My 1975 Mustang II Ghia coupe. That picture was taken 9 months ago when I put it on ramps in the front, stands in the back, and put traction bars and subframe connectors on it... and haven’t done a damned thing with it since.

GM is running out of “the world’s okayest crossover”? Say it ain’t so!

For the love of God, it’s “Roush”, not “Rousch”!

I love most dual-clutches and adaptive cruise control is amazing.

Yes, I hate it.

I once stuck a golf tee in a hole that had formed in the coolant passage of the intake manifold on the 2.3 in my dad’s 77 Capri. It stopped the leak long enough to get home and JB Weld it for a more “permanent” fix. That car was such a crapcan, but it was fun!

Heard the fuel economy lies from Ford before. Even though my 2014 F150 tows better than any other pickup I’ve owned, it’s replacement will not be another Ford.

Believe it or not, oil filters. Champion Labs and Wix make a lot of your OEM filters, and between the two of them, make all four major parts store chain store brands except for the Autozone commercial filter (which is made by Honeywell/Fram).

Ford extended cabs are four door. The rear doors open backwards and require the fronts to be open. They’re a bitch in parking lots. I hate mine.

As a technician, good riddance. The things have been a bitch to work on.

I have a 77 Capri, factory 2.8/4spd car. It was quick for it’s day, but trying to find parts for this bastard s original powertrain got old, so now it has a 5.0 from an old Mustang that’s been rebuilt and warmed over along with the T5 transmission from a ‘95 Mustang. The factory V6/4spd combo is in my shed should I…

It also makes it easier to make an engine design fit multiple platforms. The wild variety of vehicles the 3.6 Pentastar is in is a shining example.

There was most definitely a fox-chassis (Fairmont-based) Granada. It was built for only two years (1981 and 1982). My parents had both a 1979 Fairmont Futura 2-door and a 1982 Granada L 4-door, both with 200ci straight sixes and automatics. My dad, to this day, trash talks the Fairmont while singing the Granada’s…

I’m a licensed inspector in the State of Texas. Our inspection criteria is pretty much a joke. If you leave your smog crap alone, exhaust doesn’t leak, all your lights and horn work, tint isn’t too dark, and tires aren’t bald, and it stops in the correct distance from 20mph you pass in a non-emissions testing county.…

You haven’t been able to renew registration without passing inspection for two years now.

As bad as drive-by-wire throttle already is, and the “manual mode” on most automatics out there, you want to encourage the fucksticks at the OEMs to give us clutch-by-wire?

The oldest two I’ve driven were a 1950 Bentley and a 1958 Chevrolet Apache.

I was working at a Hyundai dealership when I was given a UCI on a ragged-out Lincoln Mark VIII. Being a former Lincoln dealership tech, it kind of saddened me to see it looking like that. I got in a turned the key, and it turned over, but wouldn’t start. After three tries, I said “Come on dammit, you’re a Lincoln, you…

Mustang II needs to stop appearing on this list. Yes, Ford made a horrible mistake not offering a V8 in the ‘74 US models (Mexican market IIs were available with a V8 for all five years, and not just a 302 2bbl, they had a 351W 4bbl option as well). Yes, it was based on the Pinto (big deal, the Falcon was a delightful…

Swiss Army knife.
