New cars are such a disappointment

Serious ? Luckeeee . Ive been looking for one near me for years and never any luck . I want the old 4 speed manual chevette !! I love those old things.

Retiring in 5 yrs and looking for a Late 60's-70's Nova to wrench on.....

Geez no class.

Yer damn right honey . Im caveman supreme. Dont you have a husband you could be complaining to ???

I already went into all that

I want a rust bucket Ford

I am my own kind of car freak. The one I loved the best? The 69 Dodge Charger. Or the 80 Turbo Trans Am w the five color blue firebird.
It's a toss up. Have dreams I still drive those.

PS I bought them myself Honey.

Nice

So much can be done on a Nova

Great car

They ran forever, chevette never dies

I actually lied OP sorry . My 98 taurus doesnt have a sport of rust on it .

My 96 Bronco however has rust . Both still run awesome though .

I seriously want to get ahold of a Mustang II (Cobra if possible), restore it and make it shine!

I drove one for a bit less than a year. They are so freaking ugly I'll look good standing by it in comparison.

The Bronco is coming back in 2017

Pretty cool looking truck

With a little knowledge you can make your car yours.
Dig in, learn ohms law, and go from there.

And it's sensors.

Or you could regress back to the old days, which works too if you don't have the drive to learn electronics.

It's a great idea, but I've talked with master mechanics and Traction Control, one of my biggest peeves, is so thoroughly embedded you just can't bridge something here or unplug something there, it's made to be an essential part of the whole vehicle "system".

Same damned thing with freakin side mirrors. I have all the connections for an upgrade to fancier side mirrors, but they don't function and cannot be made to function even though they are right freaking there. The dealer has to flash the car to "upgrade it". They tried it and it didn't work. Know what I did? I said fuck it, bought a pair of signalling relays and hardwired the damned things in.

Vehicles are such a damned joke these days.

I'm going back to the old days

I've learned and SEEN all I want to know

We had a good run

Sorry to almost cause your head to burst.
Where there is a will, there is a way....

I hope you enjoyed this video

Made it for you

Good night

Have fun!

Everything is going down .collective intrllect of humanity is decreasing.movies and pieces of art are not like before.simlarly gadgets and other stuff is no longer being made as per standard

yeaaaa , im lookin at it same way as you . sport/offroad/traction control ? meh ....

Mine has 2wd 4wd high and 4wd low . When this bronco dies Ill get another mid 90s bronco .

You can get these things for like 2 grand for cryin out loud hahaha.

Im old school like fat crayons my man .

Even my 2011 dualsport motorcycle has a good ol fashions carb .

Bought a shirt, washed it 3 times, the seam is already split.

Monkeys are hammering these products together

They are working very hard to take the driver out of the equation all together. You get in, tell it where you want to go and hope to hell some disgruntled worker hasn't put a software easter egg into your car.

1990 Chevy caprice. Excellent car
1994 Buick road master estate wagon. Excellent car.

I bet you the VW bug of the 60s and 70s gets nearly the same mileage that they get today...

So my 5.4 liter 2008 mercedes gets way better mileage then my 5.0 2006 mercedes got. The 5.4 liter is 382hp/389tq and 5.0 had 302hp/339tq.. so hmmm..

Then the look at bmw 5 series.. from 2009 on up they actually started to decrease the mpg and hp... they got secret bailout money to build the dirty diesel, which was going to be used as a next generation cop car by carbon concepts, the boondoggle obama shit.


Get one of those 2009 - 2011 bmw diesels, they got a 3 and x5.. benz got a 2003 to 2009 diesel as well.

They fuckin with us with the mpg on all these fake ass cars like toyota and hoondie, while europe gets the big super diesel motors... I never knew but I guess they are just better :P

no

listened to some guy bragging about how his pickup just cuts the power if it starts to slide on ice and how easy it is to drive. I pointed at my foot and said "See that?" "Here, I'll do it again" All I do is lift my toe 2mm and it quits sliding as well

Looking at a BMW i8 myself low end cars are very disappointing aren't they.

lets google image some new cars and pretend

I drive for one of the big car rental outfits, and thus get to try all the new vehicles.

The worst thing about them is that the driver is no longer physically connected to the drivetrain anymore. All the controls are electronic. You have to tell the computer what to do and the computer drives the car.

you really notice the difference making a tight U-turn on a steep grade, when every time you change gears, brake, turn etc. the computer takes a second or so to get the instructions and transmit the info and thus the power to the wheels.

nowadays i'd go for a early 2000's era Subura with a standard transmission, where you can actually feel the road below you.

Anyone watching the races today?

I really like what suburu did with the BRZ

great car, needs allot more power though
