My Summer Car in particular because most parts wear or can break from high revs, oil/coolant loss or crashing. Great game that just keeps getting worse... I mean better!

As buggy and neglected as the Focus RS is a Golf R is definitely the better choice.

As in that’s what happens to the motor. These aren’t tractor engines anymore.

The auto-brake recalls are synergistic, right?

I mean, Trump also indicated NASCAR should have kept confederate flags, too.

Buncha jagoffs. Pittsburgh’s better than that.

This was also true for tuner cars the in 90s and the 2.5 RS before the WRX came to the US. Turbos throw a lot of back-pressure considerations out the window.

I would expect even the shelf tune can adjust for it. But otherwise there are recommended exhaust standards for tunes, while catalytic converters are expensive and are one the standard cut corners with Subarus.

The Cobb sticker is a clue as to why the exhaust was stripped. It’s not the end of the world (mine’s been on the car for sixteen years) but it does require an explanation as to what’s changed and why. It also affects the price as you may or may not be able to pass emissions locally. Cut/short springs on standard…

Aren’t they just early 70s trucks Dodge kept building into the late 80s?

The captain should have just held on.

Those things had a super-light clutch compared to my Subaru. I think they ended up in the same market as the Lincoln LS. Ford built some really interesting cars they just abandoned in early 00s to hustle more Explorers.

I’m sick of a few people’s interpretation of the market limiting my freedom of choice.

Turbo: 0

Well, shit. I was considering my first trips since the lockdown would be a few fall jaunts up to the Empire Hill Climb in September and LSPR in October with some stops at Marquette and Ishpeming.

Yes, deaths are definitely the tip of the iceberg when you look at how the virus affects the country.

There’s more to it than deaths. There’s the long term damage to some people that recover and the disruption of routine and emergency care along with the stress on staff at hospitals. This is affecting the public health on levels that aren’t so much in the news other than the general economic condition.

Then how do the front wheels change direction?

$50k is the going rate for those faux working-class luxo-barges, isn’t it?

My principal in high school had a red one. He was also the football coach. Back then it was just gauche enough for suburban Pittsburgh.
