>But I can't help but think that those would become a problem sooner than later.
Every car becomes a problem sooner or later buddy.

I think you should use 6k or 7k for the car and save the rest of your money.
If you're stuck on BMW's, you can get a decent early 2000's 325i or 330i for 4k or 5k
Avoid the v6 mustang, everyone will mock you.

It has less horsepower than the equivalent Nissan Altima V6/Maxima
A good one sells for $20,000 to $40,000 on craigslist.
The backseat is useless, the motor is too heavy, you made a bad thread and for that money you could have bought a Chevy [c6]

its fat
its ugly inside and out
its fanboys are annoying
its overrated
its overpriced


the only good thing is its engine cant think of a single other good thing about it

Still a shitty modern car with bad visibility and shit mpg compared to a v8.

>>14803170
this
just buy a Vette

>What is a concept
Mazda hasn't jumped off the deep-end with visibility yet and we don't know the power/MPG/whatever. That said I'd prefer something that isn't a meme engine

>strats

I went there once with my friend in his Dakota RT. Honestly probably wouldn't do it again, too many fuckboi with their rice rockets for me

Get a stainless steel exhaust.

Really, that's the only permanent solution.

>>14794972
This, or use stove paint on it before you put it on the car.

>>14794956
Rub it down using a sander.

Then apply some Red Oxide primer:

Make sure you've properly sanded it down using 300 grit sandpaper before painting with the red oxide primer.

Once you've done this, you can paint it black, silver or even blue.

Black may look best though.

All of this being said, I'd probably replace it with a stainless steel or titanium-look tip.

chevy volt is a great car what are you talking about? also 2000's brought us the C6 Z06 and ZR1 which were incredible, as well as the cadillac CTS V and XLR-V

They made a few great commodores. Too bad is now dead

>>14793455
wasn't the volt that has massive production problems and recalls/safety issues? or am i thinking of something else

>>14797799
>7 previous owners
I wouldn't.

The price for those miles seems a bit suspect.

Are the removable tops known to have problems with leaking?

>>14797744
This is great bait and all, but there's one big problem:

literally no one cares about the genesis coupe

Just to be clear: why are they behind in every category that isn't warranties?

they're heavier, more complicated, harder to repair, and more expensive.

Why does everything have to be a dick-waving contest? Just drive what you like, for fuck's sake.

For about a second before you spin it into a ditch.

To be fair though most people who own cars like those aren't going to track them as fast as possible (maybe viper drivers are an exception) especially if its expensive (and because some manufacturers use to void your warranty if they caught you tracking your performance car or even using a feature it was design to use *cough launch control cough*) I think Nissan and Porsche do this or use to do it. Ferrari probably still does and i'm not sure about Bimmer.

I live in the United Cuckdom

never bought one...never regretted it...that should answer your question.

I don't have to sell mine, but I do have to put it in storage soon because I had a kid. I dread the thought everyday.

Tesla, Volvo, Mercedes, Audi and others are fielding vehicles that can drive on highways, change lanes and park without human help. But they are easily flummoxed by faded lane markers, damaged or noncompliant signs or lights, and the many quirks of a roadway infrastructure managed by thousands of state and local bureaucracies.

In other developed countries, greater standardization of road signs and markings makes it easier for robot cars to navigate. In the U.S., however, traffic lights can be aligned vertically, horizontally or "dog-house" style in two columns. Pavement markings use paint with different degrees of reflectivity - or don't exist at all.

"If the lane fades, all hell breaks loose," said Christoph Mertz, a research scientist at Carnegie Mellon University. "But cars have to handle these weird circumstances and have three different ways of doing things in case one fails."

MORE SENSORS, MORE COST

To make up for roadway aberrations, carmakers and their suppliers are incorporating multiple sensors, maps and data into their cars, all of which adds cost.

Mercedes says the "drive pilot" system found in its recently unveiled luxury E Class 2017 sedans works even with no lane markings. The system - which incorporates 23 sensors - takes into account guard rails, barriers, and other cars to keep cars in their lanes up to 84 miles (135km) per hour, under "suitable circumstances."

Boston Consulting Group estimates that initial semi-autonomous features add $4,000 to a car's price. It estimated carmakers will have to spend more than $1 billion over the next decade in research investment for even more sophisticated autonomous features.

On a good road in daylight, cameras installed around a car are sufficient to distinguish road lines, traffic lights and signs. But without lane markings, the car needs more technology to judge its position.

Enter radar and lidar, which send out radio waves or light pulses to bounce off objects. The data sent back informs the car about objects, their distance and velocity. Triangulating between trees to the right, boulders to the left, and other vehicles ahead, for instance, can give the car its bearings.

A host of companies - including Silicon Valley firms Quanergy and Velodyne and international suppliers like Paris-based Valeo - are vying to reduce the cost and size of lidar from the bulky, $75,000 Velodyne version first seen on the roof of Google's self-driving car.

In January, Quanergy unveiled a small $250 Lidar with no moving parts. Automakers want the price to drop below $100 for production vehicles, which Quanergy promises to do by 2018.

Sub-par roads are fueling efforts by companies such as Germany's HERE and Dutch company TomTom to create three dimensional maps that can provide the car's location on the road within centimeters, said Chris Warrington, CEO of mapping technology company GeoDigital.

Automakers are looking to pay $50-$60 per car for such maps, which may be well below the actual price, said Warrington.

"We know they're coming, but they don't exist yet. That's why lane markings are so important now," said Gary O'Brien, director of advanced engineering for automotive supplier Delphi Automotive Systems PLC.
O'Brien snaps photos of bad roads when he travels.

"Look at this, there are no lane markings at all!" O'Brien said, showing a picture he took on a desert road in Bluff, Utah where the demarcation between the road and ground is barely visible.

At the very least the tuner will get ride of your CEL from the offroad x-pipe and will make more power from it.

Also, H-pipe>>>>>>>X-pipe sound wise.

short ram intakes are a fucking meme

the only people use them is for when there's literally no space for the air box and factory induction system to fit, eg front mount intercooler and turbo or two in the engine bay top mounted taking up space

>>14796642
Meh, I thought the same thing but x pipes with a great muffler with a small resonater like the outlaws makes a killer combo man.


plus the extra power from x pipes
