Sooooo three years until they 392 or Hellcat this thing?

I do have a slight objection to this. At least where I got beefs (beeves?) at on the north side, you had the option of hot or sweet peppers, as well as mild or hot giar. I’m not saying you’re incorrect, I’ve just experienced it differently.

This guy reminds me of my coworker whom was supposed to train me when I started my new job. Instead of showing me the ropes of how some things work around here, he would constantly say, “You’re the engineer; figure it out yourself.”

The list of cars in GT4 was borderline excessive. Mid 90's Taurus SHO (bubble Taurus), Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie... Besides the other gripes mentioned here, I HATED the tire physics. There was one specific race where it was all Ford GT LMs and your tires wore down by the last lap every time. It was so frustrating.

A well deserved #10 ranking.

Obligatory mention that my plant manager had to turn his brand new Raptor in because it wouldn’t fit in his condo’s garage length and height-wise.

My first car was an ‘87 Fleetwood Brougham. Me and my high school buddies could fit 4 wide in both rows of seats. Stupid idea? Oh heck yeah. But it was so big, I only could park it in the back of the high school parking lot because I couldn’t maneuver through the tight aisles. Sure the radio and cassette player didn’t…

There’s a guy who rallycrosses a manual Crosstrek. That thing eats the road up so well.

Technically not automotive brand...but I will buy solely Ridgid tools. Are there better performing ones? Probably, but it hits the sweet spot of reliable and affordable. And that lifetime warranty* is so nice to have

Publix mug from 2015. Bought one on spring break in Daytona to carry my beverages. Fun fact, it can hold an entire fifth of alcohol.

Gen II SHO slicers on Pirelli P7s for the warm

Great write up! I have a very simple logitech set up on a PVC frame I built from scratch. $25 worth of pvc, $16 Ford Fiesta seat from the junkyard, and about $15 worth of hardware to hold it all together. (open box logitech on eBay was $150!!)

Chuckling at all of the hate spewing on this article. 126 miles is adequate for most commercial use. Sure, there are applications that the van cannot provide. But you think Ford didn’t research this thoroughly? I’m sure their top priority was to keep the price as close to the ICE variant. I love how everything carries…

Why not both?

I’ll pretend to be a Formula 1 podium finisher whenever I complete mundane tasks around the house.

THIS. I too am in the industry David left. To put it blunt, I work with a bunch of nerds. That’s no insult, engineers need to be nerds. I’m just a nerd that loves cars. Between them and my core group of friends, I didn’t know many people with as much or more passion for all doors sliding. The fiancé, bless her soul,…

95k miles in that 3.5 means it’s due for a timing belt. That over a grand right there unless you can do it yourself. That’s what turns me off about this. Otherwise I would rallycross the heck out of this.

In addition to the oil leaks and sludge. The timing belt is a headache to do. Suppose to be done at 100k miles, and my mechanics estimate was $1300. I held off getting mine done in my ‘05 300 due to lack of budget, and ended up seizing the engine at 112,000. Also the control arms and tension struts last a year or so…

I did one of those insurance monitors when I drove a rusted out ‘96 Ram Van. It literally could not accelerate or brake aggressively no matter how hard I mashed the pedal. So it was a guarantee savings on my already low insurance rate (vehicle was worth $300, so no point in racking up a high premium).

I probably won’t buy branded clothing, but I will almost always buy a shirt or hat with a van on it.
