Never been a Camaro guy myself, my 1st car was a Mustang and still have it + another one. This latest couple of generations was quickly crossed off my list after sitting in one at the Detroit Auto Show. Simply couldn’t see outside. I image folks that didn’t have a preference one way or another had the same experience…

If it is LS or LWhatever derived it'll be a pretty darned small and light powerplant.  That's why people put LS engines in everything ... Because they fit.  The cam in block design makes it super compact and less parts and size means less weight.  I'm not a Chevy guy, but that's a good motor and is TINY for it's…

Incorrect.  The credit inquiry will drop your score if you filled out the loan app.  Not much, but it will.  If you do a "soft hit" credit check, which doesn't REALLY run your credit, it won't impact your score.  Source ... Worked for an auto finance company for 14 years

Google the time value of money, how that interacts with the interest rate and take a conservative guess at what percentage return you can get on the money in a pretty safe investment.

You don’t need much storage space really if you have an inside place to park your car. I bought a cheap tire rack (ironically not from TireRack) and they hang out of the way above the workbench. If you con’t have that, hopefully you’ve got a friend with a yard barn. If you don’t have THAT, then most tire shops in the…

40 is still really tough. We’ve got a Fusion Hybrid and it’s averaged a bit over 39 in its life. Sure the Fusion isn’t the smallest footprint, but it is a hybrid and it still struggles to get 40. You’re right about the F150, I’ve got the 2.7 4x4 Crew Cab and it’s averaging right at about 20.5 in mixed (and I flog the…

The only things that get 50mpg are electrics or 3-Cyl Geo Metros that could never in a million years pass a modern crash safety test. To achieve 50mpg basically everything would need to be AT LEAST a hybrid.

I’m technically a millennial. We just picked up a Candy Apple Red 1966 Mustang Convertible with the 289. Spent last Saturday elbow deep in the 52 year old Autolite 2100 carb, cleaning and rebuilding it. Starts, idles and drives around great now! Refreshing to be able to fix something with a couple wrenches, a flathead…

Would be Bronco III would it not?

Charters have their own set of problems and in a good school district, they don’t increase outcomes at all. I’m currently watching this play out in my kid’s school district. One of the top in the state, ranks very highly. Not losing population in the area, but closing public schools due to losing students attending…

The wife and I just picked up a ‘66 mustang. 4 ashtrays, 0 cupholders

You already have to obey a cops directions when driving at risk of jail time if you do not. I don’t see how forcing the car to pull over and stop when a cop says so is any different. There are 2 distinctions I see...

TLDR; Because kids of the 80s and 90s are starting to have enough money to buy the cars they grew up wanting. 

All the stars! I even read it in Jerry’s voice!

Southpark mashed up with Sons of Anarchy ... perfectly sums up why lots of folks, not just younger ones have no interest in a HD.

No wonder they’re depressed ...

Not if there was a car in the right-hand lane ...

I’m in a similar boat. I love the lane-keeping assist, brake assist, automated cruise control and what not. Had all that stuff in a Fusion Energi last year and it was awesome. Actually kept me from rearending a car at a stop sign ... they took off and then abruptly stopped while I was pulling up behind them to look…

The 80's turbo 4's were better :)

You’ve obviously never been in a modern high-spec truck. I have an F150 Lariat ... it shames luxury cars from not too long ago. Ride is great over our shitty streets. Very quiet at 75 on the freeway. Heated/cooled leather, multi zone climate control, all the tech and safety goodies and more interior space than…
