Something which is under £10k and looks good
Is this a headgasket going bad or is it the remnants of stop leak pellets/something else?
Have anyone of you mongrels were at the dealership and test drove that piece of shit new Hyundais are?
For a price of top end Golf GTI/Cupra Leon/Focus ST you're getting materials from FIAT, looks of a retard and driving experience of a golf cart.
>Hurr but those are great
>Durr buy N stands for Nurburgring
N is for fucking Nigger you are for shilling this crap.
Thinking i wasted two fucking hours driving i30N fastback.
What a terrible car it was.
And don't get me to start with painting. Looks like fucking primer ffs. Who can think it's cool and uncommon? Are you retarded?

>want a manual
>never driven stick before
>salesperson takes me to a parking lot
>tries to coach me through taking off in 1st gear
>stall every time.
only had about 5 goes at it before we went back to the dealership but it was pretty frustrating to say the least. no idea what I was doing wrong. salesperson admitted he wasn't the best person to be teaching but even so I'm disappointed I wasn't able to get going. he had me rev the engine to 2,000 RPM and slowly let off the clutch. I'd get moving and then stall out every time as I'm releasing the clutch. he said once you feel the bite point to let off the clutch quickly but I'm not sure if that's what I was doing or not.
I know it's retarded trying to diagnose but what the fuck was I doing wrong based on the above info? also, any good videos someone can recommend? I've watched a few but apparently they didn't help me. pls no bully.
Old cars are superior
Checked end play and rod play and are within spec. It seems a touch stiff to turn it takes 32lb feet at the balancer bolt. Finding some conflicting reports on how easily a rotating assembly should turn some say between 20-25# and some say anything under 35# is good
Driving down the twisties late at night, then you see him:
"W-what? He beat me! How could this be?!"
You got smoked by a Saturn SC-2 in your Nissan Skyline GTR.
Would be great if this would happen, then see a SC2 skyrocket to 30K because of anime. People jizzing themselves over a shitbox over.

It's dually insulting because I outright own my car, but it's almost like I'm still paying a car payment.
Do those automatic liscene plate scanners police have able to retrieve data on insurance? Or simply whether the car is stolen or not?
If it's merely stolen car info I see no reason to continue paying insurance. That said, I don't want to be 7-8 monthes down the line getting legally fucked because some cop randomly decided to run my info.
Seriously considering as a fan of smaller bikes. It's getting harder to find parts for the 197X Express and it's ilk
First kinda wanted a Grom, but at 6ft it looked like a circus bear riding a bike
Then wanted the Super Cub..but now this. Utilitarian, rugged..
>EXCEPT needs cylinder head
Who was in the wrong?
>she used to change her own oil and tires on her old Civic and plans to do the same on this new car
>on schedule she pops her tire sidewall running against a curb one night
>she tries to put the spare tire on
>she cant as it's dark outside at 10pm and she had heavy 20" hueg tires which Jeep in their infinite wisdom decided to use lug bolts instead of nuts
>she calls me in the night crying because she cant put the tire on because its too heavy and she cant line up the bolts in the dark
>have to stop my solo bedroom cardiovascular activities to go save her
>get there with my big ass floodlight so I can see where the damn bolt holes are so I can align the tire
>get tire on in 1 minute
>she thanks me and says she will pay me back
>she drives to a gas station with me following and goes inside the bathroom to wash up
>follow her inside then go inside her and creampie her twice
So who at Jeep decided that it would be a good idea to switch to using lug bolts and low profile tires? What a terrible decision for an alleged "offroad rugged SUV"
Is this is then, are we doomed to an ugly car future?
They seem far less of a headache to maintain than a BMW or Mercedes.
I have a masters degree in physics and have done some circuit theory stuff before, but the problem is I have lived in a flat my entire adult life and my parents never owned a vehicle when I was growing up in the countryside (eccentrics), so i have literally never even touched an engine before in my life. Recently I got a high paying job as a software engineer so I can finally afford to (a) move out of london and (b) spooge £££ into a hobby
so - how can someone like me get into learning mechanics/auto repair? I would love to fix up a scrappy junk motorbike as a hobby, but it seems very intimidating without a father figure or similar to introduce me
in London I see there are open university courses on mechanics, would that be a good starting place?

I don't want an SUV. I want something that will be cheap to own/maintain. In a perfect world, Id like to own this somewhere from 6 to 8 years or longer.
Is there really a difference between these two cars?
I'm a retard when it comes to cars. Any opinions?
Thanks in advance

I really am in love with those boxy 80s aesthetics and am now considering a sporty two seater from around that period. Reliability is not an issue and It would be sitting in a garage most of the year. I've been considering pic related, but I'm hesitant as I dont want to be an attraction or be seen as some kind of back to the future freak... I just like the car. It should also be a long term investment. Any good advise would be appreciated.
Does the loicense helps you getting laid?
By the time i have saved enough money the price will either have doubled or they won't be available without being molested into the ground with mods anymore at all.
How do i deal with it? It makes me sad every fucking day.

I had a look with a flashlight and everything seems ok besides the right wheel arch and the felt cover just behind it.
However I noticed a strange smell of something burnt when I drove back home. What possible damage could I have? It’s a BMW E88 btw
>already had to chase someone away from stealing my car
>get club and place it on the shifter since the steering wheel is flimsy as fuck
Now my car is unstealable, right?
I have about $5,000 to my name. Would it be possible to buy a used car (from facebook not a dealership), get it insured and inspected and ready to go, all in 4 days? I've never bought a car before and I know it's usually a process.

Does anyone else do this and is it possibly unhealthy behavior

When will we have crisp clean cars again that look like they were designed for a man with a wife, kids and adequate test and not a estrogenic tranny.
I will be embarrassed to let my kids see me standing next to these tranny mobiles.
Does it get better? If this is one of the better bimmers, how fucking bad do they get?
Unless I apply the brakes slowly and very gradually, they grab. They even lock up if the road is wet.
This has come on slowly over the last couple of months. Before this, they were fine.
Any ideas?

I went to the race track today and I saw an old dude with a nice Z32. He was whipping the piss out of it too! Good on him!
a.) Have one car, enthusiast car, and be prepared for the fun but financial burden it'll bring
b.) Have two cars, one boring DD and one budget project car
How dumb can a team be to now allow the 12v to always get charge from the main battery?

Does anyone know what the red light on the right does? It only blinks (intermittently) when the car is off
One person was hurt badly enough for rescuers to urge a trip to the hospital, but the individual refused, according to WFLA-Channel 8.
The 2004 Hummer H2 caught fire Wednesday in Homosassa, Citrus County Fire Rescue told the TV station.
Firefighters said the vehicle was carrying four 5-gallon containers filled with gasoline.

I'm trying to find some for my dad's upcoming bday.
HF is sold out of all jacks stands, the crap sold at vatozone is overpriced.
Amazon top rated jack stands have inconsistent quality, and the rest of what they sell is all china chit, or $200 a pair
I use 20 year old Craftsman, before they sold everything to china. looking at them now they are prices cheaper than hf trash
Would be nice to find 2 pairs of 3/4 ton jacks for around $100
It should be easy to maintain and repair. Plus it's completely unique and I should be able to attract a lot of women with it.
[spoiler]yes I am in the middle east[/spoiler]
I'm in a country with 4 paved roads, so I need something that will handle the poor condition of the roads here. Basically my question is this: does the Outback stand a decent chance at being a reasonable choice for daily driver usage on bad roads. We don't have much mud, just lots of potholes and bumpy roads.
Basically I'm trying to decide between this or an old Jeep Commander that certainly has much better offroad performance, but it much more expensive and uses much more fuel.
I don't care about looks, or speed. The fastest roads in this country have only a couple of small stretches that get up to 55mph.
I don't mind replacing/upgrading the springs and struts/shocks and putting good tires on of course. My budget is around 10K USD or less, but the real problem that I am having is a very small pool of vehicles to choose from.
Is the Subaru with it's AWD system a stupid choice? I've owned two other Outbacks (both '90s models) in the past and they were great cars, but that was when I still lived in the first world, so I never had a chance to find out how they handled the rough roads
Thank you very much for any advice

>Rules
1. Do not drive beyond your/your car’s limits. This is not a race. Cruise with the slow group first if you’re unsure how fast you want to drive, and we always wait for stragglers.
2. Do not cross the double yellows. Rule subject to change based on the road and time of day.
3. No burnouts, drifting, etc. at meeting spots. We don't need any unwanted attention.
4. Do not go Wangan Midnight when conveying. Cops love pulling over large groups of cars.
>The car reportedly immediately caught fire and the police claim to have heard multiple explosions from inside the Pontiac. The driver exited the car while on fire and the officer pushed her to the ground in an effort to put her out. She was transported to the hospital, but not before identifying the cause for why her car was exploding: her trunk was filled with hoarded gasoline.
Me and my buddies are going camping and will bring about 60 gallons of gas. How do we safely transport it so we don't catch on fire?
