I am half way to Myrtle Beach drinking a beer at a hotel with my girl. We're in a rental car it's a fucking Chevy Cruze and is like a numb egg but the digital cruise control is pretty neat. The Fiesta we rented last year was livelier though. This Cruze actually shuts the engine off when you stop and starts it up again when you take your foot off the brake what the fuck.

I got a ticket today from these small town cops today because she was hungry before we got to the hotel. I pull off the highway onto this two lane rural route, right? So the turn onto the route becomes its own third lane for like a mile then becomes an offramp. I see two cops with their lights on behind one guy and as I drive by them my initial thought is "wonder what he did to get his car searched" until the rear cop takes off after me with his lights still on, gets in my tail and chirps his siren so I pull over and it turns out falling to move over for lights is a primary offense in Virginia, even if you're basically on a ramp going a very different speed from the primary lane. So as he's writing me a fucking hundred dollar ticket for this very serious offense, his partner zooms by us and pulls over ANOTHER guy for not getting over for us. It's a fucking trap. They work in pairs and leapfrog over one another all fucking day. How about that shit?

doesnt matter at all
just get one owned by a boomer or someone whos not a teen.
at least it will be maintained. they ALL can be reliable if they were treated well

Anything American from the 90s should be okay as far as repairs and reliability go. Volkswagen Rabbit trucks can be fun if you can find them though.

Cars like usually sit for a awhile. If it's a small dealership they can afford to let it sit on the lot for a year or two. Big dealerships may just give up and auction it because it's taking up valuable lot space.

I only use Exxon since it's the cheapest in town, plenti rewards points and is top tier.

What a bright future

Half of the self-driving tards also advocate for the elimination of personal vehicle ownership.

Just because he's getting sucked off doesn't mean that the company is going to enter the mainstream market any time soon. Or that other people are going to start phasing out everything for electric overnight.

Bolt is a good step forward, but it's not going to happen overnight.

>>17269353
Probably another 100 -150 years.

Like BMW - the owners are dickheads

Nothing really, its a boring as fuck Eco friendly commuter for normies.
Burgers hate them because its not a truck and hasnt got a veeyate. But really its a shit car for anyone Who enjoys driving even a Little.

It's not hard, but can be tricky.

I put 8 mil thick security film on my windows and it was a bitch because it was so stiff. Regular tint is much easier I would imagine.

Tips: mix up your own slip liquid and use lots of it everywhere and don't bother trying to tint shit outside. And watch some guides on youtube. they're pretty good.

>>17268042

I've watched a few guides. Not too concerned about the top 99% of the side windows, but I am concerned about getting that last mil under the weather stripping (that rubber blade that fills the void at the bottom of the window)

I'll probably be using 3M CR40 or similar so it'll definately be way thinner.

Luckily I've just started renting a place with a double garage so I'll have somewhere to do it at least.

>>17268061
To get under the weatherstrip you just blast everything with the soapy water and slip the tint under it after it's semi stuck down. And using a reasonably thin tint film makes this easier to do.

Another tip is to be very careful to not crease the tinting. Thats about the only way to fully fuck it up and have to start over.

That the US auto industry is heading for dark times.

>>17267530
Does he realize most of those companies make more cars here than the big three and a good chunk of them made here are the ones sold her right?

I can smell another monopoly coming, chicken tax 2.0?

Did you paint the door jams?
Do you have experience?
If I can paint my car on the cheap without it looking like trash I'll do it.

those are one time use guns

looks decent

there's no way you got an 80s civic that clean for $750

>>17255272
it's this clean after putting 40+ hours into washing, cutting, polishing, waxing, and buffing the paint, and then cleaning the vinyl trim and treating it with trim gel.

Plus I bought it non-running, and did a whole carb rebuild on it.
