No rattles or squeaks on mine after nearly a year. Never really had that issue with any Fords I've owned come to think of it. Every single GM I've owned was one big rattle trap. No more of that from GM to me. Bye GM.
Saw some kid in a very dirty Mustang recently driving through a large strip mall with a ridiculously loud SC whine (probably coming through his radio, LOL). Don't know what it was but he apparently wanted everyone he could find to hear it. I couldn't stand to drive a car like that.
Yeah, I agonized over the ecoboost for about a half second. Well, not even that long.
I can get over 26mpg without trying on my GT on the highway and over 20 in town if I behave, and I don't.
I think their unit is a very good one which is why I am very disappointed. I think they have a people and business problem, both of which are unneccessary. There is NO reason that product shouldn't sell quickly. With a little marketing and execution, they should be rolling in money if they...
Yesterday I saw a kid in a scroungy looking, very lowered, ghetto looking rice rocket making a LOT of noise but going nowhere slowly at what sounded like 10K RPM. I stayed behind him which was just the flow of traffic and all of the sudden the engine just exploded in a huge cloud of grey...
VR has only a few things to offer. A reputation which is worth a lot but declining, a product that works but with plenty of competiton, and that's about it. Their R&D was covered years ago, their fixed costs have to be low (a little space that's likely paid for) and the rest, small variable...
No doubt either the Chinese taught Russians how to drive or vice versa. I tried to figure out the system of driving in China and couldn't do it after watching from my hotel room several stories up. Their lanes are painted exactly like ours but they mean literally nothing. They have a way of...
I absolutely HATE the knuckle dragging apes that go down a four lane (city or hwy.) side by side blocking traffic with nobody else in front of them. In town, I just pass them on the center turning lane. This kind of road blocking has to be done by those on the very left hand side of the...
I absolutely HATE my Mustang because the floor mats (rubber genuine Ford) get dirty! Can't Ford make a car that doesn't have floor mats that don't get dirt on them!!!!????
No experience, I have the AE ( I know, some people don't like it). I would go to a "Cars and Coffee" one Saturday and see if there is any in person knowledge or a car there you could listen to. Just an idea because I absolutely HATE shitty sounding exhausts.
Yeah, I lived in a special compound in the mid-80's in Bogata. That was the only half way sane way for an American exec. to live there back then (or now) but made insane money too. Yes, I was a crazy risk taker back then and probably still am.
All cars are over-priced today. Average price of any kind of new car is $50K today with an average payment of right at $750 per month. That payment is inconceivable to me. I just make one big payment which is also inconceiveable. IF I remember correctly, my first Firebird 400 was around $4K...
I just push the "cancel" button. I HATE big brother stuff. I'm an educated adult and don't need disclaimers and a nanny state like message. On that note, that's just another reason I liked my 400 Firebirds.....open door, get in car, start car, put in gear, go man go! Stop, buy gas, go again....
