>Nobody remembers it and they all disappeared by 2000.
I own a pretty clean '86 CL model and a coworker of mine (she used to work at GM in the late 80s) was surprised I was driving one. She also asked if I specifically hunted for it (I got it for cheap at an estate sale).
What's the deal with this car?
Kill me please
Post your car(s) that you like.
Moderately good 1979 sales crashed in 1980-81 with the second energy crisis and uncertainly over Chrysler's future, after which the R-bodies were laid to rest with little mourning. A Plymouth version, the Gran Fury, was added for '80 largely as a concession to the fleet market, which comprised the vast majority of Dodge and Plymouth R-body sales.

Car’s broken down, engine is fucked.
What can I do? I live in AZ and I need to get this shitbox sold in a week or else.
For the past year, there's been a mild hum from the front drivers side of it. It's started to get a lot louder over the recent hundreds of miles.
Mazda dealer says it's the transmission... but is it? I'm not sure they did a good diagnostic. It was a free diagnostic, though.
The car shifts perfectly fine. And the noise seems completely dependent on wheel speed and not engine speed.
The cost of replacing the transmission is really high if that's what it is, too.
There's no grinding or popping to the sound like I guess wheel bearings usually would be. It's an even hum that gets louder the faster the car goes, starting at like 15mph though before it got louder I didn't hear it until like 25mph+.

Why can't Americans drive?
Sideshows are like the perfect event. Always a great vibe perfect mix of mild danger (only if you want), theatrical "drama" from chicks parading themselves around, pisses off "Karens" (of both sexes LMAO).
Note if you read closely about the supposed "violence" or other problems its always "actually not really". Whenever there is a report of someone shot etc it never comes with the sort of details that it would, if it really happened at the Sideshow. Sometimes there are "shots fired" but seems more like Muslim wedding than gang war.
Would love a coupe but not a huge sticking point. So far have been looking at the supra, alfa romeo, m2c, m3, m4, amg c63, audis, and a camaro. transmission doesn't matter either, leaning towards auto/dct for traffic.
Shill me your recs

I can afford to pay 30k up front in cash but i would prefer not to. Can I get an auto loan from my credit union and then just buy the car in whole from the dealership and then split the payments over the course of a year or two?
Why can't I just buy a car straight from the manufacturer's website? If they don't have the exact car I want at the dealership will they get it for me? How do I avoid getting scammed by a car salesman?
I am very stupid please help.

Why is the Tacoma shilled when you can have all this for 20 grand less
So here's the deal. I dont exactly have a lot of money and car prices are fucking insane right now. If I absolutely had to I could buy another car but it would result in a) my savings account being completely drained and b) likely ending up with a car that's older with more mileage than the car I already have.
On the flip side I'm super worried about getting the repair done, then 6 months down the line need to repair or even replace my engine.
Go ahead and call me a trannime faggot, I had alot of fun. What about you anon? what got you into /o/

starting the thread with a challenge from anon, I found a Peugeot wagon
what kind of legal poison can i spray in my car that'll kill the bastards that's also safe enough for my mechanic to fix the wires without dying (no garage, outdoor apartment parking)
apparently the moth balls didn't keep them away
Replace daily driver Civic EX (works perfectly fine)
Get a soft roader, learn how to wrench, add on a body lift, bumpers, rear mounted tire rack, "big" tires (like 29-30"?)
Option #2
Rent a Jeep or 4Runner for the few times a year I'll actually go.
#1, have something a little more cool than the gas sipper I've had for 7 years and I'm bored of. Might actually go more often. Find buddies to go "overland" with or whatever the fuck it's called, it's just camping right
#2, might be violating TOS and if it gets damaged or owner finds out could be financially ruined
Used to have a 2wd Ranger and miss exploring desert trails. Yes a FWD crossover is all that's needed to traverse the desert. No I don't need a rock crawler Rubicon to go on loose dirt and sand

I used to buy cheap running cars and just using them till they died. Anything maintenance over 100 dollars, I wouldn't fix and just let it simmer till it killed the car. I remember one summer I had 5 cars in my possession because I kept finding good deals.
Now I can't find anything. Everything, including shitboxes, are listed at insane prices. And people are paying those prices.
What happened?
Also they apparently have/sell warranties on their cars, anyone know if they're any good?
You'd have to be crazy to buy a Rav4 over a Santa Fe or an Audi s4 over a 3.3T Genesis G70.
Okay, they don't have a dedicated sports car platform in truth but literally everywhere from economy sedans to volume crossovers and luxury vehicles - dollar for dollar - they are absolutely best in class.

Weird man, all of the millennials i know have a license even the ones who hate cars and vote for the Green party.
Also job and income. Pic related. The dream. The reason to wake up in the morning and work 12 hours a day. The one thing that gives me meaning. The 1.5L. The FWD. The 6k redline with no VTEC.
It doesn't even have a tempomat
After a little while it doesn't have the acceleration issue and it will run as normal but still make noises when it gets over 2000 RPM. I took it to AutoZone to have them use the check engine light diagnosis tool and they told me there was something up with the camshaft position sensor but that doesn't sound related to this noise since from my understanding that has to do with the vehicle starting and not keeping it running.
Oil - checked frequently, looks good
Loose parts - none that I can see under the hood

Euros, underage, and felons can post, but their opinions are irrelevant without picrel.

i really don't want to but whatever. i know my car has two leaks and plan on scheduling the repairs after the oil is done tomorrow. this feels awful, it's like i'm willingly going to a place where they'll rip me off and bullshit because there are no options i'm aware of.
any guesses for what these people are going to lie about and say needs to be fixed to fleece me as much as possible?

There's also a 90 model year a bit farther away at a slightly lower price with 100,000+ miles. Only thing mentioned wrong with that one is that the headliner needs replacing.
I have money and like how they look. Are they worth it?

I can afford it but it would be an irresponsible decision, is this something I have a flawed perspective on because I was a young kid or did cheap second hand sports cars evaporate from the market without any kind of replacement?

Any vans you think are just quirky, but would still work as a home? What's the cheapest shitbox that you can stealth in?
I stumbled into this, according to the internet is a Montecarlo with a Buick 3.8 V6 Turbo Engine and only 3000 of those have been made. I tried to peek under it and all the rims were eaten by rust, so I could not get a look under the car. I could not find the key, so I could not pop open the hood.
Would it be worth it to try and bring this car back to life?
I'll be responsible and not act like a wannabe MotoGP rider
Fortunately, the quotes have been released to the public to help inspire fellow surgeons.
"At 10, I was intrigued by surgery, I wanted to be surgeon for a long time. I love doctor shows and surgery shows. Blood is not an issue for me. I even took pictures once of me having my blood taken. "
"Dr Babanga, my local doctor, recommended that I should perhaps try superflex before and after breakfast. "
"Humanity abhors, above all things, a vacuum in itself, and your class will be cut off from humanity as the surgeon slowly cuts the cancer and alien growth from the body."
