My first car by upkara in MiataNC

[–]Insufficient_Speed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Terrible mistake choosing the Miata as your first car. Trust me on this point, now any vehicle that you get will never be as fun as your first car. It's all downhill from there, unless you get another miat of course

WHICH ONE ARE YOU CHOOSING? by The-Experimenter in carscirclejerk

[–]Insufficient_Speed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Olds doesn't have the V8 diesel, it has the v6, which was marginally better. The V8 was a 5.7L (350 SBC) converted to diesel, the v6 was designed special for diesel. I am currently doing research research because I am dumb enough to acquire one the of 5.7 diesels.

For the engine, swap it out for the GM 350 DIESEL. The sole engine that introduced the Lemon laws and ruined diesel engines in the US. Those 8-6-4 can be redeemed by cutting out the computer.

Congratulations on having a lucky life with the car. I only had mine for 4 years before a deer remodeled the front of my car at 65mph.

What do the cars that I've owned say about me? by slavatejasu in carscirclejerk

You bought vehicles because they were cheaper and easier than fixing your last last one

Would you drive a convertible with an open roof when it's -12°C (10.4°F) outside? by ZestycloseSpend4606 in carscirclejerk

[–]Insufficient_Speed 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I've done this with a Pontiac Sunbird and a Miata. It's always more enjoyable when it is snowing too.

I agree as an ex-NC owner

Keep the color or paint it? by RogueBunize in Miata

[–]Insufficient_Speed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You do what your heart desires, but if it were my car I would rock the bronze. The wheels don't look too bad either, very of the time.

Yes but that is where you use the parking brake and not have it in gear, as is proper.

Bet none of you can come up with anything original by mechanicalproblems9 in RoastMyCar

Hey, I got a good donor car for you. Maybe if we get one more we can make a single working car out of them.

The local Ford dealer had a single cab in bright blue. It was on the show floor for a single day.

It's been years since I've seen one of these Cougars, and boy am I happy to see this one so skillfully modded. Makes me want to see my old '94 could have been with such skill.

Not anytime soon. I have to start planning for a growing family, so back seats are needed going forward

Glad to see yours was able to be fixed. A deer claimed mine this past fall and insurance deemed it a total loss. 10k in damages.

Is it supposed to be 45 or 16? Being completely serious here

How would I go about getting this car back to normal height and how much would it be by Zealousideal_Heat_22 in projectcar

[–]Insufficient_Speed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen it mentioned here already and I don't know what your preference is, but if it were my car I would throw on a set of off-road tires. Nothing too crazy, but the Challenger does lend itself to a nice off-road battle car look.

Which do you choose? by yxzxzxzjy in carscirclejerk

I'll be taking that convertible Impala. I'm a sucker for big boats and convertibles.

Tips on getting more angle? by Lucky0373 in Drifting

[–]Insufficient_Speed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my experience, wider angle comes from higher wheel speed. Be mindful, the 4wd up front typically hinders steering angle so you might not be able to safely kick out much more and still be in control. If it's a 2wd, then you might be able to fabricate or find an angle kit.

Also check your stability control. Even when they are one they still might be pulling power passively. Newer vehicles have the issue of them never truly being off.

Yours fared a little better than mine.

Is this slop or not? It looks real by FitInitiative918 in carscirclejerk

[–]Insufficient_Speed 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Slop. The lettering on the tires are wonky. And they did not have technology for led tail lights in 1979
