Someone’s being a mathy ding-dong. The ford 302 comes in at 4948.99 CC, which would round down to 4.9 L. They did say “Windsor v8.” Some people like to be smarty pantses and call out that the 5.0 doesn’t actually displace (quite) 5 liters. 

The geography of the US doesn’t support the vast majority ever having any hopes of ever being served by public transit.

if i want to buy a new car i can choose autonation or two other dealerships. Those three mega conglomerates own all the dealerships in town. Direct sales would INCREASE competition surprisingly enough!

That’s a lot of money for a device that doesn’t have a processor capable of running Windows 11, since 10 goes out of support in a little over 2 years

2005+ from what I can see (based on a couple of forums, and on checking prices of the few available for sale here), so you can get it a bit earlier than you thought!

I just dropped $3100 to replace the clutch on my My 2011 Acura TSX. With car prices where they are now the only way I’m buying a car is if my current vehicle is totalled. If prices ever come back to earth I’ll take a gander at what’s out there, but for now, I figure my 160,000 mile Acura still has plenty of miles left…

Nowhere near as much as new car prices are. Poors don’t buy new cars at all. And at this point, in most of the country if you are median income you are basically working poor, even if we still call that “middle class”.

“What you consider a lot of money could be a non-issue to other people.”

People are insane.

Financial illiteracy, especially when concerning cars is, and always has been amazing. The salesman that talked her into that got himself a good bonus that month. 

This is why I don’t even mind getting a 1000$ bill a year on repairs on my 2006 Accent. Whatever breaks, it’s always cheaper than buying a new car.

My wife has a 2015 Crosstrek, and I have driven it frequently. It’s power is more than enough, especially for the way I drive... I have had no complaints. 

I think driving your high school vehicle 20 years later is it’s own special flex.

I’m seriously tempted to buy one of those - they’re not even that expensive here in Australia (you can pick up a G50 with the wool interior for the equivalent of $13K USD).

Hate to also be that person (jk no I don’t), I would rather get hit by a car than go to any high school reunion. I got bullied for being a huge car nerd, among other things, throughout all my time in school. Those people are all dead to me and the idea of caring what any of them would think makes me want to vomit.

If money no object, then Nissan Skyline GT-R R34

Why bother with HS? But if I had to....

I am starting to build my collection of manual fun cars but I wish I would have started 5-10 years ago when all of the cars from the 80's and 90's were still somewhat affordable. If only I could go back in time and pick up a good condition and unmodified FD RX-7 for under $20K or NSX for around $30K.

Now is the time to seriously look at buying a ‘forever manual sportscar’. Because new manual sportscars are dying. And used manual sportscars in good condition are going to appreciate in value.

Good point. Probably better fuel economy and has coil packs instead of old school distributor. Still 15 degrees tilted, and known for sludge issues. Pros/cons to each motor, both will outlast us all if maintained.
