I have a '22 Kia K5 that I'll be trading in. That car was always intended as a holdover to my next fun car, but I needed something with back seats. The S650 is a slick looking car, and while I did own an '03 V6 Mustang, I wanted to experience the 5.0 ("the last of the V8 Interceptors..." Mad...
Is there a conspiracy theory ETA thread, or is this it? Do we have a running list of possible explanations: 1) missing parts, 2) QC issues, 3) transportation shortages, 4) aliens pre-ordered and are planning to beam them up to a popular dealership in Alpha Centauri?
This reminds me of Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown to kick; promises, promises, and right when you swing your leg, the ball gets yoinked...
So I guess the question is, besides any tuning we can speculate about but don' t know, would increasing the tire size by 50mm be enough load up the front end to overcome the boosted steering and provide more feedback?
No it's not; rising your mouth is not the same as say getting a tooth pulled or getting an implant placed. In either case, not "a seconds to fix" scenario. You rely on a technician to do a job and hopefully restore your car or mouth to the same function as you had before. Sorry for being way...
I don't know f-all for working on a car; that's why I'm happy to pay a mechanic to do what I can't do. My car being a sanctuary does not require me to be a vehicle technician. I'm a dentist, so by your definition, if your mouth is a sancturary, why don't you do your own dental work?
I get that a mechanic has to enter my car and move my seat to facilitate a service, but on the other-hand my car is a sanctuary, and personal settings are comforting to return to. Since I don't expect an entitlement to preset positions in my Ford that is not a Bentley, I rely on a memory...
The Challenger is the most "retro" in terms of looks and bulk, that is for sure, which is why I got one once upon a time. Too bad Stellantis couldn't keep up with the times; a 9/10ths scale version with a hybrid electric AWD and massive tires keeping the OG looks would be tempting, but the...
My senario is a bit pear shaped in this hypothetical situation. Depending on used car prices in 7 years or so, the new Mustang GT is my holdover for a gently used Corvette E-Ray when my kids get their driver's licenses and I can spoil myself with a 2-seater.
As long as you're not upside down on your loan, aka if the car is worth more than the remaining balance, then the dealership will pay off the loan on trade in and the negotiated residual value will be applied as a check they cut to you.
Statistically, if you can negotiate a good price, a...
Dumbing down is not a danger. Situational awareness is highly, well, situational, and an electronic prod can be helpful. I suppose the fear is that computer based aids will dispose us of our senses; I don't believe that. You can rely on your senses, but you can also take cues from cameras and...
