IIRC, the wing mounted into the stake pockets on the bed side, so it was fairly easy to remove.

Please, please tell me you had the Ferrari loaded on U-haul car trailer behind the truck.

I am neither old or from New England! ;)

I HAVE a '94 Accord with the elusive anti-theft device....a third pedal.

Unfortunately, it gets even more complicated than that! After going through the process of turbocharging and supercharging this engine, Volvo decided to mate it to a plug-in hybrid drivetrain. So the new XC90 "T8" uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged supercharged plug-in hybrid 4-cylinder that makes an almost insane 400…

I have a few friends who own old Volvos. Of course, what I really mean by this is: I have a few friends who are constantly asking me for rides home from the local Swedish car repair place.

You can get a stick with the 1.6L Ecoboost in the Fusion. Finding one on the other hand...

Well, this is sure a damn shame. I will have to tell my toddler today he's no longer allowed to help me work on the cars in the garage since they're just too modern.

What I never understood was limiting exterior colors based on the transmission. "You can have any color in the rainbow with your new car. Oh, you want a manual? You get black, silver, or gray."

While that may be entirely true, go to your local dealer and see how many of the 'base selection' transmissions they have on the lot. We went to 6 Ford dealers and never found a Fusion with the 'base' manual. It took a couple Mazda dealers, Honda dealers, and even VW dealers to find available cars with the manual.

Hmmm...looks just like the one at the Porsche museum...errr I mean super-ultra-secret-verboten-warehouse.

"It is in the nature of an ever-changing work like Wikipedia that, while some articles are of the highest quality of scholarship, others are admittedly complete rubbish. We are fully aware of what it is and what it isn't. Also, because some articles may contain errors, please do not use Wikipedia to make critical…

As someone who drives stick in Chicago, I say manual! I hate being stuck in traffic too, but driving stick has never bothered me. Usually, I just put it in first or second and let it creep. Stop-and-go traffic for miles on end does suck in a manual, but it also sucks in an auto with the car constantly creeping…

You do realize Wikipedia is an open-source web-based encyclopedia that anyone may alter and, therefore, is not a credible, trustworthy, and, most importantly, citable source, right?

Nope. I'm with you on that. It doesn't phase me at all.

There can be a fart in manual cars when you shift too!

I lived in Chicago for 3 years and daily drove (read: commuted) a manual through all of it. It never bothered me one bit. I still drive through Chicago about twice a week for work, and it still doesn't phase me. I prefer it at this point.

I was thinking the same thing. It's tremendous progress and a great feat that Ford is able to make a truck with so much aluminum. However, it's basically celebrating going from obese to just overweight.

I know the 6th gen Accords and a lot of Odysseys are prone to transmission issues. I just hate the blanket statements, "X part on one model is bad, therefore all cars from that manufacturer are terrible." I'm nearing the point of needing to replace my clutch on my Accord as well.

ummm....I'm nearing 300k on my totally stock manual trans (including clutch) on my '94 Accord with no work performed on it other than changing clutch master and slave cylinders. I would consider that pretty damn reliable.
