Does anyone else drive around by themselves at night while listening to some synthwave music or something? The warm summer nights we've got in Australia right now, and the way the sun takes its sweet time to set over the course of 2-3 hours make it extra comfy.
I do it a lot in the summer, usually with Megadrive playing.
Juan Russell
No, my engine overheats.
Connor Scott
I do this during the winter when it's a pleasant 40F outside. The cool breeze and the even cooler music make for a good feel when blazing through long curves on the wide-open country roads.
Andrew Foster
I unironically listen to 90's pop music (nsync, aqua, 2unlimited etc) while driving around at night
Aiden Nguyen
das it mane
Gabriel Jackson
I do this as often as I can through Brisbane. Found an awesome 1 hour route from North to South and back again
Angel Cooper
No because Fuel is expensive as fuck here, my car depot never got fulled because i have to pay %20 of my monthly paycheck for that.
Matthew Nelson
Good cunt, what state? I do this whenever I can, coastal roads at sunset and midnight runs are fantastic in summer.
Aiden Evans
No because there are no nice roads to drive in where I live
Canada is shit
Camden Robinson
I do for sure. Hit up kavinsky for drive tier tunes.
Unfortunately hawthorn melba is too far into the city for nice drives, so it takes a bit for me to get out to somewhere nice.
I have no idea what synthwave is, but I love driving at night with music playing. I do it almost every night I'm not working. In the winter it's great because I can put the windows down and enjoy the cool air.

Australia is pretty sick at the moment for evening drives, i understand your feels >turning off radio to listen to the engine drone >ave. 130km/h on an empty stretch of road >all windows rolled down >a green glow irradiates from the dashboard >fearful your car might break down at any time >if it did, you will either die or get wolf creek'd >country roads of vast nothingness
alternatively >dusk for 2 hours >cruising at 80 through the city outskirts >soft amber lights flickering as you drive past >1 or 2 cars follow with you through the city >the bonnet reflects the tall buildings >hundreds of foot pounds of torque at idle
Nicholas Moore
No because synthwave sucks
Kayden Kelly
I used to all the time when ny FD ran. Best feeling ever cruising around slowly in a ~400hp car.
Blake Howard
Shame we are living the worst 90's car bubble.
Julian Garcia
yeah, sometimes the misses comes too.
fellow ausfag
late night drives are so good. late night rides are also fucking mint.
Asher Green
what
Joseph Baker
Yes, it's great! Shame there are no really good driving roads around where I live. But late night empty city cruising is cool too
William Ortiz
>tfw just finished the 4age rebuild >comfy summer nights incoming
James Roberts
I meant pricing bubble on 90's cars.
Gavin Price
What a fucking beauty, man. I am thinking of buying an 86 myself. Those Watanabes look awesome.
Jack Robinson
90's cars are literally at their cheapest, apart from the 2 door weeb shit >1988-1999 falcadores 100-1000 bucks >econoboxes, shitboxes, landbarges, utes, trucks >any body style can be had for under 1k
Tyler Cruz
save yourself the money and get a early 80's celica/300zx if you want the aesthetic
Owen Cruz
Yeah, if you would want something like an 86 in a good shape, you better have atleast 10k.
John Long
The AE86 is a meme poofter car. You get the same experience from a KE70 for 1/50th of the price.
Justin Hall
fuck you my cars been off the road in the shop waiting for 1000 things for over a month
;_;
Juan Johnson
Hell yeah to the 80s celica. Yeah I loved it, until I put my car into a guardrail. It'll be back soon, I hope. +1 for the city drives, like the gleam off of the sides of the car from the street lights.
Tyler Cruz
This.
you can pick up 4 door falcadore xr6t or vt-vx ls1s for like 3-6k
Daniel Flores
The Celica is really nice, desu. But I'd be having trouble converting it to RWD. Since I drift professionally. I already have an 240sx, and I want to get a hachiroku as a side project, and full renovate it.
Charles Myers
WHY THE FUCK DID I SAY DESU. I do not recall saying anything like that.
Carson Price
I hoped that the 86 had a bit better weight balance. Been in 2 decent ke70s, one with a 4age and coils. The other with a kinda built 4k(if that's even possible), spring/strut setup and some of the tightest and best bucket seats I've ever felt. Both felt like they weren't rigid enough.
Nolan Phillips
Just get an ra65. Mate had one with a hilux 2.4 engine and the thing would barely keep straight.
Kayden Miller
third gen celicas were the last RWD's why the hell would you convert one. the 21r/22r engines also have similar stock performance to stock 4age's. I dont think they take engine mods as well tho
Mason Myers
cheers breh
they aren't watanabes i got rid of those wheels a while ago
i've got a stack of wheels left to restore, then i'll see what looks best on it
pretty much this
Jason Morris
To try and defend the 86 a little bit, it has a shit engine with slow acceleration, but the handling is said to be incredible
Isaac Lee
Well, they certainly look like Watanabes
Henry Gutierrez
>NOT A TRUENO REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Ryder Miller
Even if this is meant as a joke. Due to the rarity of the 86's you can't be picky. Whether it's a Trueno, Levin, hatch or notchback.
Elijah Baker
cruising along the beach on a hot summer night is nice but for me nothing beats long drives in the Adelaide hills during autumn
Kevin Rodriguez
I'm in Victoria. Weather can be pretty shit at times, but when it's good, it's really fucking good.
Kevin Torres
Man I want to go driving right now because of this song.
Yeah, although my finances has been a bit tight and I can't go around driving aimlessly wasting gas as much I want, gas is $1.1 a liter.
I mostly listen to J-pop though.
Jack Jackson
>hip hop/rap
Xavier Myers
>hip-hop/rap is bad amirite guys?
Get off the internet, grandpa.
Robert Murphy
i used to do this a lot but now that my car is actually worth something and its so high HP its more stressful than enjoyable
Isaiah Young
Buy a cheap shitbox for the weeknds
Xavier Richardson
hip hop and rap is shit, deal with it
Jaxon Miller
Just smoked some resin and a bunch of dead pot leaves with xans in the bowl and im about to go on my usual have-nothing-to-do-but-cant-sleep drive
Jeremiah Fisher
Do you have an FD?
Christian Powell
I do this often while tackling the mountain roads near my home, though lately the snow and ice have made my favorite routes a bit too dangerous to drive while pumped up on eurobeat, so I have started driving out in the desert on atv routes instead. Unfortunately, I still crashed my camry after spinning out, but at least I felt cool while doing so. Also I didn't die, so I guess that's good too. Pic related is of the general area in which I crashed, except just imagine that it is completely iced over and in the middle of the night. I really should start listening to more mellow synthwave but that stupid eurobeat somehow makes driving so much more enjoyable than it would be otherwise.

>speakers broken >CD stuck in radio >no aux fuck this
