Hello

>>14807880
Was going to go camping. But then realized there was autox and I need to take the miata to try to sell it.

>>14807880
Well well! I need to mount my 350 chevy and th350 cross member into my rat rod frame this weekend. That, and clean the garage again, oh boy.

Funds going towards a project, or just getting rid of it to make space?


>pic
35 years and 204,000 miles of grease and dirt caked on, cross member had over half an inch of shit caked onto it, glad to finally start cleaning up this thing.

Best first porsche for anything would be a 356/912
914's arent bad
944's are actually not a bad first car, unless you dont do the work yourself, in which case you cant afford any porsche.

914s are pretty rough to drive, if you've driven a Beetle or VW bus it's not far off. The shifting is possibly the worst of any sports car, feels like an oar in a barrel of jello. I would look into a Karmann Ghia over a 914 just because they are a lot cheaper and drive about the same.

>>14807042
As a first car, the 912s and 356s are unobtainable. As a first Porsche, they are great choices. Although really an air cooled 911 is the usual recommendation.

Did you get lost looking for /b/ or something

>>14806794
Im just sick of miata owners on this board. 90% of you are always trashing better cars like the mustang

Nice b8 though.

>The only red flag is
It's a $6500 shitbox
You can buy a stock civic and do the same mods for a fraction of $6500

>>14806549
First off the it's no mileage listed
Second he just in general posted very limited info
>b16 s4c(?) lsd ctr jibba jabba 210whp
The fuck man? What is done to it? What mods does it have, the nigga that posted this is an idiot and because he didn't have enough info in the listing no one would trust it, and 6500 is a bit much for what's most likely a bucket

6,500 is a lot for a civic. If 6,500 is your tops for a price range, and it's your only car, chances are you should look for something with better odds of being reliable as well.

Not saying civics are unreliable, just the odds of shit going wrong on a 95 is drastically higher then like a 07-09 car with 7X,XXX miles on it.

Probably Nissan, they corner the market on garbage new econoboxes that people with no credit or job buy, and the used owners aren't much better off

>>14806447
BMW, merc and ford

>>14806469
Nah, thats Kia.
Try finding a middle class white person with good credit driving a Kia. You won't.

>>14806169
I hope not

They exist
There is the Golf
Honda is coming out with a Civic Hatchback and i think the SI will be either the Sedan and hatch or the hatch and coupe
There are tons of euro hatchbacks that the US never gets
Ford has 4 door hatches

>>14806169
2 hidden half-doors would be a good compromise

>push-to-start

Right, elitists like us only shift directly even though it takes 5x as long or more. We like to imagine we can heel toe like mario andretti even though we can't even shift from 1st to 2nd without slipping the clutch

>tried out the paddles on my dads BMW Z4
>feels like complete and udder shit
>can switch gears faster with a stock Mitsu 5-speed with only a months experience of driving manual

Why do non-DCT semi-autos exist exactly?

>>14806101
It's a mediocre shitbox. The novelty will wear off and you'll hate it.

join the subcompact cult, bro.

but seriously i havent messed with one of these but the TRD badge in the grill has me interested.

that is GM tho

basically the same thing...
cons: gas mileage is meh (maybe just me)
trans is notchy
clutch is tricky
engines tend to burn a bit of oil (not all)
idk about the throttle, maybe your just not used to it
visibility is going to bad because racecar (you will get used to it)

>>14805938
Toyota and Mazda are the only good ones.
Mitsubishi needs to die in American. So does Nissan. They both make trash and just need to stop.
Subaru needs to stop with stupid flat engines.
Honda is meh.

>>14805938
Those are not major

They are the only 8 jap manufacturers

>>14806036
and to be cool and add to that


Renaussan should kill itself

Honda can keep doing what they're doing iDGAF

Mitsu needs to make a supercar or something

Subaru died and the WRX is no longer a WRX but an ugly shitbox

Toyota and Mazda are doing decent but I hope they don't fall for the hybrid meme.

tfw half of all lexus cars are already hybrid

just postin some shit

Just bought new tires for my mom's car and gonna change her brake pads tomorrow.

Need to take it to get an alignment too

>>14805603

I have watched people drop trailers that weren't totally hooked up in our yard so many damn times. Always takes a couple forklifts to pick the front of the trailer up and then they have to back the tractor under it again. It's loud as hell when a loaded trailer hits the ground.

One of our drivers left a bay open maybe a year ago and a whole pallet of 12 packs went flying out of the truck when he made a turn. Busted soda all over the intersection.

Last weekend I witnessed a trailer with a giant speed boat being towed by a pickup truck lose its two right wheels while making a turn. Dude dragged the trailer and boat for a few feet and finally stopped and was blocking 3 lanes of traffic. Drove past a couple hours later and he dug some nice grooves into the asphalt.

And this one might be my favorite
>years ago, driving muh Explorer.
>at red light, shitty old pickup in front of me and new Benz in back
>light turns green and as shitty pickup takes off, the spare tire falls out from under the bed and lands on the ground
>I just straddle it because Explorer and drive right over, and of course new Mercedes is tailgating me
>Mercedes hits the thing dead center at like 30mph and pickup's spare tire gets jammed under his front bumper to the point where it probably fucked his radiator too
>proceeds to push it another 100ft before finally pulling over
That was fun.

>>14805381
I drop loads all the time.
