JetBlue also does a version of the amenity kit for redeye flights. I recently did SJC>JFK and every seat had ear plugs and eye masks waiting for us. They also made a point to not make in-flight announcements, which was much appreciated by light sleepers like myself.

I would love to see some baller who thought RWB was cool bring in their over-fendered monster in to have Singer strip it all down and do a proper transformation.

Perhaps a little typo here: “And any racer, any real racer;”

Small nitpick: it’s 1,500 cars for the North American market. 1,000 of these bad, very bad German-made American cars are destined for the US, while the other 500 are going to our commie neighbors to the North.

Put drift mode in a Focus RS: “This is just a publicity stunt for hooning”

I now understand why I had to take my 2015 ST in for a recall notice relating to the rear hatch release button.

I thought even though AB In-Bev owns Grupo Modelo, in the US Corona is under the Constellation umbrella?

I had a plastics and composites professor in college who did some consulting for them back in the day. He said the factory that he went to was making bumper covers and only 60% of the ones that came off the production line were actually usable.

These are some of the best OEM wheels I’ve seen Ford put on a compact. I love the cross between a bent Y-spoke and a split 5-spoke. Almost makes up for the fact that they’re sticking with the horribly aftermarket-proof 4x108 bolt pattern.

This image is better than all of the ones in the article.

When I bought my 2015 Focus ST, one of the reasons for the low advertised price was a $750 discount for paying cash that I missed out on since I had to finance. Any chance these dealers are using the same tactic? FWIW, I still got an ST3 for ~$3 below MSRP, so I wasn’t that bummed about it.

I don’t know what the public transportation is like in Milwaukee, but if his parents are anything like mine, the car might be a gift, but the gas and upkeep might require him to get a job, which could very well be something he has to drive to.

Just a little bit of HVAC perspective on the whole “noisy blower” situation. Most of the noise you hear is the sound of actual air whooshing out of the vents. Fan noise usually manifests itself in a hum or rumble sound. Velocity is velocity, so no matter how quiet your fan is, you’re going to hear the “whoosh.” You…

I went to an all-Ford show one time, and it was hard to find a Mustang that wasn’t supercharged. The shop hosting the show was raffling off supercharger kits for basically all model years. Seems they’re fine with boost, as long as it’s good ol’ fashioned American blower boost.

Have you encountered those longevity issues with cars running COBB tunes? As I understand it, they are one of the most respected names in the turbo tuning world. Even a big chunk of the other shops use COBB hardware and software to do their tuning.

Seriously. How can anyone hate the Sally Porsche headlights?
