Hello
I have an issue with my car that I wanted to check if anyone had a solution for
so
On the back window of my convertible car, the sealant or glue or whatever it is that holds it together has deteriorated
while the window is still perfectly secure, the seal is not
water gets into it, and ends up pooling in one of the back seats
the bigger issue now though
is that it’s creating a lot of condensation in my car
so, is there a cheap solution (even temporary) that someone knows of?
It’s also getting into the trunk for some reason

before you go modding anything i strongly suggest you watch car culture youtube videos and learn about the different subcultures of shit and find a style you like

They're saying it'll be light weight but a hybrid V8
Worried about pricing. Would expect this to be ££££ like £200k+
The Emira as it is right now around £100k is expensive

maybe what'll happen is the same as the Emira where it depreciates heavy for 18 months and I get in at that point haha

Hahhaha fair, seems like this one might be a low unit car though just guessing from the video
arctic scaffold
Maybe, who knows 😂
I'd love to spec my own car from factory one day
An idea I had was to re-spec my Emira in the distant future
It already needs paint work before I put PPF on so I can see a new colour happening if life allows

can confirm it is in the game! not sure if it's available from the autoshow directly but it's in there:
they made a ton of cars unlockable by doing certain things/progressing certain things
so it might be locked behind something of that sort

lots of other incredible cars in there though

europe got those all over the place
some are also diesel
i need my skylines tires rotated tho
theres a bit of dirft in the steering
i cant do that at home
hot take dodge chargers are utter shit
why the fuck would you want an auto transmission charger
get the challenger, same car just manual
pure garnet
anyone got any summer car project plans
if i can, i wanna fix up the corvair a bit more
deft crater
get the challenger, same car just manual
are we talking about the current gen or last gen
cuz the last gen challenger was a coupe and a very different body style to the sedan charger
im also pretty sure you could get a manual charger i think
night sable
were challengers not the same car anymore
i may be mistaken then
i havent lived in the north america in like 3 years so
chargers dont exist here
deft crater
were challengers not the same car anymore
last gen charger vs challenger
personally i prefer the charger
deft crater
now the challenger is dead and it's just the charger, two door and four door versions of the same car
night sable
the majority of cars in europe at manual transmission
deft crater
downgrade imo
night sable
you cant fit a dodge ram truck on the highway here
its wider than the lane
but europe makes EV friendly hight mpg cars for driving
diesel is still common here
night sable
yea since my sports cars are japanese imports i have to pay an assload on sinurance
there was nitrous in the WRX, thats street illegal
deft crater
yikes lol
night sable
dont thinkn ill be racing with it anytime soon so ima rip it out
i pay 90eu a month for the renault Clio, which is my wifes car/family car
