Thanks all. I think I will go with the CTEK or the battery tender, and I will most definitely put a fuse on it. (thinking a 5-10A fuse) and maybe a LED light to indicate flow so she knows the fuse is good. Mostly it's her not understanding her car features. For instance...my car only got 300...

Hey all, My (elderly) mother has a 2018 Regal TourX that she only drives 25-30 miles a month. With that, she has had major problems with her battery as it draws 600mA even when off. Do any of you know of a battery tender that I can permanently install that will supply 1-5A of current that...

Heh, you probably didn't get a 20 on truck while at stop light either. There are days I can't sit on my couch or lay on my bed because my back hurts so much. It happens...

My brother had an 88 cougar with the 5.0 engine. It was actually a pretty fun car to drive at the time.

The mustang GT premium and the M340xi are probably right in line with each other. 50k is probably a good number. I know that when I've priced what I would want, it comes out around 50k or so.

Mustangs can cost 50-55k. I can get a BMW M340i for that easy. Yes, a little less horsepower, but will do a 0-60 in 4.1. So no, BMWs do not cost 2x as much to drive. That said, they have put a lot of emphasis on the driving experience you get out of their machines and it shows. As for the...

Fusion is gone too. It stopped production last year. Mustang is the only car that Ford makes.

first off, the taurus is no more... Second, did you ever test drive one? I did, both the SHO and the Lincoln version. It was FWD biased and had a massive amount of torque steer on it. Put your foot on the gas and the steering wheel twists in your hands. Now go compare that to a BMW x drive...

sorry, I prefer something over 400 hp....

The thunderbird was not a crown vic and neither is a 3 or 5 series. Honestly, that's what I would like the most, a personal cruiser that had enough room for a full sized adult in the back. Yes, I would prefer 4 doors, even without kids. Makes it easier to get the 4 footed kids to the park and...

Personally, I prefer buttons, but I know some want touchscreens. That said... I personally find that there are times I really want to turn off my display screen in my BMW, and my F350 (and I can in my F350), as the light can be distracting in certain conditions. I don't even want to speculate...

It depends on how "upscale" they want to keep the mustang. It's not a bad interior, especially compared to the Camaro and the Charger/Challenger.

would have loved to have purchased a falcon, but, they never offered it here.

I test drove a Lincoln LS in 2003 after my Thunderbird was rear ended at a stoplight by a truck. It was a very sunny 78 degrees and the air conditioning unit could not keep that car cool. Sorry, but if you live in greater Chicagoland, you need both good heat and good AC. I ended up with a...

hope so. getting to the point where you want AWD to put down the power. It needs to be RWD biased though, not front wheel biased
