Kind of on topic, does anyone use other than 5w-30? I know the coyote is a fine piece of engineering in the main, but I've wondered about oil pressure at 3 bar (41psi) when hot and just cruising.

I did one trip where for 80 or so kms Waze and my detector were almost constantly alerting, some would have been certain tickets. But, here's the trap, I'd just overtaken a couple of cars, doing around 130kmh, and a cop rounds the bend ahead and he's probably doing the same speed. He hits me...

Hitting the bump stops shows how well suspension works. How these boi racers tolerate riding on the stops all the time beats me. No brain, no pain I guess.

My average over 18 months is 13.4 L/100kms. Best was 8.6 ( a unicorn maybe, usually low 10's), worst was 19.

Bump stops are there for just that occurrence. It must have been a hell of a bump. If there's no sign of scraping, and the shocks aren't leaking, I wouldn't worry too much.

What a great idea. This is why we still need pioneers.

Honey, I think there's something wrong with the car. When I hit the gas, it makes a screeching noise and I think it catches fire. There's lots of smoke.

The price paid isn't a running cost, it's the depreciation on that price that counts. We're in different countries, the Mustang is an absolute performance bargain here. Hopefully too, depreciation won't be an issue, because I have no intention of selling mine.

Life wasn't meant to be easy. Poor horse doesn't get a run.

Well, we've had the Abarth for a week. This is as close as you'll get to a modern analogue car. Things it doesn't have. Auto stop start Emergency autonomous braking. Cross traffic alerts. Active cruise, or any cruise. Lane assist. Push button start. Wireless AA (I've fitted an aftermarket...

$1500 to spend? A road trip over twisty roads to a small town with a motel on the lakefront and a great restaurant. We did that a couple of months ago. Highly recommended

And waste the rest.

My wife's new car doesn't have a front cam or sensors, but it ends at your feet so it's easy to judge distance.

Because my wife got sick of getting out, going to the front, and beeping.

We obviously have very different systems in our respective countries. What I've seen owners and DIY'ers do makes me very happy we have a thorough inspection system.
