This is exactly what I did - moved from Analyst to Client-Management, and wanted a nice, professional-looking vehicle that could fit 5-6 adults, but that didn’t guzzle gas during my 95% city daily commute. Bought a 2019 Highlander Hybrid Limited-Platinum: averages 24mpg thus far, with AWD; has enough space in the 3rd…

I would highly suggest one. Mine is a 2012 Regal GS with the 6-spd manual. I regularly exceed the EPA ratings for both city and highway fuel economy, and I don’t exactly hyper-mile it. Buick Intellilink is a really good infotainment system, the heated seats are a Godsend with how hot they get, and the traction control…

I’m 22 and own a 2012 Regal GS Manual. It looks great, it drives great, it’s been reliable for the 12k miles I’ve owned it. I get so many people honestly look at it and go “That’s a Buick?”

I see your Ironman VehiCROSS and raise you the Ironman Package Ford Explorer:

The city in which I’m currently attending university, Conway, AR, has seen an uptick in two-wheeled transportation. Unfortunately, it’s been 49cc scooters that can manage a mind-bending speed of 35mph and can only do so after a minute or so of vicious throttle application. These work, and are abundant, at our…

One of these pulling one of these:

I don’t know about other vehicles, but the SUVs had the code on a sticker on the remote keyless entry module. This module is located (at the very least in the Explorers) in the jack storage area. Flashlight and 5 minutes and you get the code.

Yeah, you swapped the trunk and all-open buttons. But otherwise, spot-on. I always loved this feature, and I have it on my Mountaineer. I just kinda wish it worked with the hatch...(it only pops sedan/coupe trunks, not SUV hatches...)

But they are though: two 10mm bolts on each side, a wire retainer on each side, and a few taps with the palm of your hand. http://dodgeforum.com/forum/diy-do-i…

Universal Studios Islands of Adventure in Orlando has one outside the Jurassic Park Visitor’s Center, along with one of the Explorers and one of the Jeeps. The Jeep is in rough enough condition I’d say it was from the film. The others I can’t say for sure on...

Yeah, they were certainly on the interesting side of things. Funny thing is that when I went to sell my Volvo 850 Turbo Wagon last summer (replaced it with the Miata you see as my avatar), the guy who ended up buying it showed up to my duplex in a ‘barely a year old’ BMW Z4, left the roof down and car unlocked in my…

That’s kinda like what happened to my grandmother a year or so ago. She’s 87 and starting to go senile, so we moved her into an assisted living place. The only catch was that her insurance would only pay if she didn’t have a car (Assisted living means no driving, apparently). My aunt and uncle were interested (FYI,…

I few years ago I attempted to sell my 1999 Mercury Mountaineer. I had a number of interesting people call about it - A mail carrier who argued with me about which engine it had, saying she’d “Had a number of them all with the OHV 4.0L (Never offered in a Mountaineer - only the SOHC)“. Had a husband and wife team with…

Thanks for posting it! Didn't know if the email went through. Sadly, part of me wants it... but thankfully I don't have the cash for it right now.

I don't think it's the fact that there's loads of good NAs & NBs around (there are), but more that the NC isn't as interesting. I've got a '96 M Edition and I'm aspiring towards an '03 SE. I DD mine and rather than wanting a superleggera Miata for track days I want a well-optioned comfortable one that I can wring the…

I found it funny I got 9/9 or Travis on the quiz, because I have one like his, but a little closer to stock. Aftermarket stereo and a little extra sound deadening. Only real mod so far is the addition of an NB Nardi steering wheel - much lighter and feels loads better.

When I bought it the original leather was sun-faded and cracked. Got just the material from a guy on the Miata.net forums and had to reupholster both seats. Not for those with large hands.

I have an M Edition and would hate to replace the seats on my car again. You can't get blood off cheap leather like that. Mine's a '96 to be precise. And apparently my name is Travis Okulski, but I don't know how I feel about that...

Apart from the obvious answer of Hellcat (Charger or Challenger, either is fine), there's a single R63 AMG for sale at http://www.rarecarsforsaleblog.com/2014/09/15/mer…. Or you could get one of the new Chevy SS sedans, with a manual of course. If you have one I'll at least get to see one outside of a dealership... No…
