I hit my new record in my FoST yesterday driving back from Cali. 41.5! Though.. that was on a downhill with a tailwind.. I was still impressed!

Ford also has a hell of a track record for under rating HP and 0-60 times.. Wouldn’t surprise me if this car does at least 4.5 in reviews.

My Focus ST is about one and a half years old now and has not one squeek or rattle. I’m pretty confident in its interior.

My 2014 Focus ST honks if I have the car running and try to lock the door telling you that the car is still running.

My ‘14 Focus ST honks at me in anger that I left it and demands me to get back in.. My shame is too great and I drive around the block to appease its hunger for more road..

I do this with my motorcycle.. Don’t have to tip the valets when you can pull up front and park. They also always give me the best spot next to the door which is just bonus.

I have a 1200 in Matte Black. I love it. And at half the price of this Arai..

2015 Triumph Street Triple R.

Though I would not really compare the two bikes, but they are similar. The Triumph Street Triple and the Duke are in the same class. Triumph has done an amazing job at putting fantastic suspension on a great chassis. The Duke has about the same price as a base Street Triple.

Obligatory.

I pay about 1100 for my brand new 2015 Triumph Street Triple R for 12 months.. Those prices seem excessive..

Just saw my first one of these here in AZ.. It was.. Interesting..

I had a Yamaha FZ6 as my first bike, and just bought a 2015 Triumph Street Triple R. Naked bikes for life. My Fiancé is also seriously considering a Ducati Scrambler, she loves the style and low weight.

Ford gave me an irrational hate of TPMS in my Focus ST. It ALWAYS thinks I have a low tire. Plus you can’t just press a button to reset it.. Nope the TPMS is “Smart”

TL;DR

Thank you BBC for killing my favorite TV show of all time. I have never missed a season of Top Gear since it started with the Clarkson, Hammond, and May. This is how you repay the loyal fans (An estimated 300 million at that). Great job.

Do not buy an E46 M3 for under 10k. Can not stress this enough. You're only begging for a car that was never taken care of. My under 10k purchase recently got me a well loved and maintained '96 E36 M3. If you're in that price range for an M, buy a 36.

100% agree on this. My 2004 that was totaled in an accident was appraised by my insurance at $12500 and it had 130k miles. Anything under 10k is going to need some serious work.

I've only owned manuals, my girlfriend wanted to learn, so I taught her. She tells me that that was the greatest gift I have ever given her. EVERYONE should learn to drive manual. More importantly, learn to drive in a manual. It will make anyone a much better driver as the amount of attention to what you are doing and…

Came here to point out this exact thing... Just bought a '96 E36 M3 and went to fill it up... Crap what side is the gas cap on?? (Looks at gas gauge) Damn you BMW!! I then proceeded to guess and chose poorly...
