[night steeple]

im holidaying in china and the cars here are all so odd

you have so many indistinguishable chinese brands, then you have cadillac and jeep

[night steeple]

the cab i got in is called arcfox kaola

[silent oak]

It’s called copy paste

China is good at that

[silent oak]

BYD copy

[static gale]

Electric?

[jagged sentinel]

Gee Ford, if only there was a more sensible place to put the function symbols

Like

I don't know

The fucking steering wheel?

[fast edge]

can we go back to monke

[jagged sentinel]

Seriously

[fast edge]

car with simple dash, no screens, no extra stupidity, pedals, shifter, that's it

[jagged sentinel]

I want tactile AC controls more than anything

[static gale]

PRNDM doesn't hit as hard as PRNDL

[jagged sentinel]

Speaking of the steering wheel, Ford...

What the fuck

Is this

Why

[fast edge]

looks like it was bashed with a hammer

[static gale]

Ah yes, wide, but blocking the 9 and 3 positions.

[jagged sentinel]

Lmao

[static gale]

OMG the dial

[jagged sentinel]

The dial is nothing new to ford

[static gale]

I hate transmissions on anything other than a lever

[silent oak]

I dunno? It looks so since BYD is electric

[jagged sentinel]

I prefer the column shifter that HD trucks have

Or like all auto trucks older than like 2005

[mental lion]

Another $2m kitted car from Lamborghini

[kind osprey]

My car is new and has physical ac controls and a volume knob, I am happy that it wasn't corrupted

[jagged sentinel]

Same here

Though I reckon it only has it because it's the "cheap option"

As the more expensive fords with the bigger screens optioned don't have them

If they have any HVAC buttons it's either max defrost and/or max AC

Hell, some newer fords don't have a max AC function anywhere, on the screen or as a button

At least not as easily accessible as it should be

[static gale]

Simple dash, pedals, and shifter, as you requested

[fast edge]

true

[silent oak]

I like street legal race cars

[rose sierra]

I wish we could build street legal race or drift cars but its so fucking hard with these stupid laws😔

[silent oak]

I don’t vibe with drift cars where I’m from

[rose sierra]

I love drifting

[silent oak]

In Japan the roads FUCKING SUCK

[rose sierra]

I wish i could drive my car

[silent oak]

they are super tiny for actual racing

[rose sierra]

Nz has some noice windy roads and some i REALLY want to drift🤣

[silent oak]

In SDAK the road conditions aren’t exactly good either

[rose sierra]

Yeah nah our roads are absolute shit but windyy

Not like the wind

Like bends i dunno if its the same spelling

[silent oak]

I’m looking for a secondary car, a truck or an AWD police charger

[rose sierra]

Ooh noice noice what u thinking of getting

[silent oak]

Tacoma / tundra.., ram, old trucks. Or a charger pursuit model

[rose sierra]

Okay okay noice a charger pursuit model? Damn that sounds pretty cool actually lol

[silent oak]

It’s the v8 police only dodge charger

[rose sierra]

I quite like old chevy trucks n shit like that too theyre dope

[silent oak]

It USED to be a chance to get a v8 5.7 charger with AWD

But it’s limited to early runs

[rose sierra]

Oh damn😔 i haven’t heard much about our police cars but i have not heard of something close to that 🤣

I feel like ours are shit lol

[silent oak]

I kinda want a new ram 1500

[rose sierra]

I kinda want more beamers

Lol

[silent oak]

I’m into domestic American, easy to find parts

[rose sierra]

Ooh yes yes beamer parts are easy to find for me🙏

Just gotta look in the garage or in cars on the lawn for what i need 🤣

[silent oak]

German cars are not the best for me unless they have an AWD m series

I like AWD but they never made an AWD challenger in the higher trims

[rose sierra]

Oh really? Im not too into like American cars i know jack shit about them lmao

[sage roost]

Speaking of

[silent oak]

Challengers are like my favorite car

[sage roost]

Apparently durangos are strictly V8 now

[silent oak]

Based!!

[sage roost]

rip pentastar

[silent oak]

I’m considering actually upgrading tho

I want the 6.2 Durango

But.. the challengers is really pretty

[sage roost]

at least they could've put the hurricane in it

Something modern in that DINOSAUR

[rose sierra]

Im considering upgrading to a 2.0L🙏

Lol

[silent oak]

I like my v8s if I can get a Durango gt or RT IM HAPPY

Or if my girl can sell me her ram 1500 for cheap

[compact hearth]

I feel this

[jagged sentinel]

Fr

[silent oak]

Hey will!

[jagged sentinel]

I'm a V6 hater but the Pentastar is based

[jagged sentinel]

Greetings

[silent oak]

My bitch ass wants the new Durango..

[jagged sentinel]

"new" is a stretch

[silent oak]

Bruh I want that rt baby

[sage roost]

It's the same car lol

but just V6 bye bye

[silent oak]

Yeah I like it tho

[jagged sentinel]

Yeah lol

[sage roost]

I wonder for how long they can keep selling the exact same car

[jagged sentinel]

If anyone can pull it off it's Chrysler

[sage roost]

giving Toyota a run for their money

[silent oak]

Mopar fans are the most constant customers

[jagged sentinel]

Or Nissan

[jagged sentinel]

They just have the lowest standards

[silent oak]

My standards are cool car / engine

I don’t have the environmentally conscious mind

[sage roost]

or [insert Japanese manufacturer]

[silent oak]

Mitsubishi/ Subaru lost any chance for me after they left the WRC

[onyx rivet]

was gonna say that I actually prefer how the new Fenomeno looked in some parts better than the Revuelto

but you did not post the back then lmao

Y tho

[kind osprey]

It looks like a gta car

It's just too much

[jagged sentinel]

Ig that's fair

[onyx rivet]

a full circle

[night steeple]

lambo is cool for being too much but this is still too much lol

[static gale]

ohhhh, so that's why the lambo lmdh taillights look like that

[polar osprey]

Yeah I can't lie Durango has grown on me

[silent oak]

Makes me want to do irresponsible things in a car meet hellcat style

[polar osprey]

i would just be doing pulls with the homies in the back

[silent oak]

I like beeg motor

[dire shard]

lamborghini freak

what a name

[mental lion]

Regardless of how it looks Lamborghini “special” cars are not worth half what they are sold for

It’s like 3.5m lmao

[silent oak]

They are worth it because of exclusivity and low production numbers

[mental lion]

Yeah but id rather have a car made from the ground up from other automakers

[night steeple]

even in china, the altima has something hanging off under it, big altima energy transcends all countries

[compact hearth]

The Altima is universally a car people just trash

[pseudo charm]

Every time I almost get ran over when crossing the street it’s either an Altima or Tesla

Driving those 2 cars for some reason just deletes your situational awareness

[dire shard]

it's not that difficult to figure out why

why do you think people drive a shitmobile like an altima, or a shitmobile that has the potential to drive itself like a tesla

the two drivers have something in common: clearly, they don't like driving

one drives an altima because it's one of the cheapest things they can pick up/rent, and one drives a tesla because it's one law away from driving itself

think they care about pedestrians or driving safely? lmao no

[pseudo charm]

God strike me down before I ever drive an Altima

Tesla drivers will really ace 4-6 years of college for a Comp Science degree and prop themselves as the next technical prodigy just to not understand yield turns

[sage roost]

Then they brag about how filled their car is with teknologee

[slate harness]

I'm prepping an 06 Altima for sale. It's been loved - and its an absolute turd.

[silent oak]

Man! Never ever want to clean a ram with a bench seat

this is a crazy civic without a laptop

[fickle quartz]

[compact hearth]

All you need is a laptop and a Honda can beat anything

[azure flint]

Hi 👋🏻 This is my car for weekends and track days.

[kind osprey]

Ooo

Looks fun

Woah there is an nsx next to you

[azure flint]

yep, it was on a JDM event, 1000+ cars on the same place 🙂 maybe i have another pic with the NSX, let me check

Well not a clean shot, NSX behind me, R35 and a mk5 supra Aura farming in background

[kind osprey]

This looks so sick. Was this a local thing for you or did you travle for it?

[azure flint]

It takes place every year at the same time, in early June. It's south of Paris, and it takes me just under three hours to drive there. The event is held at the Autodrome de Linas-Montlhéry, a legendary racetrack built in 1924, with banked turns

[fickle quartz]

Is that from fortnite?

[azure flint]

Nope, real stuff

[fickle quartz]

Ah, it kinda looked like fortnite

[azure flint]

pic from 2024 edition

[fickle quartz]

That looks cool asf

[crisp junco]

I would 100% go there

[static gale]

Is that your car behind the Civic and next to the NC Miata?

[loud spade]

The stickers match

[azure flint]

absolutely ! You can see the sticker on the small rear window here

[static gale]

That's sick, mate 🤙

[azure flint]

i'm not sure i can post a link here (youtube), but here is the official 2023 (small) video ( it was my first edition ) and i was on a few clips 😄

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFD0vZXsKnI

it's a very cool event for every jdm enthusiasts

[steady cove]

Bro that silvia has me salivating wildly while gripping the floor with my feet what the fuck

[winter portal]

what is a good car I can get for 2m

[azure flint]

haha, a friend have a S14 too, with drift settings, but not extreme as the white one ( it's a pro car, from drift championship )

I went with him to a drift day, and get some pics

i love this one, perfect moment 📷

[steady cove]

Pretty nice too

[steady cove]

I really like 350s aswell they are nice

[azure flint]

Enjoy the sound/pov 🎶

[kind osprey]

Smart car supremacy

[crisp junco]

Wow they're life sized smart cars

[kind osprey]

Lol

[quaint crystal]

[faint finch]

littt

[burnt raven]

Not sure about anyone else, but I saw some of these the other day, and I'm starting to really like the look now

[jagged sentinel]

They look amazing but that's about all they have going for them

[burnt raven]

I don't know much about the interworking of vehicles, what's bad about them?

Although Chargers in general are my favorite vehicles of all time, especially the police models

[jagged sentinel]

No V8

[silent oak]

Still prefer challengers body design

[burnt raven]

Same

[onyx rivet]

still havnt clicked with me

[silent oak]

Looks like you asked an ai gen software to generate a modern dodge 69 charger

But make it BIGGER

[obtuse urchin]

Yup i am in love

[fleet owl]

Any automobile experts here, is this a problem? I can't tell if it's meant to have a seam there or if it's split and needs replaced - I can put my finger in-between and it'll move a bit. Looks to be the intake(?)

it definitely looks off but I'm not entirely sure what it even is

[fleet owl]

Nvm it's definitely screwed whatever it is

[loud spade]

Try pulling it, if it comes off then you have a problem, but if you can say "that ain’t going anywhere" then you’re good

[fleet owl]

[naive thorn]

Is this the air intake

[fleet owl]

I think it's exhaust

now

[naive thorn]

[onyx rivet]

im certain it is not supposed to look like that

[main cosmos]

U could have lot of issues if you have an air leak there

[fleet owl]

what even is it cause i keep googling cracked exhaust tube and pipe and stuff like that and it always shows results for the metal exhaust at the rear of the car

[main cosmos]

It's your air filter tube

The one you showing is probably the tube after the filter

They usually have an airflow sensor which can really mess up idling and other things in the engine

Also if that tube has a hole means dirty air is not being filtered

[fleet owl]

how bad is that for a small crack like that

just dust getting in i presume thats bad long term but short term should be ok right

[sage roost]

Your car is totaled buddy

[main cosmos]

If you really into the jank

It's a lifestyle

[fleet owl]

tbf as long as it seals it

might be glden

[main cosmos]

Get the thing out

Seal it completely then install again

Also why not just get a new one

[fleet owl]

im also confident i have a bad exhaust manifold too - fairly corroded last i checked, gonna have to crawl under and have a look lol

[fleet owl]

yeah im gonna prob, just clamp a new one in its place

[cunning mural]

Is it weird to have a boat at 16

And is it weird to have 5 vehicles at 16

[silent oak]

Are you “well off” or wealthy by any chance?

[cunning mural]

@silent oak idk

[silent oak]

Boats are expensive asf

Docking and maintenance is a pretty penny

[cunning mural]

@silent oak its a small boat

[silent oak]

I’m not saying it’s a bad choice. If you fish and afford to drive and enjoy do so

[jagged sentinel]

It's really bad, I'll take it off your hands for 20 bucks and a McChicken

[fleet owl]

[jagged sentinel]

[fleet owl]

Like new

[pliant spoke]

Bro just replace it don’t do that

[fleet owl]

Yeah guy let me replace it with a part I don't have yet smh

but yeah it's coming seems like an easy enough fix

[static gale]

Melt it closed with a soldering iron

[fleet owl]

Would if I had one

[static gale]

Damn

[silent oak]

Hai car chattoo

[paper heath]

did not watch the tutorial

not enough rum btw, the performance with the amount of rum is a reverse bell curve

[azure flint]

Sunday car meet yesterday, and no MK2 to troll us 😏🤣

[silent oak]

Has anyone here had a chance to drive an m4 comp?

[main cosmos]

Im so proud

It probably doesn't seal for shit but i appreciate the effort

[fleet owl]

yeah all i can do for now

[lone geyser]

your intake shouldnt be cracked, id just outright replace that

[fleet owl]

yeah going to

[lone geyser]

if your vehicle has a wire driven throttle body though you can put one hand on that part of the intake and use your other hand to rev the car to see if theres a vacuum leak 🙃

its how i found a bunch of vacuum leaks on a lot on my old wire driven cars

[fleet owl]

[lone geyser]

if your vehicle is driven electrically you cant do the tests the same :/

[fleet owl]

i think it might be idek

my last one was wire

[lone geyser]

lot of early 00s and newer vehs swapped over to electric

found the hard way that both of these were electrically driven

[fleet owl]

yeah old one was 2007.. mightve been the clutch wire on second thought

or wait idk

[lone geyser]

should be able to find a diagram online on where the actual throttle lever would be if yours has one

[fleet owl]

New one is way too new to have wire throttle

[lone geyser]

not sure what that is, def not throttle tho

[lone geyser]

this is also dependant on brand i had like a 2016 hyundai at some point that had a wire

[fleet owl]

quite close to that pipe tho on bottom left

that looks like intake something something

[loud spade]

Put a stone on the gas pedal

[lone geyser]

jesus had thats dangerous

i mean yeah it'd make it rev 😂

[fleet owl]

poor engine

[loud spade]

Only for a few seconds before it dies

[lone geyser]

cylinder 3 gonna be meeting the moon

[fleet owl]

wont be a cylinder 3 once it welds itself

[loud spade]

If you have someone to help just tell them to do it

[lone geyser]

unless its a ford triton, the spark plugs will be looking for windows one by one

[loud spade]

The stressful times when my dad asked me to rev the car so he could diagnose something

It’s like holding the light

[fleet owl]

u always ask someone who has driven before, otherwise theyll floor it

[lone geyser]

did he ask you to hold the flashlight and call you stupid if you moved slightly?

my dad did that to me

[loud spade]

Yes

It’s the universal dad thing to do

I will do it to my kids even if they hold the light properly

[lone geyser]

it caused me to as an adult nowadays nust not ask people to hold lights for me

[fleet owl]

they make those magnetic lights for situations like that

[lone geyser]

i went and bought some of those battery operated headlamps

[loud spade]

They make kids for situations like that

[lone geyser]

kids are a lot more expensive than a trouble light 😂

[loud spade]

I have 2

Use them when going fishing

[loud spade]

Oh but they can do other stuff too

[lone geyser]

oh i know but the choice between a sticky light and a new project car over a kid is a long term descision 😂

its like 20k a year or whatever to properly raise a kid so after 18 years i could have just got into real estate or financed a lamborghini or something

or just keep building early 2000s shitboxes

@fleet owl Wanna try n guess what i was trying to get to here?

[fleet owl]

The 23rd oil leak of the year

[lone geyser]

yes and no

starter

[fleet owl]

BMW owners worst nightmare

[fleet owl]

I've changed 1 starter in my life, never again

on a small car too

[lone geyser]

ive owned this bmw for like 2 months now

its 22 years old everything all leaky

i need to redo every gasket on this car 😂

[fleet owl]

I'd just pay someone to do it. Lotta money but so much less stress

stress will kill u, broke won't

[lone geyser]

i as a mechanic myself dont trust other mechanics

aside from the few things i will let them do

[loud spade]

Car needs a diaper

And potty training

[lone geyser]

it came with one from the factory 💀

i took it off for weight reduction

there was like 30 lbs of oil soaked into it

[loud spade]

I would never drive a car leaking oil unless I absolutely have to

[lone geyser]

every car i own leaks oil

[loud spade]

I fear someone on a motorcycle will slip in the oil

And I ride motorcycles

[lone geyser]

the issusion you have that a car is gonna dump enough oil in onse spot while driving to make a bike slip is concerning

if a car was doing that then that engine would be telling knock knock jokes in minutes

[loud spade]

You won’t be driving the whole time will you

Even a small amount is enough to end it for someone

[lone geyser]

i mean i wont but i live in L.A so traffic forces me around sometimes

[loud spade]

If you’re at a stoplight and it drips enough oil to make a good drop

[lone geyser]

the gaskets would have to be completely baked

[loud spade]

You could be doing something a misfavour to say the least

[loud spade]

Idk how much of a leak we’re talking

Like if you have to top it off every once in a while that’s obviously different

[fresh thicket]

For a car to leak that much oil to put a large patch just for being stationary for a few mins then it won’t last very long

[lone geyser]

i have to add about a litre a week

on my e46

[fresh thicket]

All the oil would have dropped out of it and they’re not gonna get very far

[lone geyser]

i have a cardboard box that i use to catch the oil thats got like a months worth of oil on it

[loud spade]

That’s not much considering that car also burns oil most likely

[lone geyser]

CCV is gone, normal for its age most of the oil is probably dumped to the cylinders

[fresh thicket]

I have a wetbelt engine did 18k miles without changing the oil

[loud spade]

Actually I haven’t checked my oil in a while

I used to check it every other day

[lone geyser]

thats like me with my CEL

[fresh thicket]

I never check mine it’s bad really

[lone geyser]

it used to be something i looked at regularly

[loud spade]

But often times when going out I’m in a hurry

[fresh thicket]

I should but it’s only a 1.0 so

[lone geyser]

now it just lets me know the engine is still there 😂

[loud spade]

Lmao

I mean it’s only been like 350km since I changed it

[lone geyser]

i know its those god damn o2 sensors too

[loud spade]

And it has never leaked oil only starts burning oil near the end of the oil’s lifetime

[lone geyser]

bout a months worth of oil leak

if i had to guess without taking it all apart the rear main seal probably isnt sealing anymore

ill get around to doing it when im taking it apart to do the manual swap

[fresh thicket]

Oil is a pain in the ass as well hard to clean up

[lone geyser]

hence why i leave broken down cardboard boxes under my car 😂

i have to go get it on the 27th gonna have to grab a new box

[fresh thicket]

That’s exactly what my dad does in our garage 😂

When my mate crashed his car it took the oil sump with it

Oil everywhere

[lone geyser]

i got lucky that when my old bb6 prelude got destroyed that it didnt take out my oil pan

i lost power steering and my radiator though

and the battery

[fresh thicket]

Similar to my mate he also lost the radiator and power steering

I only got one photo of the side of the car while I was holding my phone I never even meant to take it I’m annoyed i didn’t get any pics

[lone geyser]

i got pics of mine 💀

[fresh thicket]

You can just about see the oil to the left

That was after he tried driving off as well

So where he actually crashed must’ve been bad

[jagged sentinel]

Could you take a picture holding the camera still

[fresh thicket]

I didn’t even mean to take it

[jagged sentinel]

Fair enough

[fresh thicket]

I went back the next day the guy already repaired his fence

[lone geyser]

@fresh thicket how it started vs how it ended

[fresh thicket]

Long days that is

[lone geyser]

i held onto it for like a years after it got destroyed

started rebuilding it

[fresh thicket]

I was gonna ask if you rebuilt it

[lone geyser]

and then the car decided that reverse looked better as neutral

and at that point i was already fed up enough so i sold it

[fresh thicket]

Fair enough

[lone geyser]

i still \drove that thing to work after it got destroyed too 😂

[fresh thicket]

I’m in the uk so we gotta have small engined cars for insurance I have a 1.0 ecoboost fiesta 😂

So if something like that happened to mine it wouldn’t be worth fixing probably

[lone geyser]

im un the U.S so big engine go brrr

[fresh thicket]

Yeah my insurance company says no

[jagged sentinel]

Yeah and with some actually usable power too

[fresh thicket]

I did hit 100k miles in it the other day though

[lone geyser]

if the engine is big enough

[fresh thicket]

I mean 1.0 sounds tiny but it actually kinda moves

[lone geyser]

the 2.2 i4 in the prelude had more horsepower than the 2.2 i6 in my bmw 💀

[fresh thicket]

It’s fun to drive like a go cart

[jagged sentinel]

Doesn't really need to be we can get 300 horsepower from a mechanical pencil nowadays

[fresh thicket]

Kart*

[fresh thicket]

Exactly mine has 100bph which sounds like nothing but it’s a hatchback that weighs nothing

[jagged sentinel]

I'm not sure Ford sells a car in the US that makes under 200 horsepower now

[lone geyser]

i was gonna say ecoboost but holy fuck the s650 makes 315

[fresh thicket]

Here it’s uncommon for a normal family car to have more than 200hp

[jagged sentinel]

That's one of the sportier ecoboosts tho

[lone geyser]

AHA @jagged sentinel the 2025 escape hasnt broken 185 yet

[jagged sentinel]

[lone geyser]

181 on a non hybrid turbo 3 banger

allat for 181 horsepower 😭

[fresh thicket]

Here we also have a lot of diesels

My dad had a 520d with 180hp

0-60 was like 7 secs

[lone geyser]

this is the equivelent of someone looking at my boosted Z33 and being like allat for 400hp like i can reliably go higher 💀

[lone geyser]

thats more horsepower than my 320i lmao

[jagged sentinel]

I mean they make ecoboosts with 400 horsepower

Hell they made one with 650 and that's not even the most powerful ecoboost

[lone geyser]

b-b-b-but muh supercharged screamy trumpet noises

i dont even drive the damn thing anymore idk what im doing

[fresh thicket]

You should see how rapid 330d’s are

[jagged sentinel]

Ok

[fresh thicket]

Our police used to use them until they started catching fire

[jagged sentinel]

VQs in 350zs and 370zs can sound nice, I will admit that

however

[lone geyser]

i have the stock exhaust on mine so it isnt absolute pain to listen to

[jagged sentinel]

No offense intended to any present party

Most of them don't because their owners either have no taste or are dirt poor

[lone geyser]

and mines a DE not an HR so it actually has the nice tone

both of my VQs are stock exhaust DE's 😄

unlike the 350 tho my fx35 is like dead silent at idle

[lone geyser]

wouldnt surprise me if they're pretty quick

Diesel sports car dont sit right with me though in a gas dominated market 😂

[jagged sentinel]

Diesels in small cars are next to non-existent in the US

[lone geyser]

^

only ones i can think of are the older vw's and thats about it

[jagged sentinel]

Chevy put lil diesels in their Malibu's or impalas or cruzes or whatever

They all look the fucking same to me I don't understand Chevy's range

[lone geyser]

neither

i just like yoinking theit engines and reftrofitting them into shit that makes no sense

one of my buddies has been asking me if i was gonna ls swap my 320 like i havent been saying i need a break from LS engines

[jagged sentinel]

The only diesel I've ever driven not including ones at work is my dad's 2025 Cummins 2500

[silent oak]

Hai will

[jagged sentinel]

That thing can fuckin scoot lol

[jagged sentinel]

Greetings

[silent oak]

Hru I got a chance to see an m4 comp in person :3

[lone geyser]

only ones ive ever driven were all work related

my favorite one was our stupid forklift 😂

[jagged sentinel]

The forklift where I work is hydrogen powered

[lone geyser]

the one we had is like a 30 yr old pos

[jagged sentinel]

Nice

[lone geyser]

if you did anything to quickly it died

[jagged sentinel]

Do you possess Forklift Certification?

[silent oak]

He gets the vip treatment

[lone geyser]

I DO

[jagged sentinel]

[lone geyser]

i was forced to get it when i was 16 for working at walmart and have been renewing it because its almost as important to me as my drivig ticket 😂

[jagged sentinel]

Bet you get all the bitches with that

[silent oak]

More ladies then an gtr owner?

[lone geyser]

im legally a GTR owner too 😭

i had an 01 r34 GTR

its still in my name

[jagged sentinel]

Didn't say anything about just girls

[silent oak]

I want to be a bmw girl

[lone geyser]

like me right now?

LMAO

[silent oak]

I want an m4 comp

[jagged sentinel]

Very nice

[lone geyser]

not bad for $2000

clean title

[jagged sentinel]

Do I have any pictures of my car

[silent oak]

2000 for a bmw what the problems on it

[lone geyser]

it had 3 cylinders misfiring when i bought it and it was woman owned

[jagged sentinel]

I prolly do, not worth posting tho because it's jus a maverick

[silent oak]

Do bmws like to misfire?

[lone geyser]

apparently e46's do yeah

[silent oak]

So not modern m4s

[lone geyser]

idk

[silent oak]

I want one

[lone geyser]

i exist around double K like bimmers

[silent oak]

Ahh

[jagged sentinel]

I'd never get a bimmer

[lone geyser]

the ignition coils were apparently a very common failiure point

[silent oak]

American only ?

[jagged sentinel]

My dad would disown me

[lone geyser]

BMW's are great till they brak

let me rephrase that

Old bmw's

[jagged sentinel]

That's...not saying much

[lone geyser]

the dealership had my e46 for a few days after i bought it and they gave me a g80 m3 as a loaner

ive never felt more bored driving a car

[jagged sentinel]

This chocolate bar is tasty until there is none left to eat

[lone geyser]

the new ones dont grip like the old ones do

very track oriented

ive tried to get mine sideways, 140 on a windy backroad with all traction and stability off, nothing, road hugged

lil bit of rain? drifting like crazy

[lone geyser]

the upfront cost oif the drivers bmws is cheap due to age but fixing anything on them if you cant do it yourself is insanely expensive

everything has its own ECU so if you only own a normal scanner you'll only see engine codes

[jagged sentinel]

I'm just being an ass by pointing out that "this thing is great until it doesn't work anymore" is a bit redundant to say

[lone geyser]

this is a major pain in the ass btw

mine wasa throwing trans,issions codes and i refuse to pay bmw $1400 just to scan it

so i obtained their software

they also tried to charge me $400 for a $20 battery in my key fob lmao

[jagged sentinel]

We used to replace batteries for free lol

[lone geyser]

bmw just replaces the entire key regardless of whats wrong with it

i knew mine was a battery and they're like "we dont do that"

[jagged sentinel]

Shocking

[lone geyser]

so i cut mine open and soldered a new one in and now my keyless entry works

or worked

[jagged sentinel]

Lol

[lone geyser]

batterys dead since the car cant drive to charge it

[jagged sentinel]

My media control buttons on my steering wheel don't work sometimes

The horror

How will I survive

[lone geyser]

bmw absolutely markets on their buyers being stupid though

[jagged sentinel]

Oof

[lone geyser]

the sticker on my transmission pan says "Lifetime fluid do not change"

and its pure black 💀

like nah, i think im gonna change that fluid

[jagged sentinel]

All my homies love sealed transmissions

[lone geyser]

its pain

and given the cars age and the fact that this transmission has never been opened before all the bolts are age welded on

and of cours i need to take them off and replace the pan

@silent oak my advice if you plan to buy any bmw is just be smart about it

the first 60k miles or so on brand new ones are usually fine

for maintenence look for a private specialist or do the work yourself if thats in your interest

also for some reason every bmw engine that isnt an i6 is like notoriously bad

which was my deterrent from getting an e92 m3

[lone geyser]

sealed autos at that

i stare at my stupid slipping transmission ass car and wonder if its worth dropping the pan and doing the fluid change or iof i should just wait to manual swap it

[silent oak]

Hmm so average high end performance car stuff?

The m4 comp has an i6

[lone geyser]

yeah pretty much

dont be surprised if it starts to smell like old people in half a decade too

bmw uses wax sealant for the sound deadening

[silent oak]

I saw a bmw m4 at a dealers and I i want one

[lone geyser]

so it eventually smells like melted crayons

im suffering with melted crayon smell in mine, slowly scraping all the sealant and sound deadening out

[silent oak]

Good to know

Is it an easy fix?

[lone geyser]

most of it yeah

its all behind the door pannels and under the carpets

[silent oak]

Lotta push pins like Chrysler?

[lone geyser]

nah

the go to fastener is t25/t30 screws

[silent oak]

Aah!

Fun

[lone geyser]

the only thing the sound deadening really does is muffle road noise so if you arent bothered with that you could pull it out and just enjoy thr weight reduction

[silent oak]

I hated taking out old push pins on a friends ram

[lone geyser]

otherwise id reseal it with like sillicone ot something

maybe superglue

[silent oak]

I thought I’d rip the whole push pins out

Is a used 2020s m4 comp with little miles good?

[lone geyser]

yeah, just keep an eye on the ignition stuff apparent f82's are common for misfires too

[silent oak]

Hmm are they serious fixes for the dealer / private?

[lone geyser]

on i6 cars i wouldnt even bother paying someone to do it

[silent oak]

Even “exotic” car mechanics?

[lone geyser]

just get a spark plug kit for like $20 and pop out the plugs and coils

replace the whole lot and you should be fine

[silent oak]

Nice I’m gonna save. For an m4 comp it costs 60k from a Chrysler dealer

Some one traded a fucking m4 comp at a mopar dealer

[lone geyser]

note dont touch the ignition stuff until something starts going wrong

and if one cylinder starts misfiring then do all 6

its like the pairs rule for suspension, may as well do em all

i did all my coils aside from like one and all 6 plugs and now mine likes to misfire only on startup

so im just gonna have to loop back around and buy new coils again

[silent oak]

Hmm ok how much is a repaint from the dealer gonna cost?

I want that São Paulo yellow

[lone geyser]

get a private guy to do paint, you;ll save so much

[silent oak]

Can they get the exact paint color?

[lone geyser]

just give them the paint code yeah

or the name, its usually on a plaque under the hood

[silent oak]

The São Paulo yellow is soo pretty

[lone geyser]

im gonna be an ass since im repainting my e46 to one of the dark blues that came on the m3

[silent oak]

It’s the closest to sublime green

[lone geyser]

im gonna put the titansilber metallic plaque back on 😂

[lone geyser]

you could also just get a private painter to just.... paint it in sublime green 😂

[silent oak]

Idk would sublime green from dodge look good on an m4 performance coupe

[lone geyser]

probably

[silent oak]

What do you want your e46 to be ? Bright as hell?

[lone geyser]

im going dark

going for this gorgeous pacific style

[silent oak]

Black doesn’t fit the modern beamers ..

[lone geyser]

Bimmer

Beamers have 2 wheels

🙃

[silent oak]

I saw the x drive thing what’s that on an m4 comp?

[lone geyser]

X drive is AWD

on all bmw's

[silent oak]

So just another tacked on expense by bmw?

[lone geyser]

pretty much

[silent oak]

It is worth it on a performance car?

[lone geyser]

you can damn near flash tune the AWD system out 😂

i personally wouldnt go for it unless you plan to drive it year round

hence why i didnt get a 320XI

[silent oak]

Daily an m4 comp or coupe

[lone geyser]

i have a different vehicle for the winter

i daily my e46 when it runs

[silent oak]

Is it worth it to daily an m4?

[jagged sentinel]

Define worth it

[lone geyser]

if you can live with every mile severely tanking the resale value then yeah

M cars dont usually get driven that much if they arent bought for like track use, hence why they still remain fairly expensive

[silent oak]

Someone who wants to drive it like hell.. yes

[jagged sentinel]

Gas mileage probably won't be good, I have no idea what the ride would be or what the difference between an M4 comp and a base M4 is in terms of how it drives

[lone geyser]

gas mileage on i6 bimmers is surprisingly good

[silent oak]

Difference between coupe / comp?

[jagged sentinel]

Gas Mileage on Chevy V8s can be good as well

[lone geyser]

the coupe will be the base 2 door m4 and i think the comp ha ssome extra goodies, maybe a bbit more power

[jagged sentinel]

Doesn't mean it always will be

[lone geyser]

not 30mpg with your foot pinned to the floor good

[jagged sentinel]

[lone geyser]

my c10 gets like 7 gallons a mile

my e46 has 27mpg average 💀

[silent oak]

So go with the m4 coupe ?

[jagged sentinel]

Gas mileage of an M4 comp is 16 city 23 highway

That's exactly the kind of mileage I was expecting

[silent oak]

I know did my research

[lone geyser]

im looking at the forums it looks like comp is just a suspension package

so its like newer M tech for the e46

[silent oak]

Ah I just love the m4 look imo

[lone geyser]

it'd be stiffer, more oriented to track

if you plan to daily it and drive it hard on the street id probably just get the normal m4 personally

[jagged sentinel]

The recent SS camaros get 16 city 24 highway

[silent oak]

Good to know..

[jagged sentinel]

24, not 26

So yeah the M4 comp is consistent with other vehicles in its weight and power class

[silent oak]

Is it worth 60 k

[lone geyser]

Also to note moddern bmw's are like really fucking heavy

[jagged sentinel]

Fuck if I know man

Good luck getting one for 60K tho

[silent oak]

Found one used in California in a mopar dealership

[lone geyser]

Sunshine state car!

if its existed here its whole life at least there wouldnt be any rust

high chance it probably never saw snow depending on wher ein california

[jagged sentinel]

It hasn't existed very long anyway so there shouldn't be any rust

[lone geyser]

youd be fucking suprised 💀

[jagged sentinel]

I live in the rust belt dawg

[silent oak]

North cal speaking

[jagged sentinel]

So does suki

[silent oak]

Wooo near the cad border

[jagged sentinel]

I live closer to it than you do

[silent oak]

Lucky bastard

[jagged sentinel]

That's debatable

[silent oak]

Canadian whisky is good

[jagged sentinel]

I don't drink

I live close enough that I get on canadian cellular networks sometimes

[silent oak]

They EHH and soorry?

[jagged sentinel]

Quite literally like half a mile from the border

[tropic timber]

did someone say alcohol

[lone geyser]

shame

im an existor of the sun belt

[jagged sentinel]

Mostly Bell and Rogers, actually

And Telus, but that was only when I visited canada

[silent oak]

I can drive to AZ for a bmw tho

No rust at all

[jagged sentinel]

The rust on my car should advance much slower

We be getting undercoats every year when winter starts

My dad learned that lesson on his last truck

[lone geyser]

also i somewhat beg to differ

the same gen 4 series you're looking at

Black f82s go kinda hard

[jagged sentinel]

I like the metallic blue they come in

[lone geyser]

the dark one?

[silent oak]

How bout this?

[jagged sentinel]

The more saturated one, because German cars are addicted to faded colors like meth-heads are to bath salts

[lone geyser]

the G chassis can smell my car leaking oil from across the country

Sniffa

[jagged sentinel]

Bath salts are fuckin wild but that's not a conversation for this channel

[silent oak]

Sniffs sniff

[lone geyser]

doesnt @nova estuary own a G chassis?

[lone geyser]

so not this one?

[silent oak]

Question for the American here..

[jagged sentinel]

No

[silent oak]

What’s a Better choice, hellcat or mustang gt

No bias

[jagged sentinel]

Better choice for...

[silent oak]

Fun driving

All fun no practical use of

[jagged sentinel]

Both of them require a degree of skill above the average car

[lone geyser]

S550's up disagree

[jagged sentinel]

A hellcat will of course have more power but the mustang will handle better

[lone geyser]

IRS entered the chat with those ones

[silent oak]

May I call will the American like in the grand tour?

[jagged sentinel]

You already did

[silent oak]

So is anything not a v8 communism?

[jagged sentinel]

No

I'm not that american

[silent oak]

Aww shattering my vision of you..

[jagged sentinel]

There are some cool American V6s and I4s

[silent oak]

Gt v6 challenger is alot

COOLER THEN PEOPLE THINK

[jagged sentinel]

The Pentastar is one of the good V6s I'm on about

[silent oak]

it’s got an AWD option

Like an AWD challenger is the dream

[jagged sentinel]

In fact it's probably one of the best Chrysler engines ever made

[silent oak]

Ty for that

I like my mopar but German m4 is my guilty pleasure

[jagged sentinel]

My family has 2 of them and they've both been faultlessly reliable and uncomplaining

[lone geyser]

if only i was into mopars, id have a hell of a deal on them

my uncle is parts management at a dodge dealer 💀

[jagged sentinel]

I am and forever will be a Pentastar stan

That being said

[rose sierra]

Finally took this shitty headliner out 😂 going black soon

[silent oak]

Is it better then a bigger hemi tho

American

[pseudo charm]

Buddy of mine took me for a test drive in a hellcat and it was a pretty crazy experience

[jagged sentinel]

Physically?

[lone geyser]

ohai, me n you were chatting in the bmw server earlier LMAO

[rose sierra]

🤣🤣 hello again

[silent oak]

Nyo I like

[silent oak]

Which model?

[jagged sentinel]

It isn't the only cool V6 America has made

[silent oak]

Hellcat red Eye?

[jagged sentinel]

I have 2 other examples, one may get some flak

[pseudo charm]

2019 Challenger Hellcat

Was like a year or 2 ago

[silent oak]

Wide or narrow?

[lone geyser]

i remember sending a 2016 scat pack down a backroad last time i was around that dealership... it was alright

[silent oak]

Assuming narrow cuz basic

[nova estuary]

I have a Genesis G80

[pseudo charm]

Pretty sure it was wide. Don’t fully remember

[jagged sentinel]

Close enough

[pseudo charm]

I did enjoy the ride though

[silent oak]

Hmm wish I had a srt hellcat

[nova estuary]

Yeah, pretty much the same thing 😆

[silent oak]

And an m4

[lone geyser]

OH bahahaha

you had only said g80 when we talked about mechanics so i assumed you had a sniffa bimmer 😂

[jagged sentinel]

Hot Take: the Ford GT's V6 is actually pretty neat

[pseudo charm]

Been thinking of getting a C6 corvette here pretty soon

[silent oak]

I WANT TO FUFIL the stereotype of Asian people owning bmws

[nova estuary]

Haha yeah I wish, the slower budget version

[pseudo charm]

There are some Z06’s near me that I’ve been taking a look at

[lone geyser]

budget korean version 😭

[jagged sentinel]

There are definitely worse choices for a used sports car

[lone geyser]

one of my sisters friends has a mark 5 jetta and she said its like the poverty spec version of my e46

[silent oak]

Any used German car above 100k miles.

[pseudo charm]

I will get 120K mile 2011 M3

[jagged sentinel]

[lone geyser]

Deterrent, i wanted an 09 e92 m3

the bmw v8s past the e39 5 series are fucking garbage

[jagged sentinel]

Remember when I said there were worse choices 30 seconds ago?

[pseudo charm]

Oh no they’re definitely very reliable with no maintenance issues

[lone geyser]

although the twin turbo v8 in the X5M is an insanely tempting swap

[jagged sentinel]

Isn't that engine dogshit

[pseudo charm]

100%

[lone geyser]

yes its a non i6 bmw engine 😂

[silent oak]

Talk me out of an M4 comp..

The inner wealthy Asian in me wants to own one for that fact

[jagged sentinel]

I mean like even for a BMW V8 it was bad

[lone geyser]

it was the allurew of being pre twin turbo

if i was gonna v8 swap my e46 id be looking at e39 540's

its the same chassis as my 46 so the swap'd be farly straight forward for a while like 120 hp gain

im set on getting a 3.0 from a 330i and building off that though

or just reverting to my roots and RB swapping the fucken thing

[lone geyser]

big sniff, too much sniff

[silent oak]

SNIFFA I want it

[lone geyser]

i wanna know who at bmw looked at that and went "yeah this resembles out old kidney grilles"

and then decided to make the sniffer a pair of fucking lungs 😂

[silent oak]

They ain’t that bad imo

The more you look at them

[lone geyser]

i hate new cars in general so i have a bias

everything currently sitting in my yard is pre 2005

[silent oak]

I like newer challengers imo

[pseudo charm]

It’s definitely grown on me

[silent oak]

They look pretty

[pseudo charm]

It used to absolutely hate the front end when I first saw it

[lone geyser]

yknwo whats grown on me with age?

sedans

i aint even that old

[silent oak]

Acquired taste

[lone geyser]

but like for some reason the e46 coupe looks off to me

[silent oak]

I like any coupe

[pseudo charm]

Me but with trucks

[silent oak]

4 doors is annoying when your alone

[lone geyser]

same could be said about the 350z

i think the hatchback z looks wrong

but ive had a roadster in my yard for like 5 years

[lone geyser]

trucks are goated

i need another one

need me a toy hauler truck

looking at a 2007 nissan titan

[silent oak]

I like tundras

[lone geyser]

tundras are cool as actual trucks but not tow rigs

[silent oak]

Remember? I’m single..

[lone geyser]

the issue is they are rated for good tow numbers but they cant stop

[silent oak]

And single women LOVE big trucks

Totally..,

And I totally don’t like basic cars

[lone geyser]

this would explain why i cant women, i buy small trucks

[silent oak]

I love muscle cars

Small car is weak to me

[lone geyser]

i dont got any of those

i used to

[silent oak]

I want a fucking land yacht hellcat

[lone geyser]

i had a first gen camaro and i got rid of it to build my c10

big regret

[silent oak]

Can a home girl drive a m4 in snow, hell nah

[lone geyser]

i mean probably

[silent oak]

Aah

[lone geyser]

i got a buddy who sends his r35 gtr through the snow 💀

[jagged sentinel]

A rwd low-slung sports car in snow, sludge and ice?

[jagged sentinel]

That's AWD tho

[silent oak]

Optional AWD x drive trim

[lone geyser]

hes not afraid to send a 60,000 car at mach fuck through snow, i put my $1000 rebuilt title shitboxes away when it rains 💀

[jagged sentinel]

Ah right

I still wouldn't take a sports car like that in the snow tho

[silent oak]

If I’m willing to drop the extra for a x drive comp

[lone geyser]

youd be miserable during the not snow seasons

[jagged sentinel]

AWD or 4WD is a must in the Midwest in the winter

[lone geyser]

as cars that were very driver oriented (they havent been for at least a decade now) AWD bmw's in the summer you may as well be driving a 92 camry

[silent oak]

Why would a basic bitch girl drive a Camry

[jagged sentinel]

They're reliable and efficient

[silent oak]

I can afford better cars then a shit box

[lone geyser]

cuz bad bitches drive white vehicles or something

idk

[lone geyser]

i own a white van
maybe im the bad bitch 😭

[jagged sentinel]

What's wrong with having a boring cheap daily

[silent oak]

Standards

[jagged sentinel]

[rose sierra]

Shitty daily so i can build more sick cars 🙏

[lone geyser]

get a semi cool boring daily

my reliable all season daily is a 2005 innfinity fx35 lmao

[rose sierra]

Yeah like its not bad but still cheap af

[jagged sentinel]

If it's a car you drive every day why would you want literally anything else but a reliable one; and usually boring and reliable end up being common traits in the same vehicles

[lone geyser]

only thing in this photo that isnt broken if the fx

[rose sierra]

Hell yeah

[jagged sentinel]

Whatever my shitbox/fun car is, my daily will probably be my maverick

[silent oak]

My dream shitbox is a Datsun 100A

If you know you know

[lone geyser]

i wanna start referring to the fx as a 350z suv so badly just to anger infinity boys 😂

[jagged sentinel]

Idk I might get like a late-model s197 or something

[rose sierra]

Imma buy more beamers

[lone geyser]

for a fun car?

[jagged sentinel]

And/or a shitbox

[lone geyser]

the new edge GT's went kinda hard

[jagged sentinel]

I work at a Ford dealership

[silent oak]

Hii I want a bmw myself but can’t afford the one I want

[lone geyser]

buddy had sn s197

[rose sierra]

Theres some real cheap ones mine was only $300

[lone geyser]

he would slide that thing out of the parking lot at work daily

[jagged sentinel]

They mean an M4 comp lol

[silent oak]

Girl.. I want an M4,

[rose sierra]

Oh🤣

[lone geyser]

one of the ones that'll like never go below 15 grand even in 20 years 😂

[rose sierra]

I mean still there are cheap as beamers out there that are newer

[jagged sentinel]

Honestly eventually I either want an F150 and/or a dark horse if I wanted to leverage my employee discount

[lone geyser]

anything that isnt actually desirable to build end up stupid cheap

when it comes to german

[silent oak]

Can I beg a dodge employee for employee discount if I date him ?

[jagged sentinel]

What?

[silent oak]

Hellcat on employee discount

[jagged sentinel]

I saw a venn diagram once about the relationship between speed, reliability and price

[lone geyser]

you can only have 2

[jagged sentinel]

Yes

The center portion is black because it doesn't exist

[lone geyser]

you try to bridge the 3 and you get uhh

[jagged sentinel]

A fucking black hole

[lone geyser]

the e92 335i twith the n54

[jagged sentinel]

It's just impossible

There will always be a trade-off

[silent oak]

Anyways bye chat

I gotta get drinks

[rose sierra]

One day i shall try have all 3🤣

[jagged sentinel]

I gotta shower and go to bed

[jagged sentinel]

Good luck with that ig

[lone geyser]

reliable + cheap > boring
Realiable + fast > expensive

[rose sierra]

Maybe i should honda swap my beamer lmao

[silent oak]

I like fast and reliable

[lone geyser]

hear me out

not a k20

[rose sierra]

Nah reliable n cheap is fun as fuck

[lone geyser]

not a k24

H22A

[jagged sentinel]

Then you'll be paying a premium

[lone geyser]

the JDM one

[silent oak]

I know.

I like the German sports cars

[rose sierra]

Man i need more beamers so i can experiment with them lol

[jagged sentinel]

Well, I'd call into the question the reliability portion

[rose sierra]

I want anything but my bmw engine in my bmw at the moment 🤣

[lone geyser]

theres that one dude on youtube who pulled the H22A4 from a prelude, puished it to 1000hp and then slapped it in a fucking minivan

[rose sierra]

🤣

Damn

[jagged sentinel]

I've seen that

[silent oak]

But American ford engine cool:3

[jagged sentinel]

It's a Honda Odyssey with Fifteen52s isn't it

[rose sierra]

Barraa

[lone geyser]

i saw it when i owned an H22 prelide

and it gave me ideas

[lone geyser]

the video i saw wasnt on fifteen52s but it was an oddysey yeah

[jagged sentinel]

Maybe it wasn't Fifteen52s but they were some solid-looking 3-piece wheels

[lone geyser]

the one i saw i think it was on drag slicks

[jagged sentinel]

Ah

The one I'm thinking of is used as a daily

[lone geyser]

might be the same one just brought down the line

[silent oak]

Hmm indeed interesting

Idk my daily has been fine

[lone geyser]

my dailies keep fucking exploding

[silent oak]

Let me guess.. old bmw

Yeah I get it

[lone geyser]

nah my daily was an 07 subaru outback

[jagged sentinel]

It was this one

It was apparently sold way back in 2016 tho

[lone geyser]

yeah this is a different one

iirc the one i saw was that ugly brown

been a while though i could be wrong

[jagged sentinel]

Level 260

[lone geyser]

AHA i found it

@jagged sentinel https://youtu.be/qeWbjm5g6Ak?si=rTFr0jGmPab33vYI

@silent oak explosive old daily next to explosive fun car

[rose sierra]

Hell yeah

[lone geyser]

the e46 outlived the outback

and thats probably sad

[silent oak]

Wish I had a big enough plot

[lone geyser]

i need more parking spaces

i got 6 cars in the yard and want more

i should fix the ones i have first

[jagged sentinel]

My family's driveway doesn't have any more space

[rose sierra]

I should build my car

[silent oak]

I need a big ranch out here

[lone geyser]

my thoughts staring at my e46 lmao

[jagged sentinel]

Full-size Camper trailer, 2500 Long Bed crew cab, my maverick and my sister's maverick, plus a Camaro and my mom's Durango in the garage

[lone geyser]

turbo 3.0 swap and a 5 speed ZF manual 🤤

[rose sierra]

I been busy as fuck then when im not i have no motivation to do it its so annoying 😔

[rose sierra]

All in an e36 compact 🙏🤣

[lone geyser]

2jz swap it... wait maybe not, everyone JZ swaps bmws

[silent oak]

You have a nice family car set up

[lone geyser]

the JZ swap hype is what makes me want an RB for mine

[rose sierra]

Oh my god my chair is so fucking sqeaky its so annoying 😔 lucky we have a million other bmw seats🤣

[rose sierra]

Lmaoo dads rb swapping his beamer

[lone geyser]

something id wish my kids would say to their friends if i had any

[rose sierra]

🤣

I wanna buy some cool wheels for my car

[lone geyser]

Grandmas driveway is like i mile long but i got
c10
GMT400 sierra
savannah
z33
e46
fx35
b o a t
and then my moms mazda when im up there

[rose sierra]

But i needa buy go parts first😔

[lone geyser]

i was looking at style 359s for mine

the M3 wheels

$1300 for a set is steep for now though

[rose sierra]

Ooh yeah theyre cool

But yeah expensive 😂

I actually wanna see what r33 rims look like on an e36 compact i kinda want some 🤣

They look good on sedans n coupes

[lone geyser]

im gonna end up building my e46 and then buying another skyline to daily

and then end up building that too 😓

[jagged sentinel]

I forgot to mention my dad's old 1500

[paper heath]

the exhaust has so much recoil that the car gets punched down a bit

crazy build

[kind osprey]

No... buy nb miata, and use the extra $90,000 as a house down payment

[silent oak]

Nyo!! M4 comp

[static gale]

that's just the weight shifting forward from getting off the throttle for the shifts

[paper heath]

ooooh

yeah thats like

2 tons

[lone geyser]

may i ask why an NB?

[silent oak]

Miata cult

[paper heath]

NA is the better miata

[silent oak]

I’m a performance car / muscle car girl

[paper heath]

fair

nb has better performance

[silent oak]

Like I’m the type of girl who wants to own a fucking m4 comp

[paper heath]

it does look nice

[silent oak]

I just never liked Miata’s looks

[paper heath]

fair

[silent oak]

Compare this to a Miata

[paper heath]

im over here looking at the bmw website

[silent oak]

This looks SEXY

[paper heath]

and the base m4 comp is 168k

[silent oak]

WORTH IT

[silent oak]

Is it usd?

[paper heath]

euro

[azure flint]

In your country, a Z is a "cheap" car or not ?

[lone geyser]

i got mine for 7 cuz i bought it off a friend

[azure flint]

7 it's cheap, here for a Z with 110k miles it's ~20k$ ( around 18k€ )

[lone geyser]

and has been declared totalled 3 times over its existence

[azure flint]
