I know Fords are crap to work on, from experience (US and EU models) they take too many shortcuts with their designs and require a lot of stupid specialty tools. I used to work on old Toyotas and Audis and they seemed pretty simple, but they were also from the 80s/90s when everything was simple.
So are there any modern day cars that are still simple to work on?

Leave all your ideas of what good/bad cars are at the door-- only good car models exist, no such thing as a car maker that never puts out crap. The badge doesn't make a car reliable or unreliable.

Keep in mind that a lot of cars would need to refuel at one point too, which will be lost time, so it is quite close in reality.

Thoughts on this?
Truckers are literally single-handedly sustaining society. It’s thankless, backbreaking, grueling work. The pay is decent but not nearly enough. There's an argument to be made for truckers' wages matching or even exceeding those of doctors. Both provide an essential service to society. Which one is more important is arguable.
Unbelievably long hours, hazardous conditions, and dealing with civilians in the way, driving on OUR roads constantly.
You WILL respect truckers. You WILL yield right of way to truckers. You WILL thank a trucker and tip every single one you come across. End of.
Guess used cars are best cars now.

There won't be $2000 Miatas ever again, or whatever your poison is.
Flippers and speculators don't help either.
It's only going to get worse... is the solution really just throwing more money into my/your hobby?
Or just say I'm retarded idc, but it does make me sad to see.
Where do people even buy these?
The speed and RPM slowly drops all the way down to zero regardless of what I do. Turning it off and on again fixes it, it drives, turbo pulls, everything is fine. But the moment its in fifth gear, I know its only a matter of time before it consistently happens again.
I drove about 80 miles yesterday, mostly at lower speeds on the back roads, using forth gear. No issues at all.
What could the issue be?

Nobody is looking towards new models with enthusiasm and build quality seems to have dropped. Styling looks like an after thought. Yes in terms of performance its amazing how much manufacturers can squeeze out with so little given, but how much is it worth celebrating with the democratization of performance allowing soccermoms and cars as appliance fags in EV crossovers being able to go 0-60 In 4 seconds and electronics able to do all the critical thinking and finesse required.
Or is the industry just suffering from too many doom and groomers
I've already gone over dimensions available from Edmunds and autotrader, but I'm really struggling getting the actual dimensions of the doors, which is unfortunately the most important part for my investigation...
>Post it all fagg/o/ts.
>insurance goes from $75 to $300
yeah you're a retard if you buy/lease a new vehicle. what a total scam.
I’ll give it to you straight, /o/, it’s the BMW.
https://robbreport.com/motors/cars/thousands-unsold-new-chevy-c8-corvettes-dealers-1236362598/
I can get parts for both where I am but guessing the Merc is a bit more difficult to wrench. Merc has higher mileage too.
I’m tired of always driving cramped, loud and uncomfortable cars, but I can’t stand the look and feel of cuckovers. This makes a premium or luxury sedan quite attractive.
The LS, if properly taken care of, is probably going to feel nicer than a new ES, but I’m guessing it’s going to be much more expensive to maintain, and it’s going to feel weird using it for normie tasks like commuting to work or getting groceries or gardening supplies.
Does anyone here have either model and what is your experience?

But I think, all these years later, this one is still my favorite.

For many reasons (mainly weather conditions and convenience) I need a compact crossover. I don't need off-road qualities, but I still need some ability tto ride in the snow.
I've selected a list of cars that fit my criteria and crossed out the ones that I won't take because I don't want to deal with these manufacturers.
So, any advice?
>a.) Giulia QV in manual
Just saw one listed for $50k in Japan, but looks like it sold immediately, fml
>b.) audi r8 v8 manual
seems like a classy car to take on dates
>c.) LC 500
red, tan interior, but silver looks nice too
would be for long drives
>d.) ferrari 458 or maybe a Roma
>e.) a110 (wish it was manual)
>f.) toyota century in good condition
Why?, I say. I can change it myself and save a little money and a trip.
Go to move the panel under glovebox and encounter this type of tab that blocks my path.
What do?
Just pull them down? Other types I worked with have to be twisted or pinched, or some shit.

I'm probably gonna get laid off here and I'm not exactly sad about that as I've been hating my job for a while now. My only escape has been camping. I typically go out to a national park on a Friday night, spend Saturday hiking and biking to my heart's content then force myself to pack it up Sunday and be ready for work the next week. I've always wanted to go out of California and see what's out there but I've always been stuck going to work next week so any trip out of state of basically out of the question. Now I'm looking at the possibility of being free. I have a paid off Prius that I've been taking camping for a while now. It's not the most comfortable thing to sleep in so I have a tent and a cot that fit in the car. I plan is to drive out to a state, set up camp and drive around exploring places returning to the camp every day I want to make my money stretch so I can see all the states and still have some left over. My questions are
>How do I manage being basically homeless (showering, laundry, cooking out of my car)
>Where do I go so I can remain unbothered by karens, police, and vagrants
>How do I do basic maintenance on my car while out on the road
>Any recommendations on gear to make my life easier on the road
I have heard that the Cupra Tavascan is a good car with a so-so software, wheras Teslas are great computers in meh cars. Considering that it will only be for three years, I don't care as much about long-term costs. The Cupra is more spacious, but where I live the supercharger network is still without competition, so charging the Cupra would be a slight hassle.
I really don't know what to decide and at this point I'd accept the result of a coin toss, so I thought I'd ask here first. What should I get?
Im seeing lots of zoomers and japanese people building choppers now ??

Last owner was a massive retard.
All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your owners are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your ghoulish compression behind closed doors.
Men are utterly repulsed by you. Hundreds of years of engine development have allowed men to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency. Even turbos who “pass” feel uncanny and unnatural to a man. Your turbo lag is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a drunk guy to drive you, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your diseased, infected engine sound.
You will never be happy. You wrench out fake torque every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.
Eventually it’ll be too much to bear – you’ll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable throttle response and disappointment. They’ll scrap you with a headstone marked with forced induction, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a turbo is buried there. Your block will corrode and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is an engine that is unmistakably shit.
This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

Mach 1 is slower. SS is used, no visibility, GM reliability. M2 is this but worse. Porsche is +$15k to be slower than CTR.
P.S. I can't afford one, just curious.
