I do that and find it amusing too. Not sure why. I'm also a little amused by going down the hill to my place in whichever gear it is that controls my descent at a modest speed (35 MPH residential zone, with a 25 MPH school zone at the bottom of the hill), watching the person in the automatic...

I've grown to dislike all-black interiors but that still wouldn't stop me, only cuz dealers seem to order few Mustangs with interiors in an actual color. But for the exterior it's extremely important it's something I'm comfortable and happy with. Bright colors would make me feel...

Heh, I was referring to looks. They look clownish to me with big, bloated, bulbous looks. I might add, same for full-size pickups. My dad says his SUV doesn't ride as well as the Fusion he traded it in for. (Dunno if his Acura whatever is built on a car or truck platform. It's not their...

I love the optional silver wheels for the performance pack but I like the 20's just a bit better.

I generally love it too but wonder if the doodads on this car is causing some of my skills to atrophy. Like what if I had to drive someone's older stick shift vehicle for some reason. I might look like an idiot doing it, now that I'm used to auto rev matching, hill assist, and automatic...

That's why you drive slower when there are pedestrians around. Not the speed limit simply because you have the right of way. I plan on going my entire life without killing anyone. It'd be little comfort to me that I was legally not at fault.

Pro SUV: My folks traded in their Fusion for an Acura SUV of some sort (all SUV's look the same to me), cuz it was getting too hard for him to get in and out sitting down somewhat low in to a passenger car. Maybe as the population continues to age more people might be buying vehicles they can...

How Ford does in the aggregrate on extended warranties is not my concern, it's how I feel the one specimen that I own is gonna do. We both can be winners.

Well you can't develop a proof for something's that subjective, like is something worth the extra money to a given person. Maybe it more boils down to which attitude one tends to take on things: 1. I just spent a lot of money on a car so I'm gonna try to save money on gas. 2. I just spent a lot...

I could've turned it off and taken the time to get a feel for what engine speeds I need to be at around for which gears at what speeds. But it came with it so I skipped that part of learning a new manual tranny. I'd say it's a qualified yes on making one sound like a douche. Yes, cuz it revs...

Totally agree with your point about how in 2001 a GT was very accessibly priced. Altho a 20-something male, especially if unmarried, would've gotten murdered by the insurance on it. I got mine when I was in my mid-30's. But they were also very crude back then. Bargain V8 power. Seemed like...

Seems odd to me that you can go up or down in the menus in the dash, but only in one direction with these switches on the console. Maybe when originally conceived there weren't as many planned drive modes to cycle thru. I switch out of my normal Sport mode into Wet every time I enter my...

I do it basically every day, partly because I have a dog and we go to a dog park some evenings a week and I throw my pack and jackets and crap in the trunk when I'm done. But also cuz I'm super paranoid of putting things like to-go meal containers on my seats. And putting it on the front...

If they offer you a package, called "10K service" or whatever, and you agree to it, you've agreed to whatever's in it, they don't need to ask about the individual items because they're not extra things beyond what was already agreed to. The "honest" stealerships will offer you something like a...

Ah, okay you're right about the ambient lighting, which is a very cool (fluff) feature to have IMO. I'm not seeing the door sills listed. I'm actually enjoying that more than even the pony projection lights, which I hardly ever notice anymore for some reason. Seeing the "MUSTANG" at night lit...

Three and a half minutes to tell you there's a plastic funnel in the spare tire well to stick in the hole. I appreciate the info but OMG some youtubers love the sound of their own voices.

What the Premium has over a 301A base is just fluff. Unnecessary lighting accessories like ambient lighting, pony projection lights, and illuminated door sills, and silly creature comforts like heated seats, mirrors, and optionally the steering wheel ffs. I could've gotten every option I...

High Performance Valves? Well dealers do phuck tons of people so there you go! :cwl:

I've only noticed a couple of times in my life, walking through a parking lot and surprised to hear fan(s) blowing loudly under the hood of usually I think it's been a small Japanese sedan, blowing loudly like the thing was idling, except it wasn't cuz no one was inside and the engine wasn't...

Wondering if the ABS kicked in. It doesn't look from the video like you were slowing down during the emergency maneuver, but anti-locks retard braking force in favor of maneuverability. Which is what I don't like about 'em, my '01 got totaled cuz someone pulled out in front of me and I had...
