No Mazepin?

[dry sage]

No.

[vocal tide]

He didn't spin

[swift galleon]

aww

mazspin is mazepin

[ocean rock]

No mazepin dotd @vocal tide @main cosmos @ashen carbon @uncut saddle

Its checo

[uncut saddle]

Gud

Voted for checo

He got one

[ocean rock]

Another day in FIA.

[main cosmos]

Who tf voted for Perez as driver of the day

[uncut saddle]

Me

[main cosmos]

Why????

[uncut saddle]

Because he did an amazing job

[bold horizon]

Guys i has question

Whats the light on my speedometer?

It says traction control in my manual but theres like 3 different lights that are for that

[vast night]

It should’ve popped away, is it still there?

[bold horizon]

I got out of my car already. But after 3 mins of being on it popped up and stayed

It didnt initially stay when i turned it on. That light and all thr others went away and then that came on. My check engine light is on for an issue already. Dont know if it affected that light or not

[vast night]

You should get it checked out

but make sure to do it yourself or someone you know cause I already know those mechanics gonna scam “ohh you got ABS- issues so you need to get that fixed”

Might need to be reprogrammed

But chances are it’s also just doing it’s job

I’m not entirely familiar with the tcs system

[bold horizon]

I go to the same shop/dealership for years

I trust them

[vast night]

Nice was just gonna say or if you have a repeat shop

mine has only ever come on once and it was during a really really rainy day

but it promptly went away, I guess it recognized the shitty road conditions

[bold horizon]

I also went back out and started it again and plugged the diagnostic thingy in and it was still the same thingy. Nothing new popped up on it for thay light. Even rescanning and checking once the light came on

[blissful lagoon]

I get to clean this shit box

[strong saddle]

that needs cleaning

[blissful lagoon]

It needs more than cleaning

it needs rear suspension and brakes

and uhhhh

actually hidden stuff around it also

dash stuff missing

Course dude is a cheap ass and doesn't wanna pay for the parts

went from a LS silverado to this

[ocean rock]

Which one is gonna happen sooner, HAM WDC or Mazepin losing his SL @uncut saddle @main cosmos @vocal tide @mint plank

[uncut saddle]

Yea no that'll still be HAM WDC

[loud spade]

I still don’t fucking get why Max got his lap time deleted

[uncut saddle]

Because they implemented turn 14 track limit enforcements the morning before the race@loud spade

[loud spade]

[uncut saddle]

Why can't they just have a single set of track limit rules for the entire weekend

[loud spade]

I k r

[uncut saddle]

I still think it's such bullshit that you have to race differently in the actual race than you might have in quali

[loud spade]

Mhm

Btw, do you notice how whenever Bottas gets pole he never wins?

In other words, whenever Bottas gets pole Hamilton wins

[hybrid charm]

expensive cars ill never get to own #2

[analog radish]

[old sedge]

NSX is good.

[ashen carbon]

Saw this on Reddit. Ouch.

[ashen carbon]

Unrealistic test. Things don't smash into Mustangs, Mustangs smash into things.

[hybrid charm]

What happens if two Mustangs see each other

[ember apex]

new whip

[slate fern]

Nice camo wrap

[hybrid charm]

maybe i can get a G35 in the future idk

[barren hawk]

yea good starter car

[loud spade]

Pain. That's so sad.

[loud spade]

Which year is that?

[sage roost]

Looks like an ‘05

[loud spade]

That's what I was guessing

[sage roost]

But tbh it’s all the same from ‘03 to ‘07

Just different engines

[loud spade]

Mhm

They're all crap

But they're pretty cheap after all

[sage roost]

Id rather get a 350z tbh

[hybrid charm]

G35s are good wdym :(

[sage roost]

But the thing is

[hybrid charm]

isnt the G35 just a long 350z

[sage roost]

All 350z’s here are auto

[loud spade]

Damn...

[sage roost]

Pretty much

[loud spade]

350z looks a lot cleaner and sounds better imo

[sage roost]

Searched everywhere for a manual 350

Didn’t find any

Only thing to do really is buy a new 370 from the factory

[hybrid charm]

im not a fan of the 350z looks

probably because as a kid i thought it was a shittier 370z

[sage roost]

G35s and 350Zs are almost identical

[loud spade]

Although Infinity is basically the luxury Nissan, I prefer Nissan for some reason

[sage roost]

Same engine, same stuff

[heady swift]

I mean the 370 is the same thing but twice as expensive

[sage roost]

Only difference is how it looks

[hybrid charm]

i think the infiniti g35 is a rebranded """"skyline"""

[loud spade]

Can't see that

[jagged sentinel]

I think they did a bit more then replaced the badges

[narrow thistle]

g35s

sedan go brrrr

[hybrid charm]

second gen eclipses are so nice imo

[heady swift]

the g35 is completely different

[sage roost]

WAIT

[heady swift]

but the g35 was called ''skyline'' in japan's domestic market

[sage roost]

I found a manual 350

[loud spade]

I fucking love those

[sage roost]

Selling for $5k

[loud spade]

F&F when it was about cars

[sage roost]

But unfortunately

It’s a convertible

[hybrid charm]

dont evo 9s cost like 30k dollars

[loud spade]

Around 30 yes

[heady swift]

yikes

[jagged sentinel]

Don't you just love Tofu tax

[heady swift]

they're pretty cheap here

[hybrid charm]

fuck

I hope they're cheaper in germany in like 3 years

[heady swift]

nothing better than market protectionism in a ''free'' country

[loud spade]

This, is my one of my favorite cars for a first car

[jagged sentinel]

[hybrid charm]

I plan to move to germany, seems like a nice place

plus homeland of very vroom cars

[heady swift]

they're way too unreliable and expensive for a first car

both the normal 500 and the abarth

if you want a first car, get a japanese, korean brand or a volvo

[sage roost]

There are quite a lot of evos here

But they’re expensive

Like

Very expensive

[loud spade]

The older models?

[sage roost]

40k for an Evo 9

[heady swift]

the older models are even more unreliable

[jagged sentinel]

Not really any better

[heady swift]

honestly stay away from italian cars unless it's a secondary car

[sage roost]

Thinking of getting either a G35 or a 350z as my first car

Don’t want anything difficult or expensive to maintain

[hybrid charm]

how about g o l f

[jagged sentinel]

My first car was/is a truck

And with the roads here I wouldn't have it any other way

[hybrid charm]

My dad has a Volkswagen Gol

Not a golf

a gol

[heady swift]

oh the latino ones

[jagged sentinel]

The state government doesn't have the roads here

[sage roost]

My cousin has a golf R32

[heady swift]

they're nice but buying a new one is disadviced unless you trade it in every three years

[hybrid charm]

he has a 2012 model

[heady swift]

pluuuus vw lied about their emission

[jagged sentinel]

Ah, good ol dieselgate

[heady swift]

I mean that's fine

[heady swift]

really fucked autosports

vw dropped out of wrc and both audi and porsche had to drop out of lmp1

[jagged sentinel]

LMP1 had it's own problems

[heady swift]

fortunately vw is back with r5 and audi/porsche will enter either lmh or lmdh

[sage roost]

How about one of these

[hybrid charm]

Audi TT

[sage roost]

A ‘91 LS400

[hybrid charm]

I love the first gen TT

Cute boyo

[sage roost]

my dad used to own it

[heady swift]

yup costs, and der motherconzern limited their funds

[sage roost]

Drove for 700k miles

[loud spade]

Baby R8

[jagged sentinel]

Mhm

[heady swift]

but they're back after these five years so it was completely dumb

[jagged sentinel]

I need to get back into Formula 1

I wanna see how Aston Martin gets on

[hybrid charm]

i also like the RX8

engine swapped of course

[jagged sentinel]

Obv

[sage roost]

Ah that thing

Let me show you something overkill

[jagged sentinel]

A sports car with extended-cab-truck-style back doors

Because that makes sense

[ocean rock]

Alpine mazda @sage roost

Alpine Mazda

[sage roost]

Now this is what I call a Fat fucking turbo

[hybrid charm]

r please

[gilded kelp]

Someones dad picks them up in one of these from school every day

My school specifically

[old sedge]

That's a cute van, I would like to have one of these.

[gilded kelp]

Yes

[hybrid charm]

I wonder how much do R34 Skylines cost

[gilded kelp]

Subaru Sambar Dias

[gilded kelp]

Too fuckin much thats how much

[old sedge]

More than a Nissan GTR?

[hybrid charm]

Define too fucking much

[jagged sentinel]

6 figures

[hybrid charm]

Jeez

[gilded kelp]

Yea

[loud spade]

They'll be 300k+ soon enough

[hybrid charm]

Id rather have an NSX then

[old sedge]

Nissan GTR is faster than a Skyline R34 so why would the latter cost more?

[jagged sentinel]

Because most of the people that have them are multi-millionares who don't need the money

[loud spade]

They're rare

[hybrid charm]

isnt the skyline R34 a GTR

[jagged sentinel]

They were never sold in america

[gilded kelp]

Is nissan even gonna make an R36

[heady swift]

depends on the specific model, but they're fucking expensive and the special editions like the nur are... really expensive

[narrow thistle]

yes

[heady swift]

yup

[narrow thistle]

its called the r50

or whatever

[old sedge]

Fair enough

[jagged sentinel]

That was a limited-edition/concept

[gilded kelp]

This shit?

[narrow thistle]

yes that shit

[gilded kelp]

I thought we were supposed to be UPGRADING the looks

[heady swift]

yup, nissan skiline gtr (insert edition)

[hybrid charm]

c i v i c

fuck that shit

[loud spade]

[heady swift]

no, this was a special edition in co-operation with that italian brand

[jagged sentinel]

@gilded kelp that was just a special edition

[loud spade]

Such a good car

[gilded kelp]

Oh ok

[jagged sentinel]

Italdesign, right? Or was it peninfirena?

[hybrid charm]

YES YES YES YES

imagine an AWD Integra R

[heady swift]

italdesign

I don't like their stuff

[jagged sentinel]

Eh

[sage roost]

I’d like a 240sx

However I need to find one in mint condition first

[heady swift]

you'll spend a fortune

[jagged sentinel]

I wonder how much S15 silvias go for in the states

[sage roost]

Never mind

[heady swift]

non-modified ones which aren't too rusty are already hard to find

[sage roost]

I’ll just stick to the 350z/G35 plan

[narrow thistle]

italdesign

[heady swift]

the best examples you can find in japan as they don't salt their roads as much, and their infrastucture is really well-developed unlike in the US

[narrow thistle]

want 1 of these as a first

[heady swift]

buuuut importing is expensive and a bureaucratic nightmare

so either way you're fucked

[jagged sentinel]

Expensive and annoying

[hybrid charm]

Audi

[barren hawk]

isn't the U.S a good reason for increased prices for jdms

[jagged sentinel]

What

[barren hawk]

like the demand for them

[jagged sentinel]

What about it

[barren hawk]

im probs wording it weird

[heady swift]

yeah for some cars as they're being legalised there

[jagged sentinel]

There are a handful of fully-street-legal R34s in the states already

[barren hawk]

like 6

like 6

[heady swift]

https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2000-mitsubishi-lancer-evo-vi-tommi-makinen-manual-4wd/OAG-AD-19756330/?Cr=2 absolutely well-maintained model

but it costs over 100K

tf

[jagged sentinel]

At least 17

[barren hawk]

damn

[heady swift]

I can buy an r5 ready car for that

[heady swift]

yeah because of a semi-legal company

which was ordered to close

[jagged sentinel]

It was an import company back in the late 90s-early 00s

[kind osprey]

Faster quicker and newer is completely irrelevant in pricing

It is the simple factor of supply and demand

[jagged sentinel]

They stopped importing and registering JDM cars because of how difficult, time-consuming and expensive it was

[kind osprey]

good condition r34 gtr v specs that can be brought to the US are as rare as four leaf clovers

Which is why most of the time they cost as much as a Huracan

[jagged sentinel]

Technically any of them can

[kind osprey]

i'd much rather have the Lamborghini but I do like jdm cars

just not overpriced jdm cars

[jagged sentinel]

It just costs an arm, a leg, and immense patience to fully register one

[heady swift]

yeah but you can't really drive them under the showroom clause

and the entire point of those cars is that they're affordable and relatively easy to modify

[jagged sentinel]

That was the original idea

[kind osprey]

The whole prior wow factor of jdm was that they were cheap, bulletproof internally, and pretty nice looking sporty vehicles

[heady swift]

which is why they dominated the market for a while until legislation against these cars by western governments was instilled

[kind osprey]

if they get too expensive their whole thing falls apart

which has been happening a lot more nowadays

[jagged sentinel]

But popular media has warped that, and now most of those JDM cars are viewed as royalty or gods as opposed to cheap and modular sports cars

[heady swift]

yup, none of the current japanese sportscars are really affordable

mostly because of emission based laws

[barren hawk]

once the r34 comes in states prices finna be in the millions

i think

[kind osprey]

The only modern one that I think is still an okay deal are fd rx7's

[kind osprey]

opposite

[barren hawk]

really?

[kind osprey]

duh lol

[barren hawk]

prices go down?

[kind osprey]

the main main reason why they are so much

is because they can't come here

[jagged sentinel]

The more of them there are, the lower the price

[kind osprey]

you can find r34's for $50,000 outside the US

[jagged sentinel]

Supply and demand, guy

[heady swift]

''vanaf'' is minimum

[barren hawk]

oh yeaa

[heady swift]

200k euro is not exactly affordable

hence why many people say that ''real jdm'' is dead

and the r35 isn't even jdm

[kind osprey]

Well back in the day these jdm cars were pretty well rivaled with European brands like Ferrari

if they want to do that now

they gotta be expensive

They were expensive as fuck back then as well

but not this expensive

r34 gtr's weren't easy vehicles to afford new you had to be pretty well off

[indigo notch]

mfs out here making miata prices 5k+ let alone r34s being expensive outside the us

[jagged sentinel]

Tbh I expect Miata prices to be higher then they are

[indigo notch]

theyre going up bruh i wanted one

[kind osprey]

I think the gem rn is the rx7, second place being the nsx

in price

gtr's cost too much

[indigo notch]

i bought a 600cc motorcycle instead bc i cant find any miatas for cheap in good condition

[kind osprey]

miata's are meh anyways but probably safer than a motorcycle

[jagged sentinel]

No Silvia?

[kind osprey]

probably

[indigo notch]

silvias are expensive as fuck too

drift tax

[kind osprey]

Silvia is like the underdog of the same company

[indigo notch]

and ya theyre safer but ill gap any mf on the road with less then 700 hp

[kind osprey]

i'm talking about the main main ones

s15's are probably like $35,000 now

[indigo notch]

yeah rip

[heady swift]

http://jdm-expo.com/3-vehicle-inventory

[kind osprey]

which is a bit much but it better be good condition

[indigo notch]

civics are expensive too

i need a cheapo truck to transport bikes but everythings expensive as fuck

i have to save up or trade up for like a ranger or old taco or something

[jagged sentinel]

Trucks as a whole are getting more expensive

[indigo notch]

yeah ik it sucks

theyre good for motorcycles tho bc shits hard to get into suvs

i had to pick up my bike with my friends fuckin subie forester

it barely fit

[narrow thistle]

@jagged sentinel u see the f150 lightning

the electric truck

[jagged sentinel]

Ew

[narrow thistle]

yes

v8 truck

now electric

very nice

[indigo notch]

bruh wtf

thats disgusting

[narrow thistle]

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a36302400/ford-f-150-lightning-electric-name/

pain

literally pain

[heady swift]

I mean

[indigo notch]

no i means

none of that

[heady swift]

a pick-up that's electric makes some sense

[jagged sentinel]

I wonder if this means that the dodge ram SRT 10 is coming back

[heady swift]

instant power, which is especially important off-road and when carrying heavy stuff

[jagged sentinel]

And lots of low-end torque

[heady swift]

but how many power stations are there in rural area's?

[heady swift]

yup, instant powaar

[narrow thistle]

dual motor, awd

[jagged sentinel]

Who said that trucks could only be used in rural areas

[heady swift]

I didn't say that they could only be used there

but their prevalent use in rural area's for difficult terrain and transport of heavy shit makes it a factor

[jagged sentinel]

Most of the people who own an all-electric truck will probably never use it like a proper truck anyhow

[heady swift]

yeah in the states you have the space for that

I mean the infrastructure is a disaster but at least you can drive big cars there

[jagged sentinel]

The truck market in the US is huge

I don't know if bad infrastructure is a reason for that but

[indigo notch]

f150 is the best selling car lol

[jagged sentinel]

We like our big vehicles, we like our V8s, offroading is a thing, we like pointless utility

[narrow thistle]

*truck

[jagged sentinel]

Believe me, I know

Swear to God 2 out of every 5 vehicles I see is an F-150

[delicate grotto]

@jagged sentinel @gilded kelp remember that stolen porsche designed ares car?

[indigo notch]

i wanna buy a ranger bc funny

[jagged sentinel]

Doesn't ring a bell

[gilded kelp]

Yea

I kinda do

[heady swift]

well, the lackluster infrastructure does make those cars more useful because a big truck can handle potholes better than a small hatchback and people generally like big cars

[delicate grotto]

https://robbreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/ares01.jpg?w=1000

This

[heady swift]

but in the end it's just american car culture

[jagged sentinel]

That sums it up

[delicate grotto]

Well a youtuber fucking actually paid 1 mil for the scam of a car

[gilded kelp]

Damn

[narrow thistle]

ahh yes

supercarblondie

[heady swift]

looks like something I'd draw as a kid

[narrow thistle]

ofc

y tf am i not surprised

[indigo notch]

i kinda like it

[jagged sentinel]

Doesn't surprise me

[delicate grotto]

Blame the fanboys

[jagged sentinel]

Not the reason

[heady swift]

I mean it's the first nur spec

but still..

[delicate grotto]

Drift tax too?

[heady swift]

its actual value almost tenfold

[jagged sentinel]

Nope

[delicate grotto]

Oh wait first spec is big money

[jagged sentinel]

It's more of an objective reason

[heady swift]

it's rare and non-modified

jdm gem

[delicate grotto]

I wasn’t too fond of the R34 so I didn’t pay attention

[jagged sentinel]

There are just so few of them in the US, combined with however rare that spec of R34 is, combined with how expensive it was to get it registered and what not

There are just a billion reasons I'd get something domestic over something like that

[heady swift]

LMH:

[indigo notch]

damn thats expensive as hell

[heady swift]

not sure which entries there are for LMdH

personally not a fan of the extra criteria, they're really slow rn

[jagged sentinel]

NASCAR needs to change

[kind osprey]

It sold at that price too holy shit

[loud spade]

Isn't there 200+ R33s/R34s dumped somewhere in Japan that just need to be restored?

I once saw a video about it, they even had 4 doors

[narrow thistle]

ye

i saw it too

i think i had a tiktok of it saved too

mayb

there was this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVwM3cOz1lU

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEQXmBE4iGE

n this

[loud spade]

I wonder if you can actually pick up and ship one of these for a decent price

If not I'll probably just live in Japan at this point

[heady swift]

you really want to live in a different and xenophobic country for a car?

[kind osprey]

I'd live in Japan for a bit sure

probably more rural areas the cities are a bit crazy

I would love to just go there for the food

[loud spade]

Of course not

I wasn't serious obviously

[delicate grotto]

@jagged sentinel they are changing

They now have 2 more gears, they’re hybrid, and they’re focusing more on tracks rather than oval racing

(For the next gens of 2022 that is, it was gonna be 2021 until the pandemic delayed it)

[jagged sentinel]

Wasn't there talk of removing the restrictor plates

[delicate grotto]

Don’t know, all I know for rules is that they’re restricting the downforce even more

[jagged sentinel]

Hopefully these new changes bring some popularity back to the sport

Bruh GTA should have like a car meet system

Like a adversary mode

Ppl can judge on cars

[kind osprey]

That would be efficient

[leaden sphinx]

Uk what i mean?

So the winner gets money

Its up to the devs

But i just told my suggestion

Somewhere in Japan

[narrow thistle]

scroll down a lil from that comment

Oh look its the car that cuts me off on the highway

[old sedge]

This somehow reminds me of the previous gen Honda CR-V.

[loud spade]

Sick car

I’d just put that in my garage to stare at it whenever I like

[barren hawk]

fr tho

[terse axle]

did you buy it?

[kind osprey]

maybe one day

I found another interesting car on here

an old fisker before the shit days. Way back when where he was just a designer

[terse axle]

what website is that

[echo locust]

Ignore low quality picture we were in a truck with a death wobble🤣

[kind osprey]

Bringatrailer

it's a cool car auction place

[terse axle]

wow

there's some really cool cars there

mercedes mclaren

aston martin db4

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2014-nissan-gt-r-13/

[kind osprey]

That's insane

you're practically buying that car new

[terse axle]

yeah

3.5k miles

what a bad owner

he doesn't deserve that car

[kind osprey]

They go for like $160,000 the 2020 models off the lot so 2014 for around 80k when it is finalized would be awesome

Nobody can tell the difference between the models unless they had an eye for them

the thing looks sporty so it'll work

[terse axle]

i would buy it if i had the money

and it wasn't in fucking florida

[kind osprey]

A southern sate too? nicee

even better

the under of the car won't be orange and corroding

[terse axle]

well its going to be hard getting a car like that to norway lol

[blissful lagoon]

Ooo a cord

I've seen a decord royale for sale before

nice ass car

[terse axle]

@kind osprey i figured out the price it would cost getting it into norway

with the import fees

with the tax authorities website

it would cost about $24.000 just for the import fees

not including shipping

[ocean rock]

Not their fault that nissan labels it as a limited edition and they expected appreciation

If that florida man collects car

Itll come very new all around

As its probably drained of all fluid

[heady swift]

You mean the karma?

[kind osprey]

way before it

[heady swift]

What car?

[kind osprey]

Fisker Tramonto

He basically took an sl65 and put his own touch to it

[heady swift]

Eh

Looks alright but can never be used as a daily

And they're supposed to be high end daily's

[kind osprey]

the sl65 was like an old people retirement money take em to the golf course kinda car

So it fits fisker pretty well

He was also responsible for the bmw z8

Amazing designer, shitty businessman

[heady swift]

Yup, but the sl65 can be repaired anywhere pretty much

[heady swift]

It seems you're either a business person or artist in these cases

I think he also designed the db7

[kind osprey]

Those who can do both are billionaires

[heady swift]

I mean those who are business people can be billionaires lmao

Same with the guy from spyker, great designer but he's awful at doing business

[kind osprey]

I would love a spyker, when I was 7 I had a poster of spyker c8 and a tesla roadster

I salvaged the roadster poster from one of my old boxes from when we moved and it somehow didn't get bent the crap out of

[heady swift]

Ah the lotus e-lise

[kind osprey]

lol

No joke I actually never heard that before but that is clever

[heady swift]

Hahahaha

I used to see those pretty often

No idea where they were sold off to

who drove instead?

Pietro Fittipaldi

thats sick

i actually havent seen the new ones yet so

[vestal garnet]

Wonder how the type r is gonna look like

And the Accord ofc

[dire shard]

it looks so generic

i heavily dislike it

[main cosmos]

still better than the older model

[sage roost]

That’s what all mid/small sized sedans are trying to be lol

[dire shard]

almost looks like a camry? dunno, looks dumb as shit

the stupid grille

[sage roost]

90% of sedans look the same nowadays

[dire shard]

xv50 style

[narrow thistle]

lowkey looks like a camry

sort of

[ocean rock]

Ubermacht Oracle lookin rear

I cant, i had to make that parallel

supra

One of the best cars.

the best imo

together with gtr/skyline

[kind osprey]

Drift a supra is just cursed ngl

[analog radish]

yes

[main cosmos]

supra was never good

it only had a very good engine

[kind osprey]

That basically makes the entire car

the rest you can swap or do something with if it isn't up to personal standards

[jagged sentinel]

Everything else about it was just typical 90s sports car

[kind osprey]

That is what it was, it was very good at it

[jagged sentinel]

Wasn't it more of a touring car

[kind osprey]

I like how smooth and unobtrusive it looks no crazy cuts it just flows

idk it was basically Toyota's sporty car but this was when they have money to develop their own stuff

so it didn't have to be shrunk to fit a z4 chassis I guess you could throw something in the back seats if you'd like

[heady swift]

Those back seats are for legal purposes. The reason why 911's usually are 2 + 2 is because it's cheaper for the buyer because of insurance and perhaps additional taxes

It's more about saving money than actually fitting four people

[jagged sentinel]

Cuz most of the time they don't

[kind osprey]

The 2+2 solely being for insurance is pretty bologna we are all fed in childhood for some reason.

insurance companies unfortunately are not that dumb to not look at the car itself and only the seats lol

If it was the case, the mustang would be cheaper to insure but that thing costs more to insure than two door two seats at the same price

tbh over here it depends much more on the person itself than the car

[ocean rock]

Nowadays its less about how safe the people is, and more of how many driving information are they willing to give up.

Lookin at you allstate

Mmm dash

[loud spade]

That gear shifter is a pain

You need to press the button on the side to be able to switch gears without breaking the car

I've tried driving a car with the same thing and I almost broke it

[proper elbow]

That's an automatic

[loud spade]

Yes

By switching gears I meant going from neutral to drive to reverse yadi yadi yada

[blissful lagoon]

The gear is easy to go into neutral

its just kinda stuck at the moment

Ll get ready to go and it won't want to shift out

[burnt badge]

lowkey tho even if manuals are crazy fun to drive

automatics are just superior

no wounder they manuals are slowly dying out

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7U2bC9xl08

[loud spade]

I really don't get why Toyota didn't offer a manual version the BMSupra™️

[heady swift]

depends on the car's usage

in racing the favour is giving to manual, especially rally

[kind osprey]

Because it is sus, and boring

[loud spade]

Can't disagree on that...

[heady swift]

I don't really mind the new supra

and they've been doing great in supergt

It has less than 20k km and it's 20k Euros

[vestal garnet]

U know the german cars,they have high maintainence cost and Depn

[loud spade]

He's stuck between this and a brand new Corolla Hybrid, I also forgot to mention that his dad will be taking the car later on. Japanese car parts are cheap and easy to find, and that Toyota will last his father the rest of his lifetime

Personally I would take the Toyota

Although it's 5k more

[ocean rock]

Merc F1 still leading the reliability race

God i love the oxymoron of it

Their race team is more reliable than their normal cars

[loud spade]

IKR

Bahrain 2020

U know abt japanese,they have bulletproof reliability
Honda and Toyota

I wonder how much would an offroad miata cost

[jagged sentinel]

Depends on what you want out of it

[analog radish]

lol

yes

[hybrid charm]

get a shitty miata, put a big ass engine on it, put offroad suspension and wheels and stuff and done

[analog radish]

save the miata stock engine

[hybrid charm]

mad max miata

[jagged sentinel]

I hope the rest of the drivetrain is subsequently upgraded to cope with the new engine too

[hybrid charm]

oh yeah

and probably make it AWD

And a hard top so you dont get too dirty

[jagged sentinel]

Nah

[hybrid charm]

A big ass engine on a smol car AND rwd seems like hell

[jagged sentinel]

Especially in a car that was obviously not designed to have a big engine

Not to mention one with no roof

[hybrid charm]

is any light car designed for a big engine

[jagged sentinel]

Small cars usually don't have big engines

[hybrid charm]

doesnt the ariel atom have like 2 bike engines

You could also get it with a V8

smol engine

[sage roost]

I’d love to get one

[hybrid charm]

Idk why but i kinda like the looks of badly done salvaged cars

[jagged sentinel]

Like patina builds?

Aka fake rust

[hybrid charm]

just the overall shit look

including but not limited to: unpainted parts that unmatch the body, rust, loose parts, etc

[jagged sentinel]

So kinda like street rods?

Or rather their style

[hybrid charm]

probably closer to beaters tbh

[jagged sentinel]

Yeah that would probably better apply

[tawny tangle]

But a scrapyard car so u wont worry about it getting hit

[jagged sentinel]

I think he'd like a car that runs...

[tawny tangle]

Sure it runs

Barely

Our shitbox runs ... With a hammer

[jagged sentinel]

I wouldn't count on your average junkyard car running instantly when you turn the key

[tawny tangle]

We have to hit the starter every morning for it to start

[jagged sentinel]

Yikes

You should probably do something about that

[hybrid charm]

get a junkyard car and put a nice engine on it 👍

[jagged sentinel]

Them you gotta worry about everything else

[tawny tangle]

Well it will run

When u turn the key

[jagged sentinel]

But whether it will move is the next problem

Mostly by accident

[loud spade]

Treat it well please

[blissful lagoon]

no thanks miat go weeee

Il baby it somewhat

but

[loud spade]

At least better than this

[blissful lagoon]

Them curvy roads man

Oh yea imma keep the interior clean

[loud spade]

Not talking about the suspension... Just the interior

[blissful lagoon]

i don't want it ending up like the hardbody

[loud spade]

Mhm

[blissful lagoon]

wonder why the old owners where such slobs

[loud spade]

I wonder if those things will ever go up in value

[blissful lagoon]

the hard bodies? Probably not for some time

[loud spade]

No not talking about hard bodies

[blissful lagoon]

Oh miatas

yea the prices are already kinda going up

NA/NB's are going up

NA's are going up fast

someone was trying to sell a NA hardtop for 1800$ near me

[loud spade]

If you can get your hands on a 2002 Beetle Sport, you can probably make some profit after it goes up in value in couple years

[blissful lagoon]

like bruh

Why sell the roof

for 1800

[loud spade]

He's just selling the roof?

[blissful lagoon]

Yep

just the roof

dudes probably on crack

180 and I'd take it even though it doesn't match the one im getting and i don't have mine yet

[loud spade]

Really

What the fuck

Dude is high

[blissful lagoon]

Dudes on crack

[loud spade]

If he actually needed money he would've sold it for a more reasonable price

[blissful lagoon]

If he needed money he would sell the car to someone

instead of just the roof

[loud spade]

I don't see anyone buying that for 1800

He probably needs the car though

[blissful lagoon]

It was on the local marketplace

now it ain't

😬

Someone made a bad decision

[loud spade]

Ah yes, pay 1/2 of your car's price to get a roof

[blissful lagoon]

It wasn't even in good condition

paint off of it and dents

Fuck it imma make my own na roof with a t top

People would probably buy t top hard tops for their miatas
