I drove a citybus once. Everything felt so easy, thanks to the power assisted steering and brakes. Not to mention the auto gearbox. The only thing that's weird is you have to start steering much later than you'd expect, as the wheels are behind you.

Dyno test of various mechanical fan styles.

30 horsepower lost by an OE style fan. Wowe.

I think I'm getting an electric fan for the alfa. Ofc i doubt it'll regain that much power since the fan is so much smaller but it still should be a noticeable increase.

On my trucks my mint green one has a 4.8L V8 and the white one has a 6.0

Not a bad car at all. How much did it cost?

edit:

why tho, he would just end up spending much more than the car is worth just to get it running

get the needed parts (engine and stuff) and save up for other stuff later.

flat tow it. What could possibly go wrong?

well, tires are questionable! lol one of my friends knows someone with a trailer he'd let me borrow for nothing so I'll get it tomorrow.

So I might be getting a car sometime coming in the next year or so... I was wondering what you guys might recommend? I'd like something durable, but also easy to modify if I'd like.

I'd get anything from the 90's with fuel injection, for a daily driver. a truck or car preferably? maybe a reliable ole honda accord/civic or a chevy/ford truck? all are fairly easy to work on.

A Celica or Miata are pretty cheap, easy to find, and aren't lacking in the mods department.

A 4-door vehicle would be a good choice for me, or a 2-door with ample trunk space.
