I'm 6'4" can I fit in an ND Miata, and are they good? I am longer in the torso I think. Or should I get an Ecoboost Mustang or something like that?
>>27660918inseams are part of lookism now?what did that happen?
>>27662093sure thing buddy. Not everyone is built the same. Some people's height comes more in their legs, also the RF has more head room than the soft top. Real 6'3'' hear and have no problem w/ head room, but like I said, probably couldn't wear a helmet.
>>27662129>the RF has more head room than the soft topRandom other 6'3"anon here, this was not my experience. I spent 10 minutes trying to find a seating position where I could fit in an RF and gave up, in an ST I fit just barely, hair touching. I think you've got things reversed.
>>27662129>RF has more head room than the soft top. not in my experience.I've sat in both.still couldn't fit my head in a RF that had a slider delete and a thinner Sparco Sprint seat.ur ass is 6ft.I can guarantee it.
>>27661937removing airbag was bitchy.mark spline alignment before you start other than that it was easy and I'm a wrenchlet. I'm sure flyin miata has a good video on the subject.
post cars that aged like milk
>>27662463There is already a thread for this you fucking retard >>27660785 kill yourself
>>27662463I absolutely love classic cars with simple and clean lines like this. Hate modern shit that looks impotently aggressive, with wacky body lines that and nowhere and start nowhere. See: modern Mustangs.
>>27662463C8
>>27662564Yes, this exact thread with the same image has been posted dozens of times. It's basically a newfag filter at this point.
>>27662566That never agedIt was shit out the gates, and still shit today.
What is a somewhat reliable rwd manual car for $10k or less that isn't overpriced for what it is? Zoomers have clapped out every miata and want 8k for their anemic shitbox
>>27660916stop being a useless wrenchlette, you're going to have to unclap something yourself for your tiny budget
>>27660916That truck literally has downs
>>27661241Yeah they are. One of the best NA inline 6 engines ever made.
I feel like 6-8k is just the norm for barely clapped used vehicles now.
>>27662761I remember browsing CL when I was broke years ago and there being so many quality shitboxes for 3-5k it's gotten so bad nowI'll either have to take the bike pill or buy something new it's hard to justify shitboxes now

>>27661658I never ever typed "hybrid" in any of my sentence, anon.
I am getting a Chevy Impala very soon. Getting that V6 dawg.
>>27660161>>27660164Why? Just get a brand new off the lot Chrysler 300 with pentastar v6 or Hemi v8 of your choosing
>>27662329if i had 40k to drop on a car, i would. impala SS', even well taken care of examples, are cheap.
>>27660161god bless, op
>>27662329>getting a charger/challenger/300 with the V6
>>27660161I feel bad for you. They fucking suck.
Found in the "Low Miles No Miles" public Facebook group.What's wrong with these people?
>>27659699>he thinks that's an actual check engine lightYou're a fucking retard.
>>27662969You in DFW? And yeah, he's relisted all of his corvettes for well over a year, now just realize each month its $5 per listing. Now realize how many people would rather pay craigslist probably hundreds of dollars instead of just taking a couple thousand less on offers. But that corvette is probably a $16-20k model given its overall condition. Its weird seeing collectors value their own cars and just being wrong because one time they saw a similar car go on auction for that much.
>>27658553>regular startsLiterally more wear as if you beat on the motor all day
>>27659699>>Check engine lightThis anon has never started a car.

You guys realize a C5 has one of the shitty old automatics from the 90s, not a new 10 speed with lightning fast shifts and 800ftlb torque capacity, right?>>27659318this

The car responded, but fuck all is happening at the moment. Is the GB40 capable of trickle charging?Picrel
>>27662725They’re lifesavers. Most of the time you don’t know your battery is dying until it leaves you stranded. And like 30% of the time it’s because the battery drops a cell and goes to ~10.4V without warning and testing the battery health a week earlier would never tell you it’s about to die.For $50-$75 to have the thing in the trunk and be able to help save your own ass or help friends and family or even strangers, it’s not a bad buy. Even if it saves you once, that’s cheaper than calling a tow company to jump your car, and it’s cheaper than buying quality jumper cables that don’t take 20min to charge up the dead car.I’ve bought half a dozen jumper bricks for friends and family and they’re great. Even the Chinese ones have been lasting >5 years easily. The oldest one from 2017 or 2018 is finally starting to have a cell bulge a little bit.
>>27662689I've only got a 1.6lt little hyundai. I heard that the GB40's are good enough to start up 6 cylinders so I went for it>>27662675There is an override. Is it safe to leave the thing on override for more than 30 or so minutes latched onto the battery?
>>27662675Thist. fellow gooloo chad
>>27662462GB40's are trash and don't have enough amperage to overcome a completely flat battery that's sulfated itself to death. You need a Gooloo,see >>27662675
Glad to see all of you morons are finally realizing batteries basically last forever.Told ya so
What is the most nice colour?red maroon or blue?
It's a nissan versa who cares
none.
Blue.
>>27662884A dark blue. Even that Nissan looks good in a dark blue.
Car designs that aged like milk
>>27662479I kinda like it, but I guess I think any car looks cool when it's clean and taken care of.
>>27661097>>27661325What is this? Tape residue?
>>27661772Are you really dissing the design of the E39 zoomer? E38,E39,E46 are objectively seen as the last good designs that company put out.
>>27661772Needs more fake vents and wings huh you little LED loving ricer
>>27660789>>27660793grill looks like fence wire. chrome looks like plastic. headlights come from a truck. sticking it's ass out like a dog in heat. overall shit design.
A friend of mine wants a cheap sports car to impress women, he can spend 15k. I told him to get a mazda rx8, but he said it didnt look imposing enough. what would you tell him, /o/?
>>27661349>extended cab sports car
>>27661303>Friend wants a sports car>Recommends him a car thats not a real sports car, its a lifestyle car with sporty styling>Most people just call it a hairdressers car
>>27661338Muscles, like cars generally receive 99% of compliments from other men
>>27661303>but he said it didnt look imposing enoughHate niggers, not racist just don't like em
>>27661303He's right, women only care about the brand and the look of a car, so maybe he should buy an old civic, slap a bodykit and hellcat badges and paint it in matte or some retarded ass color niggers love, roasties will wet themselves and they would be none the wiser you're driving a layman level car
Who is superior?
>>27662644I prefer diesel, but I admit that gasoline is superior for a lawn mower and a chain saw
>>27661551>Who is superior?Provide context.
>>27661551Depends on application and how it was designed to fit that application.
>>27661915I have never had any issues at all running nu trucks besides having to fill up the def randomly even though I don’t need to stop for fuel. It is an afterthought and not fear inducing at all.
>>27661767True, my W211 diesel Merc has a 21 gallon fuel tank kek
>Most practical kind of vehicle you could buy in 2024>Is the single most humiliating thing you could be seen driving inHow do I get over the shame of owning a minivan? I'm pretty young and the thought of picking up a girl in one of these makes me not want to get one.
I'm honestly thinking about selling my Focus for a Honda FR-V with decent mileage (<100k). I could carry bikes inside and still seat 3 people in the front.
>>27660022What about a VW Touran? Seems to have a pretty versatile interior as well.
>>27659335>How do I get over the shame of owning a minivan? Buy a cheap one so you that way have money left over for a fun car for all the times when you don’t have to drive a minivan.Same premise as owning a beater pickup along with a fuel-sipping compact.
>>27659357Why did they stop making these? Perfect size to function ratio.
>>27659335I want a minivan but they are like $50k. At that point I would just get a used LS.
yeeeerp, they don't make em like this anymore
>>27661589Needs an opera window.

How retarded is this? My boomer dad is obsessed with trying to get me to buy shit like this because it's usually over 50% off. Pic related has been fixed to look brand new and has 10,000 miles, and is going for $18k. I however think this is fucking stupid and a liability. Anyone with experience?
>>27661797>fucking stupid and a liability. Anyone with experience?If it's fully repaired and not just nigger rigged there's nothing wrong with the car itself other than the title. It's not a liability unless you are overly concerned with resale value or insurance value.
>>27661797>Anyone with experience?Me and my friend import like 20 of this to the slavland so we bowling.We fix them in here and sell them. But you in Burgerland with Burgerland mechanics and prices...you going to be rape boy. Copart don't give a fuck, you never know what you buying, unless you check it. Body damage in new cars are tricky as fuck, all those cables modules. Without experience you don't know location of this shit in the car. Copart is gambling, but I'm in eastern europe shithool smoking malboro gold and you anon are in USA. Cars here are much more expenisive then in your country and sometimes even we don't make good money.
>>27662767So i don't know how ppl in US can make profit fixing those cars in US. Like here with much more cheap labor we often cut corners to make money. Sorry i don't answered the question in first post. I'm little drunk. If you ask me, slavland rebuild cars seller NO don't do it. Unless they show you what they done part by part. Show you picture of damage ect. Rebuild business is shady as fuck i know this first hand
>>27662742Sure, but to the average person this is literally a 50/50 no?
>>27662767>>27662782Thanks for the honesty. IMO I agree with you as far as modern cars and module/circuits and sensors. Even if it was fixed decently the cars computing system is going to re-fuck-ulate it somehow
im going to give a girl a ride to another town tonight. gonna be about a 1hr drive. What can i add to my passenger seat to maximize the odor absorption of this girl sitting on it for an hour? I already have cloth seats
by passenger seat I mean trunk
>>27662512Just ask her if she'd like to go for a couple of drinks before leaving and have her drink a lot. Then when she gets the urge to pee, tell her she can go on the seats, that you can clean it out later. Or if you prefer, keep an empty bottle and tell her to go in it and then close it tight and put it under the seat and you'll get rid of it later. Then you can taste her pee and pour it on you back at home
I feel like we have this "How to maximize female smell absorption" thread at least once a week.
>>27662512There's a way easier way.>go to store>buy women's parfume>spray onto any object>smells like womenCrazy, i know.
>>27662904Go back. >>27662512I think what you do is keep a towel in the boot of your car and have a few water bottles around. Something flimsy and plastic. If you're some sort of impressive person, have study notes in your passenger seat or something. Open the door for her and say "Sorry about the mess. I have to keep my mind on my dissertation. I'm glad you're coming out with me. I could use a good break"After you clear up the papers, strategically spill the water bottle in the passenger seat. Apologize and say "Here, I'll have some towels here for you"Make her sit on the towels and they will be very slightly damp, thus absorbing the smells of her crack and farts for later use.
