I currently have 4 cars from 4 different makes and 3 different countries.  Of those only 1 would I like to have more examples of from its production life and that is my 15 Mustang and even then it is only certain generations I would have.  I recognize others of it’s lineage for what they are, steaming piles of garbage…

He got run out of Gainesville for stealing a laptop.  As heir apparent to Tebow he probably could have walked into a store in Gainesville, found any number of orange & blue clad fans and said hey buy me this laptop and walked out with his shiny new machine without a dime spent or a word said against him.  It’s like he…

NO, everyone who puts on a visor and isn’t Steve Spurrier is a tool. That man turned the SEC on its head and sent Alabama reeling when he showed up at Florida. He actually turned perennial bottom feeder South Carolina into a top 10 team. His NFL career was terrible, but he is a college football genius.  

Funny from a man with serious anger issues who constantly yells at players and has complete meltdowns on the sidelines during games. There is a reason I still refer to his years at Florida as the Muschump era. Being fired up and excited is one thing, but his shtick is borderline psychotic. I also don’t believe he…

Nope, Ward has to advance on the grounder, he can’t stay at 3rd just because the guy at 2nd is out, that’s why it is a force out.  On a ground ball with the bases loaded every player is required to advance.

Full time 4wd isn’t as fuel efficient as 2 wheel drive, you lose power and economy by driving 2 extra wheels.

All of the current Ford 2.3s are bored versions of the 2.0 Ecoboost and directly related.  That’s why those RSs were blowing up they were putting Mustang headgaskets on RS blocks and heads, the cooling pattern wasn’t right in the gasket.

The Focus RS has the 2.3 and is rated higher 350HP than the 2.7.  Ford doesn’t put that motor in anything other than the RS as far as I’m aware unless they use it for the US Ranger Raptor.  The 2.7 is neutered a bit as to not get too close to the 3.5 in power.  I think Ford’s 3.0 NA motor is just a larger displacement…

They have 3 heads for this motor the 285, 310, and 350.  The 285 is used in stuff like the ST and I think the Explorer, the 310 is the Mustang, and the 350 is the RS which I think also gets a bigger turbo.

I’ve had Hancooks, Firestones, and Coopers, they have all been fairly decent tires. I’ve never bought the absolute cheapest tires I could find either. I usually look for a set that is rated for my use and cross shop as many different sites and brands as possible. I will usually land on the tire that seems to be the…

Causeway bridge over lake Pontchartrain in Louisiana is 27 miles long and a lot of the interstate (with some sections a lot longer than 6 miles) is bridge out there due to the swamps. 6 miles isn’t that ridiculous, what is ridiculous is that one fell down. 

This is neat, but I think my grandpa would have just pulled the chain and the come along out.  Any off roader who doesn’t have a winch would at least have a decent come along and either some chain or steel cable.  At least you won’t have to worry as much about wood or rope breaking with either of those.

I think you meant to say predecessor not successor, seeing as you are reviewing the successor to the previous Fiesta ST.  If not are you really Marty or Doc Brown?

Nope the first one was F series based, the II Ranger based, and the last one was F series based.

Can I bring the steering wheel with airbag in from the junkyard and claim the $1k, they can still replace my airbag in it? What if someone is driving around with one of those time bombs in there truck right now and doesn’t know it cause they have an 05 or 07.

Just guessing here since they’re missing about 25% of the 06s.  Probably a solid chunk have been junked (wrecked, scrapped to rust or some such, or blown engine is more than the value) and the others are probably running around not giving a crap.  Just go browse craigslist, small truck owners will beat on those things…

CP voter here, the radio is just the beginning of an electrical crap storm with these cars. 

Just no, a buddy of mine had a 93 example of this car in red and auto.  All of the electronic components slowly started crapping out.  Window switches, door locks, ignition components, and it eventually developed a situation where if it sat for a few days it would drain the battery, so he started taking it out and…

Pickup trucks and large vans still use them.  The old style used in a bunch of Fords would crap out.  The mechanism that connected the physical shift arm to the indicator on the gauge cluster wouldn’t match up.  This forced you to count the physical clicks to know if you were in N, D, or 3.  I have also seen column…
