CISMALES DID 9-11 posted:I have often wondered this myself because to me it's like .... so you pay more money and spend more on gas for the temptation to get pulled over more often ? Cool..... because you have a tiny dick and like showing up shitheads in porsches that then melt down when a corolla outsprints them to 30 so they try to merge into you?

Mariana Horchata posted:sporty japanese shitboxes from the 80s up to the mid 90s were the best aside from the inevitable rust literally anything will rust if you drive it on a salted road which means most of the cool european cars from the 1990s are strictly do not touch territory  I can at least understand the cult of the M3 and STI stuff because there was a time when Subarus and BMWs were at the top of their respective world motorsport classes.

 possibly the worst car ever designed - exposed paintwork surfaces inside on a modern execu-grade saloon? what a great idea! why not make the whole car look like a deformed egg? if this is what australians consider a good car then it probably explains a lot about Howtobasic.

Mariana Horchata posted:all true. i even feel like an rear end in a top hat driving my still clean and rust free 190E through the last two new england winters after spending most of its past winters parked away in a garage, but then i just remind myself that its just a car and its dumb to get so attached to material objects that get driven daily year round. spraying the salt off with a pressure washer every week or so seems to be working out in the short term...plus older, pre- mid 90s german and swedish cars seem to have a strong natural resistance to the poo poo as well. 190Es are also passable - Cosworth models especially. German poo poo is generally pretty resistant because they didn't do stupid poo poo like certain Italian car brands who may have used salt water to cool the steel in the shells/frames and ended up impregnating the salt directly into the loving metal before painting over it. Which is a shame because most late 80s/early 90s Italian stuff otherwise owns.

dk2m posted:i think it's 25 years right? we're going to start seeing trickles of horribly rusted gtrs, cosmos', etc from canada start making it down here soon, if we aren't already I think it's 25 years in the US. From what I can tell it works like this US: 25 years, still have to pass emissions tests (?) in some states AU: 25 years, all have to be RHD even if it means converting NZ: 20 years, hence we get to cannibalise all the good poo poo in Japan first. LHD is a separate permit. Limited exemptions for emissions/frontal impact regs for cars newer than 20 years old. The downside is Kiwis are absolute hoons so we've basically bought all the good R32s and we'll have first cracks at the Tomi Makinen Evos and the decent Imprezas too. Trochanter posted:What?! Why? Is fresh water scarce in Italy of something? No but apparently not being a shithead was in short supply. It basically affected one model of car and apparently they were already visibly rusting as the truck took them out the front gate of the factory. Some of their other cars rusted too but no more than any other car given the equivalent treatment but the damage was done and everyone associated them with rust, even when they were building arguably the greatest hatchback ever built with zero problems.

Trochanter posted:All right, I give up. My google-fu is weak. Which car is it? A Lancia Beta? Fiat 124? Alfa Romeo Alfasud? Yea, the Betas. Lancia have to be the most amazing car company for having built possibly the worst car ever but also some the best. E: Bonus round It probably saved Holden for a little while, but it also means that the interior of Aussie Commodores have a whole bunch of out-of-place stuff and poo poo that makes no sense just so they could switch the driver position to LHD. I'd imagine it's the same for the GTO but in reverse.  Butt Wizard fucked around with this message at 03:57 on Feb 13, 2015 |

Mariana Horchata posted:that was the same replica kit that was on top gear right (with the simultaneously worst and best lap ever)? p sure that one also had an Alfa V6 nah i think the broken one was a Hawk - the Lister Bell one is relatively new. The Alfa V6 is a pretty common transplant engine given there's a 24 valve 3.2l version. the Hawk ones used the same engines but that kit is super ancient now. http://www.listerbell.com/products/str CAD and everything. Modern as gently caress.

1gnoirents posted:if you think these are overrated you dont know much lol. there was never a car as solid and as capable as that one that ive owned or driven anyway. it left such an impression on me ill probably get another one The older ones owned but the bug eyed ones were such a come down. They had the job of following on from where the 22B left off, which was already Peak Impreza and would occupy a spot in my garage if I had a spare $50K. Plus, the whole WRC thing. It was hilarious watching one of the greatest cars in rallying go from being a front-runner to being unable to cross a small stream without grinding to a halt.

Wendigee posted:still not sure why the WRX was posted in this thread as over rated its rated perfectly as awesome because it is the best i4 ever. The later models are rubbish. The early ones are a bunch of fun but the later models were too big and heavy and even stopped functioning well as rally cars, which was their entire raison d'etre in the first place. The old ones looked good and kicked rear end, but the later ones were ugly as sin and couldn't win poo poo. Also loving lol if you think the Impreza is the best inline four ever because that's poignantly dumb. E: Also the new Focus RS has the Mustang engine in it and is 300 HP with an AWD torque vectoring system. If you can afford to buy one but don't then you are gay.
