Fuck this “the American people failed for not trying out GM” noise. It’s a producer’s job to get people to buy their shit. It’s not the customer’s obligation to risk a significant portion of their income on something they haven’t been convinced is worth their mm money.

lol

Except VTEC didn’t have any “tach weirdness”. I trust Chevy to make fantastic pushrod motors and Honda to make fantastic OHC motors with multiple cam profiles, but not the other way around.

Most people buy trucks for space BEHIND the cab, not in front of it.

I don’t know, my 5.3 Sierra never did better than 15 MPG on the highway. Everyone I know with 2.7L F150s can get between 18-22 MPG real world.

It’s not a scam. Fleet customers have a portal which tracks fuel economy, among other things. If these fleets weren’t seeing real-world fuel economy improvements, then they wouldn’t continue to buy them.

You absolutely can get good milage and good horsepower. You just can’t get them at the same time.

So you think they looked at the house next door, saw people trapped but left them there to save the Mustang?   You realize these burning homes are in an evacuation zone and the residents are gone, don’t you?  You realize their job is to put out fires and one is burning just down from them?  You realize a car with gas…

The issue is people just gotta bitch.

And, how many of those 9 people died at the minute that photo was taken, close enough to that spot get there on foot? 

HAZMAT and fire threat. The petroleum products of a car burn more intensely than wood and create worse fumes and vapors.

Yeah I think it's safe to assume they weren't making a choice between a car and a person at the time. Also, being generous, it probably took them about 90 seconds to push the car out... 

These people triage. They wouldn’t be pushing a car out of a garage if they could be saving someone’s life instead.

I have to disagree in this scenario. The Mustang is a piece of American history. If that was a photo of a brand new Lamborghini being saved most of us would say “why?". They burn themselves to the ground all the time anyway.

If THE plot twist occurs and it releases as a Cadillac, it’ll be $170K.

Haha I read all the follow up responses as well. I’m a pretty good shoe, race Spec E30 competitively and such so I don’t think my driving is the issue. I’ve driven all years of 911s and absolutely adore the older ones, particularly the early long nose cars. Maybe it’s bit of an insecurity... I don’t know. To me, it…

It honestly reads like he is worried what other people might think of him. Insecure much??

That perception was shattered for me a few years ago when the resort I work at hosted the Porsche Parade, the big, nation wide meet for the PCA.

I’m curious why you wouldn’t be caught dead in one?

I think a lot of people have had this revelation at some point. I loved 911s as a kid, but had lost interest by the time I got to college. You saw them everywhere, they had been around forever, they didn’t look that exciting...etc, etc.
