From what I remember of these was taking off in 1st and winding it out, hmmm this sounds kind of cool... hit redline, slam it into 2nd oh yeah this thing is hauling listen to the engine! Hit 3rd huh, this thing is pretty fast the engine still has some pull... look down at the speedo and it’s just going past…

I’ve wondered if there are enviomental factors that cause this or just shitty workmanship. I’ve seen much more good headliners than not. Personally I’ve never had a headliner problem and the newest car I’ve owned is a 1996. Given the 100s of millions of headliners produced I’ll bet there are more Ferraris that caught…

I had one back in the early 2000s and as long as you had decent tires it was fine in the snow. One winter the tires I had were 80-90% of being worn out. It was a bitch getting around when it snowed. Bought some new all season Michlens made all the difference in the world. Was as good as a fwd or awd car? No, but it…

That car is going to have more overheating issues than a z06 trying to cool 500hp with just air and oil. How many miles between rebuilds 10k-15k?

Compared to Europe in the US we have worse weather, cheaper cars, cheaper fuel, bigger streets and roadways, and not as congested. Motorcycles also require more maintenance, take more skill, offer zero weather protection, and are far less safe in a crash compared to a car. People want things easy, convenient, and…

My wife is from Iran and I’ve been there a couple times. These are all over the place and my father-in-law’s car almost got towed by one. Up in the northern part of the country by the Caspian Sea there are tons of old full size jeeps, J series pickups, wagoneers/old cherokees. I think AMC did some licensing deal with…

Follow these 2 rules and everything else will fall into place.

Growing up in Massachusetts, I remember in the late 70s my dad had a 69 or newer Ford pickup. I was maybe 4 at the time, one day we were coming home and the whole passenger side of the bed came loose and was flopping around in the breeze because of all the rot. Not sure how it didn’t come completely off but we were…

So how does this compare to a 2.0T ATS? Kind of the same car

My mom has an 06 and I took it to the strip when it was a few years old. Made 4 passes, on the first 3 I bogged but that 4th one was an event. I think I had the RPMs around 4k, dumped the clutch, nose launched into the air, shifter was bouncing up and down, wound it out in 1st, pushed the clutch in, nose came down,…

So does this come with a 50 gallon oil reservoir to get rid of the heat of 500hp? I don’t see this engine lasting long if you plan on using 3/4 of the available horsepower.

I’d say they sold reasonably well. They followed HD’s way of thinking on using common parts/platform for different models. The XB platform from 2003-2010, had 2 engines, 2 frames, 3 different types of suspension, shared plastics and wheels, and came up with 12 different models. Output during those years was around 10k…

I’ve only driven 2 cars that have rear wipers, a Suburban and a Subaru Forester. I could count on 1 hand the amount of times I’ve been glad I had a wiper on the rear window. I own the Suburban and live in SoCal so it doesn’t rain much and I have not driven in snow with it yet but I don’t think I’ve ever turned on the…

I think student loan debt and crappy pay for people that didn’t go to college has a lot to do with the down turn. This is happening in other “lifestyle industries” such as boating and antique cars. Millennials just don’t have the disposable income boomers did at their age.

What’s the big deal? The sheer volume and affordability of Corvettes and Mustangs make them attainable to anybody that wants one. Of course they are going to dominate the list.

My wife’s car has some of these features, adaptive cruise I can see being nice in some areas but in SoCal it leaves too much of a gap for other cars to get in front of you. Lane assist is dumb, either keep the car in the lane or not, I don’t need any help to do it myself. I have tried it a few times and I find it…

Ugh, My grandparents had an 85 Ciera, must of had the mid level trim since it didn’t have the calculator but it did have a POS carb’d 3.0L, wire wheel hubcaps with locks, pwr windows, locks, cruise, remote trunk release and velour seats that felt like they were made out of Velcro.

I was going 80+ through the Virgin River Gorge heading south on I-15. This is the only place on I-15 that is interesting and has some corners between SoCal and Salt Lake City. When entering the gorge there are flashing lights and big signs saying slow down, 50 mph, sharp curves, etc. and they continue through the…

Any kind of mod that comes in a can. With my first car I use to add a can of Restore at every oil change. Since is was a “high mileage” Delta 88 with an Olds 350. Damn marketing people.

I have an 88 Mustang and I use to have a K&N in it until I took off the tube going to the throttle body and noticed an oily film with dust stuck to it on the inside. Replaced it with a paper filter the next day. With the size of the stock filter and air intake I seriously doubt it is a restriction until you are over…
