- Skip to about 1:30elahon
- wow. insane. imagine what a deer wandering into its path would do._niko
- Did he really change gear at 250mph! LOLHayzilla
- Except for the technical challenge, what is exactly the point of making a car that goes 300mph?ApeRobot
- @ape Get back from work, pick up kids from school and drive home. all in 20 minutes instead of 2 hours.Beeswax
- the drone that follows him is more impressive lolBennn
- @bees make sense now. ;)ApeRobot
- Still only about half the speed of a conventional jet plane.utopian
- Theres word that they are gonna beat the land speed record in 2020. 1000mph.Hayzilla
- ^ Not in a Chiron obviously. The 25yr old land speed record has to go!Hayzilla
- As much as I dislike this sort of shit, I've more respect for speed records done with ICE than our bloody 'strap a jet engine onto steel wheels' effortNairn

you have $25k (i don't) is it better to buy a brand new car or an older, better model?
What would you buy with an imaginary 25k budget?
- also must be a 4 door sedan or hatchback._niko
- 25k is not much for a decent quality brand new car. You'd be buying upper economy to middle range stuff.Muncher
- But 25k can buy you an awful lot of highly desirable older stuff that has merely depreciated sharply.Muncher
- And 25k would buy you a well sorted retro or classic car.Muncher
- 5 yrs old will get you a 50k car for less than 25k. 25k new is Kia, Mazda, Toyota.Muncher
- Audi A4formed
- http://www.ebay.com/…formed
- I'd buy a pre owned Subaru. Those things last forever, always score high on Consumer Reports, and are known for being reliable - get more for your $ over time.whatthefunk
- 3/5 seriesimbecile
- It seems to me older cars are often better built, newer cars offer bullshit features like the latest Bluetooth connectivity or lame gps_niko
- If you spent $15k on a used Subaru and put the other $10k in a savings account for repairs when needed... it will probably be around longer than you will.nb
- Yeah I quite like Subarus couldn't get a WRX for that kind of money but a decent Impreza is doable_niko
- +1 Subaru, though you'll find that they hold their value well in used market = They're pricey. Good you don't get a WRX. Anything turbo is asking for repairs.monNom
- Buy 2000 Honda, pocket 22kfuturefood
- 2000 year model, last you into next decade ****futurefood
- Lol currently driving a 07 accord, 270k km on it and it feels like it could easily do another 270k!_niko
- old in great condition. but expect to spend $ for garage if you are in NYC ($2400/year in my case) and time on fixing things here and there.pr2
- Hatchback Impreza ftw. Or, just keep that Accord, and buy something cool.section_014
- Krassy6
- about time. It's got a million times more energy potential than anything, and its so abundant._niko
- So it has two large hydrogen cylinders running lengthwise down the middle of the car... def scary in best circumstances, what happens if this car gets t-boned?prophetone
- ... and zero luggage space.
The tech is the way to go mind.
Looks pretty though.ShaneHolley

http://bringatrailer…instrmntl - 2002
http://bringatrailer…instrmntl - My first car back in the 90s... a burgundy 1974 2002 with FAHRT START superpowersprophetone
- ...and i wish i still had it. could actually cool it out now like so http://www.stancewor…prophetone
- mmmm... I can see that s14 being fun in that car. takes away from the classic aspect of it though. Which is odd because 02 guys swap different motors in these..sofakingback
- all the time. I would ditch the wheels, remove window tint and repaint the engine back to stock, looks cooler that way.sofakingback
- Price wise, this will end up at 18-22k. The motor swap makes it questionable. nice 02s bring in 21-23k right now.sofakingback
- instrmntl: if you're digging the e9s, that red one is tempting because of the engine / tranny combo. These usually come with 3.0 engines and 4 speed trannys.sofakingback
- Specialized shops, put 3.5 engines, with 4 or 5 speed, LSD, with a sport bilstein suspension. really changes the car... but these are fucking priceysofakingback
- I tried getting one last year and it was tough finding the right one. That red one looks like it has some rough edges. Probably needs a resto from what i can sesofakingback
