mercedes is the best out of the big 3

and the audi A4 is the most car looking car

[mossy sleet]

get this man a

[vestal garnet]

[kind osprey]

For me the most car looking car is the bmw 5 series

It has the most sedan proportions idk how to explain it tbh

The hood length, the wheelbase, the slope of the back etc

[mossy sleet]

what about 3 series from around the 2010 period

as jeremy clarkson once said, it is just 14 foot of car

[jagged sentinel]

The German big 3

[jagged sentinel]

For me it's either an older Ford fusion or the 90s-early 2000s jag xj

Those two especially, just... Disappear in traffic

Audi's AWD system

Or an audi model from the 80s with that name

shi i thought it was their SUV line

[jagged sentinel]

Their SUVs (there are multiple models) have Q in their name

[young breach]

yh ik, i thought that Q was for quattro 😭

[paper heath]

the AWD system got its name from the model afaik, first came the Audi Quattro in the 80s then they patented the technology and called it Quattro

afaik

[kind osprey]

Quattro was a system where they took their fwd cars and made them awd

Go go gadget tire de-beader

[keen rivet]

whats an actual good first car

[kind osprey]

Probably a Cadillac Escalade or a Mercedes amg e class

[kind osprey]

Depends largely on budget and what ability or resources you have to modify or fix it

My budget was like $3k

So I found an old Honda Accord for $800 and spent around $2500 fixing it

[silent oak]

If you can stomach an old accord or civic

[kind osprey]

Wdym?

They are incredibly reliable you don't need a lot to maintain them so anyone can really own one

[silent oak]

I don’t like the look

[silent oak]

If they made them in coupe / sporty form. Something that didn’t make you look like a poor college bitch

[urban pond]

i mean Accords came in coupes

and the V6 versions were fairly sporty as well

but i mean if hes going for a first car it doesnt really matter how it makes you look it gets you from A to B

if you can swing a 9th Gen accord 2012-2017 it should last you a long time

[silent oak]

Would it give me more value for money than challenger that’s been in my possession for a while?

[urban pond]

depends on what you value

performance wise no but reliability and resale yes

[silent oak]

I don’t intend on selling her..

She’s got me through AZ and driving all way north

[lone geyser]

Suki hates actually good cars

[silent oak]

If the accord had a inline 6 maybe

[kind osprey]

Lol

[silent oak]

I’d consider

[kind osprey]

It has a v6

[lone geyser]

some accords do v6

[silent oak]

Can you get custom interior ones?

I like my red on black

[lone geyser]

anything can have a custom interior if you just fucking build it yourself lmao

[silent oak]

I always spend extra on good interiors

[lone geyser]

i spent more than i paid for my rsx on a black interior swap

then then put in factory bmw speakers that cost almost as much as i paid for it 🥱

lemme repgrase that, the speakers were a 3k extra in 2003

[silent oak]

If the accord wasn’t so boring I’d be happy

[lone geyser]

RWD swap a prelude

[kind osprey]

A v6 accord is 270hp in a decently light sedan

It's peppy, not a sports car or anything

But it's not really slow

[lone geyser]

ive been busy busy

[silent oak]

Can I fit hellcat seats in it

[mossy sleet]

well crap

(not my picture but yes peugeot gave fault codes)

[rose sierra]

2nd times the charm lol

We half built it then something happend cant remember but we stripped it again then put it out the back and now we’re building it again wooo

[urban pond]

For what you can get I’d say it isn’t entirely boring

Like if you can find a V6 coupe with a 6 speed in it I’d say that’s a fair amount of fun

I’d argue it’s probably one of the one of interesting average V6 cars you can get. At least compared to a Camry or a Dodge. Or if you can get one of those Ford Fusions with the crazy 2.7L 6 Cylinder

[silent oak]

I’m a coupe kind of girl, and if I’m raising it’s gonna be a Durango

Never been a fan of 4 door sports cars except for the few ones like the 4 door trd Camry which has some style or a m series

[keen rivet]

i meant they aint good for first cars

they too fast and expensive

for someone who is now learning how to drive

[next cedar]

No just Running costs, tyres, fuel spend are higher and insurance

[next cedar]

Just get a yaris bro

[keen rivet]

gng u know how much it costs to buy one

[keen rivet]

and u just said that everything is higher

[next cedar]

It was satire obv

[keen rivet]

alr

[next cedar]

Those are too fast for beginners

[urban pond]

it really depends what your budget for a first car is

like a Regular Yaris, Corolla or a Civic is always an easy good choice

[next cedar]

In my opinion, just go on Facebook marketplace find a shit car from 500-1000
And just keep driving around your area

[kind osprey]

Looking for a practical new car, should I get a Ferrari f355 or Honda s2000?

[next cedar]

Just find a beater

[kind osprey]

500-1000 on marketplace = has no engine in it lmao. There are no deals online the best way to find a cheap starter car is to know somebody with a car they wanna get rid of and a little bit of luck tbh

[keen rivet]

saw u saw a message from idk yesterday, and decided to literally say some of the worst first cars to troll

[keen rivet]

alr

[kind osprey]

Because if someone is getting a new car after driving something run down but running, they will typically not get anything from a dealer trade in so you can take advantage of that and offer them next to nothing

[silent oak]

I’d rather own a motorcycle as a first vehicle but I degrees, cheaper and you get better insurance

[next cedar]

There is in uk
Its called dingers

[next cedar]

Bro that wasnt me

[urban pond]

for a first vehicle? nah

[keen rivet]

.

[silent oak]

It’s all if you’re comfortable with it ..

[kind osprey]

My friend from College was moving and getting a new rav4, so he sold me his 20 year old accord for only $800 if I got that on marketplace or a dealer online it would have easily been $3,000-$5,000

[kind osprey]

I will never drive a motorcycle on a public road, with how many idiots exist around me

[urban pond]

First vehicle usually implies novice driving and even if someone is comfortable with a motorcycle its not practical

[next cedar]

Out of those the Best balance for a first car is Seat Leon FR or Golf GTI

[silent oak]

That’s how I got my old civic I traded

[keen rivet]

wdym best for first car they are too expensive and fast

[next cedar]

@keen rivet are u uk

From

[keen rivet]

like if u said gold alr

[silent oak]

I hated that civic

[keen rivet]

but why gti for first car

[urban pond]

a normal Golf is perfectly fine but a GTI will absolutely fuck you on insurance if you're young

[silent oak]

It’s about what you can afford

[next cedar]

Idk ur budget

[urban pond]

its not even about affording the car itself its about affording the insurance and maintenance afterwards

[kind osprey]

If you are under retirement age and have any remotely interesting car, get ready for insurance to be an absolute scam

[silent oak]

I traded my shitty coupe civic in for a challenger rt 2016

[urban pond]

im planning on getting rid of my BRZ for a Z next

[kind osprey]

If they are making me pay the premium of a reckless driver, then I will be forced to drive it like I stole it, it's only fair

[keen rivet]

no its not, if u give someone who doesnt know how to drive a golf gti he gon kill himself

[silent oak]

I had a challenger rt at 22

[kind osprey]

A golf gti isn't that bad

What is it like 280hp?

You'd have to be kinda stupid to crash that

[silent oak]

Isn’t it fwd?

[kind osprey]

Awd I believe

[silent oak]

Never owned a wv

[kind osprey]

The lower trims are probably fwd

[silent oak]

Never liked em

[keen rivet]

yes but not first car

[silent oak]

I had a coupe civic

[urban pond]

depending on year

i think the most powerful one is 240hp FWD

[keen rivet]

and also its also how responsible someone is

[silent oak]

I traded it in at scrap yard for a private buyer who wanted it for a few thousand

Idc I don’t like civics

[kind osprey]

If I had a bigger budget I would have gotten a civic type r/Acura Integra type s as a first car

[urban pond]

Type Rs are good civics and the SI's arent bad either

[keen rivet]

if u give someone who doesnt jnow his limits a fast car he gon go fast

[silent oak]

I grew up with enough broke college bitches to see one on every street AAHHH

[next cedar]

How old u

[keen rivet]

not all ppl are responsible and skilled enough to have a fast car for a first car

[kind osprey]

Acura Integra type s is $54,000 though

I ain't paying all that

[silent oak]

The bug eyes?

[kind osprey]

A new one

[silent oak]

Or the shitty new ones

EWWWW

Bug eye integra ftw

[next cedar]

Buy a cheap car like used yaris
Then save for a second car when u are skilled enough

[keen rivet]

some guy i knew killed himself with his moms car when he didnt have a license at 18 and he had been driving from like 16

[urban pond]

new ones are a little overpriced but they're far from shitty

[kind osprey]

You're opinion is Hella skewed as usual 😂 the new one may not rev as high but they are a gorgeous revival

[silent oak]

@kind osprey knows im an American car fiend

[urban pond]

Yixuan would whip an Acura

[silent oak]

She’s Chinese, she’d whip around some vintage Chinese car

[urban pond]

nah she got the bird

[silent oak]

Pontiac firebird

[kind osprey]

I'd rather have Integra Type S looks wise over a lot of more expensive cars in that segment. M2, rs3, 440 etc

[urban pond]

Looks wise its good

my buddy's uncle has one

its in the nice dark blue

[silent oak]

IMO the bug eye integra is my vibe imo

[kind osprey]

And the car handles like it's on rails you don't even give af it is fwd because of how good the torque control and differential is

I have the regular manual a spec right now and even with only 200hp it does the job

[silent oak]

Do recommend a Tacoma as a winter car?

[kind osprey]

I like Tacomas but the newer ones are too big and too expensive

[silent oak]

I’m a northern us resident

I need big cuz you seen Dakotas snow?

my dad has a 2017 TRD Sport they're nice trucks and they hold theiir resale value insanely well

Also this if money comes out of your ass

You could probably copy this entire thing for the car price plus another $25k

[silent oak]

25k ..

That’s a lot of… things I could buy with that much

[kind osprey]

Well it's not small mods

this was at my buddy's place a few months back

his Uncle owns the Type S, His dad has the Blue on and he has the Black one

him and his dad both bought BRZs to build together

[kind osprey]

A group of very fun cars to drive

[silent oak]

Has anyone here owned an Escalade?

[kind osprey]

Garage of taste

[silent oak]

Or a Tahoe

[kind osprey]

👌

[urban pond]

i was planning on buying some of the Black Car's parts off of him but im selling soon anyways

[kind osprey]

Carbon fiber hood on a brz is overkill I'd admit tbh. $1500 cosmetic mod on a $27,000 car is some crazy activity

But they do look cool

[urban pond]

i mean nowadays any proper legit cosmetic mod is expensive

[silent oak]

What’s the most you spent on car cosmetics?

[urban pond]

about 80 bucks

[kind osprey]

They probably already did exhaust and suspension stuff already I assume

If they are doing cf hoods

[silent oak]

2.5k to 3k on a hellcat bumper for my baby

[urban pond]

hes got HKS Coilovers, a Carbon Rear Trunk and Ducktail, Taillights, Headlights, Headers and an Axle back on Enkei wheels

[kind osprey]

Damn

[urban pond]

as much as i want to mod my own BRZ im not doing it anymore

[kind osprey]

Brz vs Miata is a big thing I gotta figure out because they are both really good

[silent oak]

And that was just for 2, one front Bumper facia / rear. Plus all the labor I had ( monster energy)

[kind osprey]

But idk which one I would want

[urban pond]

2nd Gen BRZ is better

[kind osprey]

Miata's go crazy on the track

[urban pond]

but 1st gen BRZ i'd probably go with the Miata next time

anything with enough money dumped into it goes crazy on the track

but Stock for stock the BRZ wins

[silent oak]

Is the brz rwd?

[next cedar]

First car dude If Yaris prices are high, to look for:
• Toyota Aygo
• Hyundai i10 / i20
• Kia Picanto
• Honda Jazz
• Suzuki Swift
• VW Polo (older)

[silent oak]

I’m a huge rwd/ AWD girl

[kind osprey]

Seems most people who have extensively drove both say they like the steering feel and feedback of the new brz and the only thing they miss about the Miata was pedal placement and quality of interior materials

I wonder how they will be long term with reliability because that was a big reason I didn't get an older one for my first car

I would've loved like a 2014 with a lot of miles but my friend kinda talked me out of it because of the headaches he has seen at his old shop

[urban pond]

honestly first gen BRZs are super cheap

one on Bring a Trailer sold for 16,400 with only 46k miles on it

[kind osprey]

46k miles is pretty good

So basically try to avoid them over 100k I guess

[urban pond]

depends on how much it was cared for

[silent oak]

Hey nick convince to not get a old police charger

[kind osprey]

They are usually cheap rwd v8's

So like

Go off

[urban pond]

why would i old Police chargers are cool

[kind osprey]

😭

[urban pond]

hell i'd buy an old cop car if i had the money

[silent oak]

I want the AWD v8 hemi

Normally they never made AWD chargers with the hemi

[kind osprey]

So they are specifically trooper cars?

[silent oak]

HWP

I want a Cali HWP one

[urban pond]

nah get a Georgia HWP car

[silent oak]

They have anything different?

[urban pond]

no but you get a Check mark for each person that got ran off the road to their death

those fuckers in Georgia are brutal

like its legit NFS type shit they've got 5.0 Mustangs, Challengers and Camaros down there

[silent oak]

They are kill or be killed cops

[silent oak]

I prefer the Texas hellcat police car

[lone geyser]

allat for it to look like pretty much every other new acura car :/

rebadged tlx

i miss when car designs were different

[silent oak]

My favorite car design was a bel air from the 50s

But it’s not the best design for safety

[lone geyser]

neither is anything from the 50s

[silent oak]

Hemi in a bel air

[kind osprey]

The integra and the tlx have the same front logoish grille but everything else is different

The tlx feels lower stanced, more edges, sharper

The integra is like sleek and round and has a lot of nostalgic aspects to it that bring back the roots of the older gens

They are both really cool cars but I personally like the Integra type S because it is $12,000 cheaper than the tlx type s and it comes with a manual

[lone geyser]

i dont think "nostalgic integra type S" applies to 4 doors

[kind osprey]

They don't have a 2 door chassis and 2 doors don't sell well I don't blame them for just using the 11th gen civic type r chassis

It works, it's extremely rigid, and it's practical

The car is short yet somehow actually has decent back seats they really nailed it design wise

[lone geyser]

i mean yeah but if you look at it all the old teggys were 2 door hatches

[silent oak]

4 door. Acura’s are basic 2 doors r cool

[kind osprey]

Integras were reskinned civics, they came in wagon form hatch form coupe form sedan form any style under the sun

They had cloth mechanical seats

They weren't all performance oriented

[lone geyser]

ive had 2 integras lmao

i had DC2R and i have a DC5 right now

also i find it funny that honda cant make up their mind on what to do with the name "integra"

[kind osprey]

Like the little hints of the old but it's still a new car

[lone geyser]

its constantly changing exclusivity between badges

[kind osprey]

Honestly the only thing I would say I like about the old one objectively over the new ones are the rev hang and lower redline because it's a turbo now

8k rpm days were sweet

[lone geyser]

mine doesnt even get 8k

[kind osprey]

S2000 was the holy grail of that but the ap1's lacked low end torque

Sorta like the lotus elise and it's crazy high Toyota redline

[lone geyser]

i dont have true vtec though the k20a3 only had intake vtec

[kind osprey]

Is it like the ivtec one for fuel economy?

[lone geyser]

yeah

i need to get a k20a2 head and cams so i can have a true vtec a3

[kind osprey]

I wish I had a good place to work on cars I wouldn't mind a track toy or a project as a second car

My issue isvI wanted something newer for an a to b daily that wasn't boring as shit but couldn't be too expensive

[lone geyser]

i bought my dc5 as a daily and its ended up as my project car lmao

its been lowered 3" had an intake tossed in it, interior swapped and had the sound system upgraded

[kind osprey]

Civic si and intregra checked every box other than hp but who needs top speed when you live in the shithole I do lol

[lone geyser]

oh and a throttle body coolant bypass

i wana build up my dc5 but i need to sell my e46 and get something that i can drive while the teggys down

spedad has a 5 speed manual 91 toyota hilux pickup on his property that i kinda wanna buy

[urban pond]

to be fair thats just a case of automotive design throughout history

cars from the 50s and 60s mostly looked fairly similar to each other

[lone geyser]

i was gonna bring that up too, the true muscle era had a lot of very similar looking vehicles

another win for for like 1980-2010 ig lmao

[urban pond]

theres always going to be some oddballs that stand out but its the case with every decade with car design

like look at the 80s with how Sharp and flat some angles were on cars

[lone geyser]

boxy cars with the spaceship dashes ❤️

[silent oak]

I want an 80s dash custom

[urban pond]

but i do miss my old 80s shitbox that i had, i really wish i had put the money into it to get it fixed up

[lone geyser]

it was a little more than a rebadge it was marketing to gets mits into the us market but yeah

I hated that era of dodge

[lone geyser]

the current era is them constantly getting fucked over by mercedes lmao

[silent oak]

They buy outs by the stacks

[lone geyser]

they arent buying out anything but outdated tech

[silent oak]

The new charger is getting a hellcat

I like it

[lone geyser]

mercedes doesnt give them the new stuff they give it a generation after its relevant

[silent oak]

The new body style is a homage to the first gen dodge chargers,

[lone geyser]

Cough challenger

the new charger is shapped like a 2014 challenger.

still a pos

[steady cove]

Omg compact girl evolved to non compact girl its joever

[silent oak]

no charger

[steady cove]

Why is my vehicles chat so up high wtf

[silent oak]

The new charger is based on the older 69 and 70s model of the charger

[lone geyser]

no, you aint looked at the front ends of the new charger close enough

they have fat faces and not a neckbeard chin

[silent oak]

I said it’s an homage

[steady cove]

Hate the new electric charger

[lone geyser]

its a hunk of garbage

just like every dodge

[steady cove]

Nah the scatpacks are cool

And the hellcats

[urban pond]

im excited to see the Hurricane Engine tho

[silent oak]

That was a massive failure, they are putting gas engines in the new chassis

[lone geyser]

literally called a shit pack LMAO

[silent oak]

I love hellcats

I bought hellcat seats to replace mine

[steady cove]

I mean different people will like different things its ok

I think they are nice. But i wouldnt buy one

[urban pond]

im in the same boat i dont mind Challengers and Chargers i just dont like a good chunk of its community

[steady cove]

What about the e mach mustang

[silent oak]

Don’t call it a Mustang..

[steady cove]

It is a mustang tho

Kinda sad

[urban pond]

i dont mind it being called a Mustang because Ford still makes an S650

i'd have issues with it IF they discontinued the regular mustang

[lone geyser]

the rare occurence of when me and Suki agree on something, is that mach E

[steady cove]

Chevrolet is somehow they only brand that hasnt electrifyed their sports brands

[lone geyser]

glorified ford edge

[urban pond]

wdym? the E Ray exists

[silent oak]

If it was a Mustang I’d be a 2 door

[urban pond]

hell the fastest Corvette is a Hybrid

[silent oak]

Hybrid

It’s not full electric

[urban pond]

true but still electrifyed to an extent

[steady cove]

Yeah i meant completely ev

[urban pond]

some EVs i dont mind

[steady cove]

The corvette beeing electric and hybrid makes sense

I think

[urban pond]

ill never be in the market for an EV but some arent too bad

[steady cove]

Like having the option makes sense

[urban pond]

like the Lightning F150s

the Silverado EV kind of looks neat and thats really about it

[silent oak]

Those were cool, they didn’t try to be any more than EV truck

[steady cove]

The big trucks ev are nice yeah

They are also handy for work

[urban pond]

thats the thing i like when EVs do

[lone geyser]

yeah theres those of us who work on cars for a living (me)

and then people who like dodge

[urban pond]

i hate EV's that try and replicate the cool parts of Gasoline cars

[steady cove]

Arent dodges just simpler. I feel like you dont get bmws enough to hate dodges

[urban pond]

"hey guys we put cool engine sounds in our Hyundai Ionic 5 N"

[lone geyser]

dawg i OWN a bmw

Then why do you hate dodges

[urban pond]

theres always going to be a single car brand that mechanics despise working on

Fords werent bad to do oil changes on when i worked as a lube tech for a short while

except for some broncos where you needed like an oil wrench on 2 fucking extensions to reach in the wheel well

[silent oak]

Which bronco

[urban pond]

i think it was the sports?

[silent oak]

Sport or cool one

The normal bronco

[urban pond]

i cant entirely remember its been about 2 years

lifter tick, cheap plastic interiors for an absurd price, the same gauge style they've been using for 15 years, marketing high horsepower to stupid people who dont understand power/weight, the entire community surrounding them, constant transmission issues, inconsistent build quality, the ride like garbage, poor anti theft measures

[urban pond]

ill see later this month depending if i get interviews for jobs

[silent oak]

Can you sell me a Escalade or suburban

[urban pond]

you personally? no

[silent oak]

I got sold a dodge challenger at 22 I’m easy

It’s still working

3 years later

[urban pond]

"nah you dont want a Suburban you want this ZL1 Camaro on the back lot"

[steady cove]

Dont alot of bmws fall under those

[silent oak]

German cars

[steady cove]

Not all german cars tho

[lone geyser]

depends on the bmw, not mine

[silent oak]

How much you going to mark up on such an antiquated car

[steady cove]

True

[steady cove]

What bmw u own

[silent oak]

The Camaro is quite fucking antiquated but still cool

[lone geyser]

also for bmw's the reliability is very based on the engine

[lone geyser]

i have an 03 320i, e46
2.2l i6

[silent oak]

Anything BMW engine bad but the straight 6

[lone geyser]

this

they are the i6 company

[silent oak]

BMW should only have the i6

[lone geyser]

i agree

[silent oak]

I wouldn’t mind a Supra i6

Now that’s fucking cool

[steady cove]

Well older bmws anyways 😭

[lone geyser]

i see people constantly complain about bmw rerliability and they have like a 316/318i and its like man you bought a 4 cylinder 😭

[steady cove]

The new electrics are a nightmare or so i heard

[lone geyser]

i wouldnt touch anything past the F chassis cars with a 10 mile pole

them completely destroying the branding with the new grilles were too much

[steady cove]

😭

[silent oak]

The new grills kinda cool tho

[steady cove]

In china bmw people are beeing bullied bcs of their ev grills

Its so funny

[lone geyser]

of youd say that, you want a brand new m4 😭

[steady cove]

The new m4 or m3 arent the issue tho

[lone geyser]

they still have the lung grilles

and yknow BMW's slogan hasnt meant anything since like 2012

[steady cove]

When these exist u ll be happy with the bean grilles

Imagine you buy a series 7, luxury car.

[lone geyser]

still hate the bean grilles, Kidney grille superiority

[steady cove]

Just for the front bumper to be 80% grill

[lone geyser]

the kidney grilles are the old ones mans

[silent oak]

Yeh m4 modern front end is cool to me imo

I just like how it blends with the body

[lone geyser]

its the same as every other G car

aside from the m2 comp

[steady cove]

Yeah i meant the other long onew

Da long way

[lone geyser]

yeah the G cars grilles

[steady cove]

You can change those on the new ms tho

Theres really nice alternatives

[silent oak]

Do you know a brand that be hard to sell me on Volvo

I just can’t see myself in a Volvo of all cars

[lone geyser]

id get an old one like a 242 if i could retrofit the s60 seats in it

not the new s60

the 05 one

[silent oak]

I’d just get a 50s bel air and make it a project

[lone geyser]

i need to regress into just building hondas again, automotive lego

[silent oak]

My logic being I want a hemi in the bitch

I can source a 6.4 easy enough

[steady cove]

Some volvos are nice tho

Like the old ones

My family owned a 850 r at some point

Theres also the t5r

850r

We had the one with the big butt

[errant hazel]

tank

[dire shard]

alongside those, i still hold that volvos from 2005-2015 are hella awesome

i was staring at an s60 the other day, it just looked so good

and they still had the 5 cylinder

after 2017 they did that weird 4 cylinder twin turbo supercharged hybrid and it's sorta like ehhhh wtf? but everything before that was actually p awesome

[silent oak]

Can you drive a Volvo without lookin like boomer?

[rose sierra]

Hey hey nothing wrong with 4cyls lol

I mean haven’t had any issues with ours theyre the ol trusty

[lone geyser]

they are notoriously bad for failing on the e46 and newer, like any non i6 car past the e46

the e36 4 cylinder is just underpowered and less smooth

and they dont have much aftermarket support compared to the sixers

[rose sierra]

Yeah i dont seem to find too much shit for them

[rose sierra]

Ah yeah nah never touched one of them lol

I need to build my own car like I’ve helped dad build so many i needa work on my one lol

But it doesn’t have any wiring cant be fucked dealing with that so gonna buy another

Thinking of an e30

[loud spade]

that doesn't look that bad

maybe I just got used to it after so many years

[young breach]

the X7 is a fuckin ship

[sharp wing]

this car is a beauty

[steady cove]

They look better irl

The cameras make them look weird idk why

One of my dreams is to own a 740 or a 850 at some point

Theres this really nice 740

But 10000 is a bit steep for a 300k km car

But its SO nice

It does have a snail tho so ig it makes more sense

[lone geyser]

@kind osprey spoils for the acura today

[kind osprey]

Mmm yummy cam soup

[lone geyser]

K20A2 cams

A dude bought seats off me this morning and told of if an undocumented civic si at the scrapyard

Ive never loaded up my tools so fast 🤣

[kind osprey]

Lol sweet

[lone geyser]

I just need an a2 head and kpro now and then i have a true vtec k20a3

[dire shard]

"undocumented civic si at the scrapyard" is some manga plot shit

he dropped a huge hint

[jagged sentinel]

https://www.carscoops.com/2026/01/the-honda-prelude-is-getting-crushed-by-more-powerful-rivals-as-sales-trickle-in/

Next up we'll be inspecting the sky to verify that its visible light wavelength is between 450 and 500 nanometers

[static gale]

174 is wack

[kind osprey]

Ikr that's like 150 more than I thought it would be

[silent oak]

Hello car chat

[silent oak]

HA the shitty lookin prelude

I never liked its appearance and how it was marketed

[urban pond]

the new Prelude looks cool it just was designed to fail

its more expensive than BRZ's GR86s, MX5s, Base Model Zs and Golf Rs

[silent oak]

It’s more expensive than an used charger

And used chargers are decent

[urban pond]

its not even the used market in question either tho which sucks even more

the Prelude was a waste of a good design on a boring drivetrain

hell i wished i would have waited for the used market i would have skipped my BRZ entirely and upgraded to the Z i want

[silent oak]

I hate they marketed the gimicks more than the car

[lone geyser]

he was looking at my car and i mentioned that i needed a2 heads

and then he told me about this illegal civic lmao

shame i couldt get more off that civic, i wanted the entire top end but one bolt stopped the entire process

otherwise i would have brought home a head, true vtec cams, high flow intake mani and a new throttle body

[kind osprey]

@urban pond Yea the prelude is a masterclass at how NOT to release a vehicle. They don't know their buyer, they don't know their market, their class category, and their price point.

And all the Honda dealers under the sun are fucking scumbags with those insane prices

$9000 markups for a regular ahh car

If you markup a $47,000 type r $7000, I may aswell get the Acura Integra type s for $53,000 with no markup which is a lot easier to find at msrp than a type R

It's so dumb

[urban pond]

the Prelude would have been cool if it was an alternative to the Civic SI

like give it the Si's 1.5L

[kind osprey]

I don't even mind the hybrid thing they are trying to do, but they probably shouldn't have debuted it in the prelude

They should have made the prelude have a manual option and debuted the transmissionless hybrid thingy in a high trim civic

[silent oak]

Honder salespeople can barely sell it

[urban pond]

it doesnt help the mark up either

[silent oak]

If your salesmen can sell a person on buying it good

Can they afford it no

It’s easy to get someone hooked

But hard when the price is so high

[urban pond]

like its not even comparable either

a Prelude VS a New BRZ tS

[silent oak]

minimum 30k imo

Most I’d pay for one

[urban pond]

cool design just bad price and engine

[silent oak]

Yeah not my style imo it’s Honda so I automatically think the interior is shit

[kind osprey]

$59,000?!?!

What are they SMOKING

[urban pond]

this is also canadian too

[kind osprey]

Ohh

[silent oak]

Clearly some hipster weed

[kind osprey]

Ok so that's like $43k so it's regular overpriced msrp lol

[silent oak]

How much is it in freedom

[kind osprey]

It's $59k cad

$43k usd

If somebody was actually buying a prelude for 59k usd I'd take their money kick them in the balls and buy a bmw m2

[silent oak]

That’s a lot of money..

They better give it a decent interior

[kind osprey]

The interior is really nice

Especially for a Honda

But it better be for how much it is

[silent oak]

I assume Honda = trash interior

[kind osprey]

The only customer base the new prelude appeals to are old people with no sense of value for what they are getting

[kind osprey]

Not the new ones

[urban pond]

Honda interiors are fine its more of fords that are the issue

[silent oak]

Is it wrong I would drive an old CRV AWD?

[kind osprey]

Acura is obviously nicer but even Hondas are pretty good. They only cheap out on creature comforts and little tech things

Crv's are nice

[silent oak]

What era is bad for Honda?

Gimmie a good CRV AWD that is good for anything that my baby challenger can’t do

[kind osprey]

Honestly no era of Honda has horrible interiors, a better word for them is lack luster. They offer little to no goodies, but build quality is solid

My 2004 accord had heated leather powered seats

To get that now you'd probably need to get an Acura

[silent oak]

I don’t like accords boring reputation

I want a car with a decent rep

[kind osprey]

2008-2017 accords > same year period of Camry's

By a country mile

Only the more recent accords are boring cars

[urban pond]

i dont think Accords are entirely super interesting but i wouldnt say they're entirely boring either

[kind osprey]

The v6 accord is one of the highest powered npc cars

[silent oak]

I like the early crvs

They have a good charm to their design

They are basic cars yeah but AWD means good for me

[kind osprey]

The average basic ahh car is like a 150hp 4 cylinder so stepping it to a 270hp v6 is night and day

[urban pond]

10th Gen Accords were really nice for what they are

[silent oak]

I want at minimum 200 hp

[urban pond]

hell the 10th gens had K20s in them

[silent oak]

Not an eco slush box

[kind osprey]

Yea that's what mine is, 200hp but it weighs 3060 pounds

So I don't mind

Most suvs get 300hp but weigh over 4200

[silent oak]

I need the weight on my car to get it pushing through snow

[kind osprey]

So I am not missing out

[urban pond]

honestly horsepower isnt entirely a make or break anymore

balance is more fun

[kind osprey]

I would much rather focus on suspension, handling, and transmission over hp and 0-60 because there is nowhere to even go fast here

I would love a Lotus Elise or Alfa Romeo 4c, both have less than 250hp

But would outdo Porsche's on most canyons

[urban pond]

even just the lower trim Caymans are cool

[kind osprey]

Yea those are also solid canyon carvers

[silent oak]

So what can I do to make a CRV less civilian

[kind osprey]

You just gotta get the right trim and year

[urban pond]

i'd be fine with something like a Cayman S really

[urban pond]

get an imported one

[kind osprey]

A daily car doesn't have to be extremely interesting

[silent oak]

I want a lift kit tho

[urban pond]

when i was at ford one of the salesman had an Imported CRV and an Imported Honda Beat

[kind osprey]

My cars only interesting feature is that it has a manual and that is only interesting to the US

Europe has those everywhere

https://tenor.com/view/mitsubishi-delica-l300-4x4-mud-gif-21051627

Like this?

😂

[kind osprey]

Omg a beat

I wish we got the modern version here in the US

The s660 is so cool looking

[silent oak]

I don’t want a manual daily car

[urban pond]

maybe ill import one in 2030

[silent oak]

It sounds more of a hassle

[kind osprey]

If I had the money I'd find a way to import one and swap the powertrain to a 1.5 from an si or a fit

Give it like 130-170hp

It would fly

[urban pond]

im more leaning into a Fit for my next car

[kind osprey]

Fits are great

[urban pond]

the one upside to Canada is we have a 15 year limit vs USAs 25

[kind osprey]

Crazy practical cars with amazing aftermarket stuff

[urban pond]

so i can import a decent 2011 Honda Fit rn for like 7-11k CAD

[kind osprey]

Fuck the 25 year rule it is so fucjing outdated and backwards

[urban pond]

next year or 2028 we'll be able to import first gen 86s

which i'd absolutely buy for a daily

[silent oak]

I want to import a Japanese Toyota century

Now that’s a real car

[dire shard]

why would you, though

they're like, 1.5m jpy

by the time you add on all the import costs, probably 1.7m

converted to cad, you could just buy an frs/brz in roughly the same condition here* anyway
*though, not sure where you are, depending on where you are your examples might be rusted through from salt lol, but in that case you're probably still better off buying one from vancouver than importing one from japan

but it'd be lhd

unless larping being inconvenienced having an rhd car is your objective

[lone geyser]

60k for thatis crazy dawg

at that point just buy a showroom quality bb6 type S

[silent oak]

Hey Kate?

How do you feel about the 8
Series bmw?

[urban pond]

Literally. Honda fucking themselves over twofold

[lone geyser]

which chassis

[silent oak]

M8 f91

The drop top as the kids say

[lone geyser]

the drop top would rip and leak, youd want the robo roof

[silent oak]

Was that a problem on that gen?

[lone geyser]

thats a global problem for modern soft tops

[silent oak]

I wouldn’t own a soft top in any rain state

[lone geyser]

the mechanisms slip and bite the roof

[silent oak]

Dodge had contracted a custom company for their convertibles

[lone geyser]

otherwise idk the m8's make cool sounds, obv bmw non i6 reliability hit there but

[silent oak]

BMW should make an i6 rally car

[lone geyser]

they kinda did?

[silent oak]

A modern WRC

[lone geyser]

they had the e30 m3 in the 80s as their car for their team

[silent oak]

I know WRC is for boomers/ millennials who watched group b footage

WRC isn’t that big in the US

[lone geyser]

doubt they'd manage to run a modern car in it ngl

bmw lost the plot for everything forever ago

[silent oak]

BMW only is own for m series performance wise

[lone geyser]

they make some cool shit here and there but most of the time they're just trying to hang onto a lost era

[silent oak]

Have you seen the 2025 Csl, it’s kinda cool

[dire shard]

the m8 uses the same engine as in the f90 m5
never hear a whole lot bad about it, i think typically it's the n63 and first one or two iterations of the s63 that likes to explode
by s63tu3 i think they've fixed most of the old issues

[lone geyser]

the new cars are fun to drive but the bmw experience was the raw driving feel, and they havent been able to deliver that in ages

[lone geyser]

idk about the newer non sixes but yeah in the older ones anything that wasnt a sixer was was signing your wallet away

you wanted a 4 cylinder? great heres a worse honda that'll blow up in an hour and have worse gas mileage than the i6 😂

[silent oak]

Aren’t all bmws just signing your wallet away

[lone geyser]

yes, no, kinda?

[dire shard]

their i6's aren't that bad, but yeah

[dire shard]

i mean it is a worse honda who buys a 4cyl bmw

[lone geyser]

i didnt say they were, im shit talking the i4's

[dire shard]

yes, responding to suki

[lone geyser]

inline 6 is the only real bmw

[silent oak]

Mijuuuuuuuuuuuuuu your right, the bmw i4s are TERRIBLE

if you want an i4 get a shitty civic

[dire shard]

sad e90 sounds

[lone geyser]

who the hell buys an e90 m3 when you can get an e92

[silent oak]

You can tell my distain to civics every time mention it

[lone geyser]

its the same car just cooler

aside from the rarity of the e90 m3

[dire shard]

don't @ my sedanmobile!!

[lone geyser]

the e92's came in sedans too

[silent oak]

M3 e90 cool

[lone geyser]

just not the m cars

[dire shard]

the e90 is the sedan

[silent oak]

If your gonna buy a big money bmw buy m series

[dire shard]

nuh uh, i'm putting my money into that new prelude, gonna be a 1/175 fr

rare car

[lone geyser]

basically with bmw's if buying new its dependant on the car and you as the owner

if you buy used its dependant on how much you wanna gamble the last 19 owners taking car of it (plot twist they didnt)

[silent oak]

So like any used car

Just like used Subaru..

[lone geyser]

yeah but crank the unreliability factor up to like 11

only way you're gonna get a well maintained older bmw is because its got an M badge on it

[silent oak]

And your paying 3-4x on it

[lone geyser]

your paying like 10k less than it was worth new

[silent oak]

Always buy collectible cars from Cali

[lone geyser]

the e46 m3 started at 46.5k back in 03

theres on on marketplace near me right now for 25k

[silent oak]

I want an srt 8..

[lone geyser]

that 46k back in 2003 is like 81k in todays money

[silent oak]

to bad it’s too expensive

I found an srt 8 for 16k..

[pine nest]

My biggest car related confession is that i actually really like the fake sounds the ev dodge makes

[silent oak]

Don’t say that to a dodge fan

[dire shard]

don't say that to any car fan

i don't think the ev people would claim you either

i think the ev charger fake sounds are way too loud

[buoyant shard]

Lol

[dire shard]

for a sound that you don't actually have to screw up your exhaust for, by default it's actually loud enough that i feel my body shaking because of it

a regular unmodified v8 challenger isn't nearly that loud

probably intentional because it's not like you can put an exhaust on your ev to make it louder, but it's just weird the external speakers can rumble my body from stock

[lone geyser]

having a case where even the EV people reject you is fucking crazy ngl 😭

[silent oak]

Unless they are hipsters

"Hey, cool car."

[static gale]

"OHMYGAWD LOOK AT THE CUTE LITTLE THING 😍 "

[jagged sentinel]

Is this the Tokyo auto salon

[dire shard]

yeah

[lament flicker]

well it is a 6mt…

[kind osprey]

That's one of around the 5 factors driving the price up that high

Manual r8's go for like $70k-$80k everyday but this one is the final year of the gen and a v10

So it's like the holy grail of old r8's

I honestly like the old r8 design over the new one it was so unique and the newer ones 2016 and onwards kinda just look like a regular rs model audi that was sat on and lowered

It doesn't look bad but the older r8's just had a cooler style

[mental lion]

The old design was so good they couldn’t improve on it

[kind osprey]

https://youtu.be/9HWpL_SeV5Q?si=OJ8bkQIhooRRiFU8

This is a really cool video, It's insane to see how far he's come, and that he still buys and repairs the old shit cars that got him famous in the first place till this very day. He found a decent condition 300sl and went on a tour with it and about 30 other 300sl's and half the video is them being repaired in parking lots because they are 70 years old and falling apart lmao

Shit like this makes me wanna win the lottery like imagine being able to wake up and do a 1000 mile tour in a classic like that along massive beautiful West Coast canyon roads, and have a sprinter van with spare parts closely following when something eventually breaks 😭

[urban pond]

I guess John Cena has one now lmao

[dire shard]

https://www.kkinstagram.com/reel/DS-mh3kAWmx

he made the funny engine sound funny too

[kind osprey]

See, he's worth like a gazillion dollars so the fact that it is stupidly overpriced doesn't matter

It's still a decent car with really planted suspension and 200hp, but so is a $6000 Acura from 20 years ago

[urban pond]

it also doesnt help that hes literally a honda brand ambassador too

[kind osprey]

Like if somebody gave me a prelude for free I probably wouldn't be disappointed by it, but for the money there are so many other better and more interesting cars

[urban pond]

if i was allowed to trade it in i wouldnt be disappointed

[urban pond]

Cause I’d go for a Maverick hybrid AWD if I was allowed to trade in the prelude

[loud spade]

Wow

It sounds more supercharged than turbo

And I love it

[dire shard]

yeah you'd hear the supercharger more since it's there at lower rpms to make up for the turbo lag

i still think this is a really stupid engine setup that is just begging for parts to fail, but you gotta admit, having both supercharger whine and bfv in one car sounds kinda cool

Not wanting to be a hater

Oh my, I'm really evil

A cousin of mine is selling her car and wants an SUV which is reliable and cheap to maintain. When she asks for suggestions, I just told her to buy a Range Rover

[loud spade]

Fine british enigneering

[old sedge]

It towed a train too, so why not?

[lone geyser]

so you suggested her the complete opposite of what she asked for

👏

[old sedge]

I don't like her so

[jagged sentinel]

@empty niche we got the toy cars from Burnout Paradise irl before gta 6

[empty niche]

pocket rocket goes truly pocket-sized with the toy R32

[dire shard]

you have weird vacuum cleaners

[dire shard]

it is a normal inline 4 but twin turboed

[kind osprey]

Atp you have the weight and fuel cost of an inline 6

So just use a 6

[dire shard]

but with worse reliability!

i don't get it either

[quasi lava]

I appreciate the pettiness

[lone geyser]

Thats fair

[silent oak]

Give her a jag

More electrical problems than fucking Range Rover

[lone geyser]

I have started with the racecar shit

[old sedge]

Oh, she lives in a mountainous place where she might need something rugged for off-roading after all, so Range Rover could be the car she needs, right?

[old sedge]

If that doesn't work, my next suggestion to her would be Ford Explorer or a Ford Everest/Endeavour, a Ford SUV based on Ford Ranger in terms of engine and chassis

[rich anvil]

Marketing

[jagged sentinel]

If she wants to deal with the awful maintenance

But this is the one you don't like very much right

[old sedge]

Yup

[unborn quiver]

If anyone has Ocelot lynx on LEGACY version PC. Tag me

[jagged sentinel]

Wrong channel

[old sedge]

Why don’t they make hybrid cars which can still run on electricity even if the engine has empty gas tank and can be charged via plug?

[silent oak]

Hybrids don’t sound good imo

[dire shard]

they do

i believe the volt can do it, as well as all of mitsubishi's phev's

[silent oak]

Pheb

[dire shard]

not all phevs are built equal, someone did a real world test in the ford kuga hybrid where he drove it to the point where it ran out of gas and then shut it off

it didn't allow him to turn it back on without gas in the car

but in general, if you for some asinine reason plan on emptying your car's engine and still expect to drive it, you should probably forego the phev and just buy a full ev

[silent oak]

PHEVSs are electrical hazards?

Since you don’t want to mix gas with anything flammable

[dire shard]

you don't want to mix gas with anything flammable

the humble sparkplug: allow me to introduce myself

[silent oak]

Hmm spark plug tasty

Why does it taste like gone off cola

[old sedge]

The unique hybrid I know so far which exists here is the engine doesn’t power the wheels at all

Its sole purpose is to charge the battery. The power to move the car solely relies on battery

[dire shard]

EREV

it just uses a tiny engine as a generator
the mazda mx-30 does this, mazda designed a whole new rotary engine just to act as a generator for a crossover

well

actually, the outlander uses their fucking 2.4L to do it 😭 mitsubishi pleeaaaase

there's also a hybrid that doesn't directly drive wheels at all

subaru's newest generation of forester uses toyota's hybrid tech, but where toyota has always attached motors to it, subaru actually integrated the hybrid system into their existing symmetrical all wheel drive system

it's entirely an assist, rather than replacing an axle like most hybrids do

Toyota finally making a car

I don't remember when was the last time they dropped a new name

GT86?

LFA?

[loud spade]

That looks sick

[kind osprey]

I did not realize how heavy this car would be Holy crap

[naive thorn]

the battery

[kind osprey]

Everything's gotta be a bulky hybrid I guess :/

[naive thorn]

is it a plug in hybrid

[kind osprey]

Idk but how are they only getting 650hp out of a twin turbo v8 with extra power from a motor

It must be a really small hybrid component solely for acceleration or something

[naive thorn]

yeah

[kind osprey]

Hopefully they hit that target weight or get it lower

Rooting for this thing to be pretty cool

Don't wanna have another m5 situation

5500 pound ahh hippo car

[dire shard]

the m5 had the excuse of having four doors

💀

granted, the (old) amg gt has 3.6k

without a hybrid system

[obtuse urchin]

Let’s just say i love that car

[obtuse urchin]

HOT

[onyx rivet]

BZ4X

[loud spade]

That’s one way to express yourself 💀

[obtuse urchin]

i..

[silent oak]

Wha

[obtuse urchin]

Idk

[silent oak]

I found a 1k Toyota Avalon

[obtuse urchin]

That seems like a bargain

[silent oak]

Yeah it is

I don’t got 1k in cash and I’m
Too lazy to drive to bank to withdraw

[steady cove]

WHY ARE CARS SO EXPENSIVE

[night steeple]

trying to look at eagle talons to reference their claws

doug demuro randomly makes a cinematic masterpiece

[steady cove]

And im gonna pay it full by myself

If its something on the head i may have to sell my kidney

[dire shard]

where's the doug score

wtf

[kind osprey]

What dumbass mf thinks this will actually sell for $45,000

Maybe $45k aud or cad lmaoo

Just get a new one atp jesus

[sage roost]

was the msrp even 45k lol??

[silent oak]

God you could get much more interesting of a car than a civic for 45k

That’s close to 30k usd

[loud spade]

Give it to me I’ll take care of it instead of your broke ahh

[mossy sleet]

god back in the day you could get a fully loaded brand new car for this kinda money

i mean this is probably loaded but still, 4 years old, second hand, nahhh

no wait fah i thought it was an type R its just a touring

wait no it is a type R

sorry for this useless rant i just came out of a brain deadening exam

[proven thistle]

My office

[loud spade]

Is the truck your office

[kind osprey]

The new version of this car is $45,000

The person putting this 6 year old car up for 45k is simply just on drugs

[mossy sleet]

yes

[kind osprey]

Idc if it has 2 miles on the odo that car ain't 45k

[mossy sleet]

yes

if it aint new it aint worth what a new cars "worth"

[kind osprey]

In rarer cases that happens

But this absolutely isn't one of them lol

[mossy sleet]

yes

[proven thistle]

Yes

[silent oak]

Could I get an older corvette for that money yes..

[urban pond]

new Civic type Rs are like 55k MSRP im pretty sure

no wait nvm they are like 45k wtf i didnt realize they were that cheap in the US

but i will admit they have awesome transmissions probably one of the smoothest Manuals i've driven

[mental lion]

More like 60

[kind osprey]

If you pay 60k usd for a civic type r it better come with a buttplug

Imagine accepting a massive markup from a stealership

[mental lion]

Blame the people who are buying

[kind osprey]

That doesn't exist anymore

That was like the first month it came out

I've seen more people get them for msrp than people getting them for over 5k over

Majority maybe pay 2-3k at most depending on the area

[mental lion]

Why did this one go for this much tho

[urban pond]

As per usual with Japanese cars Yellow for some reason is a limited edition colour

its apparently a 1 of 1000th

[kind osprey]

A few things, it's brand new, in a special color, and last but most importantly it is on an auction site. Idiots with more money than god will bid up anything

[urban pond]

or 1/600 or 1/100th if you're canadian like me

[kind osprey]

Look at these assholes buying Enzos for $17,000,000

That was a $4.5 million dollar car 2 Sundays ago

That is moreso international money laundering not so much stupidity or ignorance though

But it still fucks enthusiasts over

[urban pond]

also 52k for a Rare spec FK8 with only 30 miles isnt that bad actually

thing probably could have been sold for at least 60k+

[kind osprey]

You're paying for the rarity, only someone who is a nut for that car will justify that but a lot of people exist who would

[urban pond]

from what i recall theres one for sale here in Canada but dealership was asking stupid ass prices for it

[kind osprey]

Same thing as the 2015 r8 going for more than a Lamborghini Huracan. It just checked all the right boxes

Manual, crazy low miles, paint to sample

It was a sorta one of one

Like corvette cornballs type of 1 of 1 lol

[urban pond]

[mental lion]

1of 1 that day

[urban pond]

in terms of colour i'd take Boost Blue over the Yellow

[mental lion]

Bruh

[urban pond]

FL5s are nuts here in terms of price because you cant order them from the dealer

[kind osprey]

Wait Manhattan Motorcars bought that civic and flipped it for $90k?

Why tf does Manhattan motorcars deal with civics

Since when 😭

[urban pond]

its a sub branch apparently

[kind osprey]

Oh it's cad

So $62k for a last gen civic

[urban pond]

they've got like 3 Civics on their website

[mental lion]

It’s in yellow tho

[kind osprey]

Still nutty but if someone with a dumb amount of money wants a new 5 year old car that is a way to go I guess

[mental lion]

Yellow cars go for a premium these days
