How about you walk about twenty feet and read the badge?

This is the only picture I have, it was sent to me. I'm sorry

Huh, usually I can figure these things out by typing in basic shit like "station wagon" and some different years but I'm not finding this one. Closest I could find were some Toyotas from the late 70s.

i doubt you have money for either so it's hard to take your question seriously.

No

A new luxury car, you mean? Seems rather an odd choice to take a luxury car and deliberately remove the luxury that is one of its selling points. Why not buy something without any of that, which is probably a better platform for modification anyway, for less money?

Obviously e36s and is300s and shit make fine, cost-effective platforms for tuning, but I assume you aren't talking about stuff like that.

No AW11s at norcal meetups so far

I don't mean to hijack your thread, OP -- I love the MR2 as well.

Should I go for this?

>>14205924
Fuck, if this was anywhere near me I'd be driving down to it right now to look at it.

I probably wouldn't go for it as a daily driver but an MR2 that's not too banged up and with only 139k miles on the odometer, for 3.5k would make a great project/fun car to drive around or work on on the weekends. Maybe someday when I live in a house or apartment with multiple parking spots I'll invest in an old one to wrench on too.

I have a bottle in the trunk of my Cuntpack because the spare tire which can be seen under the bumper was not A E S T H E T I C enough for me.

Hondafags always a shit

my wat stickers improved my p/w by 50hp/tonne but i needed to tint my windows and wear a balaclava to avoid female attention

A fukkin sik shift knob will do both.

Nice meme.

Do you even have a car?

You're in the States right? Suzuki was pretty much on par with everyone else before they disappeared. I was looking into the SX4. They're just so damn rare, but that's what I like about them. Even more rare is the AWD & manual. Rocky Road or some company, makes a lift kit for the things.

I know nothing about the Kizashi other than it sold poorly, people because perception that Honda/ Toyota is king. Really though, Mitsubishi, Suzuki, Kia, Volkswagen, are all pretty good now.

Yes in the United States. Very depressed that they pulled out of the market. Any feelings on the Kizashi?

Mitsubishi needs to stop trying to be Toyota/Honda and stick to making cheap enthusiast vehicles. They can't compete, so it's time to downsize.

if cheap drivers cars made money they would do it

I already carfaxed it.

Clean as hell but 50k miles in the snow of fucking colorado.

Also failed a safety inspection too but was rectified. This guys is the second owner and only put 6k miles on it in two years.

Why the hell didn't he drive it more...

good jack stands or car ramps

and hope to god your oil filter isn't stuck on

>>14204944
If your car does need to be raised at all to get to the drain plug and/or oil filter, make sure to use jack stands. You never work underneath a car that is only supported by a jack. On my car I don't need to raise the body at all, the oil filter is accessible from above, so thankfully its not something I have to worry about it. Still, jack stands are relatively cheap at your local auto parts store, so don't risk it if you need them.

>trucks better than anything besides maybe hybrids
This is assuming you're talking about coolness factor and brotrucks.

Trucks are used to haul things. Muscle cars are used to haul ass. They have 2 different purposes, the exceptions being El Camino, Ranchero, Typhoon/Syclone, and the SRT-10 Ram
