Should i buy this car?

I say no.

Yeah I used to dream about an Acura RSX type-s in school during the "hot hatch craze."

I now have the opportunity to buy a 2000 c5 corvette from my uncle. It had about 150,000 miles. No wrecks, one owner, how much should I pay?

I went and looked at the miata but it was very worn car and turned it down. The corvette is garage kept, convertible, automatic (uhhhh). But is has a 345HP ls1 engine!

I just bought a 2022 soul red Miata and it’s the most fun car i have ever driven and to top if of it get 38 mpg.

Thats cool. I want and sat in one when they came out at the auto show (being a previous NA owner). Problem is I own 3 other cars so need something a little cheaper. The c5 corvette I expect I will pay $10,000 for. Scotty Kilmer owns an ND miata.

How's that going to run on 15-20% ethanol?

Well idk but my f150 can run on e85.

cargurus

"Mistake put e85 in 1997 ford f150"
E85 is 85% grain Alcohol and none of the f-series are designed for it computere wise unless it says so.

Yeah i guess they are screwed. They still sale non ethanol. My trucks a 2010 I forgot to mention.

A Miata? Are you gay?

I would imagine this is one way to get older cars off the road.

Yep.

I'm not even sure when they started with 10%, one day I just noticed that years ago, when the go to 15 or 20%, no one will be able to mow their damn lawns.

I feel odd in small cars.

The bigger the better for me.


It has to be strong though.Id break a fucking tank..

Go big or go home.

Or you could get one of these that make a miata seem like a luxury sedan buy feel like a Superbike in comparison

Those would be my top picks of classic super sports cars. A supercharged nsx circa 2005 also.

They make LS3 engine swaps for them...

Honestly I’d hang onto my $$$ right now but I’m not you

It'll still run.

E85 has 30% less BTU's than regular gasoline so it takes around 30% more fuel to reach stochiometric ratio. The computers can handle 30% LT + 30% ST so around 60% total, but it will put the check engine light on and throw lean codes.

IT'S ALMOST 30 YRS OLD! IT WILL NOT BE RELIABLE! FUCK THE 3K
MILES! IT'S TOO OLD! IT'S PARTS HAVE AGED! DUMB FUCK CUNT!!!

Here it comes.

I drove my old 94 around the country. You underestimate Mazda. Its not a dodge shit for brains.

I went 4 wheeling earlier, I just want Ed check a couple things so I went up a dirt road and just kept doing.

I pretty much finish the duramax Dana 60 front axle crossmember .

rolled all the way over a pass and almost to the other side and the road cratered into a nasty mud pit full of logs and shit with two(2) huge ruts to big for my rig on 38’s with a winch.

But there were another way! One way went between some trees that was really narrow or there was a way up over around the trees.

It rained all day yesterday so the ground was wetter than fuck and I made it all that way in 2wd.

So I went for the upper part around the trees in 2wd and my rig slid sideways till the positioning just fucking sucked and I ways going nowhere.

So I put it in 4. It’s a big truck with big tires and a lot of fucking power and this was the first run . So I backed up a bit and got a little fucking speed and Fuck You I’m In A DuraMax , fucking mud flying the sound of all that shit hittin the underneath and over one little knoll and a couple more and no way back across to the road .

It’s a down hill rolling green little valley with tall green grass and yellow flowers all along hillsides with springs all about, and I got to turn around and going up and back out ,

Oh look wrong wrench to check all the new bolts from this morning , 13/16ths as apposed to 3/4ers .hope it holds with only 4 bolts for this dive i was going to take it easy on .

No Problem for the Fucking DuraMax 2200Fucking RPM , Fucking Mud Fucking Flying Over Hill and Fucking Dale Like I Fucking Mean To.

Got home , everything is tight and still lined up I might need a u-joint in the rear that’s about it.

Ok what about a 2000 yellow corvette with roughly 150,000 miles? Is $10,000 too much? "Good" condition. Not excellent.

Z06?

No its just a convertible corvette with an ls1. 345hp is alot to me.

A Miata, just in time for pride month!

Around here, the only people that drive Miatas are old gay guys.

So there is that

No.

For a bit more your can get a 2000-2002 Boxster which is a better car in every way and super reliable. I put 140k miles on one including a lot of track days, honestly in some ways I liked it better than my current late model 911 Turbo.
