I honestly dont like any bmws besides the 1, 2, and z series. I like small lightweight cars

Anybody here have any experience with a fox body mustang?
There's an '85 gt with 96k miles for sale near me.
What should I look out for?

Look out for the front strut towers. They tend to rust.

Atleast worn tires perform better. Just don't go out in the rain and pretend you have semi slicks on

'86 Toyota MR2, black.

All those nights cruising around on lonely highways, listening to vaporwave and synthwave mixes on shitty cassettes I made myself just for the true old school retro feeling. Lighting a cigarette with the old school cig lighter (they barely make those anymore). The little robotic varuuum-tish sound that the headlights make when they pop up. The feel of the road as there's no power steering, no traction control, everything's mechanical like a real car and not like one of those modern computer cars.

No other feeling like that in the world, man. It's one of those things you can just do all night as long as you got gas money.

Sounds amazing dude

Duce =/= Douche

You fucking retard.

>tfw gas is too expensive to go on extensive night drives
ffs

He's actually thinking of "deuce," as in "I gotta drop a deuce," not "douche."

It doesn't apply either way, though, "duce" is pronounced "doo-chay."

I would be scared of driving those since I wouldnt want anything happen to the car.
But then again I want to get a Supra mk3

...

Thinking of picking up an MR2 or Miata as my track car. Dailying a 1997 TJ jeep right now as my '16 GTI got repo'd and my 99 Volvo V70R hit a deer going 60mph 3 hours later.

Do they sell those to us consumers? The biposto is a mass produced car any (yuropoor) can buy

Driving around at night seems like it would be pretty cool.

But I'm never getting a car or driver's license. Too expensive.

Vector W8

I saw one here in Florida the other day. They used to make them a city over. They only made like 13 of them in the entire world, so it was super rare.

You can buy a turnkey R5 as well, and it's street legal, at least in Europe. It costs like 3 times as much as Biposto and it's even less practical as a street car, though - but in return it's AWD with 300-ish HP and a racing sequential gearbox, not to mention all the racing goodies like fire suppression, full cage, aero, datalogging/telemetry a spares package, etc. I've been dreaming for years about getting one and putting some a muffler and some tint on it so it's less obvious what it is and then taking it to my local canyons.

I saw one of those at Cars & Coffee a few years back, along with whatever the second-gen Vector was called. Really cool cars.

And those fucking rear lights! Jesus! Thing is so 80s. Must be a pain in the ass to reverse in I'd imagine

I have a 1st gen mazda 3, considering it's just an econobox its a pretty fun car. In fact, i'm liking it more and more every day. I got her some light wheels, now i'm planning on getting a minor brake upgrade and coilovers somewhere in the future. If anyone asks, i tell them i'll be keeping the car for 10 more years.
I also bought a supermoto baiku, i'm getting a license for it, though i'm already thinking of selling it, i kinda lost interest in riding.

Thank m8. I think battle scars look good. I don't get too hardcore off road though cuz I'm a bussy. Seriously haven't even dropped it yet.

Robbed and killed since they shoot you first, check if you are not a cop and them go away. If you are a cop they shoot your head again.

R25. I love Alonso so much more than I love myself. Those engines make the best fucking sound known to man.

I'm not even a Civic douche and this is my daily, but man I love this cat. Civics are really good cars. You can beat on them and as long as you're doing it with some judgement it takes it without a problem. Mine is fully equiped and it's a really comfortable car for something so inexpensive. I paid 10k overall for it with the mags included. Only one owner who was an old dude.

Can confirm this is the best feeling ever. I have some friends who have like 5 80's MR2's between them (some parts cars with 2 running models.) They used to let me drive them when I was learning how to drive manual and there's something about that mid engine RWD chassis that's magical.

TFW 1st gen MR2s are non-existent in my area

This is the first time I've been properly jealous of anybody on Jow Forums, that's pretty much exactly the car I've been fantasizing about buying for the last few years. (Ever since I got to drive one hard on a twisty road.) I really want a 997.2 C2S, so I've gotta scrape up something like 50k to get one.

I had a red '87 with a JDM hi-comp redtop and a few other mods for a while. Great car. My weird favorite thing about it was the feel of the throttle, it was slick and heavy in a way that really made you feel like you had great control over it.

What about a boxster? A good clean one can be had for 15k

Used boxsters are a great price/performance purchase but Porsche owners are douches and the stigma of driving the cheapest Porsche is pretty real

Not interested, it's the rear-engine layout that draws me to the 911. The Boxster is a good car (and the Cayman is even better), but it's a completely different kind of driving experience and one that I'm not that into. There are plenty of other MR options anyway, I think you can even get a used Elise for less than 20 now and I'd rather have that than a Boxster, especially because Porsches in that price range pretty much all have the IMS bearing cancer.

I pwned one for a lityle while, more like I was landed one by a friend, really fun cars. I saw gen 1 for sale so far and never had the money. Back then they were cheap, but now they're worth quite a penny and I don't really want to invest my savings into this alone.

Pros: Absolute handling(unless you suck), Actually perfectly reliable as a daily if you live somewhere where winter doesn't exist, the most fuel efficient car I've ever had with its small ass 4A-GE, pop up headlights and looks goddamn sexy all the time. Also the smoothest gearshifting I have experienced on a 80's car that was somewhat beaten. Even my 2013 Civic didn't have such smooth shifting.
Cons: It's a two seater that might as well have been a one-seater. Anyone sitting shotgun will be a supreme annoyance as they have no place to rest their arm but their knees and since their knees kinda gets in the way of the gearstick, shifting becomes tiresome. It's a SMALL ass car. I'm 5'11" and my knees were constantly grazed by the steering wheel. My 6'1" roommate simply couldn't drive it as the steering wheel was always blocked by his knees. This is legit a car made for manlets.

I wish it could have been mine, but oh well, just being able to daily it for a summer is fine with me. I spotted a mint one last summer during a roadtrip, but me and my friend didn't take any info since we were poorfags.

I really fucking love the Mazda RX-7 FD, have been like that since I was a child.
Aside from that I'm not all that much of a car guy, though I obviously like them

If you ever own one, the one thing you have to be aware of is that these cars get fucking burning hot! Most people who mod them invest more on life support than actually boosting performance.
Also they are revving engines, the rotary was designed for performance and 0% for reliability. Nobody who doesn't like to revuild the engine every month would daily these cars.
Also, no power before 6000 RPM, but once you get there it becomes a fucking beast.

What about the MX-5? Pretty cheap if bought used and looks great imo
Also how about the fuel consumption?
That's also important unless you're a richfag sigh

It's sad to say, but there's a good reason so many FDs end up with LS or other V8s in them.

>Nobody who doesn't like to revuild the engine every month would daily these cars.
Is that actually doable by anyone who takes their time to learn the process or just a mechanician thing?
I'd like to keep my dream of owning one in the future (only 20 RN), but if it's TOO MUCH I'll have to just give it up I guess

Going to upgrade from a 5-mt '13 Focus 2.0 to a 6-MT Mazda3 2.5, anyone has driven it? I'd get a miata but they're ricetaxed and I need something 4 door.

Pic related is my car. 2009 Corolla with a sporty roof rack, what do you robots think of corollas in general?

Something about a Ferrari that nothing else quite matches.

I heard all the stories about them being extremely good to drive were also true so that's a bonus.

Night driving is the reason I live for. Whether its cruising around the city at 3am listening to the best music on offer or taking the curvy mountain roads for a while to go see the sunrise over the horizon of the city. These are the moments I live for. The solace that I find in the empty open streets and the conversations with the like minded. I've met so many single guys that all they like doing is the same. Sometimes we get a good group of us going up the nearest curvy set of tarmac. These are the moments I live for.

I can only judge the aesthetics of the car since I don't know jack shit about engines, but man they're cool.
As a pizzalander, I second this.
Other Italian brands like Lamborghini might match Ferrari, though.
I'd be very curious to drive a Pagani but I think I've seen like one in my whole 20 years of suffering...

I've driven both Ferraris (360, 430, and 458) and Lamborginis (Gallardo, Murcielago, and Huracan.) I still enjoy 911s more than either.

Comfy cars. Had a corolla before my abarth, great for cruising.

They are getting more and more expensive. Better off with the rx8 if you want a rotary imo.

Thanks mr. lonely driver.
Much love

Same here. I am depressed 24/7 except when i take my car on to a backroad. Cars really are the greatest cope. I am glad i started these car threads here, makes me feel like i'm not the only one.

Alot of rich people are robots. Look at elliot rodgers. Money can't buy a cure for autism

The Miata brand is a better choice for reliability, but in terms of power and performance, it's a baby compared to the FD, Especially if it's the sequential twin turbo FD. However, the strenght of the MX-5 and other Miatas is the 50-50 weight distribution. It is pretty much perfectly balanced, what it lacks in power it makes up in control and handling. It's a perfect track car. Most muscles can't even beat a Miata when the road gets tough. Fuel consumption wise, an RX7 drinks more gas than a V8 RAM and I'm not eve joking. Most of the reason why it's such a bitch is that how rotaries are made, you have 3 explosions per one crankshaft rotation as opposed to cylinder block engines where you get one explosion per rotation. Basically, a rotary iis always burning gas at every moment. Also because you only get power at high RPM so if you wanna get fun out of it you must stick into the 6k rpm range.
True, but it ruins the experience. Sure your car becomes more reliable and also more powerful, but it's no longer an RX7 so what's the point?

It's more of an exxageration, but the advantage of a rotary in terms of maintenance is that they are incredibly simple engines in terms of design. Extremely easy to understand and rebuild, but they break all the time due to design issues and over heating. Most owners have to change the apex oil seals on the rotor every few months because they tend to fail often and once they do, oil gets in the compression chamber and burns with the gas so you end up losing motor oil and encrassing the engine with burned oil residue and since the apex seals are on the rotor, the heart of the engine, it implies a full engine dissassembly. They are not hard to assemble and dissassemble, but it's still time you have to invest and when you have to do it several times a year, you get tired of the car real quick.
Keep in mind there are a lot of owners who don't have to do this level of maintenance, if you're cateful with the xar it will never fail, but then you won't get any fun out of it. These cars are meant to be pushed.

Idk, perhaps my sight of reality is warped by the fact that in Italy making THAT much money is very, very unique and very rarely seen.
People including myself are not taught to jump into entrepreneurship and also Italy's economy is very poor and stagnant.
That said, I don't really think rich robots make a huge part of this board, probably not even a 10%
>Elliot Rodgers
Come on he was the son of some Hollywood VIP or whatever, how many people in the world can even say that kek

Thanks for the insightful explanation, to be fair I won't be getting on a circuit or whatever for at least 10 years and in the same way I won't have money for an FD let alone buying that and paying the absurd amount of money required to run your car in a circuit in Pizzaland (and probably having your rotari engine go and fuck itself during the whole process)
Sorry if I'm being rude, but when it comes to fuel consumption I was referring to the MX-5 which I might MAYBE (if I get into uni I'll be studying without working for the next like 6-7 years) afford if my parents give me some help !

I heard in spaghetti land abarths are crazy expensive. Like a used one doesn't depreciate. In amuttica, you can pick one up for 7500 dollars

I don't remember the displacement for a MX-5, but considering they are inline 4, it shoukdn't be more than 3l at most. Realistically, it's probably 2.5l.
Still, they may be making V6 on them nowadays, but they are somewhat fuel efficient. A 2.5 is not so bad, but if you are used to driving 1.8l cars, you'll see a pretty big difference.
I suggest you google the model you want if you wanna know its displacement.

Its a 1.6 for the 1991-1996, 1.8l for the 1998-2003, 2.0l 2004-current year
