But the most important question is how many people can it hit?

I mean if it were up to me, I literally drive cars til the wheels fall off or it totally dies. So upfront costs aren’t such a bother for me. The numbers have shown that the Ecoboost options barely gets better than their naturally aspirated cousins. Yes there is much more torque and lower RPMs, but if you are on boost…
Honestly now all half ton trucks starting in 2019 will offer diesels (F150, Silverado, Ram 1500, Nissan Titan XD though this really straddles the half-3/4 ton class), why would one ever get a turbocharged petrol motor? I look at it in this way: one should be buying a pickup truck to do truck things (towing heavy…
I’m assuming you mean V6 engines? Cause I’d gladly take a Cummins straight 6 turbodiesel over any Ecoboost any day. We are the only country in the world who has gasoline powered trucks selling the majority. Every other country in the world has diesel powered smaller trucks.
I understand the Ecoboost series engines for fuel efficiency, CAFE....but do people really want an economy turbo in a work horse truck? DOHC engines have to be specifically setup to work in a truck (aka having alot of its powerband down low), otherwise you the disaster called the Colorado V6. Either offer a…
Yeah but all the IT jobs I want to go into are generally here in the DC Metro area. I could move to California but the traffic is worse and the cost of living is far more ridiculous without the pay really keeping up unless you work at a startup. And my family is situated here, so I prefer to be a little away but not…
Yeah I had a 1997 Honda Accord LX 4 speed autotragic. I drove that to 197k miles before I locked the brakes on ice and rear ended a Mitsubishi Montero. That thing was great.
Well mine is mostly highway...except I commute during the worst rush hour traffic you could imagine....so I guess technically it is stop and go traffic? lol. That being said, I do need to fix some things on it. I also bought new BF Goodrich g-Force Comp Sport 2 A/S W rated tires. Super super grippy tires probably do…
Wow an 80's BMW that isn’t a total rust bucket and runs? NP
Umm my dad drives like 7 miles to the metro station and parks there as he doesn’t want to drive a huge SUV into Washington DC (I don’t blame him). Occasionally we’ll take it on trips, or dropping off my brother to college. Since my mom got her new job in 2012, she literally drives 3 miles to work and back. My…
Oh man that is great. The OBS is already lifted from the base Impreza L wagon, that level of height reminds me of all modern 8.7" ground clearance Subarus. Also those EJ22's are literally bulletproof. Just replace the timing belt on time, put in gas, and you will drive forever.
We scrapped our 1997 CR-V a few years back (220k miles, it was leak every imaginable fluid). We got a laughable 8000 dollar “suggested” repair bill from the local Honda dealer. My dad promptly had some veterans car pickup come take the car. I really do want an old school GF Impreza wagon. Most near me are total rust…
Not surprised by this list. My dad has a 2005 Honda Pilot barely 80k miles. My mom’s 2012 Highlander has ~30k miles. My brother’s 2007 Honda Accord LX has ~110k miles. My 2005 Subaru Outback 3.0R LL Bean has ~158k miles and my 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek just hit 77k miles. My family plans on driving these cars til they…
Are we sure this is from 1968? It literally looks like it was driven from Europe after WW2.
The lesson learned here? Don’t buy a Ford.
While the advise is good, it really should be be it all depends on your situation. Around the DC Metro area, while we do get a decent amount of snow, I’m not sure it warrants dedicated winter tires unless you plan on driving a rear wheel drive sports car in the snow. My 2 Subarus are on good all season tires…

Wait what? 354 HP is suddenly a monster? I hate to imagine top fuel dragsters..
Wasn’t the Baby Driver WRX converted to RWD?
Both my Subarus are ready for a winter apocalypse. Assuming it’s calling for 2 feet of snow. Outback 3.0R LL Bean and my Crosstrek are ready, bring it on!
