with a 5.3 L V8... but it only came in automatic and FWD.

Frequent underbody cleaning and coating.

You're better off not garaging it actually. If you get a bunch of salty ice and shit all over your car and then put it in a garage it will all melt and seep into every orifice of your car. Leave the car outside and it will hopefully stay frozen. This is only something ive heard before, who knows if it really makes a difference.

Honestly there isn't much you can do. You could get the whole car undercoated but that cant really protect everything, nothing can. If you drive your car through winter on salty roads it will get rusty.

Sounds like broscience, you'd be better off just fucking cleaning it.

Thank you. I think I'm gonna just start tearing shit down. Well, first I'm gonna lap the valves on the new heads, then I'm gonna take the intake off the motor and try to tackle all the issues at the same time (misfire, coolant leak, wanting to upgrade to HO heads/cam/intake etc)

why don't you have a greasy-ass-beater whore to play in /ccg/?

i cant afford a ND

>>17734279

Theirs always the NA and NB, tons of good mods for it to. Avoid the NC to heavy

They're just so fucking expensive in Canada
Want one with an LSD? Get ready so drop over $40k on one

It becomes incredibly hard to justify at that price, especially when you live near Toronto and there are plenty of higher end CPO cars available with a warranty and financing

Hopefully the 124 Spyder will tank in value hard like other Fiats, that seems to be the best way to get your hands on an ND

>>17734190
Anything BMW, especially from the e46 era as a whole. They are the Subarus of Eastern Europe.

>>17734190
Faggot OP, letting other losers ruin a good car for you, a damn shame

none, because i'm not a faggot who cares if a loser in a ecoboost mustang thinks my car is shit

>>17733720
They're good cars. They have the best drivetrain of the big 3 cars. The weakest point is the crappy power steering, but its easily remedied.

Get good tires and shocks and you can hang with most new cars. Whatever engine you have just get some modern heads for it and you'll be looking pretty good.

>>17733735
Excellent. Would this thing look dumb with a blower?

>>17733744
that's up to you. personally I'd use a centrifugal supercharger like a paxton or procharger. roots style ones that stick through the hood heat the intake air a lot. they are better used for drag racing imo.

also here's a good guide for chassis reinforcement and modification

CRX with a civic shuttle roof so it's a crx wagon.

R32 GTR with micra headlights and grille.

ALWAYS GET TOYOTA, PERIOD!

Tundra is a great half ton pickup truck with a bullet proof engine that would last you 1 million miles if you take great care of it. However, with the new domestics (Ford, GM Twins, RAM) they probably won't last no more than 250k miles even if you service them.

If you need something smaller or somewhat good on gas, get the Taco. Can kick a Chevy Recallarado's ass all day every day in reliability. (plus the Colorado is a woman's truck, you'd look like a fag driving around in one)

>>17732646
I'm in a similar predicament, anon.

I really want a ((current gen)) Taco, or a previous gen Silverado. I do a fair amount of trail riding, but nothing too crazy (no crawling or anything like that, I just like taking the trails).

Silverado is a comfortable ride, though the newest are just too big for my needs. I feel like I can get a 2013-14 Silverado with all the bells and whistles for close to 25k. If I were to go the Taco route it would be a TRD OR or Pro. That crawl control seems pretty sweet, and now they can be had with a sunroof.

I don't know what I'll do.

They are going to fuck it up anyways nigger, either by removing interior panels, or stealing your steering wheel or shift knob (which is way easier than it seems).

If you leave car locked:
>someone MIGHT smash your window to get in
If you leave car unlocked:
>Car gets stolen
>Stereo/components get stolen
>Welfare-dweller shits/pisses in car as a joke
>Homeless person claims it as a shelter
>Windows get smashed anyway

Not to mention the unlocked ones would happen more often as basketball enthusiasts literally walk around parking lots looking for unlocked cars. So would you rather pay for a new window maybe once every 3 years or pay for a new interior and glass anyway, or possibly have to buy a new car? Best advice I can give is get a "smile you're on camera" sticker on your window to scare off the creatures of the night.

>>17732610
Just get a shitty car that looks like it'd be waste of time to break into.

>>17732532
Nothing it's perfect.

>>17732546
Yeah me too. I think the whole construction apart from all the shit people say, I think overall it was a perfect car. It was purely built to race and that's it.

Replace ecoshit with a modern aluminum block 427 cammer. Supercharger or twin turbo as options. Manual only. Redesign the back a little.

That is a pony car.

>>17732209
You picked the heaviest and ugliest one m8 69-70 and 03-04

>>17732222
Isn't that derived from a muscle car?

>>17732223
But you could tell it meant serious business.

The other major contributor to this dysfunction is that most people don’t have the opportunity to drive that many cars. At 40 years old, I’ve owned eight cars, but most of them have been of the similar types (2 Rabbits, 3 GTIs, 1 MR2, and 2 BMWs). I’ve learned a lot in the course of owning these cars, and my beliefs today are 180° from the beliefs I held in my twenties. I cannot, however, blame my twenty-something self for holding those beliefs, because I didn’t have the experience required to form more nuanced feelings.

So, my message to you, young enthusiast, is this: Drive as many cars as you possibly can. Save your money and get yourself to a racing school. Learn what it feels like to balance a car on the edge of grip. Armed with that knowledge, seek out an automobile that rewards your senses, not your ego.

>>17732025
Stop being a fag and post more automatic vs manual, m3 vs mustang, corvette vs gtr

>>17732028
But grandpa, how does a not poverty tier, but still very budget minded enthusiast experience driving many different types of cars on the (relatively) cheap?

100% a Taurus 100% driven by niggers from looking at the angle of those seats.
