You must be new here.

The 90's TJ is the only acceptable one.

Butthurt answer: any car faster or more expensive than mine
Actually backed up by empirical evidence: newer BMWs, Civics, Imprezas, Ferraris in general, 350z/G35 and V6 muscle cars, hot hatches in general.

It'd be a lot better if all the cars were RWD.

At least they're comfy.

Why do people get a motorcycle when you can get a model rocket that goes 450mph in 2 seconds for $20

poorfags need a car and cannot afford car and bike.

It is the people spending 25-40k on a sporty car that are wrong. They should have a nice sport bike and a cheap hatchback.

>>14251308
you can't ride a model rocket while even a 250cc dirt bike will give a greater sensation of speed than any car short of a supercar

The fun I have when driving it, working on it, looking at it, thinking about it.

A huge variety of different things, some quantifiable and some not. Broadly, though, any or all of

If it does what you want it to do, and not what you don't want it to do.

I'll be fine. Just need to get some solar panels or find a strong stream for hydro. Then I can safely hide out growing beans and rice. While my car charges. Never have to fight people for Guzzoline.

Assuming the only thing you're going to be needing anytime soon are the tools you grab those and leave the Packard sitting off to the side of the dirt road and make your way to the Olds. She doesn't say anything as she threads the needle to back up until she can get turned around.

If she really didn't want to give you a ride she should've just said so, you could probably be having fun in that VW right now. Why did you even think she'd like you back? Now the whole atmosphere feels awkward after having been relatively good all night.

She comes to a stop at the road, looking at you and awaiting for you to tell her where to go.

A) A motel
B) Home
C) Al's, there should be another "party" going on
D) Like she'd ever do it now, her place.
E) Lassiter's are nice, maybe they won't mind you staying for a night.
F) Ronnie's? Could get the roasting out of the way.
G) Could you just drive around for a while?

Obviously, you'd like to try to make things better with Erika or maybe call it quits now.

W) Is there even a chance anything could happen between you?
X) Sit there in silence, no risk of making anything worse.
Y) You'll hitch a ride, get out.
Z) Get off the topic entirely, ask if she's interested in car shopping tomorrow.

It's a Civic.

It's hard to fuck up a Civic.

1991 Honda Prelude SR, bought for $1000 with 320k kms, ridiculously faded paint, straight pipes, 4 different bald tires.
Was a fwd godmachine, and pulled all the bitches
Jk was a good first car, lots of fun, good on gas and fairly reliable. Bought new battery, rebuilt the alternator, bought new tires for it, panel windows. Lasted until i crashed it like 8 months later and ended up getting like $2700. Every vehicle ive owned since then hasnt needed any work so thats the only auto work exp. ive had and looking back was alot of fun.

oh and changed brake pads

Ford Puma 1.4. Quite liked it at the time, chiefly because it at least looked like it wasn't the kind of generic shitbox most 17yo Brits get stuck with, and because of that one video on Youtube where Tiff Neddell demonstrates "fwd drifting in one".

It was pretty slow, though - even realised that at the time - and in hindsight I didn't really push it hard enough to be able to comment on the handling, even if it felt like I was doing back then.

Still have some great memories of it, regardless.

It's going to be kind of hit or miss, a 2007 for 2 grand means it might not be in fantastic condition, but crown vics are pretty simple. Also everybody on the road is going to hate you unless you paint it neon green or some shit and take the pushbar and spotlight off.

No its just like any other car. If your state does inspections the horn and other things might not work and that'll be a problem (matter of cut wires or pulled out by police department) if your state has E85 and you want to run e85, look for a 2008 or newer. I have a 2007 also.

>are there any special rules and regulations for a retired police car?

yes you have to register it as a deadly weapon and submit to a background check. prepare to be on every illuminati database, and pack your bags for the FEMA camp.

Well, my gf's mom instantly discredited anything I'll ever say about cars again because she thinks solenoid is pronounced "sill-en-oid"

She was having transmission issues and I was trying to explain a solenoid issue and she kept interrupting me with

>it's actually pronounced sillenoid my ex was a mechanic for 350923850398 years

I ignored it and kept explaining and said it the right way two more times in my explanation and she cut me off and said

>forget it, we'll just take it to someone who knows what they're talking about

That fucking feel

Thats glorious, what is it?

I'd rather have the one on the right because it's not a fucking buick

No, because it's an econobox.

Yep. Decent power, decent mileage, comfortable seats, decent stereo, great heater, parts are cheap. Just what you need in a work beater.
