So why are we being forced to have to deal with this shit again? If it only will stop a third of them, carmakers will still have to design cars in such a way as to make them over safety regulated heavy turds, Insurance will still be a thing, and worse now we'll have to deal with even less predictable half-baked AI.

Every charge the battery smells like lead, and I've noticed I lose about 1km range every day, I think. Do you think it's because of "battery chemicals" leaving the battery while charging?

I live with my parents and I have 0 expenses in life to worry about.
I am looking for a used vehicle that is reliable, safe, and will have little breakdowns and repairs.
No more than 10 years old, and would prefer it to be 5 or less.
No more than 50-60k miles on it, preferably less.
I want it to be from a legit dealership or a carmax, I do not trust independent used dealers or individuals.
And I want it to be less than 10k.
Essentially I figure that if I can't find something like this, I might as well buy a new car.
Any recommendations on what to look for?

That's a tough one. I'm Between the ford fiesta fun 2007 and the 2018 mirage. Both have the same flaws, mainly the deafening road and wind noise at Autobahn speeds. The feel anemic to drive, like they would suddenly lift off and get out of control.
From a reliability standpoint though, the worst one by far was the Lancia Delta 1993 (pic related). I swore that I would never by an Italian car ever again.
What sort of rim cleaners do you recommend after winter? My normal rim cleaner gets rid of the brake pad and iron particles, but after winter my rims are all disgustingly oily yellow and it doesnt work.
Lotsa soap and elbow grease, or something special just for that?

Why are they so cheap? My local version of craigslist is full of them and they go for like 5k euros. Seems like a great deal for a luxury SUV, what's the catch? Are they absolute dogshit in build quality?

The Volkswagen, the folk's wagon (folks car/people's car), was just cheaply made basic car that everyone could afford. Just like the Trabant, just like the Yugo. The only reason people like the old Volkswagens is just nostalgia. As far as I know, the Trabant and Yugo have a similar cult in their own countries. And yeah, I think Volkswagens are cool too. But I realize it's only because of the cult.
So next time you go talking shit about Trabants and Yugos, just remember the Volkswagen is just as shitty. After all, they were literally budget cars.
"Europoors" just like to get in and drive and enjoy their vehicle and not spend time fixing it unless its absolutely necessary, where as Americans have this obsession with being "under the hood"

Bumpers too high (body and suspension kit)

Now I am looking at my options. Maybe installing dummy cats and covering the electric cutoff could get me to pass a different slow shop somewhere but I'm tired of the stress.
How well would this work?
Go to UPS in Steubenville OH and set up a PO box and a shell LLC. Sell my truck to the LLC so it becomes an company truck in ohio. Get Ohio plates. Never have to worry about inspection or emissions again. My main concerns are
1. Can i still transfer the vehical to ohio without a current PA inspection
2. Ohio's anti tampering law. Do they inspect for Cats when switching the truck from PA to Ohio at the BMV?
I'm open to any insight. Thanks
It seems to be pretty much the common opinion that the mustang is the one to get over the camero and challenger. Why is this? Ford branding?

I just can't find motivation to wrench on my own stuff, it seems like so much pain to do even simple stuff on my drift missile e36.
There are just so many good mechanic that would do it for few bucks, I know it adds up to nice sum after one season but can't justify it/motivate myself
It just seems like pain to learn all the right bolts, techniques of disassembly etc.
Don't get me wrong I get most of you do it to save money on that already expensive hobby, but some people find wrenching fun and for me it is just pain in the ass just as my job while cars are just relaxing hobby I love.
>why not a c5 corvette
Rare where I live, anything in reasonable condition is over $25k
>Why not a 350z
Plagued with issues and no clean examples for sale
>Buy this shitbox for 5k and mawd it
I dont mind a little work, like new shocks for the brz, or an oil cooler for the 370z, but I've done plenty of wrenching, just want to focus on learning car control.
The brz is going to have the cheapest consumables, and Ive heard it has the most neutral chassis, but I've owned some more powerful cars and I don't want something I'll grow out of in two months. FI isnt an option, I've heard too many horror stories about oiling issues on track, and Im not spending 9k on an engine build just to make 300hp.
The 370z has been reported to understeer a fair bit, but the forumfags say that once you get a square wheel setup and install a mechanical lsd its a good handling car. Its heavier than the brz, so I'll be spending more on tires and brakes, but if it'll keep me engaged I can spare the cost

The early premium examples were straight rip offs from Mercedes and the lower end Lexus models were just rebadged Toyotas but I'm going to fast forward to today, I recently test drove an 2017 IS300H, here is what I found good and bad about it.
Good:
>Great soundproofing
>Excellent sound system
>Interesting and quality interior design
>Different from the usual German stuff
Bad:
>CVT box, engine just screams when you put your foot down and sounds like shit
>Poor ride quality (not even an F-Sport trim)
>Despite having a 2.5L V6 Petrol combined with an electric motor (223hp total) feels weak compared to a 2L Diesel from German rivals
And after all, Lexus isn't bringing the next generation IS to Europe anyway, I'm not saying Lexus are absolute shit, I think I'll try a GS next time but this American craze about Lexus really has me confused
