Toyota = Apple

Similarly, I bought a '90 5.0 LX. Mass-Air EFI and TRW forged pistons from the factory. Very fun car, especially with the few bolt-ons it has. Got a good price on mine, especially for having fairly low mileage for its age.

I'm 25 and it means little to me.  Robot dog... oook.  Women shopping... meh.  A car being driven like a skateboard... novel idea, but no.  Guy in a suit driving an Impala with a 50's vibe... at least they're playing Sinatra.  Corvette being driven in what looks like an action movie (chased by aliens?)... ok something…

Liking the site update in general. Will need to (re)adjust to commenting system changes. Better than a few previous iterations, I will say that much.

Label me old-fashioned if you wish, but this serves my purposes just fine.

Hard to argue with the venerable Fox-chassis Mustang, even if hatchback was just one of the flavors it came in.

Something I noticed, the Ram ad obviously featured new Ram trucks. Yet the original ad, apparently compiled from a number of photos from the daily lives of farmers, only had an older Ford and older Chevy... interesting.

A few years ago Port Vincent, LA might have made this list. Technically still considered a village, the town gets a lot of commuter traffic and the people in charge had decided to treat speed traps as a funding mechanism.

There was a 460 equipped "Boss 429" drag car for sale near my house through my high school days and into about my third year of college. I assume that was on-and-off since I never saw it consistently, but that's the only thing that comes to mind.

Merc 6.2, Anything Aston... Does the Hartley H1 "Hayabusa V8" count?

My foxbody makes me feel the same way. A the sound of a healthy 5.0 can turn a frown (and whole day for that matter) around with just a stab of the go-pedal.

As far as an everyday engine goes, I'm preferential to the trusty old Ford 5.0. But since many of the commentariat are going for exotic cars I'm going for an old favorite of mine: Lamborghini V12.

This must be the new Facebook fad, seen a handful of "if i get X likes blah blah blah" posters in the past few days. Have we really gotten to the point where we outsource our decision-making to random people?

"You don't go 10/10ths on the street" is always a good rule to follow. This guy was insanely close if not right there, and judging by all that sideways action he ventured into 11/10ths quite regularly.

That I knew. But some people I've met claim that both 5.4 and 351 were available on late-model P71s. A far cry from truth.

That I didn't know. Makes it all the more ridiculous when someone tries to say they came with 4-valve 5.4s or something. Met a guy once that was convinced they had 351s.

P71 CV's where mostly a step up in suspension, brakes and alternator. Though my understanding is that they had a police-specific ECU strategy that gave it a marginal bump in power while also making it better suited for the harsh duty the car will undoubtedly see.

What you're hearing is the whine of the gears in the transmission. Racing gearboxes often employ straight-cut gears in lieu of helical ones. This makes the trans stronger, but noisy.

At least the Mustang is piping actual induction sounds into a diaphragm in the dash. Yes, it gives you the impression that the car is louder that it is otherwise, but it isn't synthesized fakery.

Pronunciation may be off, but my first thought ran to...
