Soviet cars are all absolutely horrid shit, never ever ever buy anything even remotely related to them and if you happen to have any soviet cars laying around, I can take them off your hands for cheap so they won't bother you anymore.

nice, I've never seen the two models on the right before

>>28603140 (OP)
Bolton?

>>28603163
The GAZ looks like AI tried to generate a 65 Ford Falcon

>>28603195
The red one is a Škoda Typ742 120GLS
It's a rear engine pushrod 4 banger shitbox from the late 70s till early 90s. Think VW bug, but watercooled inline 4 instead of an air-cooled boxer.
Famous for overheating very easily due to the cooling system having the radiator up front and the waterpump not really moving coolant under 2k rpm.

That being said it's a pretty neat car and as my daily driver it's been manageable after some modifications.
I personally love it.

>>28603213
>65 Ford Falcon
Good taste, boganbro

>>28603213
Grok, make a Ford Falcon, but better.
The stylings are very typical 60s in my opinion and they originally wanted to export it to the US, but that plan failed.
There were some pictures online floating about of the original sketches and prototype designs that were more akin to a Chrysler 300 with big fins and everything.
I'm not sure how much of the GAZ-24 really is a copy as a lot of shit got carried over from the older GAZ-21.

There was supposed to be a 3 litre V6 model specifically for export with US customers in mind, maybe even the 5.5 litre V8 going for export, but again the US export thing never materialised.

Personally I really like the car, it's a very solid machine, it's built surprisingly sturdy and it looks good.
Shame that aside for the super rare 5.5 litre V8 model and some swapped ones done by Scaldia, they only came with a 2.4 litre 4 banger either pushing out about 90hp or 70 in the low compression version.
It's dogshit slow even if the engine has a very nice torque curve and a surprising amount of low end torque.

Hows Si compared to the Mustang? Contemplating selling my 2016 base GT for a new Si…

Most of the fun roads near me are very tight, can’t really use 400hp on them

>>28603140 (OP)
Based fucking choices.

>>28603140 (OP)
I also have a couple more shitboxes stashed back at my garage
>>28603162
Love the cheif
>>28603493
Merci twingo

>>28603507
I did not

>>28603771
Well I mean you know they’re two vastly different cars. The Civic is a fine daily driver, it has enough power for me to be more comfortable passing people (compared to the 97 Civic it’s a rocket) and the fuel mileage is pretty good so far. I bought it this past Saturday so I’ve only put 400 miles on it though and most of that is highway. The rev hang is annoying, and the clutch is basically numb, but you get used to it. It feels like it handles very well, and definitely feels lighter than the S550. I could see it being more fun and less of a handful on tight and slow back roads. Definitely a much more practical car too. I don’t know if I would get rid of my Mustang for it but that’s me.

>Love the chief
Thank you, that car is a total restoration my grandfather did himself ~20 years ago and I’ve just inherited it. It’s such a cool car to slow cruise. It’s huge and comfortable. A true land barge

>>28603505
>no air scopes in quarter panels
It's a base model

Golfbros, I summon thee

>>28604098
I just inherited my grandfather's Cadillac myself and I gotta say I'm in love. Now I understand why he loved this thing. Smooth ride. Nice Star Chief btw

She's been great thanks, no problems at all and I've gotten used to driving such a car.

I want it bro.

>>28603771
Not him, but Si / CTR owner who drove the Mustang - not even remotely comparable. The Mach 1 pulls on the CTR and the Si has revhang.

Not sure how you could cross-shop the two. The Mustang also absolutely eats gas at a ridiculous rate and you get typical sports car issues like eating consumables (pads/tires) and needing separate A/S vs summer tires. With the Si, it's just a regular car (one that's barely faster than a 2008 Si and feels worse).

I am actually pro-Si, but you can't compare them.

'22 340ix
kinda want to change the wheels to a different oem style

>>28606116
I'm very much with you on that. Who the fuck greenlit paddle wheel spokes that protrude from flush wheel fitment?

>>28606136
style is 792m. i'm not sure, maybe it's just that they look worse with these tires too. i need to replace these shitty pirelli cinturato p7s with michelin pilot sport 4s. too bad i live in the northeast US and can't run summer tires year round

>>28603166
Cool

>>28606116

one of the few decent looking modern BMW wheels. Everything on their brand new models looks like absolute ass

>>28606232
Get a new set of wheels and tires, then throw some winter tires on the wheels you already have.

>>28605007
very cool
surely it must be the only mustang in iceland

>>28603162
>57 Pontiac Star Chief
holy shit how old are you

>>28606992
I’m 34. As I said earlier in the thread it was given to me.

>>28605007
is that a GT
>>28606316
nice
>>28603167
unironically probably the best car on /o/ right now

>>28603255
holy shit...

im gonna post my gay little volvo again

I will never stop repairing her. She will see 400,000 miles whether she likes it or not.

can't believe this asshole parked his shitbox right next to my godmachine

>>28607116
Is that a JO crystal hanging from the mirror?

>>28607150
had an artist cover one of my kidney stones in gold leaf and encase it in resin

>>28606997
So fucking faggy

>>28607160
It would've been less embarrassing to just say it was a JO crystal honestly

>>28607172
similar purpose though, proudly displaying the creations of my body

>>28607162
post car or kill yourself freak

>>28606562

Thank you

>surely it must be the only mustang in iceland

Not at all, they are surprisingly common, I'll see 2 or 3 per week in traffic on average.

>>28606997
>is that a GT?
Yes it is

Same garbage I always post.
Finally got around to realising the PCV was fucked and the source of my rear main leak, not the rear seal itself.

>>28607160

I'll post a picture after I go somewhere cool worth posting a picture of

I also have a Lx570 and a 230SL pagoda

Why the white walls though, isn't that uhhhh standard?

>>28609561
They don't have garages so they think people paint them in other colors.

My 1998 Fiat Seicento S. Nothing impressive, but I did some light adjustments on it, mostly cosmetic.
Pic related was taken by a pro photographer I met at a car meet.

Nah, it's a mix of a 1.4 16V off a Stilo and a lots of bits from Punto and Bravo. There was a bit of fabrication involved. About 105hp currently.

It's sitting on the garage as I'm converting to rear disc brakes at the moment.

>>28609618
Mine's aluminium 0.9 engine got blown recently so it's sitting around while I save up for something to swap it with. It's not gonna be read legal because cuck european laws, but it's nothing bribery can't fix.

>>28609626
Same here bro, same here.

>>28609618
>105hp in a tin can
Sounds entertaining. I'd love to have either a 1.2 turbo or a 1.6 16V in my Twingo.

Loved it at first, but the steering feel is too artificial on these CU2s and the acceleration is just ok with the 4 cyl/automatic combo.

Great to see some small fiats representing! Mine is the panda 100hp in the OP, the FIRE1.4 is such a good motor

fwd shitboxes kick ass and I will never pretend otherwise

>>28609617
How was the 450SEL 6.9? I want one but I heard they’re a massive pain in the ass to keep on the road. Should I stick with the diesels?

It's an awesome car. I drove a very nice one, which is why I bought a project one. They handle great, acceleration is awesome, and the hydraulic suspension is kick-ass.

That said, MPG sucks, K-Jet is garbage, and they're maintenance nightmares. The one I have will be a parts car for a nicer one that I buy where some suckered has dumped $30k into it in maintenance and is selling for $20k.

>>28610631
>the daily
damn, very nice. how often do randoms talk to you or comment about it?

>>28610766
Ty anon. Pretty often desu. I had a yas marina blue f80 m3. That car got tons of attention, but nobody really approached me because bmw drivers are fucking dick heads.

Got rid of that for a manual ct4v blackwing. The only attention I got in that car was from nerdy gear heads. With the c7 z06, nearly every time I getting gas kid will come up and say “bad ass”, of the more common boomers who come up and talk to me about how they have a c4 or c5.

Minus the attention, the car is amazing. It’s an Absolute beast. And best of all…. The reason I got rid of my ct4 blackwing after only a year….. that fucking Chevy v8 sound with corvette header/piping design.

God I love that gauge cluster

>>28610910
Is that a VFD clock?

>>28610910
what cup tach is that

>>28610935
I love it so much, I have a modern car which has boring white LED lighting and I have another old car that has boring white incandescent lighting, I wish more vehicles had colorful button/cluster lighting :(
>>28610943
Yes! It also records the date which it briefly shows on engine start, and it can act as a timer too, for all of the autocrossing I haven't been able to make it to this summer.
>>28611037
an "SW Stage III", whatever that is, I got it for $10 off some old guy on Facebook and to this day the wire is tied in a knot around the coil plug because that was the only way I could get it to actually take a reading, lol
