mafoose posted:There was some claims of plastidip ruining clear coat. I don't follow it enough to know if it is consistent happening. The main guy claiming PD was ruining his clearcoat has locked all the comments on his Youtube videos. The theory is he was using rattlecan clear, dipping it and then peeling it off to make it look like the Dip was responsible. The dude from Dip Your Car has dipped his own car like 40 times now and his clear is still intact.

Sidesaddle Cavalry posted:Speaking of winters and steelies, what are good recommendations for those? I imagine they would still be useful for my not-a-hatchback and I figured this thread would have people with vehicles with smaller wheels so Michelin X Ice or Blizzaks. I have Blizzaks on my car for winter and they're amazing.

I swung into the local Honda dealer yesterday to pick up some washers and chatted with a salesman about Fits and he was totally upfront and didn't BS me at all. Both my mother and sister have bought cars there with no issues at all. Meanwhile someone I consider a friend that works at a Toyota dealer is being pushy as hell and kind of shady trying to get us to buy a car there.

In sad hatch news, my father is putting his Golf TDI up for sale as the seating has become uncomfortable for him in his advancing age. It's a 2000 TDI GLS 5 speed manual with 309,000 miles, built in Germany, every receipt, a mpg/fuel log of every fillup, new tires, new timing change, tons of new bits, belts and hoses etc. I know for a fact that 75% of the mileage is highway. We're gonna shoot for $5000. I know it's high but I think we'll clear it just because of the regional hipster love of both VW and diesel.

leica posted:I'd consider that If I wanted a dedicated rally car, but it would be my DD also and I really don't want an Impreza for my DD. I'm pretty sure you advised me to get into the fun car I wanted before it was too late or I'd regret it. ZX3's are restupidly cheap, you'd be silly not to get one. I mean, so cheap that you wouldn't have to get rid of anything. Remember how you found all the cheap Miata's in Florida for me? Well all the cheap ZX3s are in the midwest. There's a half dozen under $2500 in town at any given time. http://limaohio.craigslist.org/cto/4806314788.html http://limaohio.craigslist.org/cto/4795344776.html Both of these have been relisted several times. I'd be shocked if they wouldn't let either one go for $2000.

My father is going to drive me crazy. He has the Golf detailed (not super thoroughly, just a a quick clean up) and polished up. We haven't even taken the pictures of the car and but he tells some guys in his investment club he's going to finally part with the car and floated the $5K asking price. He got an offer for $4500 last night. He didn't accept it yet and is now feeling like he wants to keep the car instead.

leica posted:If I get one it's going to be nice with low miles '04 or newer. I know the earlier ones had issues but they got a lot better later on. I never really cared for the front end refresh they did in '04. If you're going to sell the Miata you may as well go all in and get an SVT Focus. I'm pondering hopping out of mine because of the $200+ a month I don't need to be spending on it

Voltage posted:I'm pretty sure if you don't accept $4,500 for a 15 year old economy car with 300,000 miles, you really, really don't need that money (and could probably easily afford a new one). Dad can afford pretty much whatever he wants. He's just sentimental in his old age. He test drove a CTS-V and loved that but the seating isn't much better for his back.

I still want it too but I'm just letdown by the styling (or lack of). It does kind of make me want wait it out and see if Mazda is bringing anything to the table next year like the much rumored new Speed models.

Drove a Focus ST yesterday morning at an awesome enthusiast brunch. I really, really liked it. Really wondering if it would be worth stepping out of the MS6 for a FoST in the near future.

If they do FWD it'll still be a really tough competitor to the FoST - the Mazda 3's interior is so drat nice. Is that even happening?
