Absolutely, grab the 2015. Just expect it to be... more complex.

Newer old Taurii with the 3.0 Vulcan are one of those combinations that won’t excite anyone, but will “survive”.

One of the weird things about cars over 20 years old is that, unless you find the odd low-mileage ringer (which should be avoided for other…

Head gaskets are a 3.8L problem, packaging constraints lead to the rear cylinder head getting and staying warmer than the rest of the engine, causing the older non-MLS head gaskets to degrade.

*Are* in use.

In very late 1982 the 1983 Thunderbirds would have been out, if that’s your thing. That would have marked the start of the “aero revolution” for US manufacturing.

Mites have anuses.

So I’ve got a bunch of little a**holes all up in my face, at all times. Why does that sound familiar... and horrifying.

They are indeed the same platform, but definitely not badge engineered. Drastically different appearances, especially in the rear 3/4 view.

The 80-82 cars did leave you blind though.

“Thunderbird/Cougar of the 80's”

Elaborate please, because you’re talking about five or six distinctly different designs and possibly seven or eight if the MN12's arrival was early enough for your qualification.

80-82 was close enough for a draw, but the 83-85 and 86-89 Tbird and Cougars were very distinct from each…

“Happy little British car”
“Hateful piece of sh*t”

I’m confused, I really thought those are the same thing...

If the 500s were the same as the set my parents had that failed, the belts would slip and break. Odd how I still remember that story, I was just a kid when it happened... ‘76 Ford Elite, going down the highway and suddenly felt like a blowout. They pulled over, and all the tires looked fine... didn’t feel fine!…

... wow. Just wow, what an incorrect take on reality...

Brake shoes, on the second good hard stop.

The secret to American school buses is that they’re built like tanks. Literally. You can find test footage online where they hit them with trains, roll them, slam into them with commercial trucks... they’re supposed to be hard to roll over, and if you hit the body hard enough it’s supposed to stay in one piece even if…

They pulled the same rules shenanigans with Ford too, you know.
That only leaves one guy at the table...  (technically two but AMC wasn’t exactly going to push NASCAR around.)

I use a quart every 4-5000 miles. Lose, actually, there’s an extremely slow leak.
It’s a 2003 GMC Sonoma, 2.2L oHV, with 315,000 miles on it and the engine still has all the factory gaskets in it.

Hyundai *really* screwed up, because if 00's era GM can have it right...

Hrmm. So all these planes are essentially going to be stuck in Russia forever for fear of being seized. Not only that, but good luck ever getting a payment plan from a leasing entity or manufacturer ever again...

“According to the letters, one of the aggressive practices that is hurting the image of the Korean brands involves ‘advertising one price online and then marking up that price when the customer comes into the dealership.’“

That’s not just an aggressive practice, that’s literally a crime.

“I love cars and trucks, and I love driving, but”

But... how far back in the list of your articles must you go to find a car take that’s truly positive?

.... this court hereby fines you 5% of your current net worth.

“But I’m broke!” “Show this paperwork to the clerk and pay your.... *mental math*.... $20 fine, and they’ll tell you how to contact the rehab facility.”

Rich guy: “But that’s over a million dollars!” “Well, should have thought twice about driving under the…

STEAL
ROUND
PICKY

And if you can’t get it from there you’re probably HOSED.

I don’t understand the draw to giving everyone on earth a single $20 bill. If you want to punish the guy, punish him. Don’t hide your intentions behind noble bullshit like “distribute his money!”. There are 8 billion people on this cursed planet, that’s a lot of ways to split...
