a car made in 2015

if a car is older then 10 years it should be illegal to drive it

ps next year getting a new one

new cars are garbage
- tiny porthole windows thanks to pedestrian impact safety standards. my tiny coupe has more glass than some crossovers.
- almost 1 foot of empty space between the engine and hood thanks to pedestrian impact safety standards.
- cheap plastic interiors, interior rattles, fake leather, shitty "touch" buttons that have no physical feedback.
- forced to option touch screen (re: ugly interiors) to get performance options.
- low build quality; my 28 year old shitbox has better panel gaps than some 2016 $100,000 cars for example Teslas. Open & shut the door on a 2016 bmw and do the same with an e30. You can tell right away which one was made in Germany.
- designed so you can't work on them, some even designed so indie mechanics can't work on them, have fun being a slave to the dealer.

i have people offer to trade 201* cars for my 28 year old bmw all the time, sometimes with cash on top. i laugh every time.

tt got a knock about a month ago, rebuild this winter but this is like my 3rd build so kinda annoying at same time, maintenance is pretty bad but if you do right things like egr delete etc much easier to work on.

see that's what i mean by "you can definitely get 500hp off stock internals, but isn't gonna be reliable" if its already that much work at stock boost.

idk some people are all about the epeen numbes, personally i'll build for conservative & reliable boost any day unless its a track rat.

id never run 500 on stock internals but mine isnt stock and still runs on low boost, no idea how this knock happened yet... shit is retarded not even 80k on it

heard the biggest way to make a TT reliable is to swap the turbos with a single large one, but it sounds like you have a different problem :/

i honestly wish my motor would die. i stopped doing valve jobs hoping it will break but i can't kill it. it's such a lump of shit but i know i won't ever have the heart to pull the original motor until it's broken. even if i'm broke as fuck when it decides to break, a shitty e36 motor would make it daily drive so much better.

nah single is trash, this shit happened when my battery died and some old guy had jumper cables that looked like they were from ww2 my car clicked over but didnt sound right so another guy pulled up in a brand new f250 with new cables and jumped me off, soon as i went to leave store it started knocking a lil bit saw my oil pressure dropping so i knew i needed to get it home, havent started it since to be honest i may not have to tear it down it sounds like its from the top possible lifter but i havent even bothered yet.

single is for big power but way slower boost lag, tt is way quicker on the jump.

this is a single 700 hp on stock internals, ugly as fuck car tho.

oh also they're almost all very ugly because of the high beltlines/small windows, tall hoods, and the swoopy organic lines they use to trick your eyes into not noticing how ugly and fat they are.

201* is the golden era for motors. power for dollar. but the worst era for everything else.

only newer vehicle i will buy is another truck plan to trade f150 for nice toyota

[Vibrate]

the cheap plastic layers is what bothers me, engine bays are clustered all fucked with plastic, engine constantly throwing codes as it gets older, fuel and computer systems get all fucked then u gotta worry about braking problems with it literally seen newer cadillacs have the car completely stop and lock up due to it throwing a code

i didnt like muscle much when i was younger but i plan to build me one next year gonna start with just a foxbody mustang 5.0 with the LX light body, can make a fast build without much money at all and be fast. strip the gay pony emblems, then im sure eventually something i actually want
