Too good for the CL thread. This asshat wants 2500 for it. wow such drift. very subaru. omg much jdm   quote:I must warn you. If you don't like that feeling of pure terror as you're sliding sideways into something dangerous, leave now. I'm selling my 2000 Subaru Outback Drift Tank to the first lucky owner to hand me a reasonable amount of cash. This car is so JDM it's disgusting, despite the fact that it was manufactured in the glorious state of Indiana. It has something like 230,000 miles if I remember right. It was treated well for the first 220,000 miles or so, and has been beaten relentlessly since. BUT. It drifts really well. 90% of people hate it, but the other 10% love it. And of that 10%, .05% are girls. So really, this thing will drop like at least a panty or two during your ownership. Not a bad price if you're into that sort of thing.

I heard this story {please feel free to find it for me or prove me wrong) but where people in New York or something were boosting Ferraris, stripping them out and dumping the frame out somewhere. Frame would be recovered and auctioned off as the insurance already covered the loss. And surprise surprise guess who wins the auction for the remaining frame and what have yous.... The guy who just acquired a legally registered Ferrari for pennies.

The Door Frame posted:Call me paranoid, but this is all I can think of when I read the words, "salvage title" Thats nothing. This was famously a story where some guy buys an audi, and after realizing one of the speakers didn't work he took the door panel off to investigate. Upon doing so, he discovered photos and a letter. It said, "Thanks for buying my car, here is some work I did to it...." It was basically a car he built completely from parts in a junk yard. And painted with the color produced by the jug where they dumped excess paints. From this:  To This:  More pics and story here http://englishrussia.com/2009/03/16/car-with-surprise/1/

I dont get why people are upset with chinese copying others. They dont have time to design cars as so many millions of people need them immediately. Anyone whos anyone in China is in one of the many high end European cars exclusively sold in China. That some dude in a rural village is driving around in a faux Range Rover (Evogue of all) doesn't bother me in the least bit. People like this guy know whats fake and whats not. http://bigstory.ap.org/article/tycoon-buys-30-rolls-royce-cars-macau-hotel

Well interesting enthusiasts who first and foremost throw out what I have to say is a great and very comfortable suspension for lot scrapping garbage with CAMBER STANCE YO!. Its about as bad as you would imagine. On my specific car, I keep it completley stock and baby it around praying that the transmission will not blow up as promised by the internet. 117k so far!

1500quidporsche posted:My dad bought a Type S or whatever the performance trim was for $2,000 from a college student and asked me what I thought about it. Despite him never taking my advice I say that those transmissions have a habit of grenading and given the previous owner its probably been bagged on. Yea the 99-01 models had a factory recall cause something about the 3rd gear burning up. Only about half of those" fixed" at the dealer worked without braking again. Mines on 03 when they supposedly had the problem sorted however some examples still had the issues. I maintain Honda v6 autos of that period and especially back in the Acura legend\vigor days are all garbage.

Late to driving shitboxes fast party but, the most terrifying experience was test driving a car for a man who decided to come in for an alignment after doing some suspension work to his Cadillac at home. IE poorly fitting struts and shocks he had found in a junk yard and forgetting to put stabilizer links back on. He had the trust angle so weird and his caster was so off that the mighty Brougham sedan actually felt like a boat as it bobbled down the freeway. At 60 i was sawing at the wheel to keep her sort of in my lane as she would randomly careen and lurch out of control like we were taking on waves. You had to be constantly balancing her massive weight as she would tip side to side and diagonally all at the same time. After taking her to the next exit and back, I swear to you I felt like you do after getting off a boat youve been on all day. LIke your bobbing along in the waves. The customer stated "Yea goin bout a hundred, I could barley control it!"
