Focus and Fiesta ST owners get a free trip to the Ford Octane Academy. Pretty cool perk for a car a lot of people can actually afford.

Yeah, that way when it gets rear ended nothing of value will be lost! ;)

Lots of guys throw dual exhaust / GT bumpers on 6 cyl mustangs, but I think I can see "GT" on his fake rear gas cap, so unless he bedded up a V6 as a GT, you're probably right

Considering if he has no insurance whatsoever and hits someone he could be a few hundred thousand more in debt if he's on the hook for medical bills. But short term > Long term or something like that.

Personally I think you're the one that's missing the point. There's no way that a private company can compete with a government run company that's tax subsidized, so you can't tell them that they have to 'do something different' to survive when the largest selling point of a gas station is its price. Maybe some people…

What are you towing around? Because cars and the ranger don't have the same towing capacity as larger trucks do.

I'd say any car that they can buy themselves is the 'best' car for a teenage gear head. No matter how 'reasonably priced' the car you buy them is, nothing gets someone to appreciate a car that they can buy on their own (not to mention 99% of 16 year olds can't really afford something that's too nice for them anyways.)…

You don't need 4wd if you're towing heavy trailers and aren't going to see much / any snow or mud. I've seen a fair number of bigger pickup trucks pulling large 4-5 car trailers on the highway, wouldn't need 4wd for that.

From his first post:

I actually looked up numbers since "I'm your source" doesn't really convince me in the age of the internet (not blaming you, just plenty of armchair experts out there so it's hard to believe anyone without proof.)

Do you have a source for that?

No, I made fun of you for wanting to shit on other people's parades. If you don't like the sound a 707 HP Hemi makes while doing burnouts, more power to you.

Assuming that you're going to have other expenses, you probably should spend all of that $15,000 on the car.

Lol okay, you like to jump to conclusions huh? Tell me where I said I wouldn't like to see a head to head race against similar cars. I'll wait. Liking burnouts (and moreso liking the noise the Hellcats engines makes) and liking track competition don't have to be mutually exclusive.

Hey guys check it out, this guy doesn't like things that other people like. Those other people must be wrong!

I assumed 'more informed' on GMs finances means that they know more than what available to the public, since their financial information is so easily obtainable it takes less time to find it than it takes to type a Kinja post.

You're asking for proprietary insider information?

Is whats written on the side of the truck not in Russian?

Was it burning oil at startup or is my monitor making white smoke look blue?

No, they bash guys who buy expensive cars and then bash guys who buy cheaper, economical cars.
