2013 F150 EcoBoost Lariet, 2wd. Thanksgiving day, headed to Ft Worth to eat with family. Torrential downpour, changed lanes on an overpass to avoid a car in the right lane that was halfway parked on the shoulder. Hydroplaned, had to decide to either correct in the median and risk going into the opposing interstate, or…

Meh. Gonna have some odd headlight tones between the base lamps and those garbage grille cutout lights like you see on 6G mustangs.

Another side note I’ve learned over the years: try and avoid dealers running off with the key to your car if they are evaluating it for trade. That’s your ticket home, and their “hotel California” way of making sure you can never leave

Had a “call for price” experience a few weeks ago shopping for a new daily driver. Found a 2015 Jetta Wolfenstein(?) edition with 22k miles. Surprisingly, the person on the other end of my local VW dealer had the price right there and ready. Where they lost me was trying to sell me on extended warranty and how that…

Not a great “driving” story from Drivers Ed, but once my instructor let me listen to Van Halen’s “For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge” during my driving time that day since it was just the two of us.

Will it Porg?

Random thought, largely irrelevant of the Aero (which you should not trash btw), but damn i miss having to turn a key to start my car. There’s just something about it that feels “right”. Both the push button on my 16 Mustang and 17 Fusion are fine, nothing wrong with either, but aside from that “right” feeling, i miss…

Out here in west texas, despite being near yugeeee amounts of the slicky icky, gas prices are nauseously out of touch with the rest of the nation.

Noiiiiiceeeeeeee

2006 Honda CR-V. I cannot explain why, but i just get bad vibes.

I always forget Hyundai exists, despite generally respecting their vehicles. Like many will point out, this could be the answer to our lack of small truck needs.

At 30K its a maybe, a yuge maybe, but at 40k? Negative ghost rider, the pattern is full.

Thanks for the reply!

One of my best friends recently bought a base Camaro because he didnt want to daily his Raptor anymore and as much as it pains me to admit (loyal mustang driver here, sorry about your cars and coffee meets, Earth), i actually admire the new Camaro a lot.

I’m in the market for a C7 Corvette. My question is this: is it worth paying 65k+ to have the warranty in the first few years, or is the platform reliable enough to be ok with buying say, a 2015 with 12k miles on the clock for 48k? Not looking to track it or anything, just general shenanigans.  

Came here for this

Agreed with KBB being quite a bit off. My experience has been that dealers generally pay 2-3k less than what KBB cites, but results may vary. I’ve met very few dealers that openly cite that they use KBB for pricing used cars on their lots

This is gold.

I’m going to go with Nice Price for the fact that someone could easily talk this down to $7,500 or lower. In some parts, this could be “first car” territory for parents shopping for something with the reliability of a tested platform and the signature name recognition of what sounds like a Michael Bay AutoBot

Too much chrome for me. I’m not a fan of “blackout” styled cars, but in race red, black accents/wheels are hard to beat.
