Let me preface this by saying that i know nothing about cars or motor vehicles.
I have a 2000 dodge durango that I would like to make look a little better.
I wanted to add some sort of "ram" bar that police cars use to the front, basically just something I can use to push other vehicles put of the way without damaging my vehicle.
Granted this will never be used unless some crazy turn of events unfolds, but I would like it to be fully functional.
If you guys know of any such device that I could buy and could point it out, it would be much appreciated.
Pic related is pretty much how mine looks except it's a stock 5.9 SLT

Can someone redpill me on private parking lots, and the street signs there.

I will use Chicago as an example.
For any mall, or strip mall in Chicago, the parking lots are always private. That means that any traffic signs, stop signs, speed limits, handicap parking are not enforceable by the city. You can tell this by looking at the sign, any signs that the city puts up will have a City of Chicago or Cook County writing on them, followed by some numbers. The signs in private lots lack this.
I've been told as an example, if you park in a handicap space on a private lot, the signs there, and the fine is unenforceable by the city. The business owner can have your car towed, but the city cannot fine you.

So how about stop signs? Those are on private land, and cannot be enforced. Same goes for any posted speed limit signs.

But, fire parking signs are posted by the city, and are enforceable.

So my question is this, what can city cops actually do if you are doing something stupid in a parking lot, like speeding. Is there a city wide speed limit that covers private land? You can get a ticket for doing a burn out in a parking lot, disturbing the peace. You can get a reckless driving one as well. Do these hold up in court though?

Anyone know these rules in detail that can clear things up?

question: is wrapping a car in race livery possible and legal? For instance, I save enough money for an audi r8, can I wrap it in the blancpain livery? Also, best livery thread.

The future is today. What do you think about this horrible design?
In a near future all the cabs in my country are going to look like this...
I liked a little the old Prius, but this thing is hilarious. The sad thing about it is that it looks like someone tried to design something cool and innovative.

Anyone here speak Chinese? I'm interested in upgrading the stock headlights in my 2012 Suzuki SX4 and found these ones here http://world.taobao.com/item/39663323086.htm?fromSite=main&ns=1# . The problem is, I don't speak Chinese and have no idea how to go about purchasing these let alone if they would bolt on to and be electrically compatible with my American SX4.

NEED ADVICE.

Hi /o/. I've made the decision to buy this car but I'm not sure when I should.
I'm 18, in college, no job yet but I applied to five different places last week. I live at home so I really have no bills to pay.
The price of the car, essential fixes, tax, registration fee, and first six months of insurance come out to ~$3000, which is roughly half my savings, kek.
The car is a 1990 Ford Mustang GT convertible.
My question is, should I just fucking buy this car this weekend because I really want to? Insurance, gas, and small fixes to the car are the only ongoing expenses where a job would be necessary, but I wouldn't have to pay insurance for another 6 months; I'm not worried about the price of gas for now; and the small fixes can wait and won't use up all my money.
OR should I play it safe and wait until I get hired before buying the car?

>TLDR: buy this car now or wait until I have income?
