Post cars that aren't very well remembered anymore (as in, you don't really see them often and they are rarely ever mentioned).
Here's the Mazda 929 to start.

Would have bought a 929 if there was a larger aftermarket.

How do you know when drum brakes (shoes) need replacing?

Grinding noise, pulls to one side during braking, weak brakes
Or just looking at them if you're unsure

If you're missing the "padding" on tje steel shoe or bits of it; replace, and also replace on the other side
>>
I dont know if drum shoes have wear indicators, but if they don't you just pull the cover off and look at them just like you would a disc pad.
I asked for a cordless impact wrench for Christmas and instead got a compact drill/driver.
Can these somehow be used for the same automotive purposes that an impact driver is used?

still looking for another car and I now have $9k usd to spend
i could put the money down to finance a brand new shitbox because muh warranty or I could get a really good used car with rwd and a manual
im thinking maybe I could get a NA miata or 240SX for a weekend warrior, do bare minimum insurance and put the rest down on a new shitbox to DD
so i have 3 choices
>g35
>kia soul
>kia soul of + NA miata or 240SX
g35 (my choice after tons of research)
+
>rwd
>manual
>good looks
>very nimble for a near 3400lb car
>plenty of power to keep me happy for a long time but not exactly too much
-
>maintenance is all on you
>05+ have chance of burning oil (oh boo hoo $10 of oil every 1000 miles or a $300 catch can)
>have to deal with the whole douchey vapefag stigma (eh the mazda3 had a ricer stigma but I never really cared)
>between 8 and 13 years old (doesn't really matter to me)
>most in my budget have over 100k miles (doesn't really matter to me)
kia soul (they're like 12 grand in my area and everything else in it's class is inferior...also I don't have a good enough job to finance more than that...otherwise I'd get a 2016 mazda3)
+
>somewhat cozy for a shitbox
>nobody has driven it before
>I'll be building up a credit score
>muh warranty
-
>clutch pedal is way too high with a far as fuck throw to the point where it's undriveable so I would have no choice but to get the autotragic (for a better explanation you might want to look at car throttles review of the jaguar f type with the manual)
>if I show up to streets of willow in one then I'll be banned forever (for if I don't get a miata)
>complete downgrade from the memezda
>would probably be seen as a normie
NA miata
>every car guy not pushing the stupid hairdresser meme should already know
240sx
>every car guy should already know
i still want to get a g35 but I'm starting to have trust issues about it and maybe the buildup of credit would be worth it in the long run

I live in Calgary. Bridgestone Blizzaks are 180 bucks a piece and Nokians are 250 bucks a piece. Are they worth spending the money over Blizzaks?

Ford >>> Chevy = Dodge
And Dodge would be dead last if they didn't have Snek. They have only one good car, but god damn is it exceptional.
>>
Dodge has best supercar
Ford has best general lineup
2016 Camaro is better than the Mustang.
Dodge in general is dogshit quality though.

Which of these cars are the most enjoyable ride and reliable outside of regular maintenance?
1992-1998 Honda Del Sol
1996-2001 Honda Prelude
NA Mazda Miata
NB Mazda Miata
Acura RSX Type S
I'm trying to figure out which one I should get for my new daily driver.
I have an explorer for when I need more room/carrying things.

Enjoyable ride as a daily...probably the RSX.

Miata for skids.

Both miatas are pretty enjoyable and easy to maintain. Rsx is just a acura civic but its nice too. Cant say the same for the others since i dont know that much about them

Get the steel ones, unless weight is really a huge factor.

Those smaller racing jacks are meant emergencies only

Mercedes and Audi use V6s as well, it's not just Japan. BMW is the only company I think of that still uses an I6
Also VQ >>> RB

I have 20k saved up. Currently z3 2.8 but will give out soon. Should I upgrade to the master race or upgrade to the premium race?

I know these are very different cars - one is a fat roadster, the other a boys boxter. But I like them both. it's more a mind thing than a car thing.

Cayman.
The Z4 feels less mechanical and less "toss-able" than the Z3. From an enthusiast's point of view, the Z4 was a downgrade from the Z3! The Cayman has "telepathic" handling, feels more mechanical, and has a more authentic engine sound. It's more of an enthusiast's car.
