How is this any different than holding the e-brake in a car before getting it in gear? I feel like holding the front brake on an incline on a motorcycle puts new riders at a pretty ugly risk of giving it too much gas and losing the front of the bike.

Except this thing is just as at home on a camping excursion as it is in an Ann Arbor parking lot. In other words, this speaks to the loads of folks who use their RV for tailgating.

Pllleeeeeassse cause more deprecation among used models. *Crosses fingers*

Here’s a base with Performance Pack, before negotiating, for $30. It’s new, but a ‘15. http://royaloakford.com/New-2015-Ford-…

I’m shopping them right now. At least in Cleveland, paying cash, you can talk a “loaded” PP Premium down to $35 from the right dealership. Admittedly, my definition of loaded isn’t a convertible, doesn’t have Recaros, and doesn’t have the upgraded stereo, garage door opener, or memory seats, just because I don’t want…

You can get into a loaded Mustang GT for $35k

A track day ad mid-Ohio, or something along those lines, is a whole lot different than a public day at the ‘Ring.

Let’s play a game. It’s called, “How many V6 Mustangs does this rear diffuser cost?”

I would do things that I’m not proud of for these seats

Things would be highly improved without these painted A/C trim rings that they stole out of some 16-year-old’s Dodge Neon.

Awesome. Really intrigued to hear about your experience with BaT and to see how a RHD car does on the site. I’m optimistic about both.

Can we stop saying that “we’re not supposed to see something” that the manufacturer is deliberately parading through public streets?

Oooo! Oooo! I know this one! Hairdresser:

Hahaha because what the BRZ needs is a few less horsepower.

The reason this is important, in my opinion, is because Ford is pretty good about providing all of their Ford Racing equipment for sale on an individual basis as well. The steering wheel out of the new GT350 was listed for just $165 for example, and bolted right in on standard models. So, racers who can’t afford the…

Ford has just outdone Porsche. Porsche charges you extra to remove equipment. But now, Ford will actually remove equipment and put old, outdated equipment in its place!

Hahahaha I responded to this comment thinking that it was on a completely different thread. I’m sure that was fun for you to read, though. I agree that the sound with UELs is sexy, I was just pointing out the flaw.

That’s fair. Acura has an identity, I suppose, just not one that resonates very well with enthusiasts these days. Still, there’s no question that Lexus, BMW, Mercedes, and Audi all have a stronger identity than Infiniti or Acura, and especially Lincoln...and here we are. Those first ones are the biggest players.

The same thing that makes most brands fail. Lack of identity. Lincoln and Acura feel lost right now. No one knows exactly who they are or who they want to be, and that doesn’t resonate with consumers. BMW and Mercedes, on the other hand, are unapologetically themselves, and have been for a long time. Same is true for…

Efficiency is often sexy. Boat ramps aren’t sexy. Dealing with the annoyance of launching these things is one of the cool things about them. Instead, give me a flat bed, I’ll park the truck in the ramp parking lot, and just drive the ATVs right into the water. Way cooler than launching them as jet skis, driving the…
