Its from 2003 and not working that great so im probably going to trade it
Might go with Chevy then, maybe Suburu, maybe Honda

>>35798
Just get a Honda bro. Cheap and easy will last you a while.
Matter of fact sell your crappy ford cash get a decent Honda paid off.
Save up for a nice Tahoe or wrx or whatever you really like.

fords were king for about 80 years, but lately all their shit has become bloated piece of shit plastic with transmissions that barely can make it to 200k miles. get a nissan or honda

>>35798
toyota camry or corolla

Exactly what brings me to making this thread

I had to get a new tranny and im not even at 100k miles yet.

I am going to be trading this thing in sometime next year, because right now its what im living in and its design is sort of like a station wagon, not quite a hatchback.

Its got so many problems. Driver side window doesnt roll down, ubless i do a fucktom Of fidgeting like holding the button down while I flick my passenger window button up n down a bucnh which only works sometimes and only if the car has been roasting in the sun/cold freezes it completely.

Feels like i can barely exceed 40mph sometimes, others i have a lot of torque and can hit 70 without even pressing the gas that much.
Makes too many annoying noises for me, not from the engine but from the top of the car where a rack type thing for holding shit vibrates loosely all the time.

Point blank, i do not like my car. I am being offered a trade in without even asking, like, hey youre due for a trade in come stop by for newest model cuz yours is old!

However im done with ford, so, if not a WRX Subi then im probably going Chevy like the first reply told me. They seem to be fairly priced, and pretty good from what i read but who knows.

So a while since the last update.
Im gonna make a general post, if you guys have any questions or things you want me to elaborate on let me know.

So the last leg of the trip we went from The Netherlands to south italy then from south italy to portugal with my girlfriend. It was the longest hitching trip either of us ever made.
It was quite a trial but we made it through the other side as a stronger couple and stronger individuals.

We went to the Portuguese rainbow gathering. It was one of the smaller rainbows i've ever been to.


Now me and the GF have an apartment and Jobs in Lisbon. She does phone based customer support for dutch speaking people and I litteraly start a job as a Tuk Tuk driver tomorrow!

I'll keep the thread going for now so it doesn't fall off of page 10 and post interesting things about the goings on of my life. But for now the travel is going to be minimal and the vagabonding is more or less over. I've got an appartment, a phone, internet, electricity and even a fucking washer and dryer.

Were in a tiny ass company provided appartment but were looking to upgrade.

I just want to thank all you guys for actually giving a shit and reading all my nonsense!

So I just messaged a bunch of people who are also travelers that I know to see if they would be willing to be interviewed or to collaborate on a test pilot episode for a podcast about traveling.
I'll keep you guys updated.

>>35746

Dude, nice.

Glad to hear from you again! Keep up with the updates, dude. I might be traveling within the next year myself. Likely out of my car, though, but this thread is great tips and fiddles regardless.

>>35759
sounds interesting right there

Wanna ride?

>>35454
wow I never knew bicycles and hot babes would be such a good combination

>>35485

True dat

This is really cool, op. Keep up the good work! Very knowledgeable posts, good read. Thanks for sharing, dude!

>>35603
No problem. Gonna keep checking to make sure I answer any questions.

>>35600
What is this? The electric motor?

>>35565
Hey I have the same kit. I'm very happy with it. You should order the programing cable and tune it. You can get a lot more range. I have an 11 mile commute and I haven't touched my car since I installed the motor.

How many watts per km?

Last month, my friend and I drove 35 miles to the nearest Sonic since I hadn't been to one in a few years and it just opened recently. For me, I'd travel to eat somewhere as long as it's around 50 miles or under and within an hour or less drive. I might do the same just for Cook Out.

>>35780
Bet you've never even wrenched faggot. I'm just trying to lend a hand.

Who gives a fuck if i slap small turbos on shitty jap cars lol

>>35782
U so sensitive

Is it because of your small car?

>>35783
I've owned many cars in my lifetime (51 to be exact) and I've owned some good ones like a 1990 Eagle Talon TSI AWD turbo that I modified to make 586 awhp, multiple Cadillacs, I even built a 92 Dodge Colt hatch with a 4g63t swap that ran 11s, but this Civic has been my favorite because it's reliable, easy to build and work on, and nobody expects it to be as fast as it is. I'm upset

OP here

This took a really brash turn.

What im saying is that the cabin heat used to run just fine, and now it doesnt.

Not like I need it now. But the engine thermostat reads hot after 2 minutes of switching the cabin heat knob to hot.

>>35776
Will do m8. I hope its not the head gasket.

>>35772

Whatever, we obviously don't understand eachother, no biggie tho

>>35777
ask and ye shall receive

>>35764
Im a biased northerner (come t' north...), but I wouldnt say to focus on getting an authentic "english" experience in London, a British experience maybe.. London is very much an international city like New York, renowned for its exotic wares, the showcase of an empire. Getting a fish and chips there is just as authentic as getting a curry or sushi or whatever. The same extends to what you want to do there, whatever you are interested you can probably find some of the best of it in London. I'd recommend specific places but I dont think even those who live there cant keep track of such a changing city. At least the museums will always remain some of the best in the world and free! (national portrait is a personal fav). You can have the whole world in London if you have the money (and you might need a lot of money..)

isnt there like roman ruins and shit in england? or... english ruins? like castles and stuff? thats what i would want to check out

>>35786
Theres a few good castles in england, but for the best ones you have to go to Ireland, Scotland and Wales, where they were needed to intimidate the celts. As for roman ruins we have a few but not many cause we were a frontier nation (hadrians wall, bath, chester and york have good roman stuff).
What we do have though is lots of ruins of monasteries and cathedrals from when we did away with catholics, bit of a shame compared with the existing ones left in the rest of europe.

You should check out atlas obscura also OP.

RIP lil bike. The storage gods were unkind. Now I have this hunk o crap, til we replace it. So glad I don’t have to sleep in it anymore.

I seem to have fallen for Subaru Crosstreks and outbacks and hope to get one at some point. Based on the number of Subarus itt, I think I might not be stupid for it.

>>35750

>>35745
Good Choice. Stay safe out there, friend. If you see me coming the other way, dont forget the wave.

All y’all getting mad at the guy boosting his Honda. Yo can’t beat the price to build a civic. I’m rocking a crappy d17 with just arp headstuds and a turbo off a 15 Ford Fusion. I’m running only 6psi but it’s held together for 2 years now running off a fucking piggyback somehow. Street tunes it with a buddy and although it ain’t perfect my build only cost me $2000. When this blows I’m going k24 block with a k20 head worth a shorty base model rsx 5 speed.

I got money for better cars but Honda’s are like LEGO’s and are cheap to build if you can do the work yourself. Im a fanboy but I respect alll cars and I make my cars look stock as crap from the outside. 14” Steelies for the win

>>35773

Never do.

700 miles in, and I need a bigger bike. I will slowly work my way up to a 1000cc. Hopefully by that time this company is still around. https://blklabmotorcycles.com/collections/shop/products/00blk-for-the-grxr1000

Spend some time just riding the overground trains and check out the landscape. it's beautiful really and the more rural areas are great to visit especially if you can find the local attractions.
In cities the gaming arcades are a lot of fun too. Pretty much any arcade game you can think of is available if you want to just spend a day playing whatever you can.
If you find some company bar hopping is great too. there's a big variety

Thanks for the ideas dudes, it's only 4 weeks to go now and I have a healthy list of shit to do.

>Dont forget its illegal to smoke on many streets (bars tend to be ok though)

fascinating. My apartment and street are non smoking so I gotta go scope out the nearest place to get my nicotine into my body
