his was a sedan too. And yeah every CVT car I've ever driven has dissapointed me; it'd take a lot to impress me with one at this point.

Feels weird doing a fat burnout in one. Normally when you shift you gain traction. Nah, straight up peeling to 60mph is my record so far. Better than my Mazda in that regard.

Its really weird feeling. Really hard to describe.

 

I will agree that most CVTs are garbage. My car is pretty good though. I had been debating on a Si because they gave them LED headlights and sensing in 2020 but then kung flu happened. Really impressed with 10th gens handling. Much better than the Mazda and that was a good FWD handling car.

So I used to have some BFGoodfornothings on the Celica and could routinely spin tires at 40mph in the rain hitting lift at full throttle, it IS a weird feeling breaking traction when you're already moving.

So what did you end up using?

Nothing special, a local stores 3 step polish, first paint wash that I applied by hand and then polish and finally wax.

 

 I'm happy with the results.

And I am no longer bike less! Meet my new Xv535:

 

 

Got it for €950, by far the cheapest for sale but that's because it has this:

 

Should be easy enough to fix, also needs a new oil and filter and I'm going to swap the drive shaft oil too. Some polish on the small amount of spotty surface rust, a wash and new tires and it's going to be pretty good for a Viagra

I'm probably beating a dead horse but give the M7 a whirl.

what am I doing with my life

 

[MadyTehWolfie]

Debating if I want to upgrade to a gen 4 Whipple on my mustang would need to find a buyer for the gen 2 first though. If someone has 3k laying around for the blower only that would be interesting. Looks like I'll have to search my Instagram and mustang forum peeps see what I can shake loose.

I think my Saturn's not far from giving up the ghost. Shocker.

Now I'm looking into 98-05 Lexus GSes, hopefully a 400/430 but probably a 300. Thankfully, I live in the South, where about 74% of those now currently live.

Before and after on the indicators, now also blinking at a bit of a more reasonable rate. Probably need to change the resistors but at least now they are in parallel instead of in series and also tucked away neatly

think of getting a new pair of mechanix gloves

[sub68]

My old pair

[Oskar94a]

Finally I'm done very happy with the results. 

 

 

I also picked up some secondhand alloys for about 40usd with new tiers and I think it look so good now, I really like the 3 spoke wheels.

 

 

 

[Oskar94a]

I also took the 1911 model-T for a spin, and its truly amazing to drive, any model-T is amazing to drive but this one runs so smooth.

Are 2014 Chevy impala has battery issues and we are going to get a replacement battery

-Saab 900 pics-

Not gonna lie, my head was kinda ringing with hipster thoughts with that Saab until I realized that you lived in Sweden. 

Not in bad shape, though, I dig it.

This.... is my life rn..... idk whos cheerios i pissed in to get this kinda week or if its just 2020 finding its way to completely fuck every single person alive this year

 

started off spending 750 to have entire front end redone, tie rods, end links, ball joints wheel bearings and other things done as well as oil change, then the day i got it back my dad has 2 heart attacks in a day and spent 3 days in icu, i had to spend around 400 in hotels just to be near his hospital while missing work, then he gets out. i come home find out oh the guy lost 2 of my wheel caps which are around 30 bucks each, and my brand new door pins. then get in it to go to work and get literately half a mile down the road before this.

 

.... like i dropped it off at the shop, get work and oil change, drive car straight from shop to home, parked, got in other car and drove to NC where my dad was at in the hospital, come home almost a week later, get ready for work next morning, get in car and drive less then half a mile. beginning to think foul play cause this shit is insane... i have like 2 miles on the car total getting it back from the shop.

Are old saabs used by hipsters where you live?  Here it's not, there are lots and lots of saab enthusiasts for all saab cars, I myself have the following,  1962 saab 96 twostroke, 1992 900i, 2000 9-3 SE and a 2006 9-5 Biopower.

Excellent work. The Saab looks brand new. The wheels looks good on it, yeah.

 

 

2002 E39 520i with angel eyes, needs a little work. A little bit of rust here and there, replace spark plugs, oil change, replace badges and fix the left suspension. Some noise coming from there, sounds like a busted bushing.

Yeah, old Saabs in the US are predominately driven by hipsters that think they’re too quirky for a Volvo. 

I don’t mind them, but I always thought that the 03-08 Saab 9-3 was a really sharp looking car, same with that 9-5.

The video doesn't play, it just skips a bunch of frames (for me). Something is smoking?
