Justin - your review and contextualizing of the Ford Ranger is a great example of thoughtful automotive journalism. Sorry to hate on the lovable Regular Car Reviews but his review of the Ranger completely phoned it in and missed the point. While I enjoy his gift for off-topic absurdities frequently about his ass or…
Wow, you really, really misunderstood my point.
I’d like to preemptively tell the jackholes who will assuredly post here asserting that Tucker was a businessman & perfectly acceptable capitalist and that the onus was on his victims to not use his services ... to please go sit on something sharp and perhaps fatal.
Quite astute of you.
My aged mother’s low-miles ‘91 Town Car decided to depart this realm in a fiery conflagration while parked outside her doctor’s offices. The other 99.99% of its life it was parked in her garage where it would’ve burned her house down and likely killed her. Ford’s recall for this exact issue was for 1992-93 year cars.…
Lemme spell it out for you ...
Then you’d best not drive anywhere. Statistically that’s far more dangerous than a train.
Amtrak Fun Fact:
How many lumens exactly does a Heather Graham put out?
Okay, that’s the best documented reply I’ve seen from one anonymous person to another - and bravo for that!
Might happen after the presidential pardon ...
We were cross shopping the Pao / Figaro / S-Cargo and nearly bought the Pao that I wrote about in my The Truth About Cars story:
You’re right, fabric would obscure the goods. With .6 cu/ft of airspace I’d think an 8" is probably more appropriate. Also would need a lo-profile mono amp and we can drive the existing speakers from the head unit. And this coming from a guy who use to have a couple of 1o’s & a five channel amp - back when ADS was a…
Gangsta klezmer and tejano-step.
Your mission, should you accept it, is to find a C4 Corvette convertible, look at the tiny parcel area behind the seats and then suggest a sub. Our B2300 single cab truck has a JL Audio W3v3 subwoofer behind the seats that works quite well and we’re considering a 2nd one. As small as it is, it’s borderline too big for…
81.5mpg over 19 miles is child’s play, hell I’d get over 100mpg drafting trucks going down the continental divide, no joke. But when you can average 70mpg at about 70mph over 1445 miles, well then, now you’re talking.
1st gen, an all aluminum two seat car with good safety ratings, airbags, air-con, power windows and locks and magically under 1900 lbs is light-ish? Ho-kay ...
Perhaps not “best” but certainly gorgeous:
We got the convertible, thus almost no room for an amp and sub. WTF was GM thinking, not giving it a trunk? The parcel space behind the seats is pitiful, equivalent to the space behind the seats in my TR6.
We’ll take your recommendations to heart. 1990 was the 1st year of a double-din head unit. I’ve installed a few systems over the years, but now that I’m not broke I’d rather farm the task out. Don’t the Bose speakers each have a small dedicated amp that’s got speaker level inputs, not line level? Depending on…
