How do you feel about the "lesser" trims of models?
Would you ever want to own a 340i rather than an M3, a 911 C2S instead of a GT3 RS or Turbo S, etc.?
Yes I would. With premium sports cars even the basic motorization is already plenty powerful, and they're usually also cheaper to find, cheaper to run and more suited to daily driving in their suspension setup.
I'm so terrible about this and I know it. I would never buy an NA SW20, or a 1.6 miata, or an NA Supra, or anything. It's bad, it highly restricts my options when car shopping. I don't know why I care so much.
Please stop talking about rwd cars it's making me sad
Who /tunneldownshift/ here? G35 with test pipes and motordyne exhaust, its a golden rule, you mash it when going in a tunnel, am I the only one?
not a single tunnel anywhere near me
>that feel when your car is the loudest and coolest in the tunnel every time
>>14020671
No tunnels here either... Some decent sized underrpasses though. Muffler deletes on a 2005 Mustang GT. Sweet music.
I've been curious for a little while on what people think about the Volkswagen Amarok. I'd love to see it in the U.S. but it's not looking very good last I saw.
I hate """"""trucks""""" with short beds. Just buy a regular fucking SUV.
>>14020685
This
>>14020685
this desu
whats the fucking point.
shortbeds are fine, but this is like half of a shortbed.
Since you nerds will argue over anything, which configuration do you prefer the most?
>>14020555
If it has rear seats and 2 doors I won't touch that garbage.
>>14020555
2 door because no friends or family
0 door if it's a GTI since there's no way I would ever drive one of those trashcans
Started a new Channel about cars..check it out and let me know what y'all thing an what I can do better.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvtnZH1hAqmTzZ4TYJ1FjBA
There's enough shitty youtube auto channels.
I still say there should be a shitters on /o/ list though.
>>14020497
I can agree..but there are some good ones..thats also why I'm here asking what would be some things I can do that would make my channel stick out above the others.
unfortunately good channels arent where the money is.
you have to appeal to fucking retards. see: top gear, rcr, haggard garage, jalopnik, etc
Bought a 1996 GMC Sierra with 218k miles for $1000. How'd i do? (similar to pic related, but with faded lights and paint)
>Gay Man's Choice
>>14020441
Half ton? 4x4?
How ripped is the driver seat?
>>14020484
Quarter ton, no 4 wheel drive. Interior is very clean, no tears, practically no wear, just coffee/soda spots on the back seat and floor
Looking for input on a 90's era 300ZX. Always wanted one, but very few in my area.
>pic related, literally only one at dealerships.
None of the CL ones really interested me that were in the same price-range.
I would like to inform /o/ that I -am- aware this will be a WIP car and might not always be drive-able. As such, I'm looking into also buying the cutest Celica known to auto as a DD.
http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/5348265394.html
Other than OP pic, the only two that I'd be interested in (one of which I have no interest in because of the price) are as follows
>http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/5321462616.html
really like this one, they didn't replace the sex quad exhausts with some bullshit looking ones like the last owner of OP pic did.
>http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/5291167821.html
Only Twin Turbo in the area, beautiful exterior and interior, but for 15k I could quite literally go buy a 370Z and be much happier with a warranty.
>>14020402
pic of ruined ass end of 300zx in OP pic
>>14020410
and the absolutely cutest celica known to man for the DD.
Man that Z is nice..... OP check the Facebook pages (300ZX Buy and Sell for example) for a Z near you. That Z is sweet but I'm sure you can find a cheaper (and obviously less modified) one near you. I am glad more Z32 threads are popping up lately.
The max I am willing to spend on a car is $1500. It will be my very first car soon.
Is that acceptable? I also heard to get one that has low mileage. How low?
>>14020325
You're not going to find anything under 5grand with low mileage.
Unless you're stupid lucky, also read the sticky.
>>14020325
I bought a miata for 1500. It had 140k miles and a salvage title. Fun car until the engine grenaded.
>>14020325
Your lookin at beat up high mileage civics, accords, corollas. Maybe try to find an integra or miata, or possibly an eclipse. also go for a manual if you can. Gl
I was just following a fire truck at night, and was amazed by how easy it was to see (pic related)
Is it possible/legal to get your car painted hi vis like this? It'd be harder for an old person to merge into me if my car was glowing
I found this hi vis spray paint but idk if there is hi vis automotive paint available

Thinking of applying for a courier job with fedex express. Anyone have any experience working there? Should I avoid it?
lol u gonna hate it m8
they ride you like a fucking whore every day, you'll quit inside of 3 months
>>14020064
If you want to work for FedEx, go to school and become an aircraft mechanic. There's a shortage right now and the job pays really well.
>>14020097
I got a lib arts degree and haven't been able to find a real job yet. Need to do something for the time being so I thought driving would be alright
What makes a car, or excludes a car from being super?
>>14020062
wrong wheel drive
i dont even have to say the real name, you know exactly what im talking about
thats why no matter the bullshit excuses, people know at heart
i think the entire idea is fucking stupid.
>super car
>hyper car
>le super hyper car
>difference between hyper and super
>what makes it a super
its honestly jalopnik tier drivel
>>14020062
A supercar is something the company spared no expense making to the best of their ability.
The gtr is the perfect example.
Muscle cars, while awesome fun engines and just as powerful in a straight line, cannot track as well. This is because they were not designed with everything in mind, just a big engine.
Supercar is when they go all out, basically.
