God damn car. I think the dealer fucked me.

You know WHY you got that advice? Because it was GOOD advice coming from many many many people who have been where you're at.

Nobody said "get an unreliable car" they said get a cheap car. Because then at least you know you're getting screwed. Instead of finding out AFTER the fact.

But what do we know from anything? You know better than us right? I mean anytime you ask for advice you ignore us and do it YOUR way anyway.

Credit history? You build credit history buy buying a $1,000 car with a $500 loan and paying it off on time. You build credit history by getting an appartment and paying your car insurance. Credit history is not build on how large your loan is. It's built on how well you pay your debts. Paying of a $500 loan will kick your credit history into gear just as well as a $5,000 loan.
 
Damn right I'm telling you what is broke on my car, because I trust a mechanic way more than a random guy on The Internet.

They never fixed it either, they openly said "We tried this, if you aren't satisfied with the result we'll replace the whole throttle body."

And my trans did run smoother. If there is one thing I never experience, it's the psychological effects of getting shit done. I had no clue what to expect until I drove the fucker.

As to that gunk helping it shift smoother? Yes, I've always heard that metal bits and dirt and shit make a FAR better lubricant than liquid.

I'm not proving you right at all. Some dipshit in a Civic tried to drag race me in a car so full of body mods it looked like Optimus Fucking Prime.

I knew I could obliterate his ass. But I didn't do shit because it's stupid and illegal and I fucking hate people who race on public roads almost as much as child molesters.

Maybe as a kid you decided to screw around with your first car, but that ain't how I drive, chode. Broseph, I never go five over the limit. I follow the road rules to the fucking letter.

Driving is about getting from point A to point B brotato. It ain't about saying "Ohhhh! Look at what I can do!"

And if you want to take risks that'll save 30 seconds off your transit time, good, go ahead. I got side impact airbags for people like you.

Oh, and as for the "Wind rushing" on the drivers side? Happens on both sides. Why?

It only does that on windy days. On both sides. Even in the back seat. Pretty fucking normal, that was my bad.



Well, that's how I interpreted it.


I'm not saying that. You have twice the experience I do, you're nearly twice my age.

I did NOT want to purchase two cars. I wanted one car that could last me 3-5 years, not a POS 1 year beater and a 3-5 year used car.

Sorry but I do not feel that making a temporary purchase is viable. I'd rather get it done with all at once.
 
1. Some mechanics are honest, good guys, but to trust a mechanic that has a vested interest in screwing you for money over a guy giving you advice for free is STUPID.

2. The longer and smoother the shift in a transmission, the more wear the clutch packs get. It's better for the clutches in teh transmission to shift harder and faster. If it's shifting softer and slower, I'd get ready for ar ebuild because that means the clutchpacks aren't engaging as quickly or as well as they should. I havent ridden in your car, so I dont know. Your definition of smooth may not qualify as what im talking about. But be aware that a transmission shift that is gentler than the rays of sunshine hitting antarctica isn't a good thing.

3. You will not obliterate a dude in a Civic just because you drive a "luxury" car. His car is probably much lighter than yours. Get over it.

4. YOU ARE AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER. YOU ARE ALSO HUMAN. YOU WILL WILL MAKE MISTAKES FROM TIME TO TIME. WE ARE TRYING TO SAVE YOU MONEY, FRUSTRATION, AND HEARTACHE BY TRYING TO GET YOU TO DO THAT TO A CHEAP CAR INSTEAD OF A NICE ONE. WE SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE. You can be an ungrateful defiant bitch about it all you want but you already had a thread about lovetapping some other car and now you're bitching about your fucking expensive car being broke already. A cheap car isn't necessarily unreliable, and a more expensive car isn't necessarily reliable. You've just proven this to yourself in this hread.

5. I cant believe you were that concerned about fucking wind noise to begin with.

6. Cars by definition are DEPRECIATING ASSETS. Of course they're temporary. You lose a lot more money driving a $6,000 car into the ground than a $1000 car.
 
I'd have to start a new thread to answer that. You see, what's going on here is like one of those Three's Company episodes where comedy ensued due to some slight timing mis-calculations.
 
You'd trust a mechanic at a dealer that straight up lied to you? I mean shit, they said it was a Hyundai certified car didn't they?

And it's not like LeeHype doesn't know his shit. He's proven it time and time again.



Of course that's what you're saying. That's what you're saying every time you ask for advice and then ignore the plethora of advice you get just because you don't like it.



Let me explain this to you: You are going to buy two cars. That's how cars work.

All anyone ever told you was to buy a car you could LEARN in. So that when you back out of a drive way and hit someone it won't matter. So that when you get smacked in a parking lot it won't matter. So that when you hit a patch of ice and thwack a guard rail IT WON'T MATTER.

You can drive as safe as you want and stick to 5 miles an hour... you'll learn that when you're going 60 in a 55 and everyone else is going 80, YOU are more likely to be involved in an accident. That patch of ice? Until you've hit it you just simply won't know how to react. You can drive as safe as you want... you're a new driver and you lack the skill or experience to handle the truly weird shit that drivers will have to face.

First cars should pretty much be disposable. They'll run ok. Hell, they might even LOOK OK. But as a new driver you don't even know your own driving style. Maybe you should have a truck. Maybe a coupe. Or a 4 door. Until you've driven for a while you won't know.

So you buy a cheap ass car that'll get you from point A to point B. You drive it for a year or until you wreck it, which ever comes first. Then you buy a nicer car that suits you.

In the short run I know it seems silly. In the long run it'll make a LOT of sense, save you a LOT of stress and save you a LOT of cash.

But hey, what do we know? Collectively we've only every bout what? 10 first cars? All those HUGE egos saying "Dude, this is how I fucked up my first car" should have told you something. 10 giant egos and all of them are saying "seriously, buy a cheapo first beater car" I mean shit, do we need to buy a 64 box of Crayolas here to help you out? Cuz damnit if that's what it takes I'll go to Target right now and do that.



Cars are temporary. Deal with it.
 
fail

This random guy has been working on cars since he was 8 years old helping his dad fix cars in the drive way. I don't charge people to fix there cars, I enjoy repairing cars. That dude you are trusting has only 2 things on his mind, making money and getting your car out of his shop. The last time I took my jeep to the shop it took 2 weeks to get it fixed. I came out ahead, because they (the shop) can't charge you for work that doesn't fix the problem, unless you accept it.




And why did you accept that? Your only sounding making your self sound retarded by admitting that you took your car to a shop, and let them just tell you what was wrong and not have them fix it. If you would have had them replace it, and then when it doesn't fix anything, you'll find out the real problem. Now, you'll prolly have your boyfriend replace it, and it won't change anything, then you'll take it to the dealer, and they will say something like "he installed it upside down" or something. Trust me, it has happened.



An auto trans uses pressure to make the shifts. Now when you increase the pressure and fluid flow in your trans...

No, I'll let you think your right. I'll just give you the base info on how things are suppost to work. If your going to argue with me and everyone else about something you know nothing about, you deserve what going to happen to you.



So.

Don't lie to me. EVERYONE pushes there speedo as far as it will go at least once. You don't have to race to be a moron. In fact, being stubborn and un flexable in your driving will get you killed faster than speeding.




You'll do it. We all do it. It takes about 8 months for people to start fucking around with speed and dummb shit. Whats funny is everyone justifies it.

Don't worry decent, the neet thing about admitting to ddoing that stupid shit is everyone is going to have there own stories.



Let me know how that works out for ya.



Umm, first of all, My front bumper has more steel in it than your wwhole fucking car does. If I Tbone you, I won't feeel it, and you'll just be dead. You have come into every car thread talking about how unsafe some cars are...

Get out of your house sometimes. Jesus christ. Is your idea of a night out trying to get crysis to run on a intell 2 with a 64 bit vid card?

Where do you think most of our stories come from. The way your going, you'll be 40 living in your moms basement.
