Is this an upside down Fiero in the video? I see Pontiac wheels.

If Monogram is accurate, perhaps it is:

Owning an enthusiast car is rarely about how reliable or objectively good it is.

Clarkson called it the X-factor and it’s a bit different for all of us.

That’s cool, but I like this boat-truck-jet-car thing that Ford called the Ranger II in 1966.

I have no idea what your tastes are or what you’re looking for but that isn’t even close to what the show is about.

It’s way less scripted than Top Gear / Grand Tour ever was / is.

It’s also hosted by people who actually work on their own stuff. If you don’t enjoy wrenching on your own stuff you probably won’t like the…

Comedians Walking After Car Breaks Down, Getting Coffee

They already made this show: Roadkill

Here’s what annoyed me about the series:

1) Overt Pontification

The cars were often quite interesting and sometimes even rare.

But the problem is that each video read kind of like going to your high school reunion and your old best friend, Jerry Seinfeld, shows up in a 911 Turbo.

He offers you a ride, but keep in mind,…

I drove a Cavaliar in driver’s ed and couldn’t disagree more.

J-body seats are rock hard and, on top of that, they had few adjustments - so it was impossible to find a comfortable driving position.

To make matters worse, these tin cans are so small it’s hard to even fit your foot in the pedal box.

The thrashy Ecotecs…

This incident reminds me of when Piston Republic’s editor-in-chief posted about a similar scenario of someone coming at him, head-on, around a blind curve while someone was passing an SUV with a boat.

There’s a video at the link. He luckily…

Yep. I remember FordTempoFan.

As a fellow Wisconsinite (like Long Voyager), I can tell you there are a ton of Chrysler / AMC / Jeep worshippers in Wisconsin - especially in the Kenosha / Racine area because there was once a plant there.

I can understand there are some really cool cars that those brands made - classic Hemis and capable and rugged…

Gently used Mustang convertible seems like the obvious choice for a Ford guy so I don’t even know why he wrote in.

BMWs are going to be fun for a while - but you’d probably be better off leasing unless you want an expensive nightmare when they fall out of warranty.

Mustangs are the convertible king for a reason:…

There are tons of people who hate SYNC, but I love it.

Keep in mind that people in general love to crap on Microsoft. (Me included sometimes ... I type this on a Mac.)

I often hate Windows products, but I have no complaints about SYNC.

Sounds about right.  Sometimes it seems like the cure is worse than the problem itself.

Exactly. I outsource alignments all day, too ... not like it would ever make sense to buy laser alignment equipment.

I get the same glazed over blah blah blah thing when I take my car in.

To give you an idea of my mechanical inclination .. I’ve installed coilovers in my Mustang and I am currently working on an IRS swap. I don’t do everything on my own cars, but I do most things. (I typically don’t touch my wife’s VW though ... VW’s…

Is there a wood chipper PTO option?

Yep. I have a 220k 2010 Ford Fusion with a 6F35.  Great car ... I’ve mostly done regularly scheduled maintenance. 

The Focus, outside of the terrible automatic and cramped rear seat, was a good car.

But Ford made its bed.

Agreed.

I own a 99 GT and the V6 owners are the typically the worst.

Definitely the most likely to buy tacky aftermarket garbage from AutoZone - or put Cobra badges on a V6 and then seek approval from their V8 Mustang brethren.

I have no idea how or whether this translates to the first generation of car owners, but…

I like my 2010 Fusion interior.  It’s held up well over 220k.  Mostly soft-touch surfaces everywhere too.  Except a few parts of the door.

I’m a Mustang guy, but this is crack pipe 100%.
