Nice. Was that downhill? I did about 195kmh on a flat road. Stock 1.6 8v

I've only gone a max of 105mph / 169km in my old 2001 Corolla (RIP)

I was gonna do this, but from what I heard no matter what you do, it will look like shit after a month and you will have to reapply. there's only one company out there that makes this custom adhesive sticker thing to put on your wheels (ammo nyc did a video on it) but it's like 100$ a tire and that's just a colossal waste of money to throw onto tires that will eventually be trashed anyways.

like $25 a tire unless you need more letters. Only see white though

Did this for shits and giggles. A buddy of mine had a bunch of left over black plasti dip and white tire paint marker. I took it off after about a week or so

The Fisker Karma is noticably unfinished though. Glaring design and manufacturing faults in detail. Literally a concept car brought into production. Small interior space, questionable build quality, the petrol engine exhaust is placed right behind the front left wheel so you're getting gassed by your own car as you stand at a red light with the window down.

>>14718235
Yeah it's fucking beautiful but notoriously unreliable and legit catches fire

Do the clicks match the revs?

>>14718040
Not exactly. It clicks faster up until it's going maybe 5 or 10 mph then it stops.

>>14718049
It could be lifter tick

because God

Never change, /o/

why did your mom fuck your dad? she probably doesn't even know

>>14716725

About as heavy as a V6 Mustang. Do not attempt to push this

>>14716725
they look nice but low power for the price tag

absolute falsehood

because of people like you

>>14716108
Poor people that can't deal with other people's opinions

>>14716139
Its not 'other peoples opinions'. It's 'why will x car (thats not even out yet) destroy the Germans/the Italians/the Europeans' thats not sharing opinions.

If it's a DD and you care about being comfy, then this should stop you.
I drove an old Elise a few times and, while they are indeed extremely fun, they are an absolute pain when you are not in the mood to carve turns like there is no tomorrow.
Every imperfection on the road goes directly to your back, it's not bad if you drive it once in a while and drive it just for the pleasure, but if you need to commute with it then it will make your mornings miserable in no time.

So, if it's a weekend car, then by all means go for it, but if it's a daily drive, then you might want to think twice about it.

>>14715968
Thanks for honest opinion anon, of course i would not DD this because of various obvious reasons

>>14715980
Well, then there is nothing stopping you, go for it!

What generation would you own?
XD? XE? XF?
How about Utes?

Get something with a carb'd v8 or dont bother imo
the xd/xe were available with a 302 or 351 cleveland
there is aftermarket but it isnt very large, and performance orientated parts arent exactly cheap. youll be out of pocket quite a bit having to import shit to america
yes, young guys have been beating the shit out of these cars for the last 20+ years
mustang parts... i dont know
manual is preferable over automatic but the c4 is still a stout transmission

>what breaks
anything that would break in a relatively 'bare bones' car of that vintage. easy to repair though.

Personally i wouldnt have anything newer than an XC falcon, though that does depend on what you plan on doing with the car, XD's look really nice if you give them some love and they handle great as well.

That one doesn't have a v8

>>14714876
Well exactly.. That's why I singled out the SVO as opposed to other models, er, trim, same thing in this case I suppose.

>>14715316
Why would you go for anything less than a v8?

After some Googling it looks like they're pretty much both very good. I've been using Garmin for years and I like them, but I've never tried a TomTom.

>>14714703

Have a basic bitch TomTom I bought like 7 years ago.

Still works fine. Came with free map upgrades for life so I keep it.

I have an old tomtom XL, I don't even know how old it is because I was in small compartment at the trunk of an used SUV I bought.

It worked well for my trip to mexico, except the maps where a bit outdated because I didn't have a chance update them before I left.

>>14714496
Keep it clean

>>14714496
you come across as a nig

Meh. I mean like i guess but not that much. If you want to look upper class then id get any newer luxury japanese car

>>14714046
yes

all planned maintenance

>>14714046
Yes.

Don't buy anything from Becky. She's a cunt.

They budget their income to include a car they want. It's not that hard.

They usually spend more on the car than they do other things. I actually used to know a guy who had a mid-00s BMW of some kind, and he just lived out of it.

Others will get some cut-rate used one and then neglect it until it dies, all the while wondering why it's making this horrible grinding noise after never changing their oil once.

a lot of people live beyond there means

or know how to budget for what they want

also sacrifices..

i live in a dirt apartment so i can have multiple vehicles, a cottage and a boat

And its not a PAL fuse or what ever bs it's called as that is too small to fit

>not even the manufacter can help
Welp anon you are fucked. That car isnt common enough that you can find pieces anywhere. Have you searched yet? Start by looking for other karma owners see who can help. Its a shame that thats what you get for risking on being an early adopter.
