Board: /o/
"/o/ - Auto" is 4chan's imageboard for discussing cars and motorcycles.
Brute power vs balanced agility. It's two schools of thought that tends to become a passionate debate. Today you're given a choice between a 1st generation NSX Type R or a Challenger Hellcat. But here's the rub, you can only enjoy the NSX on Daytona's road course configuration and the Challenger on Suzuka. Tracks that I felt contrast each cars strengths. What are your tastes? Do you take the Honda on a wide open track with long stretches for big power? Or are you up to the challenge of trying to tame the Hellcat through the technical corners of Suzuka?

wtf went wrong
base prices seem good for a car that new and the 1.4 model has a fiat engine which should be supported well enough around here.
It's currently on non-op so I haven't had a chance to actually drive it hard on the freeway or anything, other than just going around the block.
What do the mechanics of /o/ suggest I do from here? I'm trying to save money but I also just want to get this car registered and on the road.

I'm going to go test drive one.
I looked at one yesterday and the only complaints that I had are there's no storage space but that's not a huge deal for me.
Has anyone here driven one?
My question is if I slap on plates from my other car and drive around, obviously if I don't drive a like a dick I should be fine, but if I go to get smogged will the tech check my plates or say anything? obviously I've gotten smogs done before, but I've always been inside paying for it while he's in the middle of it and he's done by the time I get out so I don't hundred percent know what else he does besides plug in the computer and press some buttons.

I'm planing to buy cheap wrecked cars from US, fix them and sell 'em to the local buyers.
So, the car must be reliable, very good on gas, be loved and popular. Any tips?
I'm also planing to do cheap fiberglass bodykits, but this is another story

Am I an idiot for wanting to buy a CPO German car from a dealer? I feel like I'm in a good enough financial situation that I can take out a 3-year low interest loan on something like an E-class (pic related) or 5-series. I know I'd probably get raped on insurance and maintenance is kind of expensive but I feel like it isn't too bad. I want a car that I can keep for 10+ years. Should I just buy something cheaper and boring or is my idea somewhat realistic?

Im gonna be looking at an 04 dodge dakota with the 4.7L with 212k km. Thoughts/opinions on the motor?
Now my question is i cant really seem to find any data on how much the steelies weigh and what how much heavier/lighter it is than the Volks
Sidenote: I think i'm getting a decent deal at 600 euro for the set, but i cant find any reliable pricing for the volk's. is it decent?
also any other advice to a poor student getting into the car scene?
Does anyone have any ideas in what to look for? Preferably a performance car with a nice, clean exhaust note that isn't rotory, American V8, or lawn mower that's also relatively easy on the wallet?

Greetings /o/, I have a stick up my ass about OEM car parts. When I backed up and took the mirror off my 93' T-100 a year or two back, I got the last passenger-side mirror out of a warehouse in Portland apparently but was happy to have gotten it because some small part of me wanted the keep the car "whole" with its original parts. Same thing when I lost the oil cap for my Corolla, because I couldn't get my fingers around the aftermarket one I purchased in order to loosen it. It's just satisfying for some reason getting a hold of pristine OEM parts that you know are gonna work properly, match well, and aren't cheap knockoffs. Anyway, out of habit I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions for a source on classic car parts, specifically for the Gas Door on a 1965 Pontiac GTO. The old one rusted to death and I would prefer either a reliable source on used OEM parts or a good restoration-quality set of parts. Do you anons have any good recommendations for part sources?

I subscribe to Shannons auction emails, the licence plates sell for absolutely obscene sums, much more than most of the cars.
What is the appeal to collecting these? Is this as common overseas as it is in Australia? Are these being bought exclusively by nouveau riche, Chinese millionaires and investors hoping to sell to Chinese millionaires? Are there really enough people with that much money who care so much about these plates to justify the prices?
I'm at a complete loss to explain this. The prices in the link are not unusually high, this is a normal sample of any Shannons auction.
