Do what makes you happy and do what you need to do to make it happen

But before you go out and get a low paying job to buy an E30 while you're in school, consider doing internships during your summers. There are no entry level jobs; everyone wants experience. Just some advice from a recent grad with no job

Why does /o/ hate the Genesis Coupé?
In times of hardcore downsizing it's probably the cheapest, decent-looking, used n/a-V6 money can buy, starting at 12k dollaridoos for cars with 30k miles here in Germany.

I think they're okay cars. I really like the Veloster, too.

Leave this thread now, or face the hordes of faggots saying "le penis windows."

What are the most popular cars in your country or state, /o/?

Portugal here, almost every street around Lisbon has either a Citroën C3 and/or a diesel 80s Benzie.

A metric fuckton of Nissan V16 (Sentra B13). We got them from Mexico for almost two decades, and it's by far the most common car in the whole country.

A bunch of taxis are this model. Also, they are the cheapest cars to fix, own and register. It's essentially babby's first car, taxi, JDM as fuck mobile, shitbox and commuter. Owners go from 18 years old to 99.

Instead of solenoids, I want rail guns, so jets of plasma and engine bits fly out the tailpipe.

What's the difference between these?

Is there any reason to get the CX3 when it's less than 2k cheaper?

>Authorities confiscated Donald John McLean's 1972 Ford Falcon/Fairmont XY GT for sustained loss of traction. It sold at auction for more than $60,000. The car was a one of 750 made. There were about 200 left in the world.
>McLean was convicted on a charge of sustained loss of traction in the Dunedin District Court last year.
>He was later sentenced to 70 hours community work and disqualified from driving for a year.
>McLean stopped amongst traffic at a Dunedin intersection, before taking off with the wheels spinning at a red light.
>McLean rejected that, giving evidence saying he did not do a wheelie, a skid or a loss of traction on purpose.
>The car had a button clutch which made it difficult to drive. If his vehicle did lose traction it was due to his vehicle's performance and was unintentional, he told the court.

Tossing up between an e36 and a miats. What get? Pros and cons? About all I can come up with:

E36:
Practical(er)
Power (depending on engine)

Miats:
JDM
Better handling

Helps please.

do you have a DD already?
if not i'd say get the E36
if you do, well i personally don't like the E36 too much so i'd say the MX-5
>>
>>14654561
Wow, talk about being unhelpful!

Not, it would be my DD, but I could always just drive my brothers car if I need practicality, so it's not that big a deal!
>>
The E36 is better in almost every aspect but cost. It will go down to which kind of car you like the most OP, they are very different cars.

Why isn't there a youtube show yet that's basically MightyCarMods + Top Gear Challenges?

Imagine - 3 people have to buy different cheap-ass cars in different categories in each episode, modify them based on limited info about what the road trip/challenges will be, and then proceed to see whose car fares the best. The challenges will generally defeat the purpose of the cars.

Preferably set in USA

Ideas

Shitbox Challenge
>Buy a sub-compact shitbox and prepare it for a dirt rally

Minivan Challenge
>Buy a minivan and prep it for an autocross/track day/twisty roads trip

Truck Challenge
>Buy a truck and rice it out, then take it to ricer/car meetups and be ridiculed

Convertible Challenge
>Buy a convertible and prepare it for a week long camping trip

And so forth.

It would combine the build phase of MCM and the adventure/trips phase of Top Gear.

And I would watch the hell out of it.

pretty sure that motor trend one is like that.

also, what your describing requires a lot of planing, multiple camera rigs, personal to film everything, etc.

top gear does one of these per season, and they have millions to spend.
>>
>>14654303
Because there aren't a lot of people that like cars, and of the few people who do like cars, only a few of them work on their own cars and would be interested in watching other people work on cars.

Anyone had any luck drifting a auto 350z?

>Inb4 should have gotten a manual.

I can kind of do it, but it is feeble. There aren't too many resources on how to drift with auto, even though I've seen people do it well. There are even fewer resources on how to do it with a 350z

Nigga the only way youre going to drift with an auto in that turd is with alot of practice

Pony the fuck up and go learn, theres no how to manual for that

If it has the same transmission as auto g35s you can easily force it in the manumatic mode and force it down gears. hell you could probably do it in just drive, but you suck lol
