For some reason I'm blessed with a mother who understands stuff like this. She has no knowledge or interest in it, but if I explain something I'm doing to her car, my own or similar then she actually does get the idea of how things work

I know that feel bro.

I know a Polish guy up in Canada that does this, though he's shady about it. He buys wrecked cars for really cheap, fixes them, then passes them off as clean. He makes pretty good money but is scummy

I don't know shit about motorsports aside from Nascar and F1, what other series are worth watching?

MotoGP, WRC, Indy, Formula e, and GP2 are all good fun. Indy can be a bit long winded at times but if you watch NASCAR that shouldn't be a problem.

We need a motorsport where people drive upside down on a track. If you slow down too much you literally fall off.
It would be amazing to watch

>Same platform, share coupe, sedan Caddy exclusive
>Share I4T, V6

> 8-speed auto, 6-speed manual options for both
>Caddy is 60k top trim
>Chevy is 45k top trim
>Almost identical power output, but one is big-displacement NA V8, other side twin-turbo V6
>Camaro is more sporty and mod-receptive, saves extra money for more go fast parts
>Caddy is optioned out, luxury cruiser, but 15k more
So if you had all that monies, and had to choose between the two, what do /o/?
I realize a C7 or 350R might be faster around the track, but fuck off with your derailing.

If I am honest I'd probably swing for the ATS-V
Just god damn GM knocked that car out of the park, plus comes standard with two turbos.
Plus you can get 550 RWHP with just a tune and downpipe which is pretty fucking nuts

It's beautiful and helps make oodles of power. what's not to love?

OS Giken heads are like 100,000 dollaroos. Nice to think about and infinitely more modern-looking than the SOHC head, but I'm pretty resigned to never having one.

Thinking of getting one of these for the following reasons:
>pick up shit for the house that's too large for the car
>take the dogs into the woods
>take mountain biking
>take camping twice a year
>hauling the motorcycles when needed
>just drive when I'm not in the mood to drive the bikes or cars
What should I know about these donkeys? The only thing I'm really familiar with is the shitty plastic goes bad. I hear they are pretty damn reliable and I can get them for cheap. Anyone here own/owned one? If no one is familiar I go browse the shitty Chevy forums.

Cheap as fuck used car over new car.
>>
>>14211217
>because you don't have the cash on hand to buy a good used one
>don't have the time to save for years to buy cash
>want a warranty
>want a hassle free car (that even if there is a problem you get a free rental)
>you get your car paid for by work (when I was in the corporate world they paid for the car, but there was a year restriction)
>you don't visit /o/
>>
A new car is a good choice if you want to keep it for a long time. You'll know every facet of its history.
What does o think of the Integral Kobe ND5RC?

Was in a friends Subaru Forester with engine change in yesterday and he threw it into roundabouts and corners at 60 without a question from him or the car. I drive fast but not that fast how do you learn the limits of your car like that without ending up in a ditch?

Because it's very expensive for what it is, and not that fast, and it's old.
$11k here for used ones with clean title.
