SRT4
I want a Fiero too but only pre-swapped so the SRT4 is probably worse

>>14670377
SRT4 can shame pretty much any 4-banger import, while the Fiero is bascially a random mix from the GM parts bin. Neon is probably better.

>>14670353
Fiero here too, op.

>>14686356
Stop your whining, it's a very nice car. You don't have to buy it.

>>14688257
The sooner no one buys the current one.

>>14686356
I think it looks OK. They just need to lose the chrome bit up front.

It will be used for light garage work, so airing tires, blowing particulate off of stuff, eventually powering some light duty air impact/wrench/hammer/etc and other stuff like that. Nothing super demanding or needing to be run for minutes at a time with no stopping.

I live in Alaska so Harbor Freight isn't an option unfortunately. If it was I probably would have gotten that one already

Make sure you hold it down for at least 3 seconds

then you did it wrong

I wouldn't do it, though if I had a Mustang coupe, I might trade it in for a convertible.

>>14684736
Don't pawn your ass for an obsolete car with a shitty 90s Japanese interior and A/C. Don't be a retard and think about this objectively.

No, just no. Buy it as a project car if you want, but I wouldn't trade such a new car for it.

Kind of rare, dont see many in comparison to normal M cars and such

B5.5 Passat W8 wagons.

Torque convert + auto transmissions implode.
Cam adjusters fail throwing an interference engine out of time
Major issues with moonroof leaks.
Still a VW.

But man I love that car. 2004 in dark blue on black? Yes please.

Next choice is a 2001 BMW 750iL. Because V12, and comfy as fuck.

You mean the one where he's like but now I own an Acura and everyone loves me?

Perhaps cringe thread?

I'd imagine just using them like curb feelers on an old low rider or something. Don't know how effective they would be compared to actual curb feelers though.

Don't drive like an idiot?

>>14683001

You'd have to use metal zip ties because I doubt you'd hear plastic ones when they scrape.

buy a bolt on toe hitch for 100 bucks and get a uhaul motorcycle trailer for 20 bucks a day.

it's going to take 3 people to put that thing in the back of your ford and soak everything in gas and oil.

>>14682644
Sure, just drain the oil first.
