That would be my anecdotal experience, the fox was a Gen-X phenomena and on that count, I see a lot of Gen-Z consider the SN95/New Edge to be the ugliest Mustang ever. So, I guess Gen-Alpha or whatever they are called will likely consider the S550 the ugly duckling of the bunch and/or maybe the S-197 since it is in a…

Ford is probably banking on the Mustang being the only “affordable” V8 coupe on the market with the Camaro and Challenger exiting plus the Camaro was the undisputed affordable V8 coupe and nobody bought it except dyed in the wool Camaro fans (which GM kinda made the car for at the expense of everyone else). That…

This, you can sell an old man a young man’s car, but you can’t sell a young man an old man’s car. 

You are the generation coming into your prime earning years. Boomers are either entering the fixed income years or dying off and Gen-X never really mattered plus they don’t have the generational wealth to really count either (I’m a Gen-X that managed to retire with a decent amount of disposable income and I’m a…

Naw, I worked on thousands of early to mid ‘80s crap boxes from all makes. The durability argument has merit, but ergonomics really weren’t that special. Japanese cars were having their Tesla moment in the ‘80s and ‘90s like how people gush over Tesla now and all you hear is how they are the most advanced, highest…

sure, just look at Le Mans where all you have to do is pass a physical and go fast enough they don’t consider you a danger to the rest of the field and a person is considered a racecar driver. The range in skill and age is pretty damn amazing, especially when you consider it all comes down to money. 

Yeah, it’s going to be hard to beat EVs and AWD when there is such granular control over the system along with the way EVs make power. I don’t have a dog in the fight so it’s always funny seeing dyed in the wool brodozer guys mouthing off about how EVs don’t belong off-road when they are really going to be the…

To be fair, service writers at >insert brand here< say the same thing. As the saying goes "If I had a nickle for everytime >insert event here< I would be a millionaire" definitely holds true. Especially when said service writer is a fan of a different marque. 

I doubt it was so much as “realize” as it was “well fuck, this is going to screw up the schedule”.

Man, I remember being stuck in a box on the tarmac for a few hours in Vegas with temps just over 100. Normally I can't nap or sleep when it gets close to or over 80 but jet-lag helped. It was a miserable experience though and one of the reasons I'm not a fan of adult Disney land (also helps I like to gamble in the…

It has to do with the myth of the “largest investment” of their life. Never mind all the taxes, interest and maintenance a person pays over the life of a loan and whether something goes down like the municipality putting a dump in next door (happened in a neighborhood I grew up that thankfully my folks just rented the…

Lol, that’s never been my luck when being late to a connecting flight due to unforseen problems like getting bumped on the flight line for some reason. I’d get in, disembark and literally have to run as fast as long as I could to the next gate and get a earful of “tough shit bucko we got a schedule to keep”.

Meh... definitely seems like commodity pricing all around when cost averaging should be the rule of the day. 

As I recall reading that didn’t really solve much and lead to a lot of finger pointing, and vendettas being settled plus things didn’t go smoothly for a while since people were figuring out how to fill in the vacuum and become the next new rich folks. All it ended up doing was replacing one set of assholes with…

“The richest 1% of the world population pollutes more than the poorest 50%. They are condemning us to a future of pain, misery and desolation. They are destroying our planet, compromising the habitability of the land and everything, to lead a standard of living that goes beyond the limits of reason.”

Reminds me of something my dad used to say, “locks are only for honest people”.

Kids are literally dumb as fuck well past the age of majority since brains are still developing until age 25 so they are piss poor at risk assessment. Also, not coincidently the reason why we like to get them into boot camp right out of high school and grind them up in wars since they lack that capacity.

The PP1 GT was more or less the export GT and IMO made the standard GT redundant. Maybe a cynical attempt on Ford’s part to squeeze more money from domestic buyers but I know when I bought my 2015 GT PP1, I found it too be a little too softcore. Granted, my daily now is a GT350 and that’s spoiled me as far as what is…

Sadly, it appears there won’t be any Dark Horse Mustangs in the mix which of course ignores the elephants in the room and how it compares to the Mach 1 handling pack and the GT350. Still, I suppose that begs the question of how well will the GT stack up compared to the standard Mach 1 which I think should be at least…

At the same time the dealer is only going to order what they think will sell. Also since the Mustang is a rental car sweetheart there is that and of course autotragics produce better CAFE numbers so there are a few compelling reasons for Ford to tell buyers what they really want is an autotragic Ecoboost Mustang and…
