I get you. I was half joking. However it is sort of known in that Ford designed the driveshaft as the drive line weak point on their late 2000's commercial trucks. Coupled with a non Ford, but stock, motor (Cummins in my case) that weak driveshaft is woefully not up for the task in certain unavoidable scenarios. When…
Speak of the Deville

Come on man, you gotta get into it. I rib these manual lovers around here all the time. Modern manual transmissions in cars are a cakewalk compared to the stuff I drive and have driven. Right now I’ve got a Ford forestry boom truck with a 5.9 Cummins complete with a Ford issue 6 speed. Wrangle that thing around all…
I always thought they should go back to something with the V instead of the wreath. I mean it’s sitting right there. It’s the damn letter they use to name their performance line. It’s also found on their arguably most famous and bad ass cars from the past.
Yea, not my bag bud. Just relaying what I’m told. Based on my experience, you gotta really love the smell of a burnt clutch to do some serious wheelin’ with a manual. To each his own though. Come on by and sometime and I’ll show you my mini version of crawling getting one of these out and in position sometime. 6…
Hah! tell that to my F-750.
Oh I’m with you. Most of the serious guys and girls I know went auto and never looked back. I don’t do any crawling myself but I have to sneak a RWD F-750 with a ton of weight in the box and a 60' boom over some pretty gnarly terrain more often than I’d like to, and the clutch work and control required is something…
Did that to my Crown Vic last year with the exception of my front turn signals and tail lights (they’re single bulb, dual function.) Haven’t gotten around to getting the resistors and installing them and I haven’t picked out the bulbs but they’re the last step but just what I’ve done is a huge improvement. I did go…
Agreed. Now I do love modern cars, but I also can’t stop buying old shitboxes to poorly modify/have fun with. I had been waiting patiently for a set of aftermarket HID projectors to become affordable for my old Crown Vic and I finally got to install a set in October. I took the time to aim them correctly and have run…
Look at the tint contrast between the door and the new fenders.
Sorta spoilers for the original two Adventure series:
Undeniably NP for this little blue coupe, if a PPI finds only the issues listed and maybe some other minor stuff of course. The clutch makes it a little too expensive overall for someone without the know how and tools to fix it, but for someone handy with the right equipment, this thing is right where it needs to be…
100% this!
A little backstory.
Now playing
I’m just going to leave this here.
You know the fan boys will never stop. They’ll still be complaining about the competitor’s interior materials and gauges while they reload they’re BMW PERKS!! card so they can start the damn thing.
This sounds crazy because even my gut was telling me CP, but this is actually an NP. The numbers do not lie, shes closer to retail but within negotiating range.
