Depending on what happens with the demand, you may see days supply of new cars on lots go down wouldn’t you? No new cars are being produced or shipped right now, so essentially there is a finite amount of new cars available for retail. At some point the demand will outstrip supply depending on how long this lockdown…

I had a 99 XLT with leather. These are good trucks, but you want to make sure you check out the radiator closely or just outright replace it if it’s original. They had endcaps made of plastic that were prone to sudden cracking leaving you with a pricey head repair when the coolant spews.

I like it a lot! Certainly better looking than the EcoSport. If this is only slightly larger than the EcoSport and smaller than the Escape, it’ll be a hit. The separate opening glass is a nice touch that’s been missing from the Escape lineup since 2012. Small thing, but it is welcome. 

Ford’s EcoBoost sales beg to differ.

The whole Tesla Model E/3 Ford Trademark fight makes more sense now. This car was probably in development when Tesla was announcing the Model 3.

The current chassis is well documented to be a great driver’s car, so I believe it will handle quite well. Surely better than the 15 year old Challenger platform.

Having driven the previous gen GT500 and the Current GT350, the GT350 is far more of a driver’s car. The OBS GT500 was a handful that was not helped at all by the narrow tires. The GT350 feels downright pedestrian at regular speeds/rpms, but rewards with high RPM power. 305/295 R/F PSS tires help it feel planted, and…

Having done many of these repairs myself on my E30, it’s fun watching you work through this car. I applaud your effort on the body work, luckily I haven’t had to do anything like that to mine, as it’s been a west coast car it’s whole life. 

I’ve owned a Z4 for about 3.5 years, the ideal temperature for a 2 seat convertible is between 50°F and 80°F. Seat heaters are essential, as is a good heating system. The top is down on my car 85% of the time I drive it, it’s only up if its raining.

Long story short had coolant getting into the oil with no headgasket symptoms. Remove and replace the HG, surface the head and pressure test, passed. Put everything back together, same problem. Turns out the head was cracked internally to one of the oil passages. Replaced the head and problem gone.

Yeah, the M42 used metal lined plastic guides, they ended up replacing them with an all plastic composite design later, They hold up much better than the metal lined ones. Check out my 230k mile metal lined timing chain guides:

What’s impressive is that Ford’s Raptor returned the same mileage as your 5.3 that has 130 lb/ft less torque and 95 less horsepower than the 3.5L in the Raptor. That’s before we talk about the benefits of turbocharging at altitude.

I assure you, your F-150 does not weigh 7350 lbs. That’s the GVWR. Your truck weighs about 5500-5600lbs. Subtract your payload (yellow sticker) from the GVWR and you get your exact as-built curb weight.

The manufacturers decided years ago to average out the costs of transport. It makes it more fair to consumers further away. 

The Voodoo engine isn’t in the GT500. That would be the Predator. The Voodoo is in the GT350, and would be a terrible choice for a truck, FPC are not torquey. Ninja edit: I see you’ve been notified.

Some of that is perceived reliability. The MKZ Hybrid’s powertrain is essentially the same design as the Prius, and as such has proven to be a very reliable powertrain.

E30 M3, but with one of the turbo 4s BMW make now.

The last car in the US with a tape deck was the 2010 Lexus SC430. Seems apropos, actually. 

Yeah, those are just the North American Engines.
