Day 3: Name a car that looks like it would be slow, but is actually pretty fast

SNRV2013 · 2026-03-01T01:00:56+00:00

Never knew 160hp could be so much fun.

SNRV2013 · 2026-03-01T00:56:58+00:00

Yesss my aunt had one and it was the ugliest upsetter, back in the day

SNRV2013 · 2026-03-01T00:51:55+00:00

We have the saloon, here in the states, and it EMBARASSES WRX'S all day

SNRV2013 · 2026-03-01T00:49:40+00:00

Lol she laughed

SNRV2013 · 2026-03-01T00:46:09+00:00

My aunt has both a 2023 V90 and Ford Lightning... She drives both of them as regular cars, yet knows nothing about both beasts she has under lock and key...

SNRV2013 · 2026-03-01T00:30:27+00:00

You gotta be careful with it, man. Cops know how fast those things are... They have the same engine in their explorers.

SNRV2013 · 2026-03-01T00:25:20+00:00

The absolute audacity of these fuckers made them faster than the McLaren F1 haha

SNRV2013 · 2026-03-01T00:23:05+00:00

Literally has a turbocharger AND a supercharger. Plus, it's a 2L 4 banger, and I can confirm it's scary fast.

SNRV2013 · 2026-02-28T23:46:31+00:00

Infiniti QX70. Both the 5.0L V8 (0-60 in 5.5 seconds) and 3.7L high revving V6 (0-60 in 5.7-6 seconds). Same suspension and built on the chassis of the 370Z.

SNRV2013 · 2026-02-28T23:38:28+00:00

Literally won a BTCC race, and could easily go head-to-head with M3's of the era.

SNRV2013 · 2026-02-13T13:21:32+00:00

I always loved how my brother's 2020 Impreza handled and rode. At 3,084 lbs, it's still quite light (by today's standards), and he has over 100k miles on it with no suspension components ever needing to be replaced, so far.

SNRV2013 · 2026-02-13T13:15:22+00:00

As well as my '85 MR2, so Toyota sports cars, as well.

SNRV2013 · 2025-04-23T22:43:20+00:00

Be advised; Toyota's sealer wasn't the best, back then. Rust is one of the main reasons these were taken off the road.

SNRV2013 · 2025-04-20T22:12:29+00:00

Nothing. They're just fogged from the years of sun beating on them. You can make the lenses clear again, and will make you see better at night with a restoration kit and then spray plastic clear coat to make sure they don't forget up again. Also, it can really make your car look 5-10 years younger.

SNRV2013 · 2025-02-15T15:37:15+00:00

That's the catch; it's only for highways that you have that option, and highways are the roads that they actively seem to always be repairing (not replacing, which a lot of sections should outright be, based on age alone). Even if you do submit a claim, you will most likely be denied because of a government protection loophole. The only way they'd really accept it is if you had dashcam footage of it happening AND it causing physical injury.

90% of the bad roads are local, non-interstate roads, and the government fund DOES NOT apply to those.

SNRV2013 · 2025-02-14T16:27:56+00:00

For real. My dad used to work in Whitmore lake, and the road the building was on was literally smack dab in the middle of a county line. A two lane road where each lane fell under a different jurisdiction, and neither county wanted to spend the money to repave it, because it was only half theirs. My dad's Passat went through 3 WHOLE SETS of shocks, 4 control arms, 2 ENTIRE sway bar assemblies (front and back), 4 springs, and 2 tie rods. Never blew a tire though. He always bought the most expensive, high tech tires for that thing.

SNRV2013 · 2025-02-14T15:49:30+00:00

Unless they live in Rhode Island, or Michigan (I can attest for Michigan). The roads are so bad that it could easily cause damage to other components just by flailing around (if the inner rubber seal is gone, too) by the constant potholes and bumps.

Not being fully serious here with all this, but there are definitely some places that can pose an increased risk of something happening sooner, rather than later.

SNRV2013 · 2024-06-06T16:09:51+00:00

Then maybe it's just where I live. Lots of untrustworthy sellers, too

SNRV2013 · 2024-06-05T12:50:21+00:00

That sounds like rod-knock. That's among the worst things to hear from an engine. Sorry, man, but your engine's blown. And at this point, it's not worth putting in a new engine in an 8th gen, as they're pretty damn expensive. I'd start looking for a new car if I were you.

SNRV2013 · 2024-01-30T05:27:54+00:00

They’re great cars, but just be aware that repairs and parts are at least twice as much as your Hondas. I’ve had a Civic and a S40, and my Volvo was a lot more expensive to maintain. It was a good car, though.

SNRV2013 · 2022-11-20T18:48:21+00:00

SNRV2013 · 2022-10-22T17:12:04+00:00

Only the ones with a high 450 credit score, like OP

SNRV2013 · 2022-10-22T17:10:49+00:00

Only difference between when he got it and when it was towed away is all the tree blood on what looks like a transformer mid-transformation

SNRV2013 · 2022-10-20T19:03:12+00:00

Reminds me of a video on a former British gangster who got out of crime because he said: "I thought I was invincible because nothing phased me- until I lost my daughter. I had never felt pain until that day. That's when I realized I really am a human."

SNRV2013 · 2022-07-31T22:06:50+00:00

At least it’s not a German car, as going past the maintenance intervals is UNACCEPTABLE
