VW Polo is leaving India
I really think I missed out on an opportunity that Iāll probably never see again in my life.
About two months ago, I was scrolling through craigslist looking for a beater car. However, I ended up coming across a 1st generation, 1986 Toyota MR2. These cars generally go for $12k for one in āwornā condition, upwards of $30k for one in really good condition. The one I found? $3k. And it was in running condition, but needed a cooling system rebuild. Yes, it had some rust. Yes, it had nearly 240,000mi on the clock (itās basically a Corolla though, so itāll have no problem reaching 500k). Yes, it wasnāt exactly in pristine condition, but itās a MR2, and not the crappy 3rd gen. What I would easily consider to be my dream sports car was available on the market in a price range that I could have easily afforded.
Quite frankly, an opportunity like this will likely never come up in my life again. MR2s, and modern-classics in general have shot up in value over the past few years. Even a beat up MR2 like this one could easily fetch $10k in the current market.
I really wish I had jumped on that opportunity when I first saw it.
oof
oh
Doing online drivers Ed rn and it sucks
Iāve gotta get new tires and Iāve narrowed down to a few options. But right now Iām trying to decide between some All Terrains. Should I go with Falken Wildpeaks or Yokohama Geolandars.
Theyāre both about the same price, but Yokohamas look like theyāll do better in the snow based on the tread block pattern. Theyāre a tiny bit more, but Iāve also heard that they last a bit longer than the Falkens. Plus itās the tire that Subaru puts on the Wilderness models from factory.
Yokohama Geolandars:

rims arenāt included, Iād use my current ones

So, based on the fact that I need new tires after today, Iāve ordered some new tires. All things considered, I went with the Yokohamas. Theyāll do better in the snow than the Falkens, and it sounds like theyāve got better tread ware so theyāll last longer.
I donāt speak car! Can you translate that to normal person please!
Do you push a button or a lever to make all the wheels have power or does the car do that itself (or in my case, thatās just how it always is)
Lol no.
Jeep is pretty sh*t.
Not near as bad as the early '00s GM Hummer H2 and H3 though
jeep is the best wth u talkin abt
Ight have fun in your mall crawler. Iāll be out here rallying through the snow (and not getting stuck) in a vehicle from the worldās best car company.
aka jeep
No my car does not have that!
So itās either AWD or 2wd.
Do you know if all four wheels get power?
Iām not sure
Iām gonna guess itās awd. Volvo are pretty well known for being awds (not as famous as Subaru, but nothing is when it comes to awd).
