Carmax has vehicles because they’re literally paying more than they’re worth just to have inventory. I sold them my ‘19 Stinger GT2 for more than I paid for it. They sold it a month later for $2k less than they paid me.

The problem with the Prowler wasn’t necessarily a lack of a V8, it was a lack of power. The PowerTech 4.7 sucked and was barely much more power than the 3.5. GM had been bolting Eaton blowers to V6s for ages at that point, Chrysler should have done the same with the 3.5. It was already a bizarre one-off car, may as…
Had this happen at least 3 times over the last 5 years. The U-hauls by me suck, they’re all franchises run by morons who don’t care.

Input your weight and balance and give it a GPS signal and if you hit the Emergency button, it will calculate your glide range and is terrain aware enough to try and guide you back to a runway or a more…
I would also trust a first year Honda over a first year Ford any day of the week. Ford, GM, Dodge, whoever - let them sort it out a couple of years and then buy.
I had multiple 80s cars with digital dashes that had a “speedometer” graph that ended at 85..... yet also had a 3 digit readout that didn’t care at all and went as high/fast as the car would go.
I’ve done it twice in my Altima SE-R over the years. Once was trying to downshift from 5-4 and I got a little too happy and yanked it down into 2nd. I had to be going at least 80 and how that transmission and engine didn’t fly into many tiny bits and pieces is beyond me. The noise was incredible, like a sewing machine…
