My dad bought a first gen R/T two door. Exceptional handling for what it was and for the time was pretty peppy with a 7.5 0-60 time.

Yeah, it’ll be an adjustment when I get rid of the ST.  I don’t know... maybe I’m just getting old but the thrill of a perfect heal/toe down shift and rowing through the gears at WOT just doesn’t tickle my taint like it used to.

I’ve always had a manual. I learned to drive on one... but... I’m ready for a DSG I think.  Maybe I’m getting old lol.

Plus a star for the usage of the word cunt.  

Interesting... I have a FoST and drive 30 miles per day in Boston / MetroWest traffic and one of the things I love most about the car is that it will maintain 5mph in 1st gear and around 7 in second. I just leave it in first and it’s kinda great.

I’ll never forgive Ford for slapping the ST badge on pieces of shit like this. These are dark days for Ford.  Bring back Allen.  

Forty seven thousand dollars? I mean... fifty grand for THAT?

I choked on the price.  47,000 shit box.  

Settle down, Audi.  I can only get so hard.  

The average consumer gives not one shit about Skyactive X. What they do care about is flashy infotainment, a badge, and the looks of the car.

So Much Want.  SO MUCH WANT.

What’s the green knob on the dash that he is turning?

Gotta give them credit... they sure do have balls.  Comparing this to a contemporary SL.  What type of drugs and in what quantity would you need to do to test drive the SL and the Caddy and think... christ!  Gimme the Caddy!

Indeed.  Indeed.  Le sigh.  Oh well.  As GM goes so goes the nation, right?  Fuck, we are doomed.

Ohhhh.  LOL.  

That piece of shit wasn’t worth 4k new.  Honestly.  You have to just sit back, look at the history of GM, scratch your head and think out loud... “how have they lasted this long?”

Fellow Bostonian here and you are a billion percent right.  I drove into back bay on Saturday morning on the way to pick up some friends to go to the beach and the number of double-parked and just plain stopped in the middle of the road Uber’s was enough to make a man drink.  Absolutely ridiculous.

I’d be terrified to be in an accident with this thing.  How much has all those alterations affected crash performance and body rigidity?  eek.

Yes, which is why I mentioned that in my previous post, though probably not very articulately.

My center channel is 5 speakers in it. It’s still just a center channel. Right and Left are separate speakers. I understand that the signals are telling the speakers what to do but to call this a 5.1 is misleading. Also, it probably should like trash. So there’s that.
