Food uselessmay? autouseless? you get the idea. maybe. thar be cars here.

Is it bad that I'm starting to price out all the mod's I'm going to do to my car once the warranty expires?

I've got about 3k in mind already.

I think I am more concerned that you thought it was too old, and not that you thought it was an Aztec, universally recognized as the ugliest car in existence.

288K on the truck, something like 120K at least on the Mustang.

Edit:
Mustang has a 5-figure odometer, so don't know how many times it has rolled.

buying new meant I didn't have to wait a few years to get a car I really wanted that already had someone else lay the pipe to her first.
 
i'm hoping to get my celica over 200k before i have to get rid of it. it burns a quart of oil every 1500 miles, but otherwise is rock solid.

of course, now it will explode.

Nah.
Timing belt tensioner was not replaced last time, so the timing belt will let loose and the valves will kiss the pistons ever so slightly

One thing about Ubuntu, I don't have anything decent that allows me to make a banner for automotive threads... ugh

In other news, got new tires for Susie today, Potenza Wide Oval Pole Position 960s I believe, gotta look at them to double-check

Need to double-check the color of the drive gear for the speedometer, then I can order the driven gear and setup the speedo

970s, not 960s.

And I need a 17 or 18 tooth gear.

I have a '12 Speed3 and am nothing but pleased with it. It's well made, does well-ish on gas mileage (turbo), interior is really nice, and I got a screaming deal on it.

The only complaints I have with it, and these are mostly nitpicks that most people wouldn't even notice:

- No place for my right foot to rest while in cruise control. In my previous cars there's been a small elevated gap next to the gas pedal that I put my foot while in cruise, this one doesn't have it so I have to rest it on the floor.

- Sun visors are small/short. Driving into the sun when it rises/sets can be a pain in the ass.

- 6th gear isn't much higher than 5th. I get that they wanted to make the ratio short for the car to be fun to drive, but I'd like for 6th to be high enough to cruise at 80 at 2,500rpm, instead it sits at 3,500.

I have the same issue with gearing in the rx-8. I can do over 60 in 2nd gear. why in the fuck does 80mph put me at 4000rpms in 6th? :waw:
