actually the first car i owned with a manual transmission was a mercury capri rs turbo. i actually had an original 2.3L turbo engine. as far as the delicate nature of a modern 2.3L turbo engine, the electronic control module keeps you from blowing it. a modern turbo is a quite robust engine...
the problem is when you leave all those parties, this is the reason to pull you over and find you were the life of the party. the problem is the police use little laws to look for bigger violations, and you just gave them an articulable reason to pull you over and investigate... btw... retired...
first thing you need to do is learn to cook. eating out is expensive and if you looked at how much you were spending in restaurants, buying a car would be simple.
a lease is never a good idea. at the end of a lease you will have paid for 3 - 4 years and established no equity in the vehicle...
try adding a quart of marvel mystery oil to the gas and running the tank. sometimes a good injector cleaning and decarbonizing of the combustion chambers will help you out.. it is a $5.00 option, not a guarantee. it stretched out the life of a clapped out police car i was assigned many years...
with this being a limited edition, i think ford might not be releasing these to the public, as they might end up on counterfeit first editions. it may need to be ordered and installed by a dealer...
just mail me the money you were planning to spend. that will solve your problem. why are you asking complete strangers about what will probably the second largest investment of your life? are you looking to make what you think is a bad decision and then relinquish responsibility to someone on...
Is being a " pace car" for a parade really an up sell? marshalling vehicle maybe, but pace car for a parade might not be the right term... setting the pace at walking speed..
it is all fake, like patton's phantom army to distract from the normandy invasion... ford has employed artists to paint mock ups of broncos... they are really just escapes with mock up bodies on them...
did you pay your deposit? are you under contract? there are legal remedies. are you aware when a vehicle is enroute, it is added to the dealer's stock (before they receive the vehicle)? have you spoken with anyone at the dealership personally?
really, and a tachometer will stop you from missing a shift and forcing your car into over rev? nothing will save you from stupid,,, don't be stupid, and generally the synchronizers will make shifting into the over speeding gear much more difficult, so the tachometer is not fixing you forcing...
the complicated aspect would have been the loss of the prep fees. but the fuel costs for you to drive across the country would easily reach $500.00 and then you are probably looking at a couple days of lodging and food costs.. easily four days driving. or a couple of thousand dollars to have it...
the ecu will keep you from over revving the the engine.. most people with experience are not looking at a tach. you can feel when a engine stops pulling. also if you are looking to drag race a bronco, you should be prepared to lose a lot of races. i have been a licensed driver of manual...
i remember back in the day, a tachometer was not a standard dashboard accessory. when i learned to drive you did not look at a tachometer. you can feel when it was time to shift gears. this is part of learning to drive a manual transmission. a tach is not a shift light. a tach is just a little...
if i am not mistaken, the ford frame cross member is 2 7/8 thick and the curt hitch you mentioned has a 3 1/8 inch channel to straddle the cross member. so you should be good with the use of a couple of shims to take up the additional space. this should be fine for if you are looking to mount...
i really like the looks of the 2 door. i am not a fan of the whole family truckster look of 4 doors. i hated when the wrangler was made into a 4 door. i think the gladiator looks like shi feces and would look great as a 2 door. i understand the day to day utilitarian purpose behind a 4 door...
