I hate the way normies talk about cars. >Ewww that thin

allow me to be a contrarian for a moment

I just sold my shitbox for a brand new car and it is a complete world of difference. new cars are pretty fucking nice man.

New cars are nice.

Not all old cars are shit.

Camrys are shit and for people who hate driving.

>>17741506
>this

im gonna keep daily driving my sanic which is a pretty damn decent modern car if im honest.

and ill keep having old shitbox project vehicles


but i can tell you i would much rather take a long trip in my modern car than any of my old cars

This. Where the fuck do you live OP? Roasties where I live absolutely love old cars.

>>17741647
Brisbane, Australia.

Also this isn't true.

Women hate modified cars, they hate the loud exhausts that make it hard to talk in the car, they hate the bumpy suspension, they hate that it's hard to get in and out of a low silvia when wearing a skirt.

I kinda think you guys might be underaged.

>>17741487
They are, but it's the people who don't think you can like something 'Because it's old'

Go out driving with a friend in his commodore one night just for fun.

His wife sends me an angry message on fb telling me no to encourage him because he is a father and nearly 30 years old and should act like it instead of going out for a drive in his car.

A leb friend had a wrx.

His Asian wife and her mum complained that the car was too noisy, old and bumpy and always nagged him to sell it and buy a camry tier vehicle.

I asked his wife why she doesn't just let him enjoy his car.

>I thought cars would be something he would grow out of when I married him.

>>17741468
nobody says this stuff stop making things up to get mad about

Honestly where the fuck do I find a place where normies won't think old cars like 180sx and ke70 corollas aren't old shit boxs?

Even cars like s13s are hated though.

Car people like them but normies hate them.

>>17742126

Have been off my p plates for years.

I honestly hate the cressida fan base.

They get mx71s put rotas or steelies on them ebay fender mirrors and talk about how "JDM" it looks...

It wasn't even delivered in Japan.

They can be kinda cool with wheels and a drop but they aren't worth putting too much money into.

Cressidas weak point was struts instead of wishbone. otherwise i have a MS135 Crown and its been about the best car ive owned. ive put 100,000km on it the last 5 years including trips to the USA and back, never an issue

Cressida fanbase is shit because 25% of them actually have a decent car and the other 75% think throwing in some shitty pushrod American engine and stretched tires with fender mirrors makes them cool

>>17742365

i dont know what the fuck was with that truck. i put in a 40,000km engine/trans/xferbox and it ran like shit because the engine sat for 15 years, put a new fuel pump in and used working carburetor and it ran for 3 months then wouldnt idle right again. then the axle seal leaked, removed the axle and the oil slinger in the diff dislodged. got fucking sick of everything breaking, sold it for $1k cash

guy i sold it to was going to make it a offroad machine and towed it up into the bush here in Canada, part of the deal of the sale was he would send me pictures when he finished the truck and i never heard back. i had sentimental value in it because i towed it out of the forest of a farmers land long ago 400km away in the middle of nowhere and semi restored it

>>17742382

Carnormies only see comfort, reputation and mostly like the current designs. To be honest I like driving my parents Merc with all electronic gimmicks, especially for long drives, but there's something sterile about them, they feel too refined while a lot of older cars feel like they have much more character to me. A lot of people I've talked to about this saw my point after a while but still would stick to driving cars as new as possible.

you drive an old ugly Japanese car they have a point

the only thing I agree with you on is that you can like anything regardless of value

>>17741506
>Camrys are shit and for people who hate driving.

They can be fun too, given proper suspension and wheels.

>>17742506
People I have to talk to because of work or uni.

>>17743193
No they cant.

Do that to an accord instead and you will have a much better car without sloppy steering wheel feed back.

Accords are like hondas version of the camry but better.

>>17742616
>she didn't really like it, she was ok with it but wasn't thrilled
Same here.
"Waste of money" and "Too low to the ground" come to mind.

>>17743692
What car?

>>17743816
It doesn't really matter.
Both "low" and "waste" are subjective, and could apply to any car.

I am of the opposite opinion. I DD a 93 exploder, and had to drive my gramps 2016 Ram to go cut down a fuckhuge tree and haul it off.
It felt fucking souless. There was no connection between me and the car, I cant explain it really it felt like I was doing a driving sim. It just had no character.
Now some people like the reduced noise and less bumpy ride and pigfat EVERYTHING, and more power to you. I just feel there is a huge difference, and not in a good way.

That model of camry has terrible steering feed back.


Fuck off Ian Flynn and go back to IDH.. everyone think you are a moron and camrys are probably the worst choice you could make for a touge car.

I can't wait for you to realise how much of a retard you are trying to turn a camry into a touge car in a few years when you are older.

I have driven these, there is little feed back through the steering wheel even when driving normal

The honda accord is like a camry but better in every way.

I can't even begin to state how retarded you would have to be to think a camry is a touge car.

Work at a car dealership. Can second this. Going from a manual 98 Cherokee to a brand new 2017 Ram is straight up jarring. I will say however that not ALL new cars all horrible about that. There WAS a 2016 manual Challenger R/T on the lot and that thing was pretty fun to putt around in. Might just have been because it was a stick, though.

The newer automatic trucks with console shifters are actually pretty nice compared to the older autos. The 8 speed dodge and 10 speed ford actually snap into gear pretty well. I think it is because they shift so frequently that each gear change has to be smooth and firm to not put people off with a slushy shifting POS that is constantly hunting for gears.

My girlfriend has a dick and she still hates my car

A brand new camet is better than any weeb st race car from the 80'd or 90's.

Horses don't explode inside either, so logic dictates that ICEs have zero horsepower as well.

If someone who thinks a "Crossover" is a good idea approves of your car, you have a normie car. Go back to lurking faggot.

AW11 driver reporting.
How would you rate the MK2 Supra for /comfy/? Seriously considering getting one as a god-tier dd for highway cruising.

Speaking of hydrogen:

>Mazda experimented with hydrogen engines
>specifically hydrogen rotaries
>according to them, because of how a rotary engine works versus a piston engine, a hyrdrotary is more efficient than a hydro piston
>there's a non-zero chance of dorito spinners making a comeback
>and being cleaner than ever

This is what makes it interesting.

>The rotary engine has another unique quality: it's extremely well-suited to hydrogen power. Mazda explains that achieving ideal combustion with hydrogen as a fuel is extremely hard in normal piston engines because the fuel is extremely flammable and requires less energy to ignite than gasoline.

>But on a rotary engine the intake chamber is separated from the combustion chamber, reducing the risk of abnormal combustion and making hydrogen more viable as a fuel source.

Considering that Dr. Spin conceptualized the engine in a dream, and how it powered a "futuristic car", this may have been some sort of divine intervention.

I drove the Ford Transit Van with that motor, and let me tell you that pared with the transmission that it comes with, that motor is a POS.
>Can't pull the weight of the van with tools/material well enough so it constantly downshifts to prevent bogging
>Tries to shift up gears in city driving to allow for better gas mileage, but this just forces it to shift more as it must downshift to move at all
>Apparently is tow capable, towed a 2000lbs load on a 500lbs trailer, motor was unable to handle the 8,000lbs in anything higher than 4th gear, was in 3rd up until 60mph
>Motor does not take well to being revved at high rpms for sustained periods of time (really any higher than 4k for more than 10 seconds makes the motor scream and get extremely hot, can visibly see the termostat go up) but the transmission refuses to shift if it will bog
>the dual clutch manual allows to bypass the shitty, albeit strong, automatic shifting, but the shift has a 1-1.5 second delay

I can say without doubt that anyone that has those shitbox motors will be having massive maintenance done by 160k

Dorito spinners may make a comeback as soon as hydrogen becomes a viable fuel source. Then people will be riding around in quad rotor cars revving up to 15,000 RPMs while having zero emissions. It will burn through hydrogen rather quickly, but at least hydrogen is renewable.

average shit I hear at college.
>you should lower your Civic.
my cars too low for my driveway on stock.

yeah but you can't condition yourself. it's literally not possible and will dig your pit of self hatred further, embrace it senpai. side note i've only been into car culture for like a year and jesus christ yall are all so afraid of being called anything fem..

>>17741468
This has to be something that only Americans experience.

Here in Australia, even us 18-20 year olds don't care whether a car is new or not. If given the chance, most normie males who actually know anything about cars will go for an 80s/90s JDM/Euro car over a Toyobaru. And even some females prefer a JDM car over a shitty Toyota ecobox even just as a daily.

>>17741487
New cars are nice if you like getting ripped the fuck off and driving away in a tasteless piece of crumpleshit designed like a poorly carved bar of aerodynamic soap with a 4cylinder eco engine and plastic interior.
