I grew up in the neighborhood off exit 60 (just after the tunnel northbound) and for as much as I hate the Merritt, I also love it when it’s empty. Coming out of NYC while the suns coming up is magical, especially after the night you just had.

Nope, dark gray and we live in New England.

My brother in law desperately wanted a Forte GT with a stick. I work in the industry and have a professional relationship with dozens of dealerships, specifically enough KIA dealers to count on two hands. Dealerships who would have worked with him because of that relationship. He lives about 25 minutes away from my…

It’s different for everybody honestly. Most people would say something small and easy to drive but honestly, I had more trouble with those than anything. My dad finally just gave me the keys to his dually square body and said I had no choice but to get to school on my own in that for one week straight. We didn’t live…

See, I had the exact opposite experience. I was having a hard time with an 80’s Accord and my buddies Mazda pickup so my dad threw me the keys to an old dually square body flat bed and told me “get to school for a week on your own and you’ll be able to drive anything.” We aren’t talking a couple miles away, school…

Amen. My favorite time of year is coming and I just dropped an LSD in mine!!

You’re probably correct, but they could make that distinction somewhere in the article. Been in this part of the industry for almost a decade and the “whole pie” is kind of fascinating.

I work for one of the “big boys” now, this article is casually omitting reality.

I came here to say this is a problem they’ve had for decades. Ask me how I know. I was told by a commercial truck guy who was a Ford tech that they knew back in the aughts that their drive lines were shit and they designed the driveshafts as the “weak link” because they were easier to replace than axles. I know, it’s…

As a Reverend of the Church of Panther, I approve this.

They did for years if you wanted a used one.

Remember when you guys got all butt hurt about me joking the Civic looked a little like the CT5?

A ton of commenters brought the pitchforks out when I joked about the Civic looking like a mini CT5, right down to the promo color.

Funny you mention beaten path. My dad and uncle rented one after they flew down to KY to see my brother graduate basic at Ft. Knox in 2001 or 2002. They got lost and made it a few hundred yards up the tank training path before they got stopped by some grunts. He said it rode like a dream all the way up the path, and al…

So I have a Crown Victoria LX Sport. Bought it as a second, just in case car and because I’ve always wanted one. Well I changed jobs so no more company car and my commute is much longer, so the CV is the new daily. Now if fuel costs mean nothing to you and you don’t have to be at work regardless of weather, Panthers…

Suicide Confusion is the shit. 

Listen, I love the Panther a little too much so I’m just ribbin’ ya.

My mother had It’s Lexus equivalent way back when. That thing with the V6 was a rocket ship. Good around a corner too. Definite sleeper back in the day (for street driving).
