Hey! You found my mom’s old car!
It’s an old Mitsubishi, with body damage, and high mileage. It’s a CP at free. The parts to fix it when it inevitably breaks are outrageously expensive and hard to come by with Mitusbishi’s dwindling dealership network. There is no upside here.
Neutral: You better believe it.
Dull car: Toyota Camry
Yeah, umm... Google can’t even find my house (my address directs you to an intersection 1/4 mile away) and they don’t want me to have a way to get their car that will be navigated by them that last 1/4 mile?
2015 Mustang
Airbags? Hell, my first car didn’t even have shoulder harnesses, just lap belts! (1975 Chevy pickup I got in 2000)
While the AMX badging would be the coolest possibility, it’s never going to happen since Fiat-Chrysler owns all of the AMC trademarks.
It’s kind of like the Jeep thing, you’ll never get it until you have one. I had a GMC Sierra for four years as a daily. I still can’t tell you why I picked it over a Silverado, but I can tell you I liked it a lot more than my dad’s Chevrolet. On paper they’re the same, on the surface, they’re mostly the same, but…
(Reads a little) "CP", (reads a little more) "CP", (keeps reading) "CP", (finds out its a stick) "fuck it, NP!"
NP, hands down.
That didn’t kill Saturn. GM turning Saturn into “just another GM brand” instead of staying the course of being “owned by GM but very different” did.
Dealerships absolutely put fake badges on cars.
Ford 2.3 Turbo SOHC and a T5 or M5OD trans. 200+ hp/tq, good fuel economy, and manual transmission with rear-wheel drive, all of my boxes are now checked.
Here’s a concept... let’s have the accelerator pedal directly connected to the throttle body, with a nice strong return spring. You know, a setup with nearly zero chance of failing in the middle of Interstate 35 in Austin, Texas in bumper-to-bumper mid-day traffic. A setup that doesn’t wait two seconds between me…
As someone who’s owned two of the German-built Capris (have one with a 5.0/T5 swap in place of the German 2.8/4spd now), this was easy.
I have a little more truck than I need. I have a 3.7L V6 (the non-Ecoboost that nobody seems to know exists) F150 STX Sport Supercab with the towing package. I don’t really need the rear seat as a single guy with no kids, but once in awhile, I have more than one passenger, so it’s nice. I don’t need a 6.5 foot bed,…
No. I bought my 2014 F150 with Sync with great anticipation. I actually liked Sync in my mom’s 2010 Taurus Limited. I didn’t know how horribly different the versions of Sync were between the two until it was too late.
