the dealer is being a dumbass you dumbass

but some dumbass dumber than your ass will buy that rs you dumbass

I feel like when a brand has something they know will be successful but doesn't want it to be they mark up the prices to make it fail and go, "well we tried, back to focusing on mustangs!"

>>14905198
yeah that's way too much. I would pay near the same amount I paid for my sti maybe a grand higher, but that's it.

Some people just like how comfortable a truck is.
I know a few people who are too tall to drive anything else.
I would agree, a eco shitbox would be a better option.

Of course the car takes care to remind you that it's 10 years old like the however old 1 you worked on before. A few bolts hinder progress but the savior WD-40 comes to your rescue, even then this might take a little longer than expected. There's still no reason you won't have it done in time unless you run into a brick wall.

1 snack break, a few swears, a knuckle busting here and there, and most of the afternoon gives your Volvo 2 working headlights, 2 working turn signals, 1 red, but not banged up fender, and a straight bumper with all the little trim pieces in place. Here's to hoping Tony's wife is a function over form kind of woman and the mismatched colors don't throw her off.

A quick check inside the house tells you that you still have a little over 30 minutes before 6:30 rolls around. Going by the directions he gave you it's going to take around 15 minutes to get to his place. The problem now is you have to 2 cars that are involved in this and only 1 driver.


A) See if Ronnie can get off from work a little earlier so he can drive 1 of the cars.
B) Take the J, you already got mounts to help put the Pontiac engine in.
C) Take the Volvo, you can always come back after you trade if you do.

>>14852678
A, C if not. Call Carpenter and see if he can arrange a tow truck:

i just let my cat go anywhere.

>>14903167
I let my cat outside during the day and crack my garage door open about a foot, and let him inside the garage and close it at night. Makes sure no one flattens the fella and coyotes cant get him

7mgte with properly torqued metal gasket, running about 320 to the wheels right now on stock

I hope it doesn't explode soon ;_;

>>14901147
Extremely. Multijets are probably the most reliable diesel engines in the market.

stock smog 360 LA engine

pretty bulletproof I'd say

Where all the fuel economy at?

Inb4 someone posts some ridiculously large displacement V8 with laughable power figures.

High speed performance depends on appearance to some degree or jet planes wouldn't all look the same. That said, I'd rather drive an Opel Corsa B with a V12 than a Porsche with a threebanger.

appearance only matters if it's something VERY unappealing to me like a multipla or PR cruiser
fun to drive quickly > power statistics > appearance

looks

I grew out of muh performance when I was 17 or 18 its a really childish thing

All I can say is I dumped my Audi S5 after finally getting fed up with the maintenance. Fun car when it worked though...

83 mph

Literally 55mph

Recorded 150mph but maybe faster in another car.

I drive a 2005 lwb np gls.
It has the super select transfer case. You can choose between rear wheel drive, 33/67 split 4wd, 4wd locked centre diff, 4wd low locked centre diff.
It has a built in ladder frame which mitsubishi claims to increase resistance to flexing and torsion. This is also the reason why the pajero is so light and has a really low centre of gravity compared to it's body on frame competition. Additional bonus of increased safety.
It has full independent suspension which is pretty shit for rock climbing, but increases both on road and off road handling dramatically.
Engines: 6g72, 6g74(shit), 6g75, 4m40, 4m41. 6g72 - good for shit tier countries with shit tier fuel, extremely reliable bulletproof workhorse.
6g75 - 3.8l mivec. Lots of horsepower lots of torque.
4m40 - 2.8l diesel.
4m41 - one of the best diesel engines out there. Lots of low end torque and decent horsepower. Has a little princess high pressure fuel pump so needs good diesel.

I don't know much about them but I found a fuckin Pajero Evo the other day

>>14880034
there is a real one in the Richmond district of SF

>>14902389
costs too much when optioned to be a proper off roader

might as well get a Wrangler

>>14902389
>FCA
It has a tendency to be rather.. unreliable.

>>14902399
But the Wrangler still costs substantially more.

Plus having a compact car is nice for my condo.

Depends on your state. Perfectly legal in az with DOT rated eye protection

speedster?

That is sex
