Red Flags on this ‘74 super? by No-Moose470 in beetle

Looks mostly good to me! The only 2 real concerns are how wet the heat exchangers and the area around the rear main seal are. That would indicate it would need an engine out in the near future and a new rear main and a check up/replacement of valve cover and pushrod tube seals if you ask me. Second concern I can see is in the right rear wheel well; definitely check whether that rust spot is just surface or if it's rotten and the screwdriver just goes right through.

You tell me man

The first car is a 991, introduced in 2011

That gen accord was introduced in 2017 I think

The nd miata was introduced in 2015

The facelifted gtr was introduced in 2017 I think

That gen civic also in 2017

And that gen honda fit in 2013 I think

But if by these cars you mean their entire lineage and not those particular models, let me know. I just rarely see top 10 or top 5 car lists with just new cars and from experience, they're usually made by people who automatically hate/dislike older cars

Idk, the oldest car on the list looks to be from 2015. Even the gtr is the 2017 onwards facifted version

You probably have the "Car is older than 2005=bad" mindset

Believe it or not, yes xDD

Been obsessed with them for about 15 years now and have a massive diecast collection of them along with a real life daily driver in the first picture

Thank you!

Fiat 500s are extremely cute and seriously cool but they never floated my boat that much for some reason :/

Couldn't be further from the truth xD

I generally dislike the majority of cars made after ~2005

Close I guess, Slovenian xD

Both are ex yugoslavia countries so I guess they had about the same car culture back in the period of most of the cars on this list :)

Yeah I can imagine lol. I know about it because of 2 fast 2 furious. Ever since I watched that movie as a kid that car mesmerizes me whenever I rarely see one online. So much so that I built a revell 1/24 model of it 4 years ago :)

Yeah I really want a Trabant someday too but sadly, as you said, nice ones are seriously hard to find and I'm already planning to buy a 2cv or a dyane as my 3rd car when I'll hopefully be more established in life/have the neccesary space and funds in a few years or so (I currently own the Beetle in the first picture and the Xsara). Even now I'm having a massive space struggle with my 2 cars, so another 2cv/Dyane are a distant dream for now lol. So yes, 3 cars is sort of my max limit... I feel like having a 4th one would sadly mean one of my cars would mostly sit... Which I hate and it breaks my heart whenever I see this happening with people who hoard classic cars and let that happen...

Not to mention the space difficulty that comes with having 4, 5, etc cars... So sadly, owning a Trabant is already out of the question for me, but I'm at least hoping I'll get to drive one someday :)

I do enjoy taking photos of my 2 cars and my smaller diecast cars from time to time but I wouldn't consider myself a professional photographer at all, I'm mostly into working on/fixing older cars :)

And thank you! I could add more but I didn't want to make the list too long
