WHY CAN'T I HAVE MONEY AND SOMEWHERE TO STORE CARS

[Protocol7]

I normally don't like cars like that but it's so clearly well maintained.

I've been told that my GTO will be here on the 30th.

My car overheated right when I got home

It was ether it over heated. Or the pressure busted something. Soon I will find out.

brb 2 or 3 hrs to find out what the major malfunction is.

Just got my fender push clips. They are about 2.20 a piece from the stealership, and I needed about 40-45 bucks to get the amount I need. I got the same amount, from amazon, for 20 bucks


I love amazon

[Protocol7]

yeah shopping online is so much better

I ordered a fender and the linings that they quoted me for on the repairs

I've already saved ~300 bucks

Buying a door shell alone saves me a good couple hundred too. $35 for a shell? Fuck yeah I'll take it.

[MightyMax]

you guys might be buying cheap but do you know what you're buying? These things could be made of inferior materials, hence their cheapness.

[DPKiller]

I was running it for 10 min sitting still without the AC on.
That is way to hot for my liking. I sense ordering parts and installing.

They seem to be OEM, if not then it's not that big of a loss for me. And plus Amazon has ratings and comments so you can go by those to see what's up

well the door is OEM and they've been trying to sell it since March so

The fender was only $100 cheaper and says it's OEM in the description

Perhaps it means "OEM-Style"?

Welcome to the overheating club broski, here's a beer and grab a seat.

Speaking of which, after I drank a bottle of beer tonight to celebrate a new job, I got news that my patient has passed away. Now I'm unemployed again. Oh well, at the least I have some money to fix up my car for school.

I've been thinking about something, what tires do Americans use during winter/in snowy conditions? Do you use the spiked tires we use in Sweden?

[EvilSkydiver]

I live in Texas and the only thing we use here it seams is just regular low pro all terrain tires.

Northern states might use a more aggressive AT tire bit would not know.


Also looking at getting a new wagon. Might go Mopar. Dodge magnum

Nope we use regular allseason tires for the most part. Some of the more adventrous of us will get snow tires but they arent all that nubby.

Also, fyi I mean these:


not these:


Those are only used for ice racing (apparently they're pretty safe since the just go right through your foot, and doesn't wreak havoc on the way )

yes it does, the gauge of the metal can vary alot with cheap parts thicker the better. also cheap parts usually need massaging to fit right. most if not all oem parts will fit perfect.

i'm not saying a shitty fender can replace OEM, but a shitty fender doesn't have as much of an effect on the vehicle as a shitty water pump does

Dodge magnum RT. hnnnnnng

Any na sayers? The first things I would do is a Mopar CAI or K&N.
Maby second would be getting it chipped.

350hp RWD wagon sounds really fun.

[Protocol7]

I like Magnums, I don't see why not

[Ldesu]

A Magnum with a Charger front end is the sexiest wagon in history:

[Officer brown]

This is actually kinda neat



Mazda and Hyundai product placement.
