I think it depends on if you daily drive. For me, I'm already hitting the gas station about once every 10 days. If I only go to quarter tank, my visits go up 25%, call it 9 or 10 extra trips at 15 minutes each, so about an extra two hours per year. A fuel pump looks like a few hours to put...

And for some of us, it's a non-starter. I think both Ford and GM are going to miss some folks by not having a MT. I took the manual knowing I would give up a half second to 60. In software there is the 'user experience,' the fastest version is not always the best. For both the GT500 and the...

I've done most of the work on my cars for the past 35 years or so. I've changed clutches, replaced head gaskets and such. I used to do a lot of the work with my Dad, now that he has died it's not as much fun. I think it's great that folks still do their own work, but I certainly don't look...

jgruben is right. If you can feel clutch fluid, that's your problem. You need to stop the leak, bleed the clutch.

I'm with you, I work in software, but I really love the analog gauges. There is a simple functionality to them that just goes really well with the Mustang.

Self reported instances here are just impossible to judge quantitatively. What is the sample size? What percentage of them have this particular issue? I was looking for used cars recently, if you go to any given forum, there are always a series of threads that make that car sound like an...

I wasn't suggesting you were a troll or trying to 'come at you,' the evidence you were providing just seemed a bit specious to me.

Well, you hardly refute something being internet troll bait by posting forum threads. If you show declining engine reliability in Consumer Reports or JD Power; I'd buy that, but this could be nothing more than observer bias. If you want talk about transmissions in the Focus, there are tons of...

For the Mustang GT the take rate runs around 50%. I took the manual knowing I was giving up a half second to 60 and just under a second in the quarter mile. For this type of car, much more than just a straight line car, I think Chevy made a mistake. The low take rate for the vette is with...

I don't think so, mild hybrids are not that heavy and just starting with an aluminum frame would weigh considerably less.

A bigger gas tank Stiffen up the chassis Shed some pounds Make it a hybrid and get some power to the front wheels 550 HP NA DOHC HUD would be cool You can have an optional DCT, but keep the stick option for we Luddites

I dunno, there is something kinda effete about the new vette. I could never take it down to the hardware store. Flat plane crank, stick shift; I'd still rather have the GT350, not that I can afford either...

Better visibility, a bigger trunk, and a restyle and they wouldn't be able to keep these in stock. I don't understand GM.

Isn't the State motto "Live free or die"? It does seem strange that they would pass a law requiring holey bumpers. My sales guy was pretty cool about the front plate. He said, "There's mounting hardware for it in the trunk, but you have to drill holes in order to mount it. I would never do...

Just curious, has anyone done comparisons for a manual of stock gears to 3.73 to 4.09 for 0-60 and quarter mile times? Do they make much of a difference?

The first two codes seem to indicate the heaters on the 02 sensors are out. The third is one of the o2 sensors itself showing the wrong voltage. The last one is odd, it seems to be a problem with communication to the steering wheel. For them all to come up at once sounds curious, more like an...

Mine told me to watch out for that noisy car behind us ... it was just us.

This, exactly, cash flows discounted for inflation and risk. Just like Dillenger robbed banks because that's where the money was, Ford is building trucks and SUVs because that is where the margins are.

In 1965 there were about 25 automobile deaths per 100,000 population, today around 12.

That sounds more like a bad choice of where to live; I'm in San Diego.
