I can't seem to find the thread where we post recent purchases and then collectively laugh at our shitty judgement.
Just bought a '97 Grand Prix GTP because I got a good deal on the price and the only other thing I could afford was a mechanic's special.
I give it 8 months before no single electrical component inside the car works any longer.
How about you, /o/? What black holes of money have you recently saddled yourselves with?

Well for starters the design.
And at least the BMW doesn't pretend it's a "mini" when being a godawful looking small SUV.

I bought a low mileage t-bird one owner old ppl garaged and rustoleum drilled and proofed. Was the best thing ever since the feds took my car and money.
Then I drove it down a snowy bank while rip roaring drunk on vodka. It went downhill from there.

tbh it makes some sense because everything is computerized nowadays, but I don't see the benefit in removing it.
It's not like it's a cheap car that could benefit from saving 10 bucks on a stick + it's tubing. And if the user puts dirt or bad oil then it's user error and fuck them.
Same thing annoyed me with my mom's W202, no dipstick for the AT. It's supposed to be sealed for life and shit, but when I suspected a tranny leak I would have quite liked a dipstick.

Well it happened to be that I didn't trust the ppl I lived with so yeah another bad decision. But I was fucked up on opiates and making bad decisions. I own up to it though and have rectified my life.
I don't have any regrets either. I was banging an amazingly hot girl, making shitloads of cash and partying day and night. Now I have to be a grown up. 300C on it's way in the next few months so I can get rid of the cockblocking tbird.

Perhaps change the kidney grills to gloss black. It will match the gloss black side trim and might look better with that colour paint. Also spacers all around and maybe dinan springs/bump stops. Not a bad car if you have the msport suspension.

My boss turned up at work this morning with a Honda CR-V he got in a police auction for 1k European Pesos. 1.6 engine with intercooler, runs great, all wheel drive works. No hook to attach anything to it, and it's only 4 seats.
I think that car is totally not suited for anything work related. Besides carrying 4 people and a bucket in the boot, which is tiny.
TL;DR CR-V is a shit car. Prove me wrong.

Probably a '12-'16, since that's the only gen that came with a 1.6 (N16A1, a turbodiesel). If that's the case, then I agree, because new cars in general are shit-tier. My old '98 is nice, though.

I bought a 2019 Volkswagen GTI Golf, bought it since its just going to be a 2018 version with slightly better performanceand can get manual since its much harder to find in burgerland. I hate having a car with previous owners because there is always a stain or dent they caused that drives me up the wall. Not to mention I don't trust people to do basic maintenance. Good news is I got it for the same price as the 2018 model.Thought it was a fun drive, which is what I want in a daily and will hopefully last me at least 10 years with proper maintenance.did I fuck up bad?

Does it have a timing chain or a timing belt? if it has the former, do find out what the recommended interval is for a new timing chain, because they like to fail from fatigue.

The GTI isn't a bad bet in itself. The thing is, it has a motherfucking SPEAKER for "better" engine sounds. Disable the shit and you'll have a reliable, fun hot hatch. Not a bad buy, even from a European pov.

WEW, seriously? I knew it sounded too good whenever I put it on sport mode. I did think about that RCR review of the 2017 model to, but didn't think they kept it.

Yes. It's called soundaktor or something like that, mounted to the firewall. It should be easy to unhook it.
If you want better sound, you're better off removing the hood liner, engine cover and oil pan cover.
