See that's what killed me about the whole thing, the best dealer that I went to is the one who couldn't get the 'stang, and who also is no longer in business. A (relatively) small town dealer that greeted me the second I pulled up in my '87 CRX (which, at the time, looked decent enough but was obviously over 10 years…

Frankly, I agree 100%. Thanks Giz, you've been stepping it up quite a bit lately and it's nice to see. Now back to the article.

Hear hear. I'm in a similar boat, but 6 2 with a 34in inseam, and the only seats I fit in remotely comfortably are first class. I've got to fly at the end of the month and no first seats were in my price range so I'm taking a gamble on Frontier airlines "extended legroom" seats. I know width wise i'm going to be in…

I wouldn't doubt it one bit. I've had all kinds of experiences at dealerships and frankly - none of them have been great. One really rings in my mind, though.

Bingo. I'll be honest, if it was me buying a car, you just described my appearance to a "T".

Freaking priceless! My parents kind of sort of did similar - without the jerk part. When they bought their '97 F-150 XLT and '96 SHO their bank wasn't open so pops plopped down the AmEx.

I tend to agree. Some of the most talented folks I know are completely lacking in a degree that isn't from the school of hard knox.

I'm flying at the end of the month and I've tried everything to avoid it, but I have to. The thought of driving or enduring three days on a train cross-country overwhelm my desire to not-fly.

And don't forget, this version is also absolutely gorgeous. Seriously, HTC did this one right. I was saving my upgrade eligibility for possibly the next iPhone but this.. this is it.

Well the best thing about car-driving AI is that it has to get through DOT beauracracy. I wouldn't be surprised if self-driven vehicles are available in the next 5 years. I WOULD be surprised if it gets through the government certification in the next 20.

I'll +1000 to what d-avid said. Android phones are extremely high maintenance, but if you are willing to maintain them - they can be phenomenal. EVO is a serious case in point, my wife also had one (you can see my comment on my EVO above) after having a iPhone 3G and I ordered her a Sprint iPhone 4 the second they…

Many who have seen my threads may know/observe me to be a bit of a iOS fanboy. And it's true! In my left pocket is my iPhone 4, thankyouverymuch Verizon. But what's in my right pocket?

My first thought when viewing this was not "oh cool" but sheer, unadulterated terror. I mean look how many people try to kill me daily in their car right now just by texting and talking? Seriously, I'm not trying to be all GET OFF MY LAWN but BUT seriously!

In this case it's more an issue with Nokia than Verizon. Nokia is mainly a GSM company, so be that as it is, they've never had a presence with either Sprint or Verizon here in the states.

Count yourself lucky! Later Ultradrives seemed to manage to stay alive, but would - literally - explode when they went bad. We have one, and yes one winter day the damn thing literally grendaded itself all over an intersection.. and it was the third transmission that vehicle had been through!

Keeps the passengers nice and warm.. all the time, though!

Haha! This was going to be mine, but Ultradrive beat it. I'll concur, I know many a used Z28 with a LT1 owner who never changed their plugs because getting to them was a exercise in taking the car apart.

I have one word for you, a word that will live in infamy for anyone who has ever owned, knew someone who owned, or been 100 feet near one:

WD-40 + Water is a heck of a degreaser/cleaner.

Lincoln just can't seem to catch a break. I remember when the Lincoln LS came out, my Dad REALLY wanted my Mom to have one - specifically the LS V8. She was driving - at the time - my Dad's hand-me-down '96 SHO and they really wanted an upgrade. They drove a few of them - from the loaded out V8 with the nice fat…
