Why are you on /o/?

Cars are neat and it's good to switch up home boards from time to time.

>>17083273
To pick up info about cars I don't already know. Just lurking can get you a lot of knowledge about things you didn't know about. For instance, I never heard of an oil catch can or fumoto valve until I came on /o/. Too bad it's mostly gt86 shitposting now

>>17083273
For the dank memes.

because I enjoy working on cars

to discuss cars and give advice

/o/ is the reason why I ever even came to 4chan in the first place circa 2006

I bought a Miata and now feel cool enough to hang

Because /k/ has been shit for the last five years and you can only learn so much about firearms when there is almost no mechanical innovations being made

>>17083286
What are, or have been your other home boards?

I used to main /vr/, but that's about it.

>>17083331
That's interesting. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone using /o/ as an entry point to 4chan.

To learn about cars and post about driving experiences. I actually didn't own a car before I came here nearly two years ago, now I'm saving every penny I have for a new one, a proper hooning machine.

To learn more about cars. I don't give much attention to "muh laptimes" posts but I do like general discussion about cars.

>>17083363
old /b/, /fit/, /pol/, /diy/ I guess are the ones that count. I did /a/ for a while some years ago. porn boards don't really count. Tried some of the text board for a while but they wound up rotting my brain and m00t deleted them.

Tried /k/ but it's curiously dissatisfying.

boredom really
live in a shithole called Alberta where the roads are straight and flat. Its a 3+ hour drive just to get anywhere where there's nice twisty highway

I came on to splurge all over the /BMW/ but its not up. So now I am here.

shitposting when bored

I don't know why. I'm thinking about leaving.

>>17083480
This.

Then I realized there exists no adequate replacement of /o/.

>>17083462
for fuck sake get an emblem they are like $10.
and redo you tint god damn. make ti great again.
cant get no more FREE randy

>>17083462
that window tint makes baby jesus cry

cause of dbt

>>17083273
because car-specific forums are generally shit and the facebook groups that seem to replace them are no better.
There's too much dick riding and ego stroking. It's all blatant narcissism.

Even as a tripfag here, I don't post to stroke my own ego.

That said, reading through car specific forums is a great way to gather great autism-level information, but actually participating in those communities is cancerous.

>>17083369
This

I feel like most people in this site started off coming for /b then grow out of it and find a home board

Because /o/ is the only place that can take cars to such extreme levels and still have a sense of humor about it.

>>17083493
I came from a forum dedicated to cars, got bored of it because of how slow it was and how many people left it. So I lurked for another car community website, stumbled upon here. Was fun back then, but now it's slowly being inhabited by obnoxious shitposters with repetitive bait. Poor moderation on top of that.

Gonna lurk for a better car forum or whatever, I refuse to go to reddit.

>>17083273
cause i cant be an ass on audizine without ruining my sikk kred as mr helpful and knowledgeable fast car man. here i can say whatever the f i want. like call >>17083526 a nigger for no reason whatsoever, you fuck boy.

>>17083526
>>17083550

Assuming you arent samefriending. There are a ton more important things I am doing to my car than a badge and the tint. I am going to get it redone but it works for now. Also I kind of like the full silver badge on the back. I was thinking about changing it up a little and doing something with that silver badge but it will wait til after Bimmerfest

DriveTribe.

>>17083591
>I was thinking about changing it up a little and doing something with that silver badge but it will wait til after Bimmerfest
Swastika when

>>17083273
Because I've suddenly began really caring about cars in the past year. No idea why, it just hit me one day.

>>17083888
Soon.

>>17083908
Rekindled a long dormant interest.

To see if anyone has a Galant.

>>17084196
I don't.

What should i buy. 2010 cobalt ss, g35, crx , rsx, gsr... Or something si...

>>17084398
Buy what you like. If You like Yugos, go buy one. Fuck what everyone else says.

>>17084414
Im really leaning towards the ss because turbofun, but g35's look sexy. Theres a really nice crx for sale in my area too.

>>17084435
So test drive them all before making a decision. buy whichever you like.

Make sure you test out the Cobalt's launch control and no lift shifting features.

>>17084442
Will do, thanks

I got into cars and I feel like the weeb background here jives well.

This and occasionally /adv/ are the only boards I go on nowadays.

I came here because /k/ went to shit.
Cars are more interesting than guns anyways.

I come here when I'm bored at work. I like the stuff that happens sometimes here (dew trail CYOA, LPG stories, Twingoposting) and I don't have much other car-related sources.

Because it seems to be the only place to discuss cars that isn't trying to militantly de-fang them or otherwise treat them like some gay art piece to be "oo'd" and "ahh'd" over or "interpret what cars mean."

>>17083569
that's how it always used to be, and it was good because /b/ taught people to shut the fuck up and lurk before posting
now you have billions of retards finding /pol/ first because every idiot with two brain cells to rub together HAS to tell EVERYONE he knows about his POLITICAL OPINIONS and nobody lurks moar

>>17084817
Remember when if you didn't lurk you were mercilessly bullied? We should start doing that again.

Because I like to be helpful to others and to learn things.

And memes.

The REAL question is why am I STILL here. Because /o/ has been none of that since like 2012

>>17084869
Hey, 'water retention' circa 2014 was fucking hilarious. That same year also gave us skullblower, iirc.

>>17084873
Truuuuue. But those still felt like gems.

The most fun /entertainment I've had since then was the superbird thread and that was last year. That thread didn't even hit image limit.

>>17084876
Superbird thread was a riot. Wish I saved any, that was before I formed the habit of compulsively saving everything.

>>17084876
The reverse tire miata guy was in 2015. And the straight line wreck of GS400 fag almost gave treequinox a run for his money.

>>17084889

i have no idea
i just shitpost here
/fit/ is a miserable place to be in
/n/ is slow as FUCK
/out/ is just as slow
/pol/ has been horrible for the past year
/tv/ has endless --ironic-- cuck posting
/mu/ is fun sometimes but that's it
this is the only board i come to

>>17084896
That was good shit. All I'm saying is the board always has its ups and downs. It's just people now populating /o/ tend to be kinda milquetoast. Not the sort of weapons grade autism of Setk that we seemed to get a lot of nor anything as memorable as an Ivan Chesnokov. Everyone is all boring now.

>>17084902
Yeah the "let's be ironic and shitpost", Internet buzzword/insult throwing, only my opinion matters, summer fags that never left since 2014 are really starting to wear on me. I've been frequenting my car's forums more often even though that's a giant circle jerk. At least they are genuine.

I sometimes abuse forums for single purpose, usually pro-touring so I don't have to pay for suspension analysis software.

Lurking trying to understand and appreciate cars more.

>>17083273
Came for advice about getting rid of my prius and into something more fun.

Stayed because I bought into the manual meme and I like cars now.

>>17083273
Toyota general, occasional good threads and watching Mrcummy get BTFO every time he posts

>>17083273
Because I enjoy discussion about cars where people aren't too fragile to hurl insults at each other without really meaning it. Also the voting system echo chamber effect on plebbit sucks. You can't be silenced here because some faggot didn't like your opinion.
>>17083312
This too
>>17084923
Man I fucking hate that. Of course then you Google a problem and all you get is threads with people giving that STFU and search line, and the forum was updated 5 years ago, losing all the threads they're referring to in the process so you CAN'T even search for it and the answer is gone forever, even when they were nice enough to link to it.

I wish SL-i would fix their shit.

This

If I can't insult you when you're being an idiot then I can't get my point across to you. If I were on feggit I would be banned or downboated to oblivion

Makes me feel better when I see people making fun of BRZ's instead of my V6 mustang :[

>>17083394
>old /b/

>>17083273
I really don't know of any other place I can get ripped on for the cost of my car (what an idiot), the brand (muh heritage), or the fact that it's manual (you poser).

Sad to see that /o/ now consists of newfags bored of their homeboards coming here to shitpost and ruin which was once a comfy board.

I watched Initial D in November last year and that got me into cars. I've been on here since, but still don't know that much about cars.

I migrated from /k/ and was taking auto tech classes at the time, after that realized this place was a hellhole like /k/ but then again anywhere on this site is a cesspool
>>17086840
T H I C C

>>17083579
Yeah, reddit is not amazing for cars. >>17084873
I swear skullblower was older. Could be wrong.

I don't know how Initial D got so many people into /o/, /o/ got me into Initial D.

>>17083369
I started on /o/. This might sound memey, but I watched Drive for the first time around the time it came out, maybe a bit after, and around the same time I checked out /v/ for the first time. /v/ was cancer but I noticed that there was an automotive board called /o/. Been here since. I switched home boards to /his/ for a bit but it became philosophical and religious shitposting real fast. Cars and shitposting are my only timeless passions so I'm here for good I guess.

Entered into 4chan back in 2012 because of the /mlp/ board (I know, I know).

Lead to /b/ due to faggot mods, stayed there for a while.

Migrated to /k/ because I liked military shit, plus mechanical stuff.

Moved from there to /pol/ because was interested in politics, stayed for the memes. Then I started hopping around 4chan on /sci/, /asp/, and /int/.

Got tired of /pol/, plus I wanted to know more about cars. Subsequently, I moved to /o/.

>>17083446
I feel your pain man. Florida is absolutely horrible for fun driving. The closest """fun""" track is in Sebring which is a good 2 hours away from me. At least we don't have emissions or snow.

T. Bradenton-fag

>>17083273
My life is boring, /pol/ was getting redundant and /b/ was making me gay. I always did love cars, so came here.

Now here I've strongly considered meme cars and am looking at an AW11 this weekend. Hopefully it'll give me a non-internet hobby

>>17089387
Or emissions or excise

Or rust

you lucky flatlanding fuck

>>17083273
I enjoy the non-stop shitposting. That and I'm going to be getting my first fun car soon, and I need to spirit of memes to be with me when I do so that I can make an informed decision.

>>17089410
It ain't all that grand. No fun roads and high priced shitboxes because old fucks "know what they got". It quickly gets old after a while doing only drag races at stoplights.

No one I know IRL knows much about cars. The people on /o/ know just enough to spout dumb bullshit so I can prove them wrong.

because you are here forever.

What's the problem, friend?

So I can post my Z31 turbo and get compliments for it.

I originally came to /o/ because I liked the idea of discussing of cars with a community of people with the same interest as mine, then I realized that this place is shit and populated by autistic busriders.

In the end, I'm here for shitposting and the memes.

We all know /o/ is shit.

But is there any viable alternative?

Not at the moment.

The good old /b/ gestation period. I remember the cancer well. I hated /b/ for spreading it on every board but then it slowly became /v/ and now it's /pol/ so I don't really give a shit anymore. This site has always been shit-but-good.

Post fap depression

Inital D memes and shitposting about the 86. Also i like reading the meet threads because i like to pretend i don't live on a tiny raining island with nowhere to drive that's fun.

>>17083361
It makes me laugh how much /o/ and /k/ hate each other

I started using 4chan in 2005 as it had a board dedicated to rapidshare links and /b/ was entertaining.

Eventually i realised theres life outside of /b/ now i lurk /o/ /k/ /pol/ (for the britpol threads) and /tg/

Superbird thread was tons of fun.

I've been on /o/ since the beginning. (I was a tripfag with an S14 240SX back then, if anybody remembers those days.)

I come and go from time to time, my interest in /o/ is kind of cyclic. I've spent more than a decade in the auto industry and enjoy anonymously sharing my experiences and advice, but this board is just the same shit over and over again and I get bored of it after a week or two.
