id fuck up my tires

Yes

But the point is that a manual transmission gives another dimensions of control, and responsibility

yeah i wouldnt wanna drift in a truck or do burnouts

If you were paying for it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDGfzYiDEpI

truck tires are expensive as fuck

each one is like 250 or 300

cheap compared to the 10k laser cut suspension parts

still kek

obviously this is well above our heads

what

about drifting trucks

???

They exist

they also set records in hill climbs

yeah

when i was doing 100 in a truck i got over anything

That is so far removed from most people, it is absurd

trucks climbing hills?

trucks climbing hills very very fast

kek of course

the pickup im talking about is a v8

I think that truck has 3000+ ft/lbs of torque

that semi kek

i have no reason for a cdl

unless im going up near stevens point to harvest potatoes

I only posted that because you said you wouldn't want to drift in a truck

Speaking for myself, I could have a lot of fun in that truck on a runway or track

oh

well when i did 100 in a pickup it was on a small backroad

pretty stupid but fun

Would doing 120 in a properly set up car, on a track be less fun?

no because you dont have to worry about cops or other cars

Well, to actually experience that, you need to get involved with your local car clubs, and participate in track days

i can get pulled over on a track??

no

you can get black flagged if you are driving like an idiot

thats gay

i wanna drive like a dumbass in peace

buy or build a track

hence rural backroads with lots of trees

I have worked with people who have gotten fucked up by disregarding rural street signs

i never disregarded them yet bro

You are in a yaris, not a 550hp subaru impreza sti

i never did this in a yaris

i did this in a truck

BRO

the car i use for work is a yaris

shit tier but gets the job done and some people say it looks decent

It is the definition of an appliance car

yes

sadly

but i dont pay a lot in gas

Best ceramics around prove me wrong

As long as they catch fire under hard and prolonged braking, I am happy

French logic

@Alex Jones I'm going to buy some dickass ceramics just to repay them for the massive kek i had

Kek

I honestly haven't looked passed the name so old if their even goos

Good

I fucking hate females

@The Rock

*eurobeat intensifies*

Can I get an opinion on picking up a Crown Victoria for winter use/cop memes?

The basic idea would be making a road trip/winter car with some of the accoutrements of a cop car, like the push bar, steel rims, Antennas for CB radio, PA system, possibly spotlights

Would be a good shitpost trip but idk could cause trouble if the Mounties are feeling spicy

Yeah, I would make sure everything was legal

The fact that most of the cars around here are Chargers or Explorers would probably help

Yeah I'd think it'd be fun, but you got to do it with like 1 to 3 buddies

Well it would be for regular winter driving as well

Probably would have been a better idea 10 years ago

And although the P71 Package gives a limited slip, it would still be a better idea to just get a truck

Yeah if your gonna daily it best buy a truck however

It's not a bad buy

Truck would be more optimal for winter of course but there are agruements to be had for the vic

It was pretty rare that I shifted into 4HI on the road with my SUV

I only really used it offroad

I went to a classic car show the other day, and one of the cars was clearly overheating. it was idling in the line to get on the boardwalk and you could see spurts of the antifreeze spilling and making steaming piles on the road

Some guy came up to the driver and the driver literally just drove onto the boardwalk

Didn't even stop or anything

i wonder how ken block will die 🤔

He was inches away from where an evo flew off the mountain in the previous year

I like hillclimb because it encourages extreme aero setups, and high-hp cars

oh dang

supercharged 2 stroke lol

I want some specs

Meanwhile on cringy shit you see on cars

Everytime

Those old boxy volvos are becoming such a meme

I want to support them, because Volvo never abandoned the wagon platform

but they are so fucking ugly

my mom recently bought me a car and i want to know what are some "essentials" i would need stored inside my car just in case some shit happens (like flat tire, engine broke down, car breaks down in the middle of no where)

Well, a spare tire, a lug wrench to get the lug nuts off, a jack, and ideally something to chock a wheel to stop the car from rolling while jacked up, just in case

A high-visibility triangle is a good thing, maybe more if you have the space and can imagine ever blocking a lane of traffic at night

Some spare fluids like antifreeze and windshield wiper fluid , and an empty gas can can come in handy

a small emergency first aid kit could save your life or someone else's if you crash, or if a crash just happens in front of you

If you are going on lengthy journeys, or just generally rural driving in the winter, something to clean snow off the car (I use a combo brush/squeegee with an ice chipper on the end) a good flashlight, a survival blanket, a fire source, a small candle, a pair of gloves in case you need to touch something greasy and don't want to be greasy at wherever you are headed to, a rag

hmm

>your mom will never buy you a car

My car is not worth fixing to pass inspection. Gonna sell it. Recommend new plummobile pls

maluch

but take it to one of those car repair shows from the history channel so they put smart car crap into it

damn that things fresh

yeah get one and do this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9CgSjQDAvE

Anyone recommend good dirtbike that can also keep up to highway limits

Yeah

Get a car

No

I can ride a motorbike on a learner's license

And I'm planning on leaving home when I finish school, I'll only be 17

@Zeitgeist If you're buying it more for on-road driving with some off-road capability, and if you are going to living on it and camping etc, a dual-sport might be a good idea.

leaf help i need to buy a car

ok

It's a very personal thing

ok uh maybe reliabilty is number 1. i want to be able to sleep in it even if that means i have to take out seats that's fine. some cargo space is necessary.something like a wrx wagon/hatch would be perfect size maybe. has to be cool looking and decently powerful. also thinking about a truck. could forgo the cargo space if it's a super cool sport compact

hmm

I mean you can sleep in a Miata, it just isn't going to be comfortable at all

nah not like that. i want to be able to sleep every night in it if i'm driving around the country

you mentioned a subaru wagon

like i tried sleeping a in a focus hatch and it almost worked

yeah but i hear it's a bad choice

legacy is bigger

never considered the legacy. i thought it was only sedan

that looks sick

I've wanted one for a while now

Legacy gt has ~250hp/tq with the same block as the STi

that's nice

or about the same with the non-turbo flat 6

i hear they're not too reliable

ehhh

there are some issues

the problem is it is hard to get anything exciting that is actually reliable

i know...

how big were you thinking?

cheap , reliable, cool
pick two

no bigger than that legacy wagon for sure

and any offroad/ harsh weather?

unless truck

not really concerned with offroad or snow

not much point in a truck or SUV then

heck i'd pick a fwd if it had everything else i wanted

except a ford ranger would be cool

hmm

a toyota 1/4 ton truck would probably be more reliable

word. still not big on the truck idea but i'm considering it

that legacy wagon sounds comfy

with a canopy on the back, you could put an air mattress or even a cot mattress in there

yee i had a friend who put solar panels on theroof of her ranger and a bed in the bed and drove across the country

looked pretty cool

I was going to say a toyota landcruiser, very popular expedition/adventure vehicle

kinda big, not great on gas though

would be cool but i'm looking for more a touring/comfy highway rider rather than off roader

hmmm

how important is cool appearance/performance?

super important

no vans then probably

kek nah

i like to drive hard sometimes

a sporty wagon seems to fit better then

yeah it really does

volvo v70/v70r is pretty quick

fairly reliable, but expensive parts if it does break

it was only a matter of time until the volvo came up

hehe

I saw a red one that had a ferrari-style logo but with a moose

lol

it's cool but i've always kind of written it off. plus some feminazi bitch i know has one in white

hehe

can't really think of it as a car i'd own

well you could go bigger, older and american, like a Buick Roadmaster

i could but i wont. looks like either an old lady car or a niggermobile

i don't want to go older anyway. the newest, afordable, reliable one would get my vote

what are the problems with '05-'12 subaru

i have an uncle who works at a subaru/VW dealership who could probably hook it up

hmm, it has been a while, but I know the banjo bolt filter for the turbo gets clogged, and starves the engine of oil

the suspension tends to wear faster than most cars

well i'd just put coilovers on if it did

legacygt.com is a great resource

don't know shit about no banjo

ok

as well as nasioc https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/

http://www.cars101.com/legacy.html for year-to-year changes

legacy always looked like a nigger car to me. something about full size sedans makes me think that

hmm

but that wagon tho

looks fresh

yeah, i love the wagons

preferably stealth

I'm had thoughts about removing the badging, swapping for a non-scoop hood, putting in a front mount intercooler and a bit more power, and rolling around like that. Unfortunately I bought a coupe instead lol

that sounds so hot

and functional

dam that coupe looks sick

kinda like an is300

wut

oh lol, those don't exist

oh

dam

I bought a different coupe

wuuuut

ok

if i could find an '04 is300 in manual i would buy it so fast

oh nice

yeah, they are nice

how do u like that car?

whats it called a gx?

G35

riiiight

Pretty fun

but heavy for a coupe

looks like a long wheelbase

Yeah, same platform as a Nissan 350Z, but stretched to have rear seats

oh cool!

dat 370z tho

yeah

But I don't like the headlights

I'll find an actual pic of my car's headlights

the stock ones are gross

they fit the car

the first pic is your car? those look a lot better

yeah

Stock

yeah kinda funny but not something i ever noticed before

Yeah, I bought mine with swapped headlights, LED tails, debadged except for the front symbol, and with intake & exhaust

basically what I wanted to do anyway

perfect

intake and exhaust are a must on any car i get. debadge too

i guess lights a case by case

Yeah, it makes a nice noise

XDDDD

but it is ultimately not that practical

my car, that is

small trunk opening, backseat a bit hard to access, not great on gas, body roll on stock suspension

lol

nice choice buddy

hehe

I'll probably get a daily driver like a wagon or a truck, so that I can make it even less practical but more fun

nice. i'm not at a point in my life where i should have two cars
