I have saving money for a new car-

swift olive
#

510 hp tho is super cool

silent oak
#

I want an el Camino or ford ranchero

#

The el Camino is just a pickup chevelle

swift olive
#

Oh that's a collection car not a daily I guess

silent oak
#

I live in the Midwest

swift olive
#

prayge with the current gaz prices it's just SadCatThumb

swift olive
#

I respect that FeelsNeatMan

#

I would say a Mustang is cool for me as the next car

silent oak
#

I wouldn’t mind an integra tho

#

Those are sweet cars

swift olive
silent oak

#

Dark horse cool as hell for sure

#

I’d probably still pick the GT500 over it but if I could have both I would

silent oak
#

They sound badass

pseudo charm
#

Haven’t seen a Dark Horse yet unfortunately but I’ve seen plenty of GTs

#

They’re really nice cars I love em

silent oak
#

70k~

pseudo charm
#

In terms of pure performance probably not

#

I’ve seen some low mileage used ones for under $60K but GT350s are around that price range too and should be faster

silent oak
#

Plus I prefer the dark horse look

pseudo charm
#

Yeah I think they look really good

#

Honestly thinking about it they probably are one of the best options for their class/price range

silent oak
#

Aren’t they close to hellcats?

pseudo charm
#

I’d pick a C7 ZO6 and Shelby GT500 over it but outside of that it’s probably the best option

silent oak
#

I buy cars based on looks imo

pseudo charm
silent oak
#

What trim

pseudo charm
#

5th Gen

silent oak
#

I like the wide body jailbreak

pseudo charm
#

Iirc 5th Gen Hellcats should be in the 60-80K price range depending on year and mileage

silent oak
#

Idk if I could even afford a dark horse with 2 jobs

#

I could afford a good el Camino with that money

pseudo charm
#

If you go by the 30% rule you gotta be making like 250K a year to afford the Dark Horse in a year

silent oak
#

I’m making a mechanics / part time bartender wage

swift olive
swift olive
#

no, I mean the Dark Horse

silent oak
pseudo charm
#

Yeah I’ve seen some for a little under $60K with roughly 20-30K miles

silent oak
#

I paid 15k in cash for my rt

#

She’s still driving

pseudo charm
#

Give it another 5 years when they depreciate to 30-35K

#

Granted they’ll probably have like 60K+ miles but some labor doesn’t hurt right

swift olive
#

haha then it's time to get a BYD lol

silent oak
#

The snow would ground me for the winter

#

The black hills are a mystery

swift olive
#

that's unfortunate

silent oak
#

Anyways I’ll go looking for a cheap el Camino or ford ranchero

#

I want a “farm car”

pseudo charm
#

Yeah as cool as the Dark Horse is and how much I’d love to have one it wouldn’t be a smart choice anyways

#

Where I live the gas prices are insane and it pisses rain for like 75% of the year

#

Gas went from 4.89/gal to 5.69/gal in a week

swift olive
#

the 10th-generation Honda Accord 2.0T would be a smart choice

#

i'm still looking

silent oak
#

How about something old like an older Mercedes

pseudo charm
#

10th gen 2.0Ts are cool yeah

swift olive
#

I drove one and it feels like an Audi

pseudo charm
#

Although I’ve heard they have head gasket issues

swift olive
#

this is still a beast

#

In this episode, we review my own Mercedes E55 AMG W211 from 2006.
This was the fastest production saloon ever made, the question is if this is the car that started the horsepower war between BMW, Audi and Mercedes?

Was this the perfect car, or was it too expensive?

#

Current Gen Civic Si is also pretty cool

#

Tons of tunes to bump it up to around 250-260 hp and you’ve got a fun little daily driver

swift olive
#

It offers 228 horsepower with a manual transmission

#

I did not like the back look tho

#

Civic looks better imo

rose sierra
#

Front kinda reminds my of one of those porsche suv type things namean

#

Porsche cayenne? Dunno not a porsche person

swift olive
#

especially the headlights

rose sierra
#

I do see that yes

#

It kinda looks like a couple of different cars mushed into 1

#

Maybe im just tripping but damn

pseudo charm
#

Tunes for BRZs and GR86s should also bring it up to ~250hp from what I’ve seen and they’re RWD as opposed to FWD

#

I also think it looks better than the Civic but that’s me

swift olive
pseudo charm
#

450 in a BRZ is genuinely insane

#

Literal rocketship

swift olive
#

yes it was insane beating Mustangs and other V8s

It's a good second car

#

Stuff like the si, integra, and type r/s are still excellent cars around corners and the diffs and suspension setups in those cars mitigate most of the downsides of fwd

But some people will greatly prefer rwd

people have been fitting a set of 4 tires and wheels, or a whole ass bicycle, in the back of their BRZs

the first gen was even better in that regard because the trunk had a bigger opening, but you can still manage it on the second gen

What I'll say will make people in Philippines angry even if this is not a ragebait. If people cannot reverse park their cars without outside assistance even with enough space, then they don't deserve their driver's license

#

Same goes to those who can't navigate without turning front seat passenger into "co-driver" and blame him when things go wrong because he didn't assist the driver

#

I still see people irl who require outside assistance or spotter when parking their vehicles in mall parking lots

I don't think it was implied as such, just them speaking on what they've personally seen

old sedge
# languid mica haha

Well, a driver’s license should be a proof of competence to operate the appropriate vehicle type in the license, after all. If a driver can’t park alone properly, then he should just undergo retraining

Yea the backup camera is great for assistance but it should never be something someone finds necessary to drive

#

It's great fir backing up to the exact point you want or parallel parking in a tight spot

@frank zodiac Are you asking like how to you know when to turn out of a spot in a parking lot when you have a car on both sides

If so then usually once you go past your cars B pillar (the beam between the front door and the rear door) you can male a full turn in either direction

It's $66034.14 here and that's not even the Nismo

Honestly at that price it is worth it compared to the Supra

Higher trim inline 6 supras are almost 60k

Even if they are a year or two old and have a few miles

I’ve seen used ones with really low miles in the low-mid 30K range

The 2.0T I’ve heard is really solid and the J35s are absolutely bulletproof

Can get fairly low-mid mileage 9th Gen V6 Accords for like $20-25K ish. And they’re quick

Higher mileage ones are $10-15K for around 100K miles but for a Honda that’s pretty much nothing

Nissan often offers a huge discount for Z here

#

It makes the price gap between a Subaru WRX 2.4 and Nissan Z non-Nismo almost negligible

#

And in fact, this makes Subaru WRX TS 2.4 more expensive than the Z. Would this make Z a better choice?

I'll probably go with Z because it suits my personality

And I always hated driving for relatives and family members anyway

And since Philippines has no snow, I wouldn't need an AWD

At some point you need to innovate somehow on your interiors. You can’t have the same interior design for so long,

You've never heard of this Hyundai luxury sedan -- but the 2002 Hyundai Equus rivaled the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Today, I'm reviewing the rare, little-known first-generation Equus to show you all the weird quirks and cool features of the unknown ori...

The Korean Century lol

#

Atleast the century came first

kind osprey
#

All roads lead to Lexus ls400

silent oak
#

V12 Toyota- they wouldn’t dare anymore cuz it’s not viable

old sedge
#

Last time I went to a provnice, we had to traverse through unfinished roads where there are many rocks which could hit the underside of a WRX, Z and other sports cars

silent oak
#

I mean they also did a century with a v8

old sedge
#

Like is it really hard to finish the damn road?

silent oak
#

The g60 third gen century is sexy

#

Rolls Royce but for Japanese

old sedge
#

Wow

silent oak
#

It probably weighs about the same

old sedge
#

Anyway, some people think the auto start/stop engine function is unnecessary and just causes more stress on starters and potentially the engine itself

silent oak
#

The century is the car you drive when you have a pretty secretary in the back seat

old sedge
#

Here? No

#

The latest Nissan Patrol here has it

silent oak
#

It sounds cool

old sedge
#

Nope

#

It's Nissan's answer to rival the Toyota Land Cruiser

silent oak
#

(I’m looking for a used century online )

#

God I want one

#

In performance? It should be

silent oak
#

So is it like the Nisan safari to the hilux

#

I love the safari

#

It’s so old fashioned

#

So glad my car allows me to turn this off permanently

silent oak
kind osprey
#

The integra does the civic doesn't

#

Rip

silent oak
#

I fucking hate it when the stop start turns off on an intersection

kind osprey
#

It's even worse in manual cars because it feels like you're stalling for a sec

silent oak
#

They say it saves gas- my ass it doesn’t, it’s a nominal amount of gas

old sedge
#

So it's true that the auto start/stop system is useless which causes harm

kind osprey
silent oak
#

So I can avoid

#

My dodge has it-

kind osprey
#

My guess is like 2017

#

Idk

#

Tbh

old sedge
#

It also says that battery lifespan gets reduced if it's on

silent oak
#

My 2016 has it

#

So it has be 2016-2017 adoption

#

My 1970 Pontiac Firebird doesn't have auto start stop and a giant center carplay tablet. So today we're gonna install them!

silent oak
#

Like a digital gauge cluster

kind osprey
#

The older Porsche's have factory carplay units they are small but look period correct and very fitting

silent oak
old sedge
kind osprey
#

I like it for the music, navigation, and speed cameras

#

If I'm in a place with no speed cameras and a v10 engine I wouldn't mind not having carplay lol

silent oak
kind osprey
#

The Porsche one is probably like $1500-$2000 because it is fitted for the car but regular ones are like $200-$700

old sedge
#

There's no debate in here, it really is cutting corners at your expense.

kind osprey
#

The carplay actually goes in where the old radio was from factory it looks neat

#

Just really small lol

silent oak
kind osprey
#

It makes the older cars a lot more user friendly though

silent oak
#

I hate when people say no tech in cars but they suddenly lose the apply play

#

And complain

kind osprey
#

I think it's fine as long as it isn't a collectors item like on the same level of a piece of art

#

Like I'd be pissed if someone slapped carplay in a Ferrari 250gto or something like that

#

Unless it was an external mount that doesn't affect the car

#

Those are fine

silent oak
kind osprey
#

They just mount onnthe dash

kind osprey
silent oak
kind osprey
#

There are only 30 on the planet they should be museum pieces

silent oak
#

Taking out the radio and putting the signal piece

kind osprey
#

It would plummet the value though

silent oak
#

I know it’s “super car”

kind osprey
#

No old Ferrari really does

silent oak
#

How about engine swapping to a reliable engine

kind osprey
#

Doing that on like an f348 or a 308 is actually pretty common

silent oak
#

If I were to own an older car- I’d put an Apple car play system and keep a radio in it

#

Idk something about blasting rock radio while driving

kind osprey
#

If I had an old car that wasn't rare or modified in any way I'd be down to carplay it, but if it is a collectible or extremely rare I would find some way to connect it to my phone just for the music and audio navigation

#

So I don't rip up the dash or tarnish it

silent oak
#

Like an old 1970s challenger?

kind osprey
#

A regular challenger isn't rare rare

#

Maybe if it was a Hemi Cuda convertible

silent oak
#

However- id 100% put a cb radio in it-

kind osprey
#

Then no car play lol

silent oak
#

I want a cb radio like bandit

kind osprey
#

Those are always fun

silent oak
#

You just need a lot of electrical skills

#

I’d put a apply play system under the main dash

kind osprey
#

The one in my truck is on the ceiling shelf

silent oak
#

Hmm did the cone in trucks before?

old sedge
#

Oh, wait. I forgot. Another thing I like about Nissan Z is unlike many other modern sports cars, it still has the good old manual park brake lever

kind osprey
#

That's good

old sedge
#

Afaik, Subaru WRX and Toyota Supra has e-park brakes

#

Not sure about Corvette

#

The Nissan salesman who accompanied me said that Nissan decided to equip Z with the manual park brake lever is to cater drifters' needs

silent oak
#

@kind osprey is it wrong of me to like a boring car as a dodge girl?

#

I’ve seen a few decently cool “boring” cars

I’m not the type to complain about how cars have too much tech, that be stupid of me

old sedge
#

Damn it, my aunt is bothering me with her flight, she's going Karen mode because she wants us to solve her problem that she doesn't know her ticket number

#

This is why I suggested her to buy a Ford when she asked me for suggestions kek

#

Or a Range Rover

silent oak
old sedge
#

2000-2010's

silent oak
#

So Jeremy Clarksons Range Rover

old sedge
#

If she buys it, she'll experience the reliability of the elegant British engineering

silent oak
#

That’s the most reliable gen rover

silent oak
old sedge
#

But I think she wouldn't have that money anyway

#

For Ford, I told her that any Ford with Powershift transmission from 2010's era is the most reliable

silent oak
#

Always remember atleast it’s not a jaag engineering

#

That’s just old head

old sedge
#

And Ecoboost engines are reliable

#

I'm really becoming evil huh?

silent oak
old sedge
#

I always tell people that large V6 and V8 NA engines are obsolete

#

Small I4 or less cylinders turbocharged engines are better kek

#

Imagine a Ford Mustang with 1.3L I4 twin-turbocharged engine kek

silent oak
#

How about middle ground i6

old sedge
#

Maybe

silent oak
#

Dodge is going that route

#

They have the i6 twin turbo

old sedge
#

Wow

#

Huge 6 or 8 cylinder engines with turbochargers are amazing

silent oak
#

I prefer superchargers old school girl

old sedge
#

Why not have both supercharger and turbocharger in same engine?

silent oak
#

The 3.0L hurricane i6 is the new Dodge motor for the charger

#

But Dodge is offering hemi as an option in the future

#

Getting the hemi tho

You know there's a legal technicality that posting someone's license plate on the internet is not doxing

#

Especially when you are objectively in the wrong being in the passing Lane going 10 miles under the speed limit when there is 12 million football lengths of empty space to your right and it would put me the driver in a disadvantage to try to pass you when objectively you would be that same asshole that would suddenly find a hair in your ass and feel like going 90 mph because I in a semi dared to conceive the process of passing you the minivan

#

For context, a minivan is a little over 1/4 the size of a semi with a trailer in which my ass was 83 ft long

And for more context, a semi weighs more than 26,001 lb which means they need a commercial operating license or at least a class A license. Whereas you in a minivan, need an operating license of a class C which oh by the way is less than 26,001 lb.

And something tells me you shouldn't try to play the game chicken with a vehicle that's over 30,000 lb when you are in a vehicle that weighs no more than 18,000 lb

#

A good way to think about playing chicken if you want to play that game is approach the situation as you would as a professional fighter...

Would you being 175 lb willingly get into a mixed martial arts sprawl against somebody that is 320 lb? Something tells me no.

Like honestly, you're clearly not in a hurry and you clearly have a disregard for public safety and public policy. So I'm going to enforce public policy with officer safety by conveniently requesting an officer that is an entire county across knowing that they won't be there in time but insist on only them cuz I don't know your intentions and after 28 minutes I'll decide to tell them you know what disregard. I'll go ahead and give him a writing
