Will also recommend a niner RLT. I’ve got a steel one. It’s great.

not worth it. You’re buying a new fork (steel, they don’t really make 1 inch carbon disc forks), wheel, and brake.

Because the 30 year old bike is better than a new 200$ bike from target.

As a former bike mechanic I find this all hilarious. With a decent set of pads those Cantis can be set up to have good power. Mini-Vs are nice but due to their mininess they need to be adjusted often.

Ugh, They didn’t seem to have a problem rebaging a BMW 7-Series as the ghost. Although the ghost wasn’t as ugly.

The VWs are butt ugly.

Yeah, Ken Miles was British enough for that movie, do americans really want to make a two hour movie about how they smashed them dam europeans with a British Lola MK.6, developed and driven by non-americans?

Because pre-drift crazy you could buy a needy one for $500. Now anything that isn’t totally trashed is $5,000+ and all seem to have “This is me beginning to test the waters of maybe selling my total shit pile of a car that i have neither the skill or determination to fix but since I payed wayy to much I need to find a…

Although I do like a wedge, they are rather notorious for creating lift at high speeds. the TR-7/8 produced something like 700lbs of lift at 120mph, they even with aero mods and a massive wing they still had some lift when they went racing.

I like the Roxor but the Price is crazy. I could get a base Wangler for what you’d pay for a Roxor with a cab/doors/heater.

as i said below i was painting with a bit of a broad brush, like with the ford cyclone engine the FWD derivatives seem to be worse than the RWD versions and quite a few of the problems could be remedied by ignoring GMs much to long service intervals but plenty of people up here are having timing chain issues. 

I agree I was painting with a bit of a broad brush. But yes, the PCV and timing chains on the LLT and LY7 and maybe more are junk.

Except that the GM high-feature V6 is yet another steaming heap of GM junk. Wither either the mustang or the camaro I’ll take the 4 banger or the V8 at least with the 4s you can turn the boost up.

no. I will say 1000mm

Grmn is FWD. 

Your pricing isn’t realistic. It’s going to cost more than 20-25K The price range you describe is barely above Sonic RS / Fiesta ST pricing. Anything with AWD is going be in the same price range as the WRX  

Dude, some people have money, some people don’t I’m in the latter camp. But I don’t get upset at those that do. Besides when he said “I paid for them” he really meant “my family paid for them” which is fine

Because the LX platform is 15 years old people want their sports car to be sportier than that Chrysler 300 they rented from Avis 11 years ago. 

how about a used Volvo V50. Same platform an as escape/focus but with better bits and you could get AWD, 6 speed stick. and a nice 228hp 5-cylinder engine.

That's what the escape is. And since a 4wd focus would cost almost as much as an escape ford is betting not enough people would buy one.
