Too much English major, too little car.

I don't care how this 2001 Plymouth Voyager is linked to the writing of the late Dr. T. J. Frumpbottom and his observations on the similarities between moldy bread and capitalism, and vomiting a wall of pseudointellectual nonsense at me isn't gonna make me start.

He's a closet furfag.

Nope. When asked about /o/ on stream, he said he hasn't been on 4chan since 2008.

He gets his meme shit from reddit, which a lot of people here probably are from anyway.

Don't get the turn downs, it will annoy you and the heat won't escape the truck as well. Opt for out the back or out the sides. Just my 2¢.

The bad transmission meme isn't a meme and it still exists, I buy lease turn ins for a large new car dealer and I'm seeing 2015s with fucked transmissions

>>17559229
People who can only afford this type of car for a day to day usually dont have the extra income to have it repaired constantly for electrical and transmission problems, even if it is under warranty then they have their car in the shop for several days of every other month trying to get the switches to switch and the transition to shift and then some dealerships charge people per day for a loaner/rental. THEY DONT HAVE MONEY FOR THIS SHIT. They can't afford AAA membership so if it breaks down further than the manufactures allotted towing distance that's out of pocket. Besides the fact that most of the people buying these don't trust the dealership anyway so they have their cousin or friend's nephew's buddy do the work witch comes out of pocket, isn't done right the first 4 times and they don't have money for that.

So if you can afford to fix the constant quality issues and gave the disposable income to go without a car for a few days a month constantly then yeah ots affordable and only slightly inconvenient.

If you are lower middle class or poor, its a huge gamble living paycheck to pay check wondering if you can afford to keep fixing your car that's in the shop hoping you dont loose your minimum wage job because you have to keep bumming rides to work for your unreliable family and friends who dont shoe or are late constantly. Now you have a car that can't get you work reliably, you lost your job because your rides were inconsistent, you cant pay the bills, you can't pay the repair shop you go to because you don't trust the warranty system that tries to drop everything on you, and you can never get ahead because you started off poor and you will stay poor because FCA fucked you in the ass again and again until your anus was bloody and torn lying on the ground dying like Anton Yelchin.

But if you can afford more than one car, have extra money to fix it, and wont loose your job when it breaks then go for it. A to B most of the time. Usually. Yeah.

I hear they're not making them anymore, because reasons

overpriced and trumped by jap bikes

But they look and sound so cool.

>>17559160

I live where they make them, where ultima is based too. You buy them because you want a triumph and like the look of them.

you need to decide what kind of car guy you want to be;
stance fag
ricer fag
track day fag
drag racer fag
luxury car fag
bus rider fag
eco fag
engine fag

Then you need to decide which brand of car you pledge your undying loyalty to.
This is very much like supporting a football team. Once you've decided on one brand you're locked in for life and must defend them no matter how shit they really are.

Once you know your fag type and have established a brand loyalty, type it into google images and pick your forum avatar.
Sign up to every internet forum dedicated your specific brand and model of vehicle, use the same avatar and user name on each forum (remember to put your car make, model, year, trim level and any mods you've made into your signature)
Ask a load of retard noob questions and reply to threads from five or six years ago.
Bonus points if you quote everything the other guys said, including all pictures and previous quotes and only leave a comment along the lines of "lol", "nice", or "I have this too!".

I learned almost all of it on my own, pulling shit apart researching shit, reading car magazines.

Probably Suzuki or Mercedes.

The G is still body on frame with solid axles and lockable differentials. If you like old school design, I would have to say the G is the best SUV today

Actually something interesting I've noticed when I drive any automatic Turbo BMW made in the last 5 years, and go WOT, OP. Anything from a Mini Cooper S, to a 340i, to a 535i, to a X5 35i, to a M3/M5.

I heard its a fuel cut/anti lag of some sort so it sounds sportier.

They're dirt cheap, engine can go 250k+ with regular maintenance. Plenty of spare parts if something does break. Not bad.

>>17558865
Please tell me it's a v6

>>17558865
Why' would you care about it being nose heavy then if you don't even get the chance to floor it? You wouldn't be taking curves at speed either in a city.

Unless you think taking an 35 mph on ramp at 50 mph is at speed, then I would say kek to you sir.

Looks to be some sort of high speed / low drag tree... what's the retail on one of those?

Would you buy any of the cars you make, OP? If not, what would you buy?

Did it to my headlights. Held about for a few years but needs to be redone

>>17558200
Yes I have done it and it works very well, but I would suggest removing the entire tail light to avoid overspray.

Get a 3M headlight restoration kit from the auto parts store, and some UV resistant clear coat. Just follow the instructions and you will have them looking like new again.

Funny, Had this idea when I was driving home and googled hazy head lights and this picture is to the exact idea I had.
