It's the result of overstimulation. Just like getting deeper and deeper into weird, exotic, and taboo fetishes can desensitize you to the point that going back to vanilla seems hot.

90's love is real, cars where a lot rawer compared to now.
They were just modern enough, just the right size.

2. Yes I do I've been on Craigslist. But so what? What's your point? Of course it's hard to find a commuters car with low miles. Does that automatically make it awesome if you find one? That's like saying it's great to find a freshly laid dog turd compared to an old white one.
3. I don't know my father

>>16814485

piss off faggot

>>16814532
Of course not. But why is that all these amazingggg shitboxes that are so great happen to be cheap as fuck. There's good cars that cost more but everyone seems to resent them. It's fine if your trying to get the best bang for your buck but don't pretend like the best cars don't cost more.

>>16814564
Its the equivalent to a 90s commuter shitboxes but I don't pretend it's fantastic because it's the only thing I can afford. I recognize and appreciate it for what it is.

Early 90s shitboxes are much more reliable than your shitty motorcycle.

Yeah keep telling yourself that. Shitboxes offer more comfort than your motorcycle and not to mention that its not guaranteed that you'll lose a limb after you crash. Also, no need to dress up like a Tron character to drive a shitbox. Also, shitboxes need less maintenance than your motorcycle

Wow it's so difficult. You really need to be a mechanic before you even consider motorcycles.

Kill yourself. There are fewer parts on a bike, and therefore less stuff needs to be maintained. Plus you can put a bike up on a block of wood or a milk crate and work on it literally anywhere.

But not faster on average, and if we cherry pick models, you know I'll just bring out fucking liter bikes that destroy everything and only struggle with hypercars and stupidly fast tuned cars.
But then I could also bring out stupidly fast tuned bikes as well and then we just start throwing money at stuff and bench racing. That argument goes nowhere.
>grip and handling
comparing shitboxes to bikes, this is false. If you were to compare performance cars to bikes, this would be true.
>safety
This is obvious
>cargo
This is obvious, unless you count adventure riders. But even that has limits as you can't fit large stuff on a bike. But there are guys who ride around the world, living from a motorcycle.
>towing
You never do it anyway, and you'd rather buy a pickup truck for that. And you'd also buy one with a v8 as an excuse to own something with a v8. "I use it to toe the trailer I take camping once every summer."

Ear plugs.

>safer in bad weather
Throttle control. Literally git gud.
>easier to see at night
This is a given. You're bigger, and easier to see. But motorcyclists can and should wear reflective vests in low light conditions.
>air conditioning, heat, radio
Motorcyclists can wear long johns, a sweater, a cowl under the helmet, and put mufflers on the handlebars. I commuted on nice days this winter like this with snow on the ground while on two wheels.
>It's cheap and fun!
Yeah. Cheap and fun, easy to work on, motorcycles are totally awesome. To me, a car is simply a tool to use for groceries and poor weather. And that's only if the weather is shitty enough to make me not want to ride.

>>16815093
>shitboxes have larger and more powerful engines than your shitty motorcycle
And worse power to weight ratio

Debatable. The 4 contact patches vs 2 makes a huge difference but a shitboxes doesnt generally come with good suspension and grippy tires

Spongy brakes are not the symptom of ABS. ABS is just an electronically controlled diaphragm that modulates pressure independently of the pilot.

Also, computers modulate this pressure faster than you can with maximum braking power every single time the wheel locks.

But.. He was WRONG.

>>16822685
We know he was wrong. He's a retard, but that's not our fault.

I personally love ABS. I had no problem with ABS being required on all cars 2012 and up. I didn't have (much of a) problem with stability control either. But goddamn I hate that they mandated back up cameras on all 2017+ cars.
We don't need to ensure the stupid survive. We should be thinking of creative ways to off them instead.

I've just never thought they were cool and I've never understood why everyone likes them soo much

I'd much rather have a Bosozoku/Shakotan 3rd Gen Prelude or equivalent with glorious pop-ups and fender flares, than a modern Lambo or Ferrari, the only "exotic" Sportscar I like are Porsches and only the 70's-90's models

I just don't like modern cars or exotic supercars, they've just never interested me in the ways 80's popup wedge cars have

I know it too well :)

>mfw this is the only reason I come to /o/
I saw a nice blue Saturn L-series 2004 this morning. Real mint. Was jelly

>>16825073
>nostalgia
My ex-bf's mom had one of those.... good times...
The 4 cylinder engine models with the 5 speeds were pretty tuneable. I was surprised HPTuners supported/still supports them. It's basically an Opel Vectra B so you can get upgraded chassis parts from Europe, and hot rod the 4 banger with local American parts.

>>16825152
I had no idea about any of that. I just thought it was a beautiful car. The guy had changed the body in a very subtle way that kept it classy looking. I had really never seen the car before, had to google around for 10 min to find anything Saturn made that looked close

>>16814361
because they had clean, simple, respectable designs. A 90's shitbox, particularly stuff like Honda or Toyota, were simple.

beltlines didn't reach the moon,
designs weren't over complicated and angry, clean straight lines and just enough curves to not have boxy edges, no more no less
not fat and bloated
not overstuffed with airbags and dildos and other go-go-gadget electronics and gimmicks, you were lucky if you had power windows

that's why.

but above all else, the design if a 90's accord is somewhat clean and conservative, compared to doday's stylings which try to hide the fact it's a shitbox, and try to hide the regulations that make it bloated and fat

mine was a auto tho, wouldve been fun with the 5spd. still miss that car

>>16825209
>I had no idea about any of that.
oh yea. If you wanted, you could make a 4 cylinder L-series into a very competent sport sedan/wagon.
Just no one ever has. The only reason it has aftermarket support at all is because of other cars. Just no one stateside has taken advantage of the aftermarket yet.
HPTuners supports the ECU so you don't need to swap to a standalone. The factory ECU will do whatever you want it to so long as you have HPTuners.
ZZPerformance and other companies support the 2.2L 4 cylinder Ecotec engine because of cars like the Chevrolet Cobalt SS. It's been well proven the Ecotec can make a lot of power when massaged and boosted.
And then you've got the fact it's an Opel Vectra B chassis. Opel actually had performance versions over there so there's support for the chassis. brake and suspension upgrades are out there.

But no one has taken advantage of this support.
Because it's a Saturn.

Amazing is an unpopular opinion. Them being cheap is a result of them being unpopular. Any hobby will always have people who like the older stuff. Look at computers for example

>>16825493
I passed a beige one today (might have been white with dirt on it). Anyway it really stood out in the line of bloated cars waiting to make a left turn. Would love to daily drive one.

Cars don't excite because fun has become outlawed anon. The only "fun" allowed is taking selfies.

>>16822212
That's true, but I don't care, because you can't use those cars to anywhere close to their potential unless you live somewhere with lots of nice tracks. Why get a fast car if I have to drive for two days to get to a place where I can legally use it? Fuck that.

I remember in the mid-late 00's, 9and well into current day) seeing someone with a 90's camry or accord was something to make fun of. while everyone was admiring poster cars or other shit, a 90's japanese mid-sized sedan was viewed as the mark of being "poor". that you had to settle for a beat up 90's shitbox. I know i felt the same way

strangely however, these days, Ive grown a respect for that kind of car. I've come to see it in a different light. Relatively clean examples are actually really good looking, after almost 2 decades of Pigfat McSoapbar.

tldr, perspective and hindsight

>>16814361
Late 90's / early 2000's LeSabres excite me and I have a hellcat in the garage. :/

>>16822212
99.9% who like super cars aren't under the impression they'll be able to afford them.

This car is as close to the 90's as you can get these days. Size, presence and interior of a 90's car.

Corolla lacks the IRS. You need the Avensis, Auris, or Matrix XRS for the IRS.

>>16828846
the corolla is too tall, the tc was the right stance and presence but looks stupid with the 2 doors. corolla and any other modern econobox is too narrow/tall and looks fucking dumb

>>16828855
they didn't sell those in burgerland
