If you don't daily your shitbox you're a coward, and yes I did want all my coolant to be underneath my car rather than in it, thanks. I think I'm up to like £4k in parts alone for maintenance this year, why the gently caress have I not bought a daily.

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:Not just gettign older (Even as old as it is, my Forester can rip almost any "supercar" a new one these days) but vehicles in the last 5 years are just getting worse where the number of actual good cars is fuckall in a sea of complete poo poo dual cab crap and lovely CUV's/SUV's. We got the last year of the Avalon, it's a hybrid and gets amazing mileage for what it is. It's a good car and I like it. However it's my wife's daily, she commutes over 60 miles a day in traffic, and she's decided she hates it

1964- 60 1972 - 48 2015 - 9 2024 - 0 Wild that still gets me over 29 years. I'm not going to include my work car or a car that's on the chopping block. Because I'm vain.

I made it through most of this summer with no AC, but only because I broke the line fitting the front mount then had to wait for decidedly non overnight parts from Japan AND get one of the FMIC end tanks modified to make clearance. Still, beats the 3 times I've ripped the exhaust open this year.

Ok if average fleet age is the measure and I’m sitting here at: 1970, 1993, 2005, 2008, 2014, 2022, that I can atone for the new ones by just accumulating old ones? I’ve got the space, brb buying a shitbox 1983 GTI to relive my childhood

Not nearly as AI as I used to be and the daily drivers skewing things. Fleet average of 26.5. I'll try to make it up by using the 7 as my daily once the new top arrives, now that it's cool enough to enjoy it. 2019 - 4 2006 - 17 1997 - 26 1988 - 35 1988 - 35 1981 - 42 Hadlock posted:Rumor has it that is a 2JZ intake with multiple $300 eBay special AMR500 superchargers

Hadlock posted:Rumor has it that is a 2JZ intake with multiple $300 eBay special AMR500 superchargers Some quick math says that this would be in spec for the redline of the AMR (and the 2JZ). A problem that comes to mind is the firing order, assuming that each AMR is feeding a pair of cylinders. If it's a single manifold, good to go. edit: found the thread, from 2009. https://www.lextreme.com/forums/threads/the-2jz-gzte-project.11453/

86' cadillac and 05' camry puts me right at 27.5 years. I felt the old when i realized my camry is old enough to vote. Do you count your work vehicle if you use it every day, store it at home and do all the service on it yourself? If so that knocks me down to 19.

She doesn’t hate the car - she hates the commute, and the car is the physical manifestation of the commute. She will eventually hate any car she uses. I have a ‘70, ‘87, ‘03, and ‘05. Non running I also have ‘79, ‘83, and two ‘84s. Yes, all of the non-running cars are RX-7s. Oh, and the 1980 Suzuki bike. Should run with a carb clean and fresh gas - just been sitting a decade or so.

Nah, she had an LS460 before that and she loved it, problem was it started needing (expensive) repairs and used way too much premium gas. Her main problem is the seats, and going from a Lexus dealership to Toyota for issues and maintenance was a huge step down in customer service quality. They lied to her about loaner cars and she's still highly pissed about it.
