We recently bought a used 2011 TL SH-AWD with a six speed manual for my wife and it’s a ton of fun. It might be due to the combination of extra ponies from the 3.7L and the AWD or from just not knowing any better because of my lack of experience with exotics. Either way, we’re having a great time with it. It’s also…
I have a Jeep and the one thing I’m worried about here in St. Louis is when I latch the top to the header, one of these times it’s going to tear something.
I have a ‘15 Wrangler Unlimited with 25K. I know it’s only two years old, but I have had zero problems with it. That being said, Jeep needs to price it 2-3K less than their target competitors. Like Kia did in the early 2000s.
IMO, an F-150 hybrid with a generator? I’m all in, manual or not. A Mustang hybrid? I’m a purist when it comes to all pony cars whichever manufacturer produces them: V8 & manual transmission. If I could get a Mustang hybrid with a stick-maybe, but probably not. Personally, I’m in my 40s with a wife and 2.4 kids, so…
I got a pair of Rugged Ridge A post LED lights with mounts for my Jeep.
I thought the Probe was better looking than the MX-6. Who doesn’t like pop-up headlights and can it be argued that the stock 5-spoke wheels (not these, but the rims from the first year of this 2nd gen Probe) on the Probe GT of the time we’re the best-looking of all wheels on cars of this price range?
I wish they would have engineered the motor mounts a little better.
I agree on the 6 vs. 5 speed to an extent. My Wrangler Unlimited is a PITA because it lacks torque, so I constantly have to downshift and the ridiculously long truck-like throws from gear to gear really get old, so a 5 speed would be a better choice. But my wife’s TL SH-AWD has torque for days so 2nd & 3rd gear in…
I bought my son a 2003 Acura CL Type-S with a 6 speed manual. It’s basically a 2 door TL and it’s also a lot of fun.
My wife has a 2011 TL SH-AWD with the tech and high performance tire packages and.... wait for it.... a 6-speed manual transmission! Most fun I’ve had driving a car since an RX7 I had in the early 2000s. Highly recommended. Every time I take it to the dealer, the techs drool all over it. Super fun car.
We have the same Amtrak train here in the Midwest. Ours is called The Texas Eagle. Our dome car is strictly a lounge car with a snack bar on the 1st floor and a few tables and loungers on the top floor. Most car aficionados can certainly appreciate trains and everyone should at least take a short day trip and enjoy…
I’m with C62030. What’s wrong with the decades old hand operated parking brake? The one in my 2015 Wrangler works just fine just like the ones in nearly car I’ve ever owned have. These car companies today are just creating problems by coming up with solutions to problems that don’t exist (mic drop).
Has anyone mentioned the 1970s show Vega$? Robert Urich played a PI named Dan Tanna who drove a red ‘57 T-Bird. He parked that car in his “garage” which doubled as his living room. I remember thinking how cool that was.
Concerning the A/C, The CL ad says, “factory brackets and parts included”, so best case scenario, replace the drier and whatever else is required with an R134A conversion and chill out. Trucks of this vintage with no rust and their originality intact are disappearing fast, NP all day long. Find some late-70s era…
This one of mine reminds me of photo that would be in a Jeep brochure and in the lower right corner it would read, “Wrangler Unlimited Sahara shown in Billet Silver. Some equipment shown is extra.”
We are living in an age of overabundant horsepower for cheap prices. I remember these cars. My aunt had a 626 GT in ‘91. I don’t remember how many horses it had, but I recall it being very fast. It’s relative. While this 626 GT “only” has 120 hp, a 626 LX probably only had 90. 120 is approaching what a Mustang GT or…
I’m a firefighter/paramedic and myself and my brother firemen extinguished a VERY involved Chevy Cruze fire.
What? The media got something wrong? (¿¿¿)
Exactly!!!
Most states have “good samaritan laws” that protect bystanders from litigation.
