So because we caught them once they certainly haven’t ever tried it after that? And I am sure Israel asks permission before spying on us as well.

What are you doing? Facts and hard numbers have no place in internet debates.

Because pushrods. People hate but they should appreciate.

Correct. The LS6 in the Corvette is much closer to being a “truck” engine. Many shared and interchangeable parts. This it is why it is cheap and reliable.

The drop in the bucket statement doesn’t hold water. Look at Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Egypt, Yemen, and Lybia. All those engagements are costing us tons both in money and political capital. Who knows what future conflicts we will get dragged into. Right, you can only win if you support corporations, war, or welfare.…

I would rather have the money that I worked for rather than give it to a corporation (that gets all sorts of tax breaks and govt contracts), Israel, or our government. It is the American way. Thanks.

More like she takes .25 cents and buys a stick to constantly poke a family of bears and I get mauled. Yeah I am not ok with that. I support the nation of Israel, and they should be able to support themselves now. Same goes for every other nation in the world. Uncle Sam should cut the worlds allowance.

Yes that makes it even worse. You know how much it costs us because we financially support Israel? The foreign policy setbacks are enormous too. And they sell US arms technology to the Chinese. What a friend. We fund their enemies too. Better if we spent that cash on our own military or citizens.

I can't wait for my tax dollars to pay for it!

Sucks for people in DC and other places where you can’t have pistols...I guess they should just make a law that says people should be nice to each other.

Don’t forget all the socialists and mellenials that are rioting currently as they think they are above the law and entitled to everything everyone else has just because they are a citizen.

Funny, that somewhat applies to America now.

“I’m pretty squeamish at the thought of technology that’s designed to help soldiers kill better.” Really? The enemy wouldn’t hesitate. The purpose of an army in a democracy is to save lives by taking some if left with no other choice. Think of it that way and you can be ok with it. Paper maps are cheap, easily…

Oh I know all about the dual clutch buck. I usually drive it aggressively but just because I plan on getting rid of it at 100k haha. The manual mode is like putting a drunk midget in the trans to shift for you. I already had the seal done and clutches under warranty. I watched the procedure online on how to service…

Got my 2013 Focus from a rental place too. Great deal and had leather and sunroof option for some reason. There is something about the steering feel that makes me want to throw it around too. Pretty peppy even coming from a 2000 Accord 4 cylinder.

I got my wife a 2013 auto and the transmission is not so good (terrible). I love everything else about it (except sync). Looking at STs for a while but can’t really justify getting one. Is it even comparable? If is even half as fun as the ST I may get one. Or maybe I should test drive the Mazda 3.

The gauge cluster looks like it is out of a 1999 Buick Regal. It is atrocious. That is the one thing the driver looks at all the time. That is the last place to skimp. I try to overlook theses things but it is so bad.

If it is the stock transmission it is a ticking time bomb. It needs full suspension too because all stock components are junk and failed in the first 30k miles.

Yes I know this. That is why I said to research it. I know firsthand that they had serious issues with the Focus because I work with the former Ford warranty center manager. And when I called the dealer they had 13 other cars in having the same repair done.

What? I am telling you a fact. Do some research. Look up ecoboost carbon packing too. The worst part about the Focus transmission seal issue is that they knew exactly what the issue was from day one because it was leaking fluid where it shouldn’t be but they said it was a calibration issue. Also they denied my request…
