Who else here drives a manual and is fucking annoyed by all the gear changes? I felt like murdering the clutch in yesterday's stop-and-go traffic.
Sure, manual is fun if you feel like racing, but how often do you race in day to day traffic.
Just hand me an automatic for /comfy/living

I've never once felt this way. In fact, I can't stand driving auto, even in traffic. Maybe you're just not driving manual right, OP

depends on where you live. They suck in traffic but I like them for weekend driving.

I drive the busiest highway in North America every day but I never feel this way, the stress is related to the situation, not the driving. Maybe you're just impatient or lazy. Manual even adds spice to the boring situation

Redpill me on Alfa Romeos /o/
Specifically looking at a 2007 159 2.4 diesel pic related
Can get it for 4800 euros
Idk much about them. are they fuel efficient? Does it break a lot and costs a lot to repair/maintain? Should I get it or not?

They are not really fuel efficient, if you can get a +09 facelift model. Repairs and maintenance isn't really more expensive than any other similar car. Brakes and all the normal wearing parts are easily attainable also.

Everyone says "get a trusted mechanic to inspect the car before you buy it". Question is, how? especially if you're new to an area or don't know the local auto repair businesses.

That's actually really cool. It's basically tie with the new 911 GT3 which costs much more and is considered the German track machine. Keep in mind the laptime from OP is unofficial and also has more time to be shaved.

/n/ has a decent general aviation thread every once in a while. /o/ is for cars and trucks though there are a few aviation techs here. I wish there was a dedicated aviation board.

Seating up front is fine, although tall folks struggle. Having a sun roof helps, but fuck sunroofs.
You can tilt the seat bottom with risers and get comfortable if you're taller.
In the rear, it's a lot less space than you'd expect. Groceries and tires and shit fit fine, but actually fitting a body is a tight squeeze. Most dogs would be okay, and there's a built in net if you're so inclined.

Currently planning for the second weekend in August, (12-13) but the date is subject to revision
This will be a two day meet with an overnight camping stop. The current plan is to start somewhere in Granite Falls and drive the mountain loop over to Darrington. in Darrington we can pick up perishable supplies, ice, beer, w/e for the overnight stay.
Camping will be in the Sauk river valley, which is considered a primitive camping area. this means we will need to carry in either enough water or adequate water filtration for the second half of the day/following morning. the area could be quite hot and sunny, so bring pop up shades, umbrellas, sunscreen, etc, to help you keep cool. this is also an area of fairly high insect activity, so bring your favorite bug spray.
there is a shooting pit in the camp area, so feel free to bring something to plink with. please be smart with your firearm usage/storage
Day 2 will consist of following highway 530 up to highway 20, and then looping along the back side of the cascades back toward Monroe.
As of the last meet, it was decided that everyone needs to have a radio for communication. it helps a lot with general coordination as well as locating people in areas with no cell phone service. We recommend snagging a Baofeng UV-5R from amazon. they're dirt cheap, and surprisingly solid.

Now that it's been out for a few months already, what's the consensus on the new Swift & Swift Sport?
These are selling extremely cheap for a brand new car over here (launched last week). Is it worth it?
Want it as a comfy DD and nothing else.

Sat in one in a dealership, interior is Dacia-tier.
That's why it's cheap.

Is it really? Apart from the hard-touch materials, it's a vast improvement over the out-going Swift, especially the steering wheel.
Have yet to actually sit in one though.
