That depends. You’re correct that the cost is cheaper (especially counting the value of your time) but if you are comfortable doing far more than oil changes it’s something you typically do while doing other maintenance. I typically check suspension parts for wear, look for other leaks, rotate tires, replace air…

I always felt they used the 1999-2004 front particularly on the refresh.
People will still buy F150s but they may not be the high margin trims ford was hoping for. A lot more XLTs and fewer Platinums. They are going to regret dropping their cars though. As a Ford fan this hurts because everyone saw a drop off coming (not this bad but the party was starting to end before covid) but my fellow…
Is the jalopnik staff hung over today? It feels like every story just got posted in the last two hours.
Im hoping they move the escape more towards the focus niche once bronco junior is out. The focus had a lot of potential Ford didn't see through, saddling it with the now notorious dct and letting it rot on the vine.
Ford always does that. It’s what you give up in exchange for the key pad, worth it IMHO. If you really want them, FCA products all seem to have gas struts. I guess they expect you to need them.
It’s still an out growth of the fox like the sn95. They went to a rear irs and had some changes to the front as well iirc. The list of parts you can swap is pretty lengthy. Even with the rear still shares a lot of parts with the IRS cobra or vice versa (the mn12 pumpkin is an upgrade). You could swap over a complete…
T bird could be lemons candidate, they're worth nothing but effectively a foxbody under the sheetmetal so the mustang world is your oyster for parts.
Lets not advertise the indy 500's too much. Its the best bargain UHP tire out there imho, way grippier than they have any right to be. I don’t want the price going up.
Go easy on the oil now, or you’ll be cleaning it out of your teeth.
Its a SN95/New Edge thing, if your avatar is correct. A lot of guys used to bend the throttle pedal upward to match the brake, I don’t condone that for the record.
That’s a pretty valid point. Did the all the ball joints need replacing? Maybe not, but I’ve got the scars to prove I did it.
Yeah I meant to give it a try last season but work picked up. The only drawback is my car would be in a hilariously noncompetitive class (Street modified I think, its an 2003 cobra with more than factory boost and some suspension work).
I’ve got the budget (until recently) and time to dabble automotively but not to actually get into SCCA or HPDE on a regular basis, I suspect this is a common situation on here.
Tip of the cav’ hat to you for knowing about the atomic tank.
I found that example when I googled it.
The US figured out the answer to this question following WWII.
I’ve read before it is a never meet your heroes kind of car but I could look at it for days...
I saw one of its tamer cousins in the wild (waiting for me to leave my parking spot) and was shocked enough that I said out-loud “holy shit it’s running”. Judging by the dirty look, that hit a little close to home for the owner...
For sales, Yes.
