So I spend about two hours a day driving to and from work, usually in slow moving (stop and go) traffic. I am 28 and I have never driven a manual, but I since I am a virgin and I live with my mom I want to buy a fancy fast car. I want to get it automatic due to traffic, but I think /o/ will make fun of me. Is manual OK for stop and go traffic?

just stick with automatic

Nothing wrong with an automatic DD. If you are buying a performance car though it MUST be a manual.
>been looking to buy a c4 corvette. They are all automatics.
Why?

You'll get sick of it. Manuals are fun when you want driving to be fun. In stop an go it'll be a pain in the ass.

Convince me not to buy one.
My family/week-end/vacation car broke and I (kind of) need a 7 seater.
I hate SUVs and most vans (or can't afford the ones I don't hate).
The problem is that the exact configuration I want is not available on a 200+ miles radius.
My choices are either travel a few hundred miles, convince a dealer to modify an existing car or wait a few months for one to be built to my specifications.
Either way, I have to wait; meaning that I have a lot of time to think it over.

Should I buy it?
Should I search a used one (the 2015 and 2014 models with the configuration I want were quite common)?
Should I consider something else (it has to be under 35.000 out the door)?
Should I just give up the idea of having a 7 seater?

moped is just a bad idea. I have never ridden one but get sick at the thought of it, they look absolutely terrible. Unless you're planning on getting a replica of the one in FLCL, get a small motorcycle. you'll be glad you did.

>>
>>14664717
This. I have a G37 and even among the forum goers/enthusiasts the new Q50 and Q60 are getting a great big "meh". Infiniti doesn't want to be sporty enough to compete with BMW and Merc nor does it want to get more luxurious and raise the price point. So it'll just stay in limbo forever.

Sup /o/, I'm usually over in /k/ so forgive me if I sound like a dumbass, but how exactly do you drive a motorcycle? I'm looking into getting my first vehicle, torn between a truck and a sport bike like pic related. I'm pretty much a poorfag so a cheap bike with like 70MPG sounds way better than a truck with like 18MPG. Only problem is I've never driven a motorcycle, only bikes, ATV, cars, trucks, etc. I also would like to know how any of you bikers transport things, I do a lot of fishing and shooting so other than putting things in a backpack do I have any options?

>>14660906
Get the truck. If you live anywhere near a city, the bike will get you killed. I love bikes, they are fast and efficient, but only because your SOL if you get hit.

I suggest a Toyota Hilux. I know /k/ loves them as well as terrorists. A manual Hilux with a 22R engine is near indestructible and super easy to work on.
>>
>>14660931
I live around the Jupiter/Delray area of Florida, if that helps. I've heard horror stories but is it really that bad if you're an mx rider? And if it is, what's the best poorfag truck for fuel efficiency then?
>>
>>14660940
Yeah it's that bad. I knew several people who were very cautious rider's and just used it for transportation, not racing around or anything, and they still got hit. It's inevitable. If you live in a city, your going to get in an accident at some point or another. Decide now which you want to be holding on for dear life to when it happens, a car, or a motorcycle? Which one will leave you potentially less fucked?

That aside, trucks are not very fuel efficient compared to cars because of their poor aerodynamic efficiency. The giant low pressure zone behind the cabin does't help turbulent flow at all.

Honestly, I would worry more about the cost of repairs. Like I said, a hilux is very simple and cheap to repair. It gets more than 20mpg if you don't drive it like a tard too.

There are more fuel efficient trucks out there, but not by much, and they will probably cost more in the long run when things break.

I would get a hilux now, and a sportbike later for use on a track. That would be the best of both worlds.

My brother disagrees with me wanting to buy this
10 k worth or na?

10k usa? no. even if it is an all trac it isn't worth more than 7.5 at the most.
>>
>>14671826
thats a gt4
>>
>>14671826

>ST205
>"all trac"

Uh, no...

Anyway, OP, it's worth maybe $6-8k if it's a GT-Four, no more than $5k if it's an SS-III (and for $5k it better be fucking mint with like 30,000 kms), and $0 if it's an American model

If it's FWD turbo swapped I wouldn't pay more than $3000 CAD for it (so like $50 american)

/o/ rate my first car

2002 Subaru Forester
Similar to picture

Got it $3.5k with all maintenance done including new head gaskets.
Only problem is the downstream sensor on the cat is out, which doesn't affect anything.

Also, what size rims should I throw on it?

Nice choice. I had a 99 that I loved. Got rid of it when the head gaskets started to go. It was at 190,000 miles, and I didn't want to sink the money into fixing it. In retrospect, I really liked that car. I regret selling it a lot.

FUCK, I saw one of these in person today at the Denver auto show, and hoooollyy shit its ugly in person. Like after looking at some of the pictures and seeing the new 2017 ZL1 pics, I thought it was starting to grow on me, but damn does it look bad in person. It honestly seems like a fucking overgrown Scion TC to me with the design.

I cannot begin to understand why they made the changes they did to it, to me they all look bad. And visibility/cramped-ness inside is somehow even worse than last year.

Yeah, it's infuriating that the car with the worlds greatest price:performance ratio is built like a fucking bunker.
>>
>>14670043
Yea dude, and the SS they had was like $45,000 i think, whereas the Mustang GT was $37,000 iirc. But the SS had magnetic ride and some other shit (idk if the GT does, I thought that was on the GT350). But it still seemed a bit much for an ugly fucking car. I'd be surprised if they keep up the same sales numbers as previous years.

And the GT actually felt roomy for what it was and didn't have windows that LITERALLY came up to my cheek like on the camaro.
>>
Trying to hard to keep with the styling of the past few Camaros while trying to compete with the the styling of the new mustang. Its just not happening.

Don't buy anything that could be even misinterpreted as sporty, it'll be too trashed for you to properly learn in. Buy a super cheap no-fun shitbox to learn in, keep it in decent shape and turn it when you get the real car you want.
