Stop tailgating and brake checking /o/, even cops think you're dicks.

Porsches these days are already pretty close to perfection from the factory. RUF is kinda pointless.

you just answered your own question. most americans know nothing of foreign brands other than the common ones.

I didn't know RUF was a thing until I played Assetto Corsa.

Looking to grab either an S2K or RX-7 FD soon.
What's /o/'s opinion on either?
Which would you rather have?
I'm leaning a lot more towards the FD because of the styling and how it's not being a convertible

Im trying to put my new coil on and it looks like it has less grounds then the one I'm taking out. Any one have a picture? The coil in mine grounds on the body, that rubber part that holds the coolant pipe (Where that caution hot! cap is) and on a screw thats by the little hook you use to lift the engine.
Its a 88 N/A.

About to buy my first car. Should I start with auto or manual? Literally never drove before.

>>14055232
speaking from experience, it's easier to start with a manual and later switch to an automatic instead of starting with an automatic and later trying to learn manual.
>>
>>14055242
I'd disagree with this. You're most likely to get in an accident when you're first learning to drive and an automatic is a lot easier to control.
>>
>>14055242
Ditto. I learned on an automatic then switched to a manual, the transition wasn't insanely difficult, but it does feel weird having to relearn how to drive. And besides, manuals are more fun, but bridges/hills can scare the shit out of ya when you're learning.

Hi /o/, first time lurker and poster here.
I turned 18 recently, and I can finally get my license (I live in yurop, Italy to be exact), and I really want to get myself a car.
My mother wants to give me her 2007 Yaris, but I know she might need it when I'm far away from home and decided to look for my own car.
A few months ago I saw a cool ass car, and after some research, I found out it's a Volvo 480 Turbo.
Looked up on some used cars websites and I can get one for 1400 yuros, less than my laptop.
Is it a good car?

I feel like the thread is going to die because there are no other correct opinions.
Merc is the only one to have a 427 ci + engine in recent years. Their "exotics" aren't that exotic to me. The carrera gt and 918 on the other hand... (I don't count the 911 turbo or ts as exotics despite performing comparably. Just performance does not a exotic make

It's a rotary engine, it's hard to explain. It roughly works out to a 2.6 liter engine.

My wealthy parents want to get me a car, /o/. Their maximum budget is roughly $30,000. Straight from the stealership. I can basically choose whatever I want, as long as it's not a van or minivan, because my father is a sports car enthusiast and hates them. I know that may not make much sense, but it's not up to me.
I'm looking for something:
>4WD/AWD (I live in the mountains and it's winter)
>Manual transmission
>Not a sedan or a very small vehicle (I'm like 6'3" and I absolutely hate driving in small cars)
>Reliable
>Off-road capabilities (dirt/sand roads, forest service roads, but nothing extreme like climbing up rocks and driving through mud)
>Can sleep in during long road trips and camping trips (this is key)
I'm sure this will elicit some angry responses, but whatever.
TL;DR: Wealthy parents want to get me car, max budget is $30k, what should I choose

I'd say the Ford Focus Rs when it comes out but you might consider it small. Besides that it does everything on the list
