I was driving an 06 F150 FX4 at the time. I was really tired of the auto trans and wanted something manual. I found a 07 V70R with 100k miles on Kijiji/craigslist that was nearby so I decided to take a look at it. The next day my truck was up for sale and I was calling the seller to let him know I wanted the wagon…

Convince her with the whole “Volvo safety” argument. If you have young kids, find one with the rear booster seats and the 3rd row rear facing seat. The term “just a Volvo wagon” helps. Make sure to leave out the 300hp, the 6 speed manual, I guess you can include the 13” 4 pison Brembo’s on all 4 corners cause big…

“There’s the Audi S4, the S6, the S8. There’s the Volvo S60R, the Lexus IS-F, the Subaru WRX, and the Honda Civic Si.”

Competitive karting is also a great way to understand what racing is like. I’m not even talking about pricey rotax set-ups. Just a briggs or honda 4-stroke is more than enough to get one’s feet wet.

Because soooo much damage can result in 1 year...? I don’t think this guy ships his car to the mainland for service...

Now if they do this (like in my V70R) then I will be very happy!

Wait for it.......

Anyone else notice the signaling this biker did? Seriously, every lane change and turn was signaled properly. Certain brand automobile drivers, especially in NA could really learn from this video. If this guy can do it, what excuse does anyone have not to?

Okay...

Oh I read your comment. You can’t just package a V8 in the same space a V6 TT was designed to go. And if you design a V8 in the car in the first place, you’re going to have a bunch of waisted space in the race car when you put the V6TT in. It’s that space that is very important to aero design. It’s that space that…

You did hear that whole part in the vid about the engine choice being made to conform to the aero requirements right? Aerodynamics are huge for race cars in case you didn’t know. Ford could care less about some V8 junkie frowning at a TT V6 when they can reduce significant drag while generating downforce by using it.…

Exactly what I do as well!

While I’m not sure about the NA mill, I now these guys had epic water pump and fuel pump issues in Turbo form. Most owners loved to drive these things “while they weren’t in the shop” but were very disappointed with the overall reliability. I’m CP on this for that price and miles. You can get one of those up here in…

MS3’s and MS6’s MZR’s are known for throwing rods due to inadequate oiling issues. Take a look for MS3’s or MS6’s with blown mills. I bet you find a bunch. Not to mention replacement mills, even scrap yard versions demand $2.5-4K. I would go with this or the Cobalt SS turbo long before a MZR equiped vehicle based on…

Yes! If they bring the current 3.2 diesel with it. Actually, even if they don’t do that I’d buy it. So long as they bring this over (see image) I’ll be happy. IDK about it being 7/8th the size or price. I’d like to drive a new manual 4x4 ford truck again...

This is why I always buy used loaded vehicles. Like you said, the difference in price is almost negligible when compared to the overall cost of a used vehicle. One’s crazy to get all that stuff new.

Do Miss....
