Sup faggots. I'm here to do your cable and then fuck your wife. I haven't driven my own car since like, october, shit's not even inspected anymore. Battery is stone dead I don't feel like climbing in to the trunk from the rear seat to remove it. So sad. rip harambewagon

I need to learn to drive stick as well. Automatics suck when it comes to driving up a hill, heck automatics in general take away the driving experience and make you feel less in control. They might be convenient for not shifting, but that creates distractions. If everyone drove a manual transmission, no one would be able to text and drive.

I've wanted the Miata since I was 5 and these cars are cheap to maintain and are modifiable as fuck. Plus this one is manual transmission and is allegedly a lot fun. Its not a very fast car, but that's okay, I don't need it to be a fast car. Though its faster than the $16,000 heep of shit I currently own and drive and is overall a better fucking car because it doesn't have bullshit like auto stop/start. Someone is likely going to buy this one before I even have the chance to get my hands on it anyway.I'll be lucky if I ever find another Miata that's in great shape or at least decent shape like this one, since most seem to be trashed up and treated like crap. I still need to test drive this sucker at least once, but I'm positive I'll enjoy it.Regardless if this is my next car or not, I need to learn stick. Last time I drove stick shift was when I was 12 (it was an empty parking lot and I was supervised, but at least I've had experience even if I was too young and wasn't much. I didn't even stall when I got the car moving until I saw a fence and hit the brake hard forgetting to get it out of gear. Obviously I was 12 but I'm an adult now and a far better driver compared to being a kid.)

Removable Hardtops are pretty popular and a pricey option even by itself. I can’t view the listing but it sounds like a neat deal. You’re in the US aren’t you? You should still be able to find a decent Toyota Coroller/Sprinter AE86 Twin Cam/4A-G swapped SR5 for a good price. They’re like $20k+ over here because of Initial D but seem to be reasonably priced stateside.
I'm not a huge fan of the Toyota Coroller due to design but performance alone might get me sold on that car.But the Mazda MX-5 Miata is a car I've wanted since I was 5. No joke. As for the listing, yeah I think its a neat deal and having the removable hard top despite it being another $1000 out of my pocket would at least protect the car from water damage.I'd go to the dealer and check out this very car that I linked right now but because of this stupid Coronavirus shit I can't even do that. I have heard that a 90s Mazda Miata with automatic transmission is bad mainly because its 4 speed and you lose the fun factor with it as a result, but honestly I could end up getting that one too if I don't end up finding one that's manual assuming this car I linked gets sold. I'd still like to learn stick properly though, I've been told that I'd be better off with an automatic car either way because of how bad traffic is (pre covid-19) and that I'd get tired of driving stick really fast, Yeah I don't know about that, there are people who daily drive this car with a manual transmission and they don't seem to have a problem with it.I have done some research on the Miata. I'm avoiding the 1990-1991 models due to the short nose crank that they have which breaks easily, I'm going after one that at least has duel air bags and power steering, so that eliminates me getting one with a 1.6 engine. Originally I was going to go 1992 and up, but now I think I'm gonna go 1994 and up. I may cap it at 1997 if I want one with popup headlights or not.I'm not gonna get an ND Miata because that's $35,000 plus tax and other chargers, and its money I do not have, and the NC Miata is the least desirable. That leaves the NB and the NA Miatas, NA being the all time favorite, especially for modding.

Honestly Manuals aren’t that bad. My daily has a really heavy twin plate clutch and even with that I don’t find stop-start traffic all that tedious. For a car with a more ‘standard’ setup you should be fine.
Most recent pic. Haven't put gas in over 3 weeks cause I have nowhere to go. Longest I've gone without driving my car during these times was 4 days.
You probably should put gas in, just in case in the event there is a gas shortage because of this insanity, plus that's a bad habit to let it get close to E from what I hear when it comes to car maintenance.
Then yet again, you have historically chosen a problematic car since the Chevy Camaro has a ton of leaks from what I heard. Granted so have I, but mine is a mess from its electronic standpoint.
The only good Chevy honestly is a Corvette, everything else is questionable. I for one am never getting another modern Chevy again. Next car I'm getting is going to be Japanese.
Quote from: Jono on April 12, 2020, 05:06:30 PM Fucking same lol. It’s been 3 and a half weeks. I get 350-400 km to a tank (~220-250 miles) and I’m not even halfway empty yet. Is fuel really cheap right now for you guys too? With the exception of Diesel and E85 everything is hella cheap here.
I’m doing a GT-R Z-Tune body conversion soon, but I’m tempted to put that on hold to replace my Console Gauges (pic 1) with an MFD from a GT-R since there’s one for sale nearby and they’re hella rare (and an actual GTR is impossibly expensive rn) console gaugesMFDThoughts? I’m in no rush either way. Certainly my bodywork needs attention, but it’s all going to be a slow process regardless and I’m in doubt over whether I’ll ever get an MFD for this price ever again.
I say you should swap the gauges to make your car look more modern. It will look cleaner and nicer compared to the clunkiness of the older style. I did the same thing to my stereo and entertainment system when I had my Pontiac.
I'm thinking of getting a wicker bill like this for my car to make it a little more aggressive looking, plus the black will match with my car's stripes.

There are some impressive wheelbarrows ITT. How do you people afford them? Loans or just saving for years? Were they new or used? How many previous owners? Are there mandatory vehicle inspections in the US to check for roadworthiness etc?
