I second the Ford based Land Rovers, though I would only count the 4.4L cars, not the 4.2L. My LR3 has 192,000 and going strong. The thing is bulletproof. Don’t buy a pre-2006 LR or Post 2010. 2007-2009 are the years to get for the full size, the sport, and the LR3. Also skip the supercharged versions.

My hardest time was trying to sell my old Mustang when I was 1000 miles away from it’s location. My car was back in Wisconsin, My permanent address was Boston, but I was in Huston the week the person wanted to see the car. This obviously setup a very suspicious situation for the buyer. I had already signed my title

I understand Chrysler, but you are going to have to explain yourself on Dodge. The Challenger and Charger are still selling like crazy. I’m sure they are working on a new generation but what would be the point in releasing it while sales are still sky high on the old platform?

DT worshiping his “holy grails”:

As for great letters. My vote is for “SVO”. Ford and Land Rover both used these for some sweet hopped up version of their cars.

I’m all for electric cars, but I think we can all agree the “i” and “e” model names for electrics are dumb and boring. We get it. It’s electric. But that doesn’t mean you need to name it like we’re at an Apple store. i-Pace, Mach-e, etron, i8, Wrangler 4xe. Jesus it is like they let 8yr olds name these cars.

You’re in the minority. This new truck looks awesome. 

Who the F is watching shows like this? Is it only people without cable or internet?

Yeah. Not surprising. They really lost their way. And I LOVE my LR3. I would say JLRs modern heyday was 2008-2012. They had such great cars then. The LR3&LR4 are awesome. The L320 Range Rover Sport was awesome and the L322 Range Rover where rich guy staples. On the Jag size they had the supercharged XFR which IMO

Rapid Blue is the best blue. Photos don’t do it justice

Not sure why you added Days of Thunder into that list. I’ve been watching NASCAR since the 80's and most of the actual racing and technical aspects of Day’s were very accurate thanks to Hendrick.

Talladega nights was never meant to be accurate and I think that I why I can still enjoy it as a nascar fan. It was never

I think Ford’s is the only one that at this point shouldn’t be messed with in any major way. It’s pretty much unchanged since 1927. IMO it should stay that way however boring it is.

The mustang Mach-E is awesome in every way except for that Godaweful name. Using mustang was stupid. “Mach-E” just sounds dumb to say. Mockey? It sounds like some type of fish.

IMO. If they wanted to cash in on some heritage and name recognition without defecating on the Mustang name they could have easily used Probe.

I think it is perfectly fair. Many cars were effectively ruined in the US by that regulation. Surf board bumps on the SL are ugly as sin and any owner who hasn’t pitched them in favor of the correct bumpers is a fool.

There are a TON right around 1973-1974 ruined by the 5mph bumper regulation. The worst offender IMO is the Mercedes R107. It’s 2ft longer after refresh!

529 Plans. Tell all your brothers, sisters, parents that the only gift they should get your kid is a contribution to their 529. They’ll have plenty of stuff. They don’t need more stuff. They need early contributions and a reasonable rate or return on their future.

A bag or two of gravel in the trunk. Helps with traction for RWD or AWD. and in case you get really stuck, you can split open the bag and scatter rocks under your tires.
