WTF, did they really drop Homelink? Why!??? I understand the bean counters wanted to save some pennies, but usually they only entirely remove things like that (let alone making them optional) if customers don't really care... I have to imagine that the majority of those with a garage-kept new...

Man I still can't process that we live in a world where it costs $80K for a not-fully-loaded, not-GT500 Mustang... Inflation is a helluva drug. My well equipped, slightly discounted Mach 1 felt slightly uncomfortable at $55K OTD just three years ago (and that was when interest rates were nearly...

I'd like to offer some unsolicited advice that I myself struggle to adhere to sometimes: It's just a car, brotato. Chill out. No matter how much you care about your baby, or how angry you get when people do stupid shit to it, said shit is still going to happen eventually.

Interesting, did not know that (re: racing at WG and Sonoma). As much as I love cars, HPDEs, go-karting, and racing games I never got into most forms of professional racing as a spectator sport for whatever reason.

Didn't NASCAR recently introduce some proper road course (not just circles) racing on the infield at certain tracks?

The inflated pandemic-era used car market was not going to last forever.

I've only briefly driven and ridden in a GT350, and it wasn't at the limits, but based on what I've read and heard time and time again on YouTube as well as from owners at the track, the main advantage the Shelby's (esp 350s, I think) have on the DH is steering feel and feedback. The GT350 is...

So calling an opinion irrational is now considered "name calling"? You know what I would call that idea? 100% irrational. Great book, BTW. I will strongly second your recommendation... though some people make the advice harder to follow than others. :wink:

Edited in a more thorough reply after realizing I somewhat misread your reply... either way, yeah, this horse wasn't worth keeping alive about 10 posts ago lulz.

... I think you're connecting some of the wrong dots, brotein. I'm not saying people are rednecks because they don't like start/stop. I'm saying that some people are rednecks, and because of that, they have an irrational disdain for start/stop. And I'm also not saying it in a way that was ever...

Brotato, I was making a tongue-in-cheek jab at people who are afraid of technology and/or think climate change is a hoax. I obviously don't think even the people I'm describing are literally rednecks by the Webster definition.

Check again, brolka dot. I said I don't hate the feature as much as many of the rednecks here. That does not imply either that everyone here is a redneck nor that everyone who dislikes the feature is a redneck. All it means is that there are some rednecks/Luddites here, and they blindly and...

Again, I never said everyone who hates the feature is a redneck, brometheus. I think you need to re-read my original post, which, BTW, we're taking far too seriously at this point in any case lol. I suppose I had a feeling that comment would strike a nerve for some people.

Where did I say I think that? Was it before or after I said I don't want the feature in my car?

I think you guys are deflecting a bit if you're assuming my post meant I think everyone who has ever disliked this feature is a redneck. As I was getting at in my earlier messages, even I myself am not a fan of this feature in sporty cars, especially with a manual, although based on somewhat...
