I guess I did know that the falcon continued in Australia for some time, I didn’t realize it was still going till now though. It would be weird timing to plug it though considering Ford is ended production last month...

Well tagging it #falcon wouldn’t do much for sales would it? Unless they are bringing back the Falcon name and I am just way outta the loop (possible, I am becoming a dad next month...)

The skip shift doesn’t do anything to detect test conditions, it is always active under light load, the programming doesn’t change when the car detects test conditions. Also, I think the skip shift programming is a fuel economy measure not an emissions measure.

2x seems like a lot for anyone who isn’t a competition level weight lifter...

So even though mike pence is about as preferable as gonorrhea, is there any chance that lawsuits will bump trump out of the presidency before he can do much damage? Or is he pretty much untouchable now???

Also can I be ungreyed on Jezebel purty please?

Or you could buy a mount for it...

I rented a Focus ST170 (the old one) that was stripped with a roll cage, I think the fact that it was slow as molasses is the only thing that saved us because I am pretty sure it didn’t have any nannies.

HAHA, same here, well I drove 4 laps and my wife drove 2 and we didn’t crash up and die. WIN!

What do you think his intention was exactly? If he was alerting them to the crash, the ring employees people for that purpose, there is no reason to put yourself in harms way on a race track., if you get out of your car, get the hell off the course!

“not to mention that poor guy who almost gets run over by a BMW.”

It was pretty eye opening for me, a half white programmer-ish Californian. I have never had any of the issues that the Latina nurse or the black salesperson had. I simply show up, usually there is no line, no id check, no issues with the voting machine, lots of friendly volunteers, nobody trying to intimidate me…

I think my solution would be to buy the cheapest reliable used car that you can, and try to borrow money from family to get that loan paid off and then make reasonable payments to said family member to pay the money back.

I know this isn’t the type of advice Tom normally gives, but picking up another bank loan in this…

It is if you are familiar with loans and credit, yes, which is why I brought it up. VivaEvolution’s suggestion won’t work for the letter writer because his credit is clearly less than “premium” as toyota puts it.

I bet if you read the fine print, the 0% deal is for buyers with very good credit...

Football season is the WORST and it’s way too long. Nobody gives a crap about your draft picks, I promise!

Fun Fact, I was roommates with Jenova Chen in Berkeley when he was working on SPORE for Maxis in Emeryville.

I would just like to point out that the Golf R, which is identical underneath, comes in stick shift...and has more trunk space. :)

I hate to say that I looked up the soundtrack for Cruis’n USA to see if this was significantly worse...I submit that it is.

My C7 Corvette shook at idle, probably through ecu programming though...either that or typical GM quality.

Your logic is completely flawed, the ONLY reason to do this sort of engine swap would be to turn it into a drift/show queen.
