>>14849568
There is everything wrong with crossovers.

SUV's can be cool though, just not the ones which are fashion symbols for women.

Crossovers are badass too

You'd probably have better luck going the other way. But even then you'd still probably have to take a ferry from alaska to russia.

You can find those easily for $5k and they won't be in shit condition. No other better option.

Remove EGR valve, check for carbon buildup inside the valve and right where it bolts on to the intake. Also rent/buy a hand vacuum pump and make sure that applying vacuum actually actuates the valve

>>14850438
Thanks, i already cleaned the valve though but the light is still on, ill check where it bolts on, and the vacuum test once i get one.

>>14850458
Also check the vacuum hose from the solenoid for any cracks. Maybe even pop it off entirely, place a finger on one end, apply vacuum to the other to see if it holds.

How can you tell if someone is an oldfag or not?

If I've been here regularly since at least 2009, does that make me old fag?

>>14849886
No you're just a regular fag

Its a frontier.

>interior might rattle if you have to mich shit in the glove box or door pockets
>the arm rest is clearly desighned for woman (small and the top is a cellphone holder with a felt lineing with a hole for a chargeing cable that leads to the larger under compartment with the cigarette lighter)
>blandish interior modern and understated
>first gen pre face lift had cheaper paint and was fugly (2003 fixed this with a better clear coat and new bumper)

>>14848834
All I know is that when a Cat goes bad your gas mileage goes to shit. Or when you blow an O2 sensor, your gas mileage goes to shit and then you burn out your cat.

>>14848834
Feeds your exhaust through a filter that converts the chemicals in it to less harmful ones without getting used up.

It also throttles your exhaust like a motherfucker and if you actually have them intact on a performance car you're a faggot.

>>14848855
I know high flow cat or decatting helps make turbo cars produce more power, but does it also do the same for NA?

Is it a solid performance gain?

New Challengers (not car, a player in a game) tend to show up out of nowhere when automotive shenanigans are afoot.

>Ever be cruising down the highway and have a race break out?

almost every single day
i live near a private country club race track in the north georgia mountains so i see all sorts of interesting cars all over the place and they are almost always looking for a race

>>14847856

That's so cool! I've been happy lately just to see people taking the mountains roads extra fast. I have a nice 6 mile stretch that is mostly 15-25mph turns through the woods. It's great fun when it's clear. Get a lot of kids hitting it hard now that it's nice out.

This is the interior of a Subaru Outback. Almost identical. I know where I'm NOT buying a car from

>>14847252
Print out the photo, go in, and demand to buy that exact car for the listed price.

>>14847280
I think the car in the picture is worth less than the car costs... So I would probably be losing money. Good thought though

>>14847099

I'd say keep trying to get more money.

rwd autists are so annoying I swear none of you are over 12

>>14847982
Less trunk space, muh safety, fwd is cheaper to produce.

99% of people are normies and they don't even know what drive their car is, buy automatic, and if they care about drive they'll buy into awd because they assume it'd automatically safer.

There a hundred reasons to do it the way they are, and if you promised them that everyone on /o/ would buy a rwd 2017 Civic it still wouldn't be .000001 of their market.

Besides, you'd buy a used one anyway.

Cars in general are shrinking market. Everyone wants to sit in the high chair, have a big hatch, and 4WD their way to the mall.

Most normal people don't ever push their cars hard enough to notice the difference between front and rear wheel drive, but give them a crossover with AWD and Sync5 and they're all over it.

Sorry, but we're in the tiny minority.
