Holy shit that is an ugly car. Does it at least run 12s stock or..something...to redeem driving something so hideous?
>>24221983Nah bruh, it’s all about the lap times
which sedan should I buy new
>>24221601>I'd avoid toyota and the koreans here, they're not great about noise. you can also budget in less money for the car and just throw on better than shitbox tires to reduce road noiseif he could find a cadenza new, that might work pretty well
>>24221673motherfucker your transmission is making power, what more do you want?
>>24221666base
Base wrx, holds value very well
>>24221601You could probably squeeze your way into the 2.5T awd mazda3 at 28k which is pretty much god tier except for being uglier than the previous generation
Does anyone have a Cadillac ATS? I want a small cheap rear drive sedan and it seems easier to maintain than something German.
>>24221744>small >cheap>easy to maintain Nigga what you been smokin
>>24221744Yeah, what the fuck are you on about? It's only small in comparison to the suvs that are on the road today. And >modern vehicle>easy to work onFucking lol.
>>24221839>>24221847What are you off about? The ATS is the smaller than the German equivalents and it's just a Camaro with four doors.
>>24221901It seems like decent gm fare, ignore the carbonator boomer it should be fine
>>24221744Tested one when I was shopping gently used smol lux sedans and it is really quite impressive how bad the interior is for the class
ITT: Designs that are just incredibly fucking drugged up.

Post racecars that look cool or pretty, but were slow and unreliable. I'll start with the Mazda RX-792P that raced in the IMSA GT series. It used the RB26 quad-rotor in the 787B that won LM24 the year before.
>>24221728*flat
>>24221728It's because of the aero.It was a mix of flat underbody, low downforce setup for Le Mans, going over a hill, dirty air stream from following another car.
>>24221499Still finished ahead of both the MC8R and Supra LM though
>>24217215After all it was just some brehs entering a 10 year old Lancia for a laugh (apparently with big wheels to improve gearing)>>24216280me too, I wish Nissan hadn't half assed the GTR-LM as much and at least got the hybrid system going. The cars had great top speed when they ran on half power in Le Mans, so there it some chance the concept was actually working
>>24221937The 2016 version would have used a hybrid system that didn't fail under g-forces, but the program was cancelled quite literally a few days before Christmas in 2015. The flywheel hybrid worked on the test stand but ended up with oil starvation on track. Because that system had to be disconnected, they needed larger brakes (the regenerative/recovery system was intended to do most of the braking effort), which meant larger wheels and shorter sidewalls on the tires, which also fucked up the suspension geometry and meant they couldn't use the kerbs on some corners.
Thoughts on the Hilux durability test videos?
>>24221535Lol stay mad loser, dude is living his best life
>>24221709boomers can't seem to get over the fact that a person can have a bunch of money and use it to buy nice cars to destroythe same libertarian old hacks suddenly start talking about how he should be using his money for better things
i cant speak for anybody else, but i am loving these videos. this shit should be in some archival bunker. if i were in charge of toyota, i would set aside some funds to have a small team of people scour the internet for every piece of footage of toyotas doing bonkers shit. from technicals in the middle east and africa, to this series, and everything in between. save it somewhere as some legacy project archived never to see the light of day
I'm glad he put away his usual shit for a bit and let people see what a truck is capable of rather than just throwing hammers at it because it's red.

>>24221480For a novice like yourself, definitely the Celica - It's quite literally just an AE86 scaled up about 10%.
>>24219158I have a 2004 Camry and had my engine code scanned I was told it was the o2 sensor it's part number 234-9128 a denso exact fit o2 sensor, my question is this particular my only replacement option because they're asking 200 dollars for it at my local shop and that's a lot after all the work I did to it recently.
>>24221887Www.rockauto.comBuy the o2 sensor socket too it makes life a lot easier.
>>24221887$200 sounds about right, Quality O2 sensors are expensive. You can try your luck with a chinese cheapy but you'll probably get what you pay for.

here's your new Mustang, bro
>>24220986Thats a clown shoe not a car, from the circus that is ford right now
>>24220986Is that the new tesla I've been hearing about
>>24221186>It's beating the Model YI think that all ev's are a good thing, but no one is ever going to buy a Ford over a Tesla if they have a neutral bias. If you have a vendetta against Tesla, you'll never buy one. So you pick the Mustang (which is a good car). If you are in the middle, you'll pick the Tesla. So no, Ford is not cannibalizing MY sales. It's only attracting the buyers like yourself who don't want a Tesla. If that means more people in EV's, I'm all for it! Fulfilling the mission is the primary goal.
>>24221939>Fulfilling the mission is the primary goal.Actual bugman. You people act like the fucking Zerg, it's why people hate you, you exploding-ipad-with-wheels merchant.

Has anyone else said "fuck it" when it comes to owning a home and instead used your extra income to buy a really nice car? Every home in my state is getting bid up by Cali retards turning my state into the fucking hellhole they're trying to escape from. House down the street from me went 50k over asking last week. I currently rent, am in my 30s, and have between $1500 and $2500 extra per month after all my expenses are paid. The fastest car I've owned up until now was a G35 coupe years ago. I really want something modern that goes 0-60 in under 4-seconds. It's now virtually impossible for me to own a house in my area and I'm not moving to the middle of rust belt midwest where there are no high paying jobs. However, a C7, Supra, or GTR is very much so within my grasp. Life's too short, or am I being a fucking retard if I do this anons?
>>24206183lmao this guy thinks I was talking home price and not down payment, a house in my area is 1.2 to 1.5 million USD unless you want to spend your life sitting in traffic for your daily commute and driving 12k miles a year in daily commute alone.
>>24219546>Stay the fuck out, we don't want you.Too late. This was a long term plan by the dems to turn red states blue. To prove my point, have you ever seen those "top 10" affordable cities for Millennials articles? COVID has further accelerated this with companies and even the government allowing workers to go full time remote.

>>24219924Why should I? It'd be in a less convenient location and would require me to do more work. All for something I don't want or need. Currently have around 1000ft^2, a house would have at least twice as much.>>24220113This post isn't quite coherent, so I'm not sure what you're trying to say. However, my apartment and the condos I'm looking at are owned by different people/companies.
interesting
I bought a just for fun car about a year ago that I now want to sell. The seller gave me the title without the date filled in so that I could fill it out and register it whenever I want. I never did. Now I want to sell the car. Do i need to go to the DMV to register the car as mine and then get ANOTHER blank title? What would be the consequences of just using the title that i got from the seller?
what raises red flags for you and how bad are they?
Is there an RV thread somewhere or is it on another board or does it not exist? Thanks.
>>24218837Make sure to remove it when the car is warm. No one told me that and it was fucking cunt to get the old one out. And that's putting it mildly.
this is pissing me off please helpit's a clearcoated carbon fiber bike saddlei can't reach most of it with my polishing machine so i'm trying to polish it by handi'm getting obvious swirl marks from using menzerna super finish plus 3800 on a sonax exterior microfiber toweli tried using an excessive amount of polishing compound to ensure it's not running dry and using a very light pressure but i still got swirlsi can't think of any possible explanation other than the microfiber towel got contaminated somehow in the washing machine/dryer?
>>24221945secondary question: i'm sure most people wouldn't give a fuck on a daily driver but what if you're trying to achieve a nicer finish, will the wax fill to an extent and make fine swirls invisible so that it's not really necessary to go the extra mile in the polishing stage?

Need recommendations for inexpensive in maintenance car for a poor eurocuckMy budget is about 4500€, 20k PLN to be exact, and I'm looking for something that was produced in 2006-2010. Currently driving a 2 liter Honda Accord from 2000 which is a very decent car, however rust repairs are ruining my wallet, and I unfortunately have no garage to keep it nice and warm during winter. I was considering these options:>lifted 1.8 Toyota Avensis t25 without the excessive oil consumption problem>Corolla e15 1.6>lifted Vectra C liftback with 140hp 1.8 or 175hp 2.0t if I manage to find one in decent shape>second gen volvo s40 with 2.4 engineHowever all the option have cons to them. Toyotas are often mistreated in the used market due to their reputation of being indestructible, however you can't say that about their underbodies after getting some of that winter road salt which stays unwashed after winter passes. Vectra seems nice but the interior rattles like a motherfucker in every single one that I've been in. Volvo seems very good, but it appears to be way too claustrophobic for me. Is there something I'm missing or are these the only reasonable option for a cheap to maintain car for up to 20k PLN?
>>24216137satrun aura
>>24218149dunno never owned a Lagunayou're gonna have to google their motors and check if there are common faults
>>24206480Is the Vectra a Diesel?mine rattled too, turns out the problem was the injectors, at idling, the fuel pump does not produce enough pressure to sustain constant flow, making the direct injection a bit unstable, not as far as misfires, but enough variance to where theres a rattle. As soon as I'd hit the gas, pressure levels were better and the car would smooth out.Can't tell for sure if its a common Vectra problem or if it was just mine, but I fixed it by changing all injectors at once.
Ever thought of not being a pussy and ignoring the rust?
>>24206480Vectra C is fine as long as you stay away from the 2.2 direct injection engine (and probably the regular 2.2 due to timing chain problems).Astra H might be worth a look.VWs with the 1.9 and 2.0 TDIs, too. Keep clear off the early TSI versions.Ford Focus and Mondeo are also worth looking into.In general, get any car that had a considerable market share during the time of its production. Sure, a WRX, Lexus IS or Saab 9-3 might be great cars, but parts tend to be hard to come by and expensive. Likewise, any respectable mechanic from a backwoods village will fix a Golf V or Astra in his sleep and for cheap - a WRX not so much.If you're dead set on something Japanese, follow the same heuristic. Take the most "regular" car, nothing "special".Hell, even a Mercedes W211 with the 220 CDI or 200K might be a better buy than some "exotic" economy car.
