V8 is the only pill I've yet to take and if I end up not liking it, oh well. It's going to a life long tbird enjoyer who will get a lot more use out of it than me.

I'm personally a fan of big fat American V8's because of their stupid simplicity and ease of maintenence/ building. Since putting the engine kn my fox, I've driven it halfway across the country to a track day, beat the shit out of it, and drove it home. Or, you can go the other way and low strung cruiser V8's are equally fun like in pic related. I'm building a big slow E400 for my Edsel right now.

Kinda where I'm at with 32v cobra vs the r129. Both very different cars but both geared toward similar driving styles. It basically comes down to if I want a manual transmission or actual build quality. R129 looks like a supercar to me and has 3 top options, but rev matching a 32v is hard to beat.

I don't, it's a junkyard block lol. But it's one of the later 5.0's with the better metallurgy. If it cracks in half, hopefully the heads are untouched and I'll just build another, lol.

Banging gears is fun as hell, and that would tip the scales for me. Also the 32v has a lot more aftermarket and far cheaper parts.

Part of it is I'm just tired of nursing shitboxes back to health. I'd like to just get a complete car that I don't have to mess with or need to mod to have fun. Last few years I've been wrenching more than driving.
Yes, that is partially due to me selling cars once they get to a decent spot. However thats only cuz because when get there, I find the car doesn't satisfy me and I want to change things about that just cost too much to justify, or would take too long.

Partly why I'm thinking of old mercs. They seems to be a bit of a pleb filter but are very rewarding to own. Seeing as I've restored German, Japanese and turbo American shirboxes with no prior experience I'm not too intimidated by it.

In all timelines i would have owned a slammed japbox, turbo shitbox, etc because I wanted to experience those cars. I knew I'd eventually get bored of a v6, a straight 6, a turbo 4, but I wanted to gain experience and ability so i could own cooler cars outside my comfort zones. And yes I'll shill what I own because I think what I own is awesome even if it's flawed.
Tldr I just haven't found a car I want to keep forever yet.
even that doesnt work, my parents restored their old 66 plymouth fury a few years ago and parked at the back of a parking lot just to have some moron with a big truck park next to them and smash his door into theirs.
The lesson I learned was dont buy or have anything nice and plan to use it.
Merc literally took the 2 farthest stalls in the lot. But many urban areas are overcrowded and there might have been no other empty spots for the truck.
>But many urban areas are overcrowded and there might have been no other empty spots for the truck.
Murrika has three times as many parking spots as cars, possibly five times. If you can't find one you don't deserve a drivers license.
>he walks around trying to morally police others because he's so high iq
Yeah man I don't really give a frick, I'm going to park away from other cars anyway
ive seen morons cry about people double parking in a near empty lot
lol i did that once with this moron who was riding my ass (i was going 5 over in a semi residential st) and cut me off to just go into the same turning lane into my apt. he did it when we were like 15ft away from the lane so it made no sense
Motorcycles are cool, but shouldn't ever be compared to cars. One frick up in the canyons on a bike and you're done for. If I'm going to be on 6 lane California freeways with 100mph Altimas on donut tires - I'll take my rage cage.
Lol every fricking thread is this homosexual dick measuring contest that isn’t even related to the OP. Just make a dick measuring general for fricks sake. You’re all beyond help.
Weird how you skipped the suggestion of making a different thread where you and other mouth breathers can do such a thing. /v8g/ sounds good. Go make it
I drive a pretty upmarket car, I tend to reverse park properly nearby and stare them down when they do this. Usually it's an old person who probably isn't fit to drive, or an Armenian douche. Everyone else notices the stare and tries to avoid eye contact as they slink into the car.
This is why people can’t have nice things.
Because truggs don’t haul anything other than the drivers fat ass and injured ego.
The only utility truggs serve is as a tool for passive aggression.
As midwit white men are further disenfranchised in society, the need to passively exert “dominance” towards those around them will only increase.
The small penis trope is somewhat accurate in that large pickup trucks are a coping mechanism for not being able to keep a woman, getting fat from goyslop, being easily replaceable in the work place, etc.
This is also why trugg owners typically worship the police and other government employees, like a teachers pet, they think if they fellate authority figures it’ll by proxy imbue them with the control, respect, and authority that they have lost in their personal lives.
Women's bodies start out as Ferraris, can be curvy, fast and fun. The more tattoo's they add the faster they start looking like a Ford Pinto or a clapped out Mexican 350z. Most of these chicks are fricked in the head too, hopping from guy to guy, can't really settle down, mental illness and daddy problems go hand in hand
Parking lots in the US are so hostile and full of seething poorgays frothing in envy that I have to have one shitbox I use for every day driving and one nice car that I explicitly only use for cruising and never EVER park anywhere.
Yes, I would have reverse-parked my shitbox 2 inches away. I can't believe the plebbit simps on here are actually defending the Merc. Frick the Merc. Learn to park like a respectable contributor to society or frick off.
>both cars fitted, no damage done >merc owner almost certainly assblasted that someone had the nerve to park next to HIS car
I mean the guy intentionally took up two spots in an area he assumed nobody else would fit.
people need to learn their lesson

It really isn't. Built 331 with ported GT40 heads, longtubes, and a fat carb. Dynoed at 430, I'm right on the edge of the block needing a brace. For as light as it is, it's pretty quick. Definitely quicker than your bus.
Pretty neat little collection you've got there. And yeah, there's just something about the smooth power delivery and the noise that I really love. It really is the perfect engine setup.
Yeah. That's slow af, kiddo.
A clapped out motorcycle will dust that garbage
(You)
I'm personally a fan of big fat American V8's because of their stupid simplicity and ease of maintenence/ building. Since putting the engine kn my fox, I've driven it halfway across the country to a track day, beat the shit out of it, and drove it home. Or, you can go the other way and low strung cruiser V8's are equally fun like in pic related. I'm building a big slow E400 for my Edsel right now.
>Or, you can go the other way and low strung cruiser V8's are equally fun
Kinda where I'm at with 32v cobra vs the r129. Both very different cars but both geared toward similar driving styles. It basically comes down to if I want a manual transmission or actual build quality. R129 looks like a supercar to me and has 3 top options, but rev matching a 32v is hard to beat.
>Motorcycle squid
Opinion discarded
A 380HP V8 can run 10s flat in the 1/4 mile with the right transmission.
you must be 18 years of age to post here
I love foxbody mustangs!
how much anal clench when you do a pull
He probably has the boss 302 block, its 2022 after all
Lots. I know I need to put a brace on it. It spends more time on the track than the strip where romping on the power delivery is more gradual and I rarely do 100% pulls on the road.
I don't, it's a junkyard block lol. But it's one of the later 5.0's with the better metallurgy. If it cracks in half, hopefully the heads are untouched and I'll just build another, lol.
Banging gears is fun as hell, and that would tip the scales for me. Also the 32v has a lot more aftermarket and far cheaper parts.
I ride my bike more than I drive and my shitpile, 20 year old R1 will slap most cars on the road. But you're just moronic and bikes aren't part of the discussion right now. Post bike.
Part of it is I'm just tired of nursing shitboxes back to health. I'd like to just get a complete car that I don't have to mess with or need to mod to have fun. Last few years I've been wrenching more than driving.
Yes, that is partially due to me selling cars once they get to a decent spot. However thats only cuz because when get there, I find the car doesn't satisfy me and I want to change things about that just cost too much to justify, or would take too long.
As far as I can tell it's just one shitposter and everyone else including myself just talking off topic shit
Yeah, I totally get the feeling of wanting a complete car. Ive been doing the same lately, just nursing the shitbox fleet back to health, and it gets tiring. Just do your research then before diving into your next car. There's no worse feeling than taking a car home and realizing you don't like it. Keep us updated, you've got a cool list of shitboxes yourself.
Appreciate it anon. When I do eventually replace the bird you'll no doubt hear about it because we're both here forever
Sounds like its time to really challenge yourself mechanically, or enter some competitive scene (panthers can take peoples money on the street, people underestimate them)
>Sounds like its time to really challenge yourself mechanically
Partly why I'm thinking of old mercs. They seems to be a bit of a pleb filter but are very rewarding to own. Seeing as I've restored German, Japanese and turbo American shirboxes with no prior experience I'm not too intimidated by it.
The only thing I really haven't tried yet is competitive driving, but that might follow if my next car disappoints me
ahhh… those windsor’s do not like power adders.
I saw a relatively clean foxbody broken down on the the side if the road a few weeks ago. Not sure what the problem was either.
In contrast, I also saw a Tesla outside of a parking lot blocking a lane while also being broken down? I’m not not if those are the words or if inoperable would be better.
Very nice car anon, I prefer the goombah version myself, but T-Birds still look hella sexy.
I have a hardon for these too. One guy who lurks has one with the beans making almost 500
He really is doing it again!
Are you just going to endlessly buy cars > put heaps of work into them > sell them as soon as you finish the work?
Anon, bear with me for a second, but what if, just maybe, he enjoys doing that.
Well then he can at least be honest with himself and others about it. It's always the best car that he's going to keep forever when he buys it, then there's some cope excuse when he suddenly decides to sell it.
The cars I've owned up until now, in a lot of ways are cars I've always wanted to have/build, if you see
In all timelines i would have owned a slammed japbox, turbo shitbox, etc because I wanted to experience those cars. I knew I'd eventually get bored of a v6, a straight 6, a turbo 4, but I wanted to gain experience and ability so i could own cooler cars outside my comfort zones. And yes I'll shill what I own because I think what I own is awesome even if it's flawed.
Tldr I just haven't found a car I want to keep forever yet.
even that doesnt work, my parents restored their old 66 plymouth fury a few years ago and parked at the back of a parking lot just to have some moron with a big truck park next to them and smash his door into theirs.
The lesson I learned was dont buy or have anything nice and plan to use it.
I park next to the nicest car because nicest car is least likely to smash mine. That's my thinking anyways.
Merc literally took the 2 farthest stalls in the lot. But many urban areas are overcrowded and there might have been no other empty spots for the truck.
>But many urban areas are overcrowded and there might have been no other empty spots for the truck.
Murrika has three times as many parking spots as cars, possibly five times. If you can't find one you don't deserve a drivers license.
It’s lower IQ to accept some homosexual doing this and not putting him in his place, noodledick
>he walks around trying to morally police others because he's so high iq
Yeah man I don't really give a frick, I'm going to park away from other cars anyway
Not only will I key every car I see parking at the end of the lot for your insolence. I will break their windows. You dun goofed
Yeah you're not gonna do shit
Watch me, gay. All cagers deserve their paint job getting fricked and you’ll never catch me
man you one hot Barbie b***h. you wanna go onna date?
if i cant catch you ill just wait for you to park your bike at the gay bath house you frequent
I doubt he'll be able to lean into the turns considering how often he gets assfricked
>lean past the chicken strips
>prolapse falls out
I don’t get it. Why do trug drivers do this?
There is a whole parking lot worth of spaces so why be a complete douchebag and block in the Mercedes.
This is why trugs need to be banned. Only man children and insecure boys with small penises drive trugs.
Just pathetic and petty.
Awww. Are you sad you're not special?
t. micro wiener wh*teoid
Go home mutt
I don't get it. Why do car drivers do this?
There is a whole parking lot worth of spaces so why be a complete douchebag and block two parking spaces.
This is why luxuries need to be banned. Only soccer moms and insecure women with large bodies drive luxury vehicles.
Just pathetic and petty.
Also, you are in the wrong place homosexual.
Absolutely agreed
Uhm Sweeties. DA is a progressive board.
Chuds can adapt or move along. This is simply just how things are going to be from now on.
dude look at that rack and those tires! this a working mans truck!
that guy looks like the goober that makes weird liquor on the youtube
Imagine being a literal shit colored skin subhuman
Trugg drivers have the mentality of a 12 year old. They want everyone to recognize that their a big boy with a big trugg.
You made it my problem.
ive seen morons cry about people double parking in a near empty lot
lol i did that once with this moron who was riding my ass (i was going 5 over in a semi residential st) and cut me off to just go into the same turning lane into my apt. he did it when we were like 15ft away from the lane so it made no sense
>mention motorcycles
>soibois meltdown
Yeah
Motorcycles are cool, but shouldn't ever be compared to cars. One frick up in the canyons on a bike and you're done for. If I'm going to be on 6 lane California freeways with 100mph Altimas on donut tires - I'll take my rage cage.
ALL CAGERS MUST HANG
Lol every fricking thread is this homosexual dick measuring contest that isn’t even related to the OP. Just make a dick measuring general for fricks sake. You’re all beyond help.
>actual car conversion happening in an otherwise shit thread
>noooooo you have to stay ON TOPIC
lmao kys homosexual
Weird how you skipped the suggestion of making a different thread where you and other mouth breathers can do such a thing. /v8g/ sounds good. Go make it
They keep shitting up every thread and then will whine incessantly when we get merged with /n/ because of it
all this started cuz someone said "post your car" and anon actually did it
>You have to stick to the "rules" at all times
Maybe /r/ cars is more your speed, my guy.
sorry your garbage thread about a woman driver got ruined by talking about cars on a car board
All o know is motorcycles are faster than ur shitboxs
You can be fast and I'll keep my organs
>Nobody dies in car crash
Lol at this busrider
People do die in car accidents but bike gays die 30x more often lmao
time for another round of:
WHAT DOES HE DRIVE!
I drive a $2200 squarebody, when I see a merc or bmw do this I try to park about 5 inches from their driver door.
>I drive a $2200 squarebody
Hell, that's a 30k truck in today's moronic market
I drive a pretty upmarket car, I tend to reverse park properly nearby and stare them down when they do this. Usually it's an old person who probably isn't fit to drive, or an Armenian douche. Everyone else notices the stare and tries to avoid eye contact as they slink into the car.
This is why people can’t have nice things.
Because truggs don’t haul anything other than the drivers fat ass and injured ego.
The only utility truggs serve is as a tool for passive aggression.
As midwit white men are further disenfranchised in society, the need to passively exert “dominance” towards those around them will only increase.
The small penis trope is somewhat accurate in that large pickup trucks are a coping mechanism for not being able to keep a woman, getting fat from goyslop, being easily replaceable in the work place, etc.
This is also why trugg owners typically worship the police and other government employees, like a teachers pet, they think if they fellate authority figures it’ll by proxy imbue them with the control, respect, and authority that they have lost in their personal lives.
There is nothing better than a truck with a thin blue line sticker and a Gadsden flag sticker right above it.
MOLDY LABIA
>those frickign tattoos
for Christ sakes
HELL YEAH BROTHER!
Tattoos are like truggs
EVERYONE has them these days.
When it used to be only certain people had them.
>be sailor
>have tattoos
Feels good man
whats wrong with tattoos? image is so low res i cant even tell if his are shit but i mean generally speaking.
tattoos are ritual scarification which is masculine in nature and thus is disgusting on a woman.
HELL YEA BROTHER
HELL YEA BROTHER
Women's bodies start out as Ferraris, can be curvy, fast and fun. The more tattoo's they add the faster they start looking like a Ford Pinto or a clapped out Mexican 350z. Most of these chicks are fricked in the head too, hopping from guy to guy, can't really settle down, mental illness and daddy problems go hand in hand
Parking lots in the US are so hostile and full of seething poorgays frothing in envy that I have to have one shitbox I use for every day driving and one nice car that I explicitly only use for cruising and never EVER park anywhere.
Ok poorgay
Seething poorhomosexual detected. Go be a useless poor moron somewhere else, fricking braindead homosexual.
We're all poor here my guy. Why stress over what ppl say on DA?
would a waterballoon be able to hold aircraft paint stripper? asking for a friend
I support this. Only I would've parked even closer.
Yes, I would have reverse-parked my shitbox 2 inches away. I can't believe the plebbit simps on here are actually defending the Merc. Frick the Merc. Learn to park like a respectable contributor to society or frick off.
Imagine some illegal mexican slammed into the merc totaling it and drove off with his new war badge on his truck.
Literally not a problem. Both cars fitted, no damge done.
>both cars fitted, no damage done
>merc owner almost certainly assblasted that someone had the nerve to park next to HIS car
I mean the guy intentionally took up two spots in an area he assumed nobody else would fit.
>take an extra 3 seconds to get into your car
>leave
>truck parked on the grass by itself looking like an absolute dunce cap
lmao
They’re cool with being obnoxious morons, that’s how you own the libs after all.
people need to learn their lesson
t. just parked out front with my rear bumper resting on my neighbor's license plate. leave me enough fricking room so that my mail gets delivered
i mean this wholeheartedly
go all the way in sabotage or grow up and realize the world isnt that personal
this half ass edgy apartment complex villain vibe isnt doing it
Nah, I'm not the guy you're replying to but frick with me I'll frick with you. Last time a tow truck parked so close to be I couldn't open my driver side door and climbing through the passenger in an AWD 6 Speed with the transmission tunnel in the middle is completely moronic, so I slashed his two years, never seen that tow truck again.
>slashing truck tires
Slashing a Ford super duty isn't remotely the same as slashing a dump truck homosexualron
You did the right thing anon.
It’s the only way that they learn.
it is personal because I don't live in an apartment complex. park in front of your own fricking house or at least leave me enough room to park without blocking off my mailbox.
>two butthole drivers getting together
How wholesome
