There's a red Miata NA near me that's been sitting in someone's driveway for about 10 years. Five years ago I knocked on their door and this woman says "We drive it, it's our summer car. Apparently she was talking about the summer of 2004. Been there so long it's sinking into the driveway.

Why do you have such low self confidence that you are scared stick out a little bit even though you really like them?

The new waterview tunnel that links the western and south western motorways will have 18 speed cameras to enforce a max speed of 80 at all times.
This just ads to a list of pathetic fuck ups so far:
>emergency exits just go into the other tunnel
>jet fan system isn't powerful enough to cope with exhaust fumes of max traffic, so traffic into the traffic is regulated by...
>Fucking ramp signals! Yes the brand new section of tunnel has ramp signals at either end
>if a traffic jam forms in the tunnel, it will need to be evacuated. ie everyone turns off their cars and walks out
>they named it waterview tunnel. Which is both ironic now, and will be even more so when the fire suppression system causes it to flood
I was hoping this tunnel would be sick for some late night crusing and pulls, but now that "no fun allowed at any time ever" has been implemented I'll be avoiding this pile of shit at all times. Hopefully the traffic jams it will cause don't affect my commute.

I really like the car, very very affordable (avoid the 2012, the rest are fine) fast, excellent handling, and that turbo whine. My god that turbo sounds likes music to my ears

I like it, but I personally would never want to own one. There are many better choices out there.

You can find a 2014 or 2013 for less than 10g's with low miles. It isnt the perfect car but if you get it at a dealership you got warranty
>>
I love the sound of the turbo. It sounds better than the new wrx's.

Depends on the car.
Depends on the age.
Depends on the rust.
Depends if the engine/transmission have been rebuilt.
Basically, fuck all.

>>17519413
Tell us what you're looking at, that would provide a better opinion.

Shitboxes! Who makes the shitiest shit?
/o/ loves to hate on European shit but is a VW Polo really worse than a Toyota Aygo or Chevy Sonic?
How do Subcompacts rate against each other? granted some are not sold in North America, also How do Compacts rate against each other ie. Golf, Crolla iM, Cruze Hatch?

Hey /o/, what's a good way to gauge a fair price for a high mileage car with mods?
I'm in the market for an older wrx to use as a winter car and somewhat daily. I've seen some with 180k - 220k miles going for around $5500-$$7000. They all have some sort of mods done. I'm not sure what would be the correct price since kelly blue book puts the cars at $3k stock.
Basically I just need a fun winter beater, and I don't mind driving ricers, but $6000 for a car with 200k miles seems kinda insane.

There is a nice 04 sti, but it has 144k miles and the guy wants $12k. Kinda stretching my budget for a beater.

Why would you rather buy a MX-5 over a MR2?
Which car do you prefer, which isnt that expensive?
My budget is 6000 USD.
And how to become a hashiriya?

Eventually ICE will become expensive/inconveniant or even illegal in our life time, and the DOOD LUDICROUS SPEEEEED gimmick will get boring once literally every car can hit 0-60 in under 3 seconds. How do we make electric fun to drive?
>one big electric motor driving the rears through a conventional drivetrain and mechanical diff
>4 speed manual (arguably too many for an electric, 5/6 is pointless) with mechanical linkage
>straight cut gears and noisy electronics to make Formula E noises
>batteries in the back for rear-biased center of gravity for a light nose, and no power steering for nice feedback
>bare minimum AI functionality to be legal for dense urban areas
>80's gauges instead of a bunch of giant tablets

Would a 1988 535i with 140k miles make a reliable everyday car? Money for repair and maintenance isn't a huge issue. Here's the one: https://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/cto/6192694926.html

Why is it that every American car I have ever been in feels absolutely disgusting? The sound of the cheap plastic, rattling and creaking, makes the car feel like it's about to fall apart. The horrible slow shifting automatic transmissions on these cars are downright dangerous.
It's no wonder the American auto industry literally needed to be bailed out like a nigger on EBT.
Are Americans really too retarded to make cars?

I drive in the left lane in the US without moving to another lane for 15-20 miles at a time. I go the speed limit or 5 miles above like a good driver. No accidents, havent been pulled over, been driving 15 years.
And yet, almost every day I get people tailgating me, honking, speeding past and for what? To be 30 seconds ahead of me at best? Or, they weave around me, almost hitting my front bumper once they pass and then when I honk they flip me off even when they are in some 90s pos vehicle.
Whats the point of that behavior /o/?

Burgers think the left-most lane is the speeding lane where you are allowed to go 15MPH above the speed limit. One guy speeds in the left lane and everyone follows, thinking it is a legal norm.
>>
>>17518014
on long hauls those 10 mph extra shave more like 30 minutes off of a trip. Also left lane is for passing only.
>>
>>17518041
i believe there is no such thing as a passing lane. You cant bully someone off their lane except if you're a cop or a ambulance
