So, the season finale is upon us. Some had good races, most had bad races, but we all agree on one thing.

Unmoon is a pedophile furfag.

3rd for rF2 is shit.

That's a slow gun.

Will take a while to get manufactured because Honda fired a lot of workers here in yurop, too bad, but worth the wait.

>>14028475
Hatchbacks are gay to me but I like your purchase

>taking up 4 spots

Pretty douchey, even if it is a very expensive car. Somebody could even take extra exception and fuck with your paint or tires.

Rich people have constantly shown they do not give a fuck about your "parking lines."
They'll lawyer up and just make the government waste money on prosecuting them.

It's a wankel rotary engine. DO NOT buy one without researching what this means for your maintenance schedule, how to drive it, etc. For example, rotary engines require being revved much higher than piston engines do, since otherwise they build up carbon.

/o/ absolutely fucking hates the RX-8 though so good luck getting advice here. You'll just 1000 replies about apex seals. Try a dedicated rotary forum instead.

Also it's not exaggerating to say that the RX-8 will require a rebuild after approximately 100,000 km. The factory ended up paying for a lot of them, at least during the early years, since the engine blew up so often (not necessarily Mazda's fault; retards buy them and treat them like a normal engine). If that one hasn't been replaced under warranty, it's due to blow up soon.

Good luck but I'm not a rotary expert so I really can't help you that much.

It's going to take dedication to own. The unique engine requires more preventive maintenance, will need to be rebuilt more often, and it also has worse gas milage than equivalent cars for the power.

You could also buy it and swap in a different engine. But that's gonna take some effort and additional money.

Why do you have a CPU sticker on your dash?

>>14028172
I have WAT sticker on my laptop so why not

>Hey /o/ look at muh blue dials!

Look at em!

Look!

Lower it, stiffer springs, increase camber, and lower profile tires should make it corner like its on rails

Sway bars and properly calibrated springs+shocks. Anything else would be overkill and/or diminishing returns.

strip the interior
lightweight battery
fuel cell
corner weight it
replace all fasteners with titanium
only one seat
buy lighter wheels
remove a/c if it even has it

you're welcome

>Employee decides to go all in against my bluff
>Points to radiator cap
>"Oh... I see. Can you open it?"
>Says he can't
>Decides to go deeper into the lie
>Starts going on about how the powersteering system is sealed and that it can only be by the factory to keep it 'balanced'
>"Oh is that so? So how did you change it then?"
>Never tried so hard to keep a straight face.
>I'm in utter disbelief that he just didn't try to point out that the cap says do not remove when hot
>He starts talking about how he actually meant that the factory AND Jiffy Lube were the only ones who can open the system
>"Oh ok. Can you open it?"
>Starts saying "Well uh we can't open it when it's hot. We have to let it cool down for like an hour or two because see the cap says so and that it's like dangerous and stuff."
>Well I guess he did decide to go with the warning on the cap as an excuse
>"But you just opened it like 10 mintues ago and you didn't let it cool down"
>At this point he's trying to throw together a whole bunch of automotive terms into some sort of incoherent explanation about why he can't show me.
>He stops talking and stares at me awkwardly hoping to god that I just leave and stop digging deeper
>It's apparent by his terrified expression that he is starting to realize that I've been on to him this whole time
>Begins apoligizing profusely and tells me he'll refund my money and stuff and buy me another gift card to make up for it
>"Why the fuck would I want another Jiffy Lube gift card??"
>Starts stuttering and apoligizing more and gets out his wallet and tries to offer me other things as compensation
>Fuck yeah
>Leave without being charged, a $50 cash refund for the gift card, and a Chipotle gift card with $33.17 still left on it.

UTI is alright from what I hear.

You should obtain your degree in 1 year, and they set you up with a job to help pay for your school, and the apartment that they set you up in with 3 other guys.

Mechanic field is hell, though. It shouldn't be a consideration for you.

>>14027894
That's funny, I've heard the polar opposite.
-You only get a certificate, not an actual degree (this one's a fact)
-No job placement, you get the paper and you're on your own
-Little chance you'll actually qualify for housing assistance
-Four times as expensive as CC with less overall instruction
-Completion time depends on how quickly you learn/work

Just go to a CC auto program or, better yet, find a different profession. The novelty of turning wrenches professionally wears off extremely quick and you probably won't make more than about $50k/yr. doing it, and that's after many, many years.

This and the military were the only immediate options I could think of.>>14027894

I was going to go for diesel repair since most industrial engines tend to be diesel. I'm not sure how to get to working on trains from UTI, but I figured that would be an interesting diesel mechanic gig.

My dream job is working for a biomed company but that is no longer an option in my life lol. At least not for years.

There's a lot of kekoldry in modern America, no joke. Sometime's it's not literal, but it's extremely common.

funny you bring this up, shop I delivered to today had one of these up on a hoist, you know how much the customer was spending to fix a minor problem with the suspension?
9800$
think about that if you really wanna buy an old used ultraluxury car

I wouldn't think so. From a 'comfort' stand point, any modern car with a top trim will outshine that.

Next, you'll have all of the high maintenance costs, but none of the prestige. No one will look at that and immediately go "OH SHIT, IT"S A ROLLS ROYCE", unless they're familiar with the Spirit of Ecstasy on the hood, and that's something I'd categorize as 'uncommon' knowledge.

So no, I wouldn't buy it.

Whatever it is, it's gonna have a bad time if it doesn't beat the snek.

Bugatti whatever.

That thing is basically a racecar.
At least, people who know about racecars have said that it's basically a racecar.
