Literally how
I like faster cars but I wanted something reliable after getting fucked by Volvo and Audi, and I'm really impressed with this little car, the interior is comfortable as fuck and I'm 6'1. The exterior design never caught my eye when I saw these on the road but I go out and look at it daily and it's really grown on me. All the shit they put into this is impressive, I even have real leather surfaces seats. She's got a lot of torque too which makes the stop and go I'm stuck in half the time a bit more fun

I’ve been looking at elantras, Sentras and some Hondas as well. What do you guys recommend? I’m not picky. I don’t need fancy stuff. Just a backup camera which most new ones have.

Now as far as the new car, I want petrol, something used, somewhat light, fwd or 4wd. i don't like bmw shitters. I think I can manage 200-250hp.
dream is pic related but looks like i'm 35 years late.
i've looked at some saxo vts, 106 rallye, clio williams but the prices are absurd for a 20 year old piece of metal. I'm looking for something newer but not with too much tech and comfort bullshit.
I'm from EU.
Any suggestions, tips?
>cheap parts
>cheap to run
>can park anywhere
>can go anywhere
>cheap enough that I won't worry about scratching it
My biggest worry is that the engine is 2 cylinder, how reliable can I expect it to be?
Should I look at some other cars?
On a side note, I see there are adapters now for some models that you simply plug into the headlight wiring harness and allows you to plug and play with LED lights vs splicing wires. I like this idea, but is this also bullshit or have we advanced enough to avoid splicing?
Based?
it's like a soi attempting to play dangerous but can't fully commit to it so they need to compromise to this cuckmobile
if you're riding this, get your testosterone checked
atm considering a ford fiesta rs, nissan micra, honda civic (hard to find in this price range but my second choice), mazda 323 (very rarely come up but my top choice), also looked at a suzuki swift
also a bit newer but considering a lexus is200 or impreza wrx although theyre not my sort of car i do like how they look

(My dad had bought me an Infiniti QX30 earlier as my first car as a gift, but I totaled it because I couldn't handle the speed)
Feels great to have made my first big boy purchase (buying a used car).
What do u think of me and my choice?
And after I apply these standards there are like 5 cars for sale in the country that also fit his budget. Either they are station wagons or they are located simply too far away. Eventually though I find two C classes that fit these standards. Great let's take a look at them. Aaaannnddd then father realizes that the budget he stated was with the assumption that we still lived in a world with 0-1% interest rates. We no longer live in that world. And just like that the budget gets cut by 20%. And with this budget cut no car is in budget that doesn't have one compromise. So I try to get him to compromise.
Get something other than a BMW or Merc
>No son, I need a brand that makes my proud.
Get a station wagon since they are couple grand cheaper
>No son, I will never consider a station wagon
Switch the engine to the smaller underpowered version
>I can't have the car be too slow
So I try to find a car that fit these criteria even with the reduced budget. And eventually I find one. A 2018 BMW 320 Gran Turismo. It's new enough, it's powerful enough, it's not a station wagon and it's even AWD which is something that father has wanted his car to be for last 20 years. Mother loved it. But father.
>No son I don't like the way it looks

New data system installed. Front half wiring is done. This weekend hopefully going to get the back half of the wiring done and the new ignition system working.

Personally I would never ride a bicycle on a road, because too many drivers are dangerous.
I love road cyclists because you can instantly tell that people are shitty drivers when they hate cyclists. 100% of peoplenive met who hate cyclists get regular speeding, parking, and other tickets and every single one of them has totalled at least one car.
>They don't belong on the road!
Yes they do, it was in your state issued handbook when you got your learners permit.
>they were under taking!
No, you didn't check your mirror before turning
>the bike lane ended at the intersection, they are supposed to dismount and walk it across!
No it didn't. No they aren't.
>these grown ass men are too old to be playing with toys
Yeah, we get it, you havnt done any exercise since high-school and are so fat you haven't seen your dick in 5 years.
If someone gets angry to the point of openly fantasizing about murdering a cyclist I know they are a shitty, angry driver who shouldn't be allowed to drive, and aren't safe to ride with.
Oh no, a cyclist, I have to slow down for almost 30 seconds and then over take them when safe oh woe is me, my life is over now!
4.6L Northstar
55k miles
$3500 (they were asking 6k but i got them down to 3500)
Its leaking oil.not sure where but its low miles. I dont think it was maintenance much. Is being sold by a funeral home.
It needs some stuff like suspension or tires (not sure what, it started shaking and pulling hard over 60 mph)
Will I be a fool for buying this?

did they make them sound like that to seem "futuristic" or some shit? that seems like some gay shit elon would do but even teslas don't do that. it seems to only be jap cars that do that shit. every time I hear one drive by it sounds like the enterprise is landing or some shit

There's no law stating you have to give way to someone merging from another lane and it's considered cuck behaviour to allow someone to drive past a traffic jam only to demand you let them in at the end.

We've all felt the degradation of driver skill over the past few years but it's really picked up in the last six months with increasing phone-swerving and highbeam-fagging but holy shit every fifth driver is going 5-15 under the posted limit as of late
>Post you are experiences, /o/ fags
Because apparently none of this shit is standardized, so I have to BUILD the damn thing.
I got the correct "wiring harness" for the car, and the other half came with the radio, but THERE'S NO DIAGRAM ON HOW TO SOLDER THEM TOGETHER. And that INCLUDES no diagrams on the entire fucking WWW that show what the car-side connectors are supposed to connect to.
Picrelated is the ONLY thing I've found, and it's for a completely different model car than mine that just happens to share the same connectors.
The diagram was for the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
My car is a 2001 PT Cruiser.
Both are Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge/Mopar, but I have no idea if they scrambled the wiring between the different "makes".
Can I reliably use this diagram? Or am I just plain fucked?

Kek, this is only a taste of what's to come for the rest of the US
Is there a higher yield or something for manufacturers or is there a more sinister political reason?
i would like to exchange the car for money and get a different car.
i live in the south and we get hurricanes and flash floods pretty often. there are parking lots that i've seen where they get a foot or two of water several times a year. i could probably park my car there the next time we have a bad storm and probably get it totaled.
i've never gotten a vehicle totaled before so i don't know what the process is like. i have USAA comprehensive, i just don't know if it's as easy as i'm thinking it's going to be.
have you done an insurance fraud?

Will there ever be another driver like him? Personality-less, robotic, and superior?
Every automatic should be a column shift. End of story.
Well I just drove 2500 miles for a road trip and have a review of these tires.
>they have INSANE amount of dry grip, no matter how hard I push them on a turn they don't make any noise like they're breaking loose
>granted this is on a G8 GT, so not a supercar, but the general feel especially on freeway at high speed is very confident and planted
>drove them in heavy rain for hours and they perform very well in wet conditions, however I didn't do anything crazy, but they're actually completely fine in the rain if you're not racing with them
>obviously they'll still hydroplane like any other tire, but they didn't feel any different from a normal tire in the rain
>ride comfort is very nice for freeway driving and city driving
>they're actually not that noisy unless driving over tar or some sticky surfaces
>sometimes they make this really sticky noise almost like you're walking around in a bar where someone spilled a beer (shoooook, shoook, shooook noise)
>I actually kinda like the sticky noise
>1st gear no longer spins like crazy when stomping from a stop
>tread wear doesn't seem bad, but haven't driven them long enough to know how long they'll last with street use
>very aggressive tread look
>gas mileage didn't really change from the normie type tires/size (which was surprising) I get about 20 mpg even doing 85 most of the time
Overall they're excellent tires for spirited freeway driving. I was told these are track tires, maybe, but they were well worth the money. I like to hit curves and the confidence is amazing. The offset rims probably help with that too. Highly recommend them for sporty driving
