First car thread

[techswede]

the Merc 190 is a 30 years old car and still performs a lot better than modern cars which makes it truly iconic all over the time! Seriously, i will consider buy one of those with petrol engine!

Try finding a manual straight six one. Or a 2,3/2,5-16v then^^ That's where the performance is

The 2,3 8v can keep up with modern traffic.. But that's about it (Still beats most volvo 740s though )

96' laser red Mustang GT. It was a pretty car till some asshat crashed into it in Florida when it was parked in a parking lot minding its own business.

yup, that's right but i still love looking for the Merc W123 cars, they are utterly reliable and solid!

 

hmm, found one with straight six and it's the 190E 2,6, it looks phenomenal! 

[Jacona]

Triple hand-me-down of this

found it but in France, it has a mileage of 108K and it is manual and has a petrol engine exactly the 190E 2,6 with a straight six!

A few days after gtting it running. Painted with rattle cans.

 

Next summer before my daughter was born.

Not to sink your boat, but next time, don't rice cars like this. If it has crazy mods and colours and no performance enhancements, it's probably a ricer.

Oh. I'm aware. It was Primer Grey with Gloss Black bumpers when I got it. I had to paint it. So I decided on the color: Matte Ridiculous. LOL It was quicker than my friends Porsche 944 and other friend non-VTEC Civic. Plus, I got the car for FREE.

 

Here. Have some moar rice.

Oh god, the fart can. If you can, put a VTEC engine in there. And put some TASTEFUL mods.

That car is long gone. Did you see my Mustang video at the end of my original post? I scare kids with that now. Top of this page.

this shit happens in Florida, I don't understand.

 

Go out with a few friends for an 11pm movie, I parked in the back behind the movie theater in lot that was practically empty, no cars around mine for at least 20 parking spots. Maybe a couple of cars in total around.

come back out at like 2:30, dent in my rear fender.

 

i

i just dont understand, almost completely fucking empty parking lot.

 

it's literally unfathomable, fucking Florida.

I stood there for at least 5 minutes yelling at everyone trying to figure out how in the fuck this even happens since I parked here to avoid that shit

that ecoboost burnout gave some giggles tho

[TymmVonD]

I got carried away and posted my entire car history up there. I'm a ricer at heart. The Fiesta had a fart can as well, and about a month after we traded it in for the Fusion, some asshole dumped rice on the hood. I told my wife, "My fans demand moar rice". She still wouldn't let me put exhaust on it though.

You think Florida's bad. Try California. Too many elderly people trying to drive. Some 90 year old ran into the side of our car. And when I parked, there was no cars for like 50 spaces. I go shopping.  I come back, only to see the back is totally rear ended. What the fuck.

[Poohy14]

I have a few vehicles and a computer and thats the best thing to have

Our Mustang got backed in to by some idiot in a parking lot. She hit it three times before she realized what she was doing. Door was bashed in to oblivion.

Hey! That's where that ^ story happened.

[TymmVonD]

I was completely unaware she was filming, let alone sqealing her eco rated tires. I had to keep it in the final cut. 

 

Oh yea, after the outro, I get out wearing my WAN shirt.

@terrytek

Pics or it didn't happen. They demand moar rice!

[juretrn]

If you like, Integras sell here in America for like 2 grand. And make some decent horsepower.

Unless you want to get hurt, "decent horsepower" shouldn't really be a consideration. At 18, most are overly enthusiastic about their driving and have 0 experience. VERY bad  combo, IMO.

150 HP isn't much really. And plus, you really ain't using it much if you ain't revving hard. Driving around town usually uses around 40-50 HP, 60 max.

There are other roads besides those in towns? 

And 150 HP is a lot for ~1200 kg of car.

But most starter drivers usually drive around town.

Just the phrase "Florida" explains so much. People can't drive for shit in that state.

That looks really nice

But here are some points to concider about buying a merc. (he's a bit drawn out and he does try with the comedy. But it pays to do a bit of research beforehand^^)

They are pretty long videos in a pretty big series. But kent's a great source of info when it comes to older mercs
