Hey, that's me!

Ford is selling the 2014 MY Flex in the United States, anyway, and I can't seem to find any official notice that it's canceled for '15. I think they just did a decent refresh on it, so I'd be surprised if it doesn't stick around for another 2 or 3 years.

I'm seeing Focus STs listed on local dealer's websites starting at around $21k (just outside of Houston). In fact, their cheapest Focus ST is cheaper than the only Fiesta ST they have in stock. It's making it awfully hard not to buy one.

I think the second gen is a great car. I love the look of the popup headlights on the first gen, and think the second has a slightly more feminine design, but overall the interior seems a bit more modern on the second gen and both are great looking and similar performing cars. The second gen also had a bit more…

Can't recommend it enough. I've had my '90 since late 2005, I think, but took it on a track for the first time this weekend. It's amazing what those little cars are capable of, even with almost 200k miles on the odometer. The limits (with a good set of tires) are so far from anything you'd ever see on the street.

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…
