Why not spend the extra money you would on mods (as anything decent AKA turbo is going to be at least a few grand) on something that's already better from the start?

When I first started I was in the habit of looking at my gauges instead of listening to the exhaust. Caused me to not see the person in front of me slam on their brakes and by the time I saw them not even threshold braking was enough to stop me in time. Barely did anything to her car though.

Ok boyos time to decide.
It seems im stuck between those 3 options.

If anyone has owned any of those 3 cars or at least tried them, comment on it. If you are going to shit on whatever car you hate the most for the sake of it or based on baseless meme-opinions, just get the fuck out aspie.

Sister wrecked my car ('07 Mazda 3), but on the bright side, that does means I finally get my own car to myself. Obviously the STi packs a hell of a lot more power under the hood than the RS and is way more fun to drive. The STi is an absolute beast of a car but that accident made my whole family's insurance rates go up. I'm looking for a Subaru/Honda/Acura because of their legendary reliability.

Spray some fish-o-lene up there to stop it getting any worse and don't ever tell anyone about it. Nobody needs to know.

If your state/country has inspections, chip the excess off with a screwdriver, put some masking tape over it and spray paint it silver again. Throw a handfull if dirt at it to make it look aged

hey /o/ so heres the deal, I am poor but I want to go fast. I have about $5,000 saved up so I think my best option would be a sport bike.

I found a 2000 hayabusa with only like 8,000 miles on it for $6,000 with nitrous ( I hope to haggle down the price )

never rode a bike before, I know /o/ says they are dangerous but I am a good driver with a car and have only gotten into a one crashes ( only cause I was drifting around an icy corner ). what safety equipment should I get? I have a snowboarding helmet I can wear but I dont want to buy a leather jacket because they look gay.

I just bought a 2004 Corvette Automatic(I know) and I wanted to get some more power out of it without breaking the bank.

The engine does seem to have a lot of power but the 4 speed automatic is definitely a bottleneck when it comes to having fun with this car.

Any recommendations /o/?

So I'm going to be driving across Canada from NB to BC. Car is a 2005 Jetta, 2.0L gas engine. I've had the oil changed and a new oil filter installed. I'm going to pick up a quart of oil to have in the trunk for emergencies.

Anything I should look out for about driving long distances?
