I forgot about the F&F movies, and how they shifted over time. I vividly remember the first time I saw the Supra vs Ferrari race in the first movie and immediately thinking how it cool it would be to build a “Ferrari beater” in my garage. Having just recently watched the Fate of the Furious this past weekend I…

I would say that both groups have existed for a long time. Even when I was growing you up would always see the awesome custom ‘37 Fords next to the numbers matching 1969 Z/28 Camaro, and both would get a lot of appreciation.
My thought is that the “well optioned” craze is growing in part to two main reasons. First is…

I thought one of the advantages of doing away with the dealership model is that the automaker would not try to push customers into buying what’s “on the lot” or upsell them with more expensive models they don’t want/need.

Unless you are purchasing a limited release car or a Tesla, ALL, I repeat, ALL salespeople ask for more money than they are willing to sell it for. It is a social expectation that they will ask high and that you will counter.

There is a black one in my hometown with the license plate 4X4UFO. The guy loves it. It was definitely ahead of its time as well.

They are actually less efficient than a naturally aspirated V8 under higher loads.

I can’t say I’m too surprised, but there are people on this site that disparage Corvette and Porsche owners who don’t track their cars.

The wife wanted a sensible car so he said, I’ll go buy a Civic. He comes home with it, and after one look at it, she says that it has to go. In about 1 month he will be saying, “See honey, the dealership wants to give me $10k less than what we paid for it if I trade it in, and no one else wants to buy it.” I guess we…

I won’t bid until I can get a verified, actual mileage off the odometer.

It doesn’t matter if the 4.0L is equally thirsty at higher loads. All that matters is that the 4.0L is less thirsty on the test bed and that 1.5L of displacement that isn’t there for tax purposes.
