....would this also be RWD? Or are we just saying “No” to both traction and steering.

Is it still going to look ridiculous?

News of a stick is good news indeed!

Now I wonder how long till we start to see some on the dealer lots?

They’ll pass it because it’s self testing and reporting. They've done it before with the same car. 

This is absolutely the correct answer.

Keep the Camry and the Ranger. Get rid of the rest and find something you want to work on that needs less of... everything.

This truck is literally unobtainum up here.  I’ve often though of buying one and flying down to drive it home.  Course then I’d just ruin a nice truck up here...

Yup, without a doubt someone snatched this up instantly for asking price and if they decide to sell it in another 3-4 years with another 30K on it they can get the same price if they don’t abuse it.

I’m a firm believer in having both a pickup and a wagon.

.... That’s a wagon.

A small shooting brake would be great...

Can’t possibly be less reliable or worse built than a stock Fiero.

Detriot 6v53, cummins b series, ford 300 I6, any of the ecoboost engines...  There's a lot to choose from. 

They’re all torque steer and one wheel squeal.

3Kish is the right answer.

OK I’ll say it.

I don’t know how they do it elsewhere, but every time I register I have to provide mileage.

Yup those displays were an issue in the A6.
