It looks like an NSX. Cool rims at least.

Took my 89 golf for it's annual* MOT test this morning, it passed with only one advisory note about a minor oil leak which I was already aware of. Imaginemysurprise.jpg Half an hour later, turned the key… nothing. The ignition barrel is kerfucked. A bit of wire, some sparks and smoke later, and I managed to start it up and make it home. Somehow, replacement parts are still available, despite the VW parts guy telling me they're not. Tomorrow i'll be figuring out how to fit the new one… Any other anons have a classic car as their daily driver, and how much of a pain in the colon is it? *14 months, because I am absent-minded. Got away with it, again. P.S., not my golf in pic, I don't have any… mine's a 1.6CL 4+E with electric, er, nothing, faded paint and some rough bits. Yes, it's a rat, but hasn't been modded (molested) by a teenager.

Which engines makes the most pleasant noises to your ears in your opinion? Justify your opinion with a recording or a video, with sound of this engine of course :)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPqmPnofsMY Electricucks are an even bigger scourge than I ever imagined. This new Lotus is not a Lotus at all. It's 1600 kg and has 2000 bhp. Its body looks like a fighter jet without wings and probably sounds like one too. It has shat on just about every single one of Colin Chapman's core tenets. It's heavy, doesn't use the most of what it could have had (i.e. a more manageable 600 bhp powerplant), and definitely isn't simple. And poor Clarkson in those last couple of minutes. That is the face of man who knows he was finally right about supercars going the way of the dodo, but he pre-emptively cried wolf so many times in his career that his word is now useless. You can just sense how depressed and defeated he is from his comments. There is no soul in a car like that Lotus. It is literally a machine. With the advent of current electric motors being as powerful as they are, we're now in an era of what I call "gratuitous speed". Speed beyond what will ever be necessary in 99% of applications. Would this new Lotus destroy Nurburgring? Absolutely. But even on the straightest, emptiest, most beautifully paved roads, how fast would you be able to take this thing before having to slow down? 150? 180? Regardless of how fast it could accelerate, you would not be able to take it anywhere near 250, let alone 300. Because by that point, the tyre wear would be so severe even the highest quality rubber would shred in minutes. Anything suddenly jumps out at you, you're dead. And since it's electric, nobody would be able to hear you coming. Anyone with a brain but more importantly, a heart would agree with Clarkson's sentiments; the natural rumbling cacophony of a powerful engine can never be replaced by a fake noise generated by a speaker from a rumble-less battery with a flat torque curve. Try telling that to the Jewtube commenters who are glad it's the end for ICEs. I'm doing all I can but there's too many of these kikes. They will not take away what is ours.

Cars that can do it all, people hauler, going off road, useful for utility and fun to drive.

What's your favorite brand that's having financial problems guys?

is this the pinnacle of utilitarian design?

Hello /o/. I'm a southern boy, and I had an idea. I was trying to think of a job that I'd like that would make a rather fat sum and still be entertaining. I gravitated to the idea of going to flight school and learning how to fly. Seems like it would be a lot of fun, but I'm a little stuck. I was wondering if I should go for learning to operate a helicopter or an airplane? Or maybe even another kind of aircraft job (do you have any ideas?) I live an equal distance from the airport and from the hospital, a handful of miles, less than 20 minutes. I don't exactly know which one would make more money, or be better for a lazy kid like me. Though I do like a little bit of zest and excitement. I'd love your input.

So it finally came out after 15 years of anticipation; the A90 Supra. As the dust on its unveiling begins to settle, what is /o/'s honest opinion about it? Personally I'm not as critical about it as most seem to be, other than the fact it does seem a little underscale and underpowered. There is still the possibility they give us a 450 BHP RZ version if it stays in production that long, but I would have preferred something that stayed more true to the FT-1 if I'm being honest.

my friend's getting ready to bury his dad's remains, went through his house and found this in the back yard. what is it?

Ford 4.9 L straight 6 in a 71 F600. What does /o/ think of inline engines?

>have to buy a new car >insurance, taxes, gas that costs a shitton >have to get something reliable, since I won't have the ability or the time to fix it >parents that are forcing me to get something new or newish, with a good mpg, better if methane or LPG, even if I'm paying everything by myself or with little help from their part it hurts /o/ I will have to settle with a simple Ford Fiesta, which is absolutely good, but I feel that I won't be really happy with her and maybe I won't even get a Fiesta, but something shittier

Doing my plugs and wires soon. I've got pre-gapped Bosch Iridium spark plugs, and the gap on the box is the correct gap for my engine. I'd like to just put them in as-is without messing with the gap, since the electrode is so easy to damage, and because I'm pretty sure I've screwed up a couple iridium plugs before by gapping them. The thing is, 90% of "pre-gapped" plugs I've checked in the past were set at the wrong gap (and were not even consistent in how far off they were). So which is riskier? Messing with the gap to make sure it's right, or leaving them alone and potentially using the wrong gap?

The car I want to import is old.enough for the 25 year rule. Has anyone done this? I know there can be complications with foreign VINs. In some states the DMV will choke on them. My dream is to import a 2-door Honda Today and turn it into pic related. Yes it would still.be a shitty little kei car. Just let me have my fantasy.

In all seriousness, how hard would it be to build an actual Canyonero? Necessary specifications: >36 feet long >Approx. 12-18 feet wide >functional 4wd >seating for 35 people >curb weight of ~130,000 lbs >able to be operated by an ordinary driver
