Well /o/ I bought a new car. Infiniti q50 with the new VR30DDTT engine. Not baller enough for the red sport 400, but still pretty slick to me. Got is used for $31k with only 526 miles on it. What are your thoughts on these? Also, new cars general, show me what you got and are proud of /o/!
Looks great pal.
3.0T with the premium package? The premium rims in the states are much nicer than up here.

I bought a honda civic sedan touring for my daily. It's really practical and I'm really happy with it. How much was the Q50?
>>17731488
Yeah, the only things I didn't get are the two upgrade packages with heated seats and staring wheels and the atrocious electric steering with adaptive cruise control and cameras everywhere.
>>17731508
$31,000. How long is your commute? I have a 5 minute commute so I'm still abusing my 1996 chevrolet cavalier for how short it is rather than fuck my new car up in a massive factory parking lot.
What does /o/ think of the Tango?

Are cheap eBay cold air intakes worth it? Most people say as long as you get a good filter it will be fine.
>>17731216
act like a wasteman das not me
What about K&N ones?
>>17731230
I did a snorkus delete on my WRX so now the ram air intake isn't on. Is it still not worth it? I have no problem wasting 45 bucks for my engine bay to look cooler either.

They're great until one of the many complex parts fails. It takes an adept understanding of them to properly diagnose shit.
How come GM has never ever beaten Ford at Lemans?
WOOHOO A BAIT THREAD
the question should be
>why is ford so dominant in lemans
well because they took a daytona prototype, stripped it down, reskinned it, and put it on the track
>same motor
>carbon fiber chassis
>pushrod suspension
meanwhile the corvette has none of that. it has a production(ish) motor, aluminum chassis, and a...well let's be honest the suspension isn't very modern
>>17730991
How come Ford (or GM) has never ever made a reliable truck yet?
Really makes you think edition.

Hello big boys,
I have finally attained my dream car, 1989 Ford Escort 1.6 (Made and bought in Spain)
Relatively low mileage, no serious issues except for ONE:
When I start the car, I have to crank it for three-ish seconds before it catches, and have to have slight pressure on the accelerator for it to catch... after it starts it dies if I take my foot off the gas, so i have to manually rev it around 2K for 30 seconds.... after which it rough idles at around 600 RPM, so I drive around for a while and then it goes normal and idles at 1000.
What could be the cause of this? Am a poor student and need to prepare myself for the expense of fixing it - also Spanish people are lazy so all garages are closed this week.
>>17730159
Suck squeeze bang blow. The starting issue could be fuel pump or filter. The rough idle until warm could be cuts in the insulation of the spark plug wires. I had that happen on my Saturn. The wire was nicked and shorting through a small cut on the insulation but when it got warm the rubber expanded to make a better seal.

Why does Maserati still exist? They're the Mitsubishi of premium cars and don't really have anything going for them.
I think they're pretty
You could make a similar argument for every car brand. All that matters is sales
>>17730132
Just fucking look at them, for one.
Especially the GranTurismo is drop dead gorgeous.

I bought a lemon.
I brought my friend who between him and I know a good amount about cars to the craigslist meet and it at first impressions looked fine, but I just got the report back from the mechanic and everythings fucked. Suspension, transmission, brakes, timing, oil leaks, the whole 9 yards. The seller wasn't trying to fuck me over because we went over to his house to get the title and whatnot so he knows I know where he lives.
What should I do? Im thinking of putting it back on CL with 200+ more than I actually got it and feign ignorance.
Pic related, the car i got, but not the same one.
make it a project
if you just scam another person you are THE biggest douche canoe in history
>>17729858
>him and I know a good amount about cars
>everythings fucked. Suspension, transmission, brakes, timing, oil leaks,
how did you miss all of this?
trade it in or sell it as-is. with your luck, if you feign ignorance, you will get into more trouble
>>17729897
feign ignorance isnt the right way to say it, ill say that the brakes and suspension need work and I just bought it and cant afford the repairs. I dont want to lose any more than 200 bucks on it
Just a reminder that this triggers the 12 year olds
