All arguments aside, its just simple physics. You have a very small contact patch of tire on the two front wheels in which to handle the vast majority of braking and steering. Adding the chore of propulsion to those tiny contact patches just over-taxes it.

Dude, storing wheels and tires is easy. Go to Hardware Store. Get about 16 inches of 1-1.5" pipe. Then get a flange with 4 bolts and a cap. Should cost you 10 bucks. Then lag the flange to the wall of the garage, screw in pipe. Slide wheels over pipe, screw on cap. Then you will have year round storage for your

Yeah, you should get your wife snow tires. AWD is great on sand and mud, but it really doesn't matter all that much on snow if you have the wrong tires.

If you are dumb enough to live in a place that has regular snowfall, you should buy snow tires. We all know that FWD vs RWD makes no difference in "traction limited circumstances."

Manufacturers making cars cheaper by making them handle worse so they can sell them to people who are too stupid to know their shortcomings. RWD cars cost more to make, but they solve that whole problem with having the same two tires do all the driving, steering, and braking. Remember the 70s with FWD big blocks?

No we can't. I would love a new Ranger. The Base F150 literally won't fit into my garage with the door down. And I have a big 3 car garage.

Wrong. FWD cars are inherently cheaper to manufacture. Being able to keep all the mechanical up front means that the same components can be used in several cars. Having one set of wheels responsible for braking, steering, and traction is a bad idea.

Won't fit in the F50. The rear suspension is bolted to the engine. There is no subframe.

Once again, the coupes were left out. 677 manufactured from 2001-2002 with the S54 drive train.

Yeah, you show me one factory installed car navigation system that was manufactured in 2005 that offers an update in 2015. Free or otherwise, and I will be very surprised.

I could care less about features when the road I am driving on isn't on the navigation map.

While this is true for the next 12-18 months, it will not be true after that. That's just reality.

We should boycott instantly obsolete electronics in cars.

..... then add diesel, a manual transmission, and then add a truck bed on the back and you will have a winner!

What kind of idiots are buying navigation systems in cars these days? They are obsolete in less than 6 months, your phone comes with a better system, and you won't be asked to buy a navigation update for your phone.

It depends on how much a jerk the guy parked is, because he did serious frame damage to that car by picking it up that way. There are clearly specified jack points on the frame for a reason.

Heated seats are rather pointless in such a car. Cooled seats might be a better option.

I would just find this infuriating. Not necessarily from the price point, but generally you would want a car with LESS options so it would have more performance. All those stupid extras just slow down your already absurdly expensive car.

The title should have been:
