you don't need a car. stop being a fucking sheep.
Blackbelts are just whitebelts who have never quit.
lose the crown vic, its not helping you with girls. And never tell a girl how awesome you think they are._j5689_ wrote:
Predictably, I would say get a Crown Vic but a lot of people care a lot about gas mileage. I just love my car anyway
If you're looking for longevity, they regularly last over 300K easily, I test drove an 03 Police Interceptor with 343K, the ride was a little bit sloppy but everything worked, the guy had another one with 401K he was selling for more cuz it ran better. And more recently, a guy on the Crown Vic forums had a 96(same stuff as current models) with 640,000 on the original drivetrain and then it got T-boned and rolled so now he uses it for parts
Here's one with 365K on it for sale in VA:

As a matter of fact I actually had my first kiss in it-Whiteroom- wrote:

Do this. I drove a '93 Civic for 5 years and my mother took it over after I left the country. I fucked it over pretty good but the engine never gave in. Neither did the gearbox. You will need parts no matter what car you buy though, so go around and ask dealers about prices for things like brake pads, fanbelts etc.-Sh1fty- wrote:
Found some civics with close to 100,000 miles and around ~$3000. They seem like really good deals and are supposedly in great condition. I also found some newer rangers. One from 2001 with only 100,000 miles for 4000 but I'll offer him 3 in cash and see what he says.
It's not about being America Fuck Yeah, it's about not trying to force your cultural norms on others. Euros like hatchbacks for some reason. That's fine. I just get sick of the ignorance displayed by people who have zero experience outside of their own culture trying to make observations about others.Sisco wrote:

In Hamburg those parts were ridiculously overpriced because Civics hardly brake unless crashed into something.
If you look at the Civics, check the tip of the hood and the wheel arch for rust, all models until the early 2000´s suffer from that (altough Cali weather might do its part to prevent that). Also the oil drain screw, they tend to leak after several years. Ask for the ignition coil and cam belt, when they were changed last. Also wheel bearing, if the rubber is still in good condition and there are no leaks. Civics are generally very stiff, those things take a beating.
And please, stay off the trucks. You really don´t need one unless you are going to be a "america fuck yeah jay knob" kinda guy.
Right? Pure ignorance.-Whiteroom- wrote:
I like how he posted 2 Rangers, and an old F150 and people are all, "fucking american small penis red-neck trucks!"
No, you are making assumptions based on your own perceptions. This has nothing to do with cultural norms but with common sense in a time that economically and environmentally requires us to think differently.Jay wrote:

You, however, have shown yourself to be a genuinely stupid person. Congrats.

And btw, "forcing cultural norms" on your own culture is equally ignorant. "Us Americans always liked trucks, there be ice in hell before that changes"
Nobodies forcing anything, Sh1fty hasn't given a single reason for needing a truck but he still 'wants' one for some reason.Jay wrote:

Yes, to a certain degree for certain tasks. None of which shifty ever mentioned. And even on the off chance he really needs a truck to haul whatever, he should base his decision on economical factors and consider alternatives to your standard 12 year old gas guzzler.UnkleRukus wrote:

Stupid arguments about stupid things.
