My dealer(salesperson anyways) was actually a little surprised that someone would want to take a vehicle as delivered off the truck and not even washed. Well one time I bought a new F150 in 2004 and I got it new with terrible swirl marks and compound or soap residue all over the new black...

So I take great pride in my immigrant family background in getting a good deal. A nice way of saying my parents growing up were cheap, so it's in my DNA. Long way of saying I don't come from money, don't have a lot of money, but do hunt around which means sometimes you find things ( I am an...

I tried going the 1,3 shift and it didn't really have enough torque to not buck a little bit, or slog, or bog, whatever you might describe too little throttle in a manual. Admittedly I didn't wind out the tach enough to try it under higher torque as I'm still in the break in period.

I was definitely going to try the white top at some point with plastidip as it's reversible, but I will probably wait till spring, I ran out of time on the weather here in Mass. We got a dusting of snow on the ground overnight and the salt hit the roads with the tell tale whitish color when I...

I think my pitch and roll guages have only seen a few degrees at this point. I'd love to see the guages on video while he's doing this. like 25 or 30 degrees it seems

In Massachusetts windshields are covered under insurance with no deductibles as it's a safety issue and they are pretty serious with annual inspections.

I didn't use creeper as part of the usual routine in driving, but still find 1st gear to be pretty short. When I tried creeper gear it almost felt like it would roll at the same speed as first, but I didn't apply brakes to find out how low it would go before stalling. I'll have to play around...

Yeah, it seems like people are referring to this transmission as the 7M, because there are a total of 7 forward gears, but I would have been ok with keeping crawler, and readjusting the remaining six gears to a more spread out 5 speed. But again, I'm coming from a 5 speed car and even a 3...

I will try to make it a quick read and finally provide some content after lurking for over a year. Received my 2 Door Velocity Blue 2.3L 7 Speed Manual Transmission from Townsend Ford (Mass) last Friday. Had 8 miles on it at pickup. I ordered a base with zero options and only selected the...

Got my truck on Friday at Townsend Ford in Central Mass. First two door truck they've seen. Had 8 miles on it at delivery. Has 20 now. 285/75 tires go on Monday. Firestone XT's. Base model with zero options.

expecting delivery of my Bronco in a week and a half and was told there was no ford satisfaction funds available on my base. Getting it for MSRP so not a huge deal. wasn't really expecting it.

I'm not far from you and I'm expecting the first bronco I see to be mine when I pick it up. I'm not driving out the dealerships they listed to see a truck that's not even close to mine. I figure it'll be a good surprise to look forward to.

So 20 years ago when I was first getting into cars, it was very common for turbo cars to run a turbo timer. Do new turbo designs have better cooling and oiling than that of those 20 years ago? (I"m sure they do...) but, Is it still seen as bad practice to shut down a turbo engine quickly after...

The two door version of this jeep looks much better in person. I agree it would look even better if the doors didn't have the full body color frame, but the 2 door still looks a lot better than the 4 door.

I still have my OG domestic tuner car I bought new in 2002. Cougar with V6 manual black on black.

The most frustrating thing of it all is that they aren't even that good compared to the batteries I've had in the past. Like everything else it seems you're paying more for slightly less performance or reliability. I happen to be a teacher too, so good luck to your wife. 20 years in myself.

The only past experience I have was with cougars from 99-00. They had a tri stage red color and whenever a panel was painted without blending properly into the adjacent panels, you could almost always tell a slight difference due to slightly different environmental factors from factory booth to...

Agreed that a professional shop should be able to do good quality tri coat paintwork. Just more for the DIY'er that isn't aware of the three stages of this particular color. The link provided by vigor does not necessarily get you the products that you need, they only note a 2 coat system...

For those interested, I just found out today that the reason I haven't seen the dupli-color paint to match Velocity Blue in any of the auto parts stores. The reason is that it is a tri stage paint, which sucks for future paint work. It has a colored base, a second coat of a tinted clear...
