It also depends on the car and brand. One reason why I have owned 20 Honda/Acuras in my life is that the worst I have ever done in a trade in is get what I owed on their loans, usually under 2 years. This even included sales tax added on to the price of the car. I have actually done msch better...

We had a big party for 4th of July at our friends house. In these neck of the woods, the 4th is all out war everywhere, all out WWIII. The neighborhoods are packed full of people spending tens of thousands of dollars and bit 500mg finales or powerful (legal) mortars. So we sat in our coli-sac...

garage car that does not see rain, I run i through a good car was with the top up once every few months (tell them not to use brush's) which basically gets the dusk and minor road gunk off. I've hand washed it twice in the past year. Still looks like it just came off the show room floor.

I had a similar story to these when I bought my 2000 Honda S2000, on of the first 50 in the USA in Sept of 1999. I took it to a BMW track day and had this ~60 year old guy as my instructor. This guy had trained people for 30+ years and been in every car there is. He drove his open wheel in the...

Im sorry if you felt like I insulted your financial position. But its still a fact. Its ridiculous to make the assumption like this because its a Ford (this is my first Ford in 25 years too after 25 imports), this can happen to any car and usually does. If you truly dont want to worry, go buy a...

Im at work so I jumped in my GT today for lunch and spend 5 minutes trying to find this button to totally deactivate the nanny, I just cant find it, what am I missing. I have a premium and I usually run around in track mode myself.

If you cannot afford to fix a few ~1K issue on the spot then you cannot afford to own the car. This is not a rip on people but a financial suggestion. Same thing goes for a house, if you own a $300,000 house and you cant afford to drop a quick $5K cash on the house in an emergency, then your...

Oddly enough, I used sunroofs a lot when I was under <25 but over the past 20 years I have had a dozen+ cars with one and never even removed the blind to let the sun in. For me, if Im in an enclosed car and its warm enough to open the roof, I have AC on. If its a hot day with a vert, drop it...

I agree with many, I dont want the car Nannie. In fact, I feel less secure with it. This is a high powered RWD car and on the track, a lot of steering is done with the accelerator. I am concerned about pulling the fuse and loosing ABS (which is essential). Can anyone officially confirm this?

For apples to apples, I wish we could see a non-PP vert GT and a non-PP fast back GT compared. if the vert is pulling a .9, I would bet the fastback (without brace) would pull something similar. I still say .9 is absolutely amazing. I remember in the 90's and 2000's when the top performers in...

You are tapping into a fact that many car people seem to not realize. Tires matter more then anything. "family" sedans tend to have big floaty comfy tires so people complain that they "handle poorly". A great example was the 2015 Accord V6 I had. The stock 17" wheels and tires were...

To be honest after reading a lot of the comments here I am utterly shocked that people think they actually have a "relationship" with any dealer. I've probably purchased 20 new cars in my life, 10+ from the same dealer. I can walk in there and tell them I have bought 10 cars from them yet I know...

Man, 10+ years ago if I heard someone complain about low end on a 400+ torque car I would laugh myself to death... But I guess v8's have finally caught up with 4 bangers (mid-90's) and V6's (mid 2000's) in creating serious power. This is a rev'ing engine... rev it up! The thing I like about...

Its probably just an opportunity for your wife to deal with a different issue relating to the car. Things like: 1) Shes thinking about kids. 2) Shes jealous of your relationship with the Mustang.

If I didnt buy this Mustang, I would probably have my 4th Honda S2000 in my garage. I bought my Mustang because its really isnt a "muscle car". I generally hate cars defined as such (Challenger which I still consider the ugliest car on the road). I bought the Mustang because its a sleek all...

American Muscle sent me an email telling me that it was in just about a day after I requested that notification. So here is the skinny, Corsa does no list this for the Vert and has not said it was released yet. Is it possible that American Muscle is trying to sell a normal unit (3") that...

I have had a few Acuras over the years, 2004 MDX, 2003 TL Type S and a 2015 TLX. Great family cars, good picks. I really love the new MDX's.

Isnt that kinda the point right, of course its outdated? You just agreed with me, that system is 9 years old yet it is still better then my 2015 Mustang GT premium with nav. The NAV is almost worthless to use, trying to touch the screen feels like Im using a 386 25mhz. Even now on that Lexus, I...

I dont think he is "hating", I think he is stating a fact. Yes, Hondas did have blutooth audio in 2008. When it comes to my premium GT, I can say that it still doesn't have the features of cars I owned in 2003-2008 and even worse, the features like my NAV feel like they are the ones in the cars...

Amazing, lucky for you... that would be a great 3 month trip!
