/fa/ - Fashion

I would most likely pick a car for it's aesthetics rather than it's performance, purely because of the fact that i don't know shit about cars

>>10412057
If you're not racing your car, there is absolutely no reason to even consider top speeds or top acceleration numbers. They all perform about the same on the highway and streets. Comfort, convenience and looks are all you should care about.

>>10412033
I don't consider my car as a fashion extension, no, but I do consider the looks of the car generally. The overall package is ideally strong on looks, performance, and comfort, though obviously I can compromise in various respects.

I drive an A7, works for me.

>>10412033
Different cars do fit different styles.

Volvo v70, Toyota Land Cruiser, Subaru Outback (my car)

7 different Lamborghini Merci's color coded to days of the week.

In los angeles. So of course. Although uber is making it easier to think about pure utility/economy.

Pulled up to a beverly hills hotel event a few years ago and had to valet my beat up 84 camaro. No matter how well you dress, or who you are as a person, can't help feeling like a shitty outsider and pariah after that. Uber fixes that problem.

But I like outdoors shit. Want a truck. But dudes in pickups = all kinds of assumptions. So instead im looking at "crossovers" and sporty subarus and audis.

I'm too old for this insecurity shit, but alas.

>Streetwear
>STI

got me

>>10412122
>Land Cruiser
>prep
>Not workwear/lumberjackcore

I have a 2012 Tacoma. Not flashy, not fashionable, but dependable and sturdy. I only wish it got better gas mileage.

If I want to ride in style though I just take my motorcycle.

I ride bike

>>10412239
and, judging by the bike style, probably try to hard to pretend that you're Valentino Rossi.

>>10412195
Think landed gentry. Land Rover Defenders are also prep.

>>10412239
I'd ride if I lived in the desert or wide open country. Just too many idiots around the city/freeways to risk dying.

>>10412122
>>10412195
I could see all the prep stuff as workwear actually. Pickups aren't very /fa/.

>>10412245
If by trying to be one of the best riders in the world, yea I try to improve myself and my riding each time..

>>10412263
Well I live in NYC so let's just say that there plethora of idiots, but as someone told me, if you can ride and survive in NYC environment, you can survive just about any other state in USA.

Pic related is the VR46er

>>10412239
>>10412318
Just a guess, but do you also like techwear?

PREDICTION
90's cars will be super in in the next year or so

>>10412251
I think of "never ever going to see a dirt road in its life" G Wagons and Land Rovers when I think of Prep

>>10412318
So, like all of the other MotoGP wannabes, do you ride at 90MPH on the highway in sandals?

If not, congratulations, you're already smarter than 99% of other sportsbike owners.

>>10412239
CBR bros

>>10412337
No, that's the wealthcore crew. Those cars are for new money folk who don't know what to do when they get it. Frat bros also fit into this category.

Real "preps" prefer a laid-back lawn sports and outdoorsing lifestyle as opposed to bling and clubbing.

>>10412359
I rode a friends CBR 600 before and it scared the shit out of me, I'd end up killing myself if I ever got a super bike

Is the Apple Car really happening?

I get that automated transpo is the future and there's a trillion dollar prize to whoever cracks it. But surely they must be partnering with someone like tesla or mercades to produce the actual vehicles? Do they think they can produce the iphone of electric vehicles? Is tesla blackberry in this scenario? Seems insanely presumptive (not to mention risky) of a tech company to enter the car business. Then again, tech doesn't have the baggage or inertia of producing incremental upgrades on 100 year old form of transportation.

>>10412345
>sandals
The only time I saddled my bike in sandals was when I pushed it out couple feet to wash it, otherwise it's sneakers/boots, don't have the $$ for proper gear atm and winter is coming so have to plan it out.

>>10412359
Wish mine was as clean as yours m8, hows the yoshi?

>>10412390
Shame, it just shows how "self controlled" you are, it's all about the wrist respect.

>>10412334
I don't mind it, ironically enough when I ride I wear shit that is function>form.

>>10412393
>Apple Car really happening
Isn't that the Apple CarPlay? just a push from your iPhone to the cars screen, nothing impressive...

>>10412403
>apple car = apple play

Nah, have hundreds/thousands? Of people working on it. And they just met with California regulators about automated vehicles.

Who knows. They were trying to revolutionize the tv but couldn't get past entrenched gatekeepers of the medium.

>>10412393
Good. You're already doing better than every other sportsbike owner.

>>10412393
>>10412403
Yeah, it's happening: http://www.theverge.com/apple/2015/9/21/9365833/apple-electric-car-2019-report

>>10412417
>>10412413
Tbh good on them, but I hope they know what kind of waters they area bout to plunge in, it most likely will be really expensive since they can't produce bunch of cars, but if it hooks up like Tesla did, and not like Fisker, then by all means let the competition work!

>>10412403
Yoshimura sounds amazing. Your bike is clean too, are the white fairings stock? What kind of muffler do you have? I like the short profile.

>>10412493
It's a 2bros, I had the long version, but rivets failed and it turned into a straight pipe, lucky enough friend works in a dealership and in the back a mechanic gave him the same pipe, but from a bike that has its exhaust on lower part, aka the "shortie" Previous owner installed the white fairing, most likely because he fucked up the prior one as you know, your fairings are the OG ones, and I think they should be pearlized?

>Tfw booking it and hit a bump so hard that my bike changes it's tone and now is straight pipe.

This my baby, well not this one but excactly the same. Might not be the most effay whip but I like big cars

>>10412516
>those Discount Tire, shit tier wheels
Everyone with a truck bigger than a Tacoma has such shit taste for some reason.

>>10412335
nigga they've been in, the 90s for cars is really iconic.

>>10412122
Outbacks are for lesbians. Opposite of prep.

>>10412033
Guys my parents are buying me a sub-30k car for my college grad present. What should I get??

>inb4 spoiled brat, etc.

>>10412510
The paint on my bike doesnt have pearl.
How do you prevent that shitty exhaust smell that gets into your clothes after riding?

>>10412122
Subaru Outbacks and v70s are soccer mom cars

I think your car should compliment your style. If I see a goth ninja get out of a 93 civic I'm going to laugh. Same with a twink with palewave in a lifted truck. A vehicle is a avatar of sorts and can say a lot about the owner

>>10412545
Get a moped/scooter and use the remainder to pay for 2-3 years rent.

>tfw an old thunderbird convertible would fit me, but 10mpg doesn't

>>10412122
What about me?
Acura Legend

4lyfe

>>10412601
You're black?

>>10412619
Nah

:3

>>10412547
>How do you prevent that shitty exhaust smell that gets into your clothes after riding?
Idk man, either ride fast that the fumes keep going out and not sizzling up to you, or walk it out, I usually leave all my riding gear near the door that has a window, so next day, everything smells better. I think each bike and person have different sense of smell so what I like, might be something you don't etc.
Might also be a leak? when you start the bike does the exhaust profusely spurt out gasses?

>>10412656
More Hondas?

>>10412687
Honda makes a crazy good engine this is a 78 and it started up first kick this morning

>>10412692
Honda reliability m8, can't be beaten, shame that they are slacking atm in the automotive department from all the enthusiastic shit that they were coming out in the 90s early 00s.

>>10412711
I've heard Suzuki is quite the bulletproof engine as well, at least on the DRZ. I'm peeping you in the /dbt/ by the way

>>10412750
I never had a Suzuki, when I was getting a bike, the orange tribal CBR was my friends, and after MSF he let me ride it, after that moment, I just wanted a Honda.
Yea /dbt/ is shitposttime, I'm sick so can't ride atm and it's night.

>>10412819
tfw everyone around me is getting sick and i'm scared as fuck cause I hate being sick.

>>10412842
It's the flu season man, needed to go to doctor for checkup cause insurance minimums, he asked if I wanted one cause I didn't get one in past 5? years so I said why not, 24 hours later I'm fighting it, but I drink tea and just had some soul so I'll be 100% recovered by tomorrow.

>>10412867
ohh you're that guy from the dbt thread. I find myself feeling like shit every morning and after class or work but I'm not sick I guess I just need to eat better or have less stimulation or something idk

forgive english, I am russia

>>10412899
Mfw half of russia is in either a benz beema or a lada..

>>10412882
Try to change up shit, maybe you are missing out on a important meal?

If your car was made after 1979 it's not a fashion accessory

>>10412335
Wow! These is dope! Do you have any more pictures like this? I'm getting a real cool vibe from this, I can't explain it.

Troop carriers are love

Troop carriers are life

Is my car /fa/ guys???
Idk if i should cop a new one, ive got like 11 grand in cash and i would like something like a g35

>>10412335
only if it is in top notch condition. If it has faded paint and other defects, you simply look poor / college kid / frugal.

>>10412335
Thanks for raising my awareness for 95 honda civics. They really look like cars that kids would play with, hot wheels in real life. That Hatchback looks fresh. I'd put a spoiler on the coupe but the little wheels are dope.
