One of the things that bothers me the most about getting an alignment done is that they don't seem to differentiate price based on the number of adjustments. My E24 BMW only allows for adjustment of front toe - I appreciate you guys measuring camber, caster, toe, thrust angle and anything else I'm missing here, but…

Brakes. I have no idea how friends and relatives manage to walk into a shop and walk out again with $700+ less in their pockets, but it seems to be an alarmingly common occurrence.

I feel vindicated! I always use a parking brake, even with automatics. I don't feel like leaving a constant load on my rubber engine / transmission mounts when I'm not even driving (the load can be pretty significant if you're on a hill).

Neutral: Yes, both loss of access to physical facilities and a much higher likelihood of loss of access to computer resources. As a consumer - we were looking at building a house and had a meeting this weekend. However I'm not going to enter into any agreement until I see what the fallout of the shutdown ends up…

I had it on 2 cars right after it came out. I think max discount is 30% and we managed to get something like 28% on one car and 26% on the other. In all fairness, though - I generally didn't use either car and my wife would switch between one or the other, so most of the time at least one of the cars was just sitting…

As someone who has participated in the 'tracking' based insurance - I would like to point something out that never seems to be mentioned:

I was wondering when I would see a critique of these ads on here. They've been running them for a while and they seem to be completely ridiculous - I was quite surprised that there has been no mention of it until now.

I don't think the car this article is about is the first production Mustang - I think it's the first car that was sold to a retail customer. It's VIN may be quite a bit higher than 00001

Why buy this over the Corvette? Easy - the interior. While it may not be up to today's standards, it was a lot nicer than the contemporary Corvette's interior (the Corvette isn't a luxury car, after all). With the number of automatic Corvettes sold as glorified boulevard cruisers to retirees, the XLR actually made…

I would agree with you, but the Encore doesn't seem like a very good fit for Buick either, and it's doing better than I expected.

I really want to see how they package the interior to seat 7. It looks like the second row is practically against the rear glass.

I wish - this new coupe could use a V12.

Eh, it's not just once a year, we routinely have fighters fly overhead, often at full throttle. Happened this morning at ~7 am.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. The air show is too damn loud already.

I'll just throw my two cents in and agree with you. I'd consider myself a car nut. I own 5 cars and 2 motorcycles and actively enjoy working on them, participating in car clubs, forums, etc... Since graduating college and getting a job and moving to the suburbs of Houston (a VERY car dependent city) I have NEVER…

Yeah, 50-60 is pretty impressive for something with that kind of power. If I recall - the '01 is before they went to fuel injection, making that number doubly impressive. My Nighthawk is high 30s (quad carbs), but I've never really tried to get decent mileage on it...

I have two bikes, an '03 CB750 and a 1981 CM200t. Since my commute is generally under 3 miles, the CM200t gets used most often. I get 80 mpg under circumstances where my 4 cylinder car can't break 20. It has a tank that's effectively 2 gallons - I fill it up about once a month for about $6-8. Insurance is about 180 /…

Living close to work, doing all of my own repairs / maintenance, using a small displacement motorcycle for most of my commuting and making an intelligent choice about what daily driver to purchase, taking into account maintenance requirements and repair costs (mostly parts costs, but my time is a factor so labor is…

Is there any reason whatsoever to consider this over an 84 hp Spark, which starts ~$800 less?

Going on a diet and adding IRS aren't cheap. The V6 mustang has become a bit of a meme because - on paper - it really is an incredible performance bargain. Ford is trying to eliminate the 'on paper' qualifier and is trying to create something that's thoroughly modern and great to drive in the real world. If the base…
