Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Why not get a brand new car? I don't see anything wrong with it, and don't see it as a dick measuring contest.

You are going and getting the latest technology the car companies have to offer. Most people aren't going to go into an Apple store with all the iPod touches on display, and ask for the original iPod without the click wheel with the 4 buttons on it. I also for one would be happy knowing no one else owned the car, no one had the choice to not treat it nicely, to beat the hell out of it, to do stupid stuff that would decrease the life of the engine/car/components.

But, this is all everyone else's opinions.

I can go to the car store and get a older car that still has a steering wheel and foot pedals. i hear new cars have those things too.

Here ya go. Not a quad cab or a stick shift but you can't try to tell me you can't park it in the city

Ummm... Yeah, about that. My buddy works at a Toyota dealer and 80% of the tech there kick the shit out of the brand new cars. BUT, it's once or twice, not the first 90k miles.

Really, I hadn't noticed.

I'm not against buying a used car, if I see the right one. But I'm definitely not opposed to a brand new one. I want something that is really nice, paint that has zero defects in it, etc, and most of the time, I can only find it in a brand new car.

Hell, I definitely didn't do nice things to the WRX yesterday on the test drive, but like you said if its going to happen at all, I'd rather it be once or twice, not for the first 90K.

Hey smart guys, my uncle's XJ just decided to not start. The battery has been jink lately but even while getting jumped it just cranked and cranked. Thinking its the crank or cam pos sensor, any tell tale tests other than buy, swap, and hope?

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

You truck guys would love my roommate. We were talking cars (which he knows nothing about), and he just made the comment "Where are you going to find a diesel truck? Most trucks aren't diesels, what are you talking about."

I'm now going out to put brake fluid in his car for him since he doesn't know how....

Test and see if it has spark. If it doesn't, 90% chance its the CPS. (Not CPK you tards who say that)

put your finger in the end of a spark plug wire and make sure your penis is touching the fender. have him crank the motor over.

if your penis gets electrocuted it isnt a spark issue

have him give it a little gas when cranking.

sometimes when the batt voltage gets low enough on mopars the computer needs to re-learn the throttle position (or some shit like that i dont remember how to explain it)

It's too short, wont make contact with the finder. Maybe I can straddle something metal

That's how mine behaved when my CPS shit the bed.

If I buy a non-XJ Jeep it's going to be a full size cherokee or a J-truck... but I would have to find something that's nearly rust free if I were to get something that old.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

mark, id be careful around any used wrx. the 5spds are fairly delicate trannys (02-07), and i'd say a solid 75% of the people who buy them, arent good to them. at 100k you'll need a timing belt service (waterpump, pulleys, etc) and if the car wasnt taken care of, headgaskets. not to mention anything on the tranny that could be on it's way out. the new imprezas aren't a good choice imho.. the CVTs are slushier than a snow cone, and the new motors are less powerful than the ones in the previous gen. my friend's mom has a base 2010 impreza auto and its pretty slow. if you can swing an off-lease, low miles 08+ wrx i'd say go for it. you'll prob get one with some warranty miles still left on it, and those drivetrains are a lot beefier than the past gen wrxs. dont expect anywhere north of 27ish mpg, but besides that they are pretty economical if you stay out of boost, and very reliable if you take care of em.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I use my truck to tow my MJ, and pick up/move parts and random things around (buying large items, engine hoists, stands, engines, axles, etc.). Everyone else in this thread would be fine with a half ton, we all bought 3/4 tons because we WANTED to. I'm no exception. I could have bought a 1/2 ton 03+ Dodge and been 100% fine, but I also don't see the big deal about slowing down on hills (to a point).

Mark, just buy a car if that's what you want. I would have absolutely no problem DDing a car. Using the excuse that you like to "sit high" in the vehicle or whatever is just dick measuring, there's no reason for it. Bill, wouldn't you DD a GTO if it wasn't going to rust away in the winter? Don't even TRY to tell me you wouldn't.
