But everybody plays The Game

The Laws of Thermodynamics:

Do exactly what you did, kid. My 1984 Porsche 944 was expensive, but I learned everything about cars since it broke down quite a bit. Sometimes I’d watch mechanics wrench on it and talk to them. Other times I’d go off the Haynes shop manual with my dad’s socket set.

I’m of firm belief that if you ever want to learn

Never finance. Just buy weird old used shit and spend your money fixing it.

Now playing

Rob Parsons (chairslayer) drifts a manual car completely on handcontrols.

Ah, you see, there’s where you went wrong... If I’m seeing that picture correctly, you bought a naturally-aspirated four-cylinder Subaru.

They’re well-designed inside, comfortable, and the back seats can hold actual, living adult people (at least two of them), but beware the build quality. It is, shall we say, less than stellar. My 2016 R/T driver’s side door inner panel rattles if I have the music loud (but not obnoxiously loud), the doors and trunk

Yeah, this. Poser would be the aforementioned CT200h on Michelin PSS. I’d rather daily drive on AS tires and swap on a set of performance summers when needed than replace $200 tires every 15-20k miles.

2017 is exhausting.

Which is why labeling a people who were born in a certain era is idiotic since anyone is subject to this sort of thing, just change the product.

Car buying advice for Millennials - get a $600 Volvo and forget about car payments.

Fixating on a monthly payment as the “hurdle” for affordability is nothing new. Baby boomers with 15 or 30 year notes on RVs are a prime example.

What are you talking about? Craigslist is full of cars with V4s. Do some research dude.

Slight misnomer. Larger exhaust piping per amount of exhaust means the exhaust gasses move slower which makes more back-pressure which in turn reduces performance (See Bernoulli Principle). It’s an old fallacy that engines need a certain amount of back-pressure to run properly. Back-pressure means exhaust gasses

And run the risk of having it stolen.

I really don’t understand why I had to scroll down so far to find the CAI mentioned.

Back in the day, these were the clearest possible indicator.

Tacoma Sport, what’s your function?

I think we’re done here.

Stance, yo.
