Part of my proof is, I've only had two tickets my whole life. One was a parking ticket, and the other for wasting fuel driving at 62 in a 55 mph zone (circa early 70s).

Let me see if I get this correctly. On tap now, are upwards of 850 HP for a Whipple-ized GT or Dark Horse out of the lowly 5.0L. Now Ford, answering the call of competition and public alike (let's not forget the car mags too!), is upping the displacement to 5.2L, and punching out another 200 or...

Voice command is okay perhaps, but learning the correct phrasing is a bit taxing to remember. I think the process needs a bit of AI so it can understand better.

As I thought about this a bit... If Ford really wants a performance four door to fill a model niche, why don't they bring back the Taurus SHO? Off-road you say? Heck, they already have three Raptor models, and none are really setting the world on fire except with their pricing! Perhaps they...

I missed the "T-TOP" post on first read. I guess I could relate to t-tops, but then I remember my car-nut friend who once owned a t-top Camaro. Take the panels out (if you have room in the trunk to store them?) and turn your car into a wind-buffeting nightmare! No thank you.

There is a good reason real convertibles (not hard top types) are rare—it has more to do with lack of rollover protection than popularity. There are some convertibles with rollover protection built in, but save for the windshield pillar, the Mustang doesn't have any. As for retractable hard...

Comfort mode make mine feel like a 1957 DeSoto—loose as a goose!

I bought my Eco-Boost Premium last September for just 0ver $40K. If I bought a 2024 today (the dealer has two in stock), I'd pay about $35K. It is the price considering new ones are on the lot. As for the one at the top of this thread, if it suits you, but it.

It is called leak back, as in the fluid drains back down to the tank. I've not noticed mine leaking back, however.

On two different new car occasions, I have ordered add-ons from fancier models like the parts shown here. In one case, the total spent was a bit over $2,000 mostly for door sills and other interior trim, and a set of new tires and rims. When it came time to trade, I didn't get one dime extra for...

Yes it is. Just today, my HVAC blew cool air into the cabin. I didn't even have to open the windows.

My Ranger doesn't dum-de-dum, and neither does my neighbor's brand-new Explorer ST. If you record the sound, put it in any MP3 file program, and speed it up, the sound you get is a duplicate of an old TV oater like Hopalong Cassidy! I can't imagine an Explorer or Escape with this exact sound!

The last time I thanked Seri, it asked me why!

There is a problem with Seri. He/She doesn't cuss, doesn't talk sexily, can't answer most questions unless location services are turned on (as if that mattered in most cases), and has too many canned answers. Like... I can't answer that while you're in motion! Why not? All I ask for was the...

It is happening. The new Ram PU has a passenger screen which will do just as I described.

Here is the deal which you can read into the included article I posted. You're driving down the street, it's about 11:30 am, and your car's fancy-dancy screen with audio pipes up to tell you Denny's restaurant is three blocks ahead on the right! This kind of privacy intrusion is about three...

Actually, that dum-de-dum you hear, repeated and sped up, sounds like a horse galloping. Who ever thought this easter egg up, deserves a raise!

Well, I didn't expect the variety of posts which have ensued! I did say it was a love/hate scenario and the replies certainly prove that point. One of the points I tried to make (albeit distraction is the most important in my book) was the intrusion of advertisements while we're driving. I'm...

One thing is for sure, it is pain in the rear!

Look at page 399 in the owners manual. It is called valet Mode.
