NYC has a synagogue of infected people that have spread throughout the city, so I'd say NYC is lost. People like to travel too much and have crappy habits. The issue with COVID-19 is it's very infectious. If it spreads too fast, there will not be enough ventilators for folks that need them...

If you're really going to offroad a vehicle, you don't want the fenders painted. That's mall crawler stuff. Redneck pinstripes are a badge to be worn proudly.

I have a soft top wrangler, and I only put the top down maybe twice a year when it's over 80*F and the kid asks for it. Any idea of security in a soft top wrangler is completely gone once the top's down and doors off. I want a fixed roof wrangler. I'm one of the folks who doesn't want a...

I don't have a problem with denying warranty coverage for legitimate abuse of a vehicle. If I take my $30,000 car to a drag strip and run it into the wall, I don't expect State Farm to cover the damage. If I melt a piston on the big end or break an axle in the burnout box, that's on me too...

Alphabet (google) and apple are already doing this to everyone with a smartphone, so why wouldn't the car manufacturers want a piece of the pie? I don't like it either. Free apps aren't free. I'm waiting for the day when all cars have over the air updates that can brick your car in your...

Everybody thinks the bronco in the Zoolander movie was a jeep, but it's not.

On my 2015 wrangler rubicon (JKR), the rear shock and control arm mount got a piece of shaped and folded 1/4" steel welded to the underside for skidding over ricks near the inside of the tire. The front lower control arms got the same treatment. The front and rear diff covers got changed out...

Tesla is not for me. I don't want a vehicle I can't work on where an OTA update can brick the car in your driveway resulting in a tow to the nearest service center and loss of the vehicle for two weeks or more.

I hope so. I still will not buy anything GM, and fiat-chrysler is fiat-chrysler.

I've posted it here elsewhere, but my 2012 Focus Titanium, 2013 Explorer Limited, and 2015 Mustang GT all had mechanical failures and electronic issues in the first 50,000 miles. Compared to my 2003 Cobra Mustang, 2002 GT Mustang, and 2010 F150, which all had zero issues in the same time frame...

It has a 16,000rpm GSXR750 four cylinder. It would be around 120HP, but the exhaust probably knocks some of the top end off. Here's a youtube video from an old gopro (sound is bad/loud inside case).

I've got a minibuggy I built as a project years ago. I took it to the UP of Michigan in 2012. Other than running around farms for novelty, it hardly gets used anymore. Maybe once a year I fire it up and take it around the block, illegally. Most offroad parks have 15mph speed limits. Guys on...

What you said. I went out and bought a 2015 JK Wrangler Rubicon for $30k. It was a base, no bluetooth, no u-connect, no power nothing, but it had the rubicon package and the alpine speaker/amp upgrade (well worth it). I immediately started rock crawling it and offroading. All I had to add at...

I got a new daily driver to help keep the miles down on the wrangler. It's my third STI, but my first bought new. Not that fast, but they'll drive down the road very well. Previous blue 2005 model:

Maybe I could trade sell my JK Rubicon and F150 for a Gladiator... Nah, I need to tow heavy stuff and don't want an ADD front axle or the 3.6 pentastar again.

I bought it from Bill Collins Ford in Lousiville, KY with a ~$2,500 rebate and the x-plan due to a cousin who works for Ford. Two years later I bought a 2003 Cobra for $31k when Ford started selling SVT cars with rebates for the first time around Labor Day 2003. I also used an x-plan on that...

I hear the new corvette is coming with encrypted canbus communications and codes that change with each cycle of the ignition. Someone said something about tuning the cars costing five figures due to the security for OTA (over the air) canbus hacking. When all the cars go over the air updates...

I've been using $120 Chinese LED headlights on my 2015 JK Rubicon Wrangler. They're 100x better than the stock headlights, and I really like them. In wet snow though, you get about zero headlights in less than two miles of driving. If I lived where it snowed often, I would look for stick on...

It will be interesting to see if Ford makes the same mistake with the Bronco.

I paid $19k for a new 2002 Ford Mustang GT Premium. Today it's around $37k for a 2020 Ford Mustang GT Premium. However, the 2002 GT had 260HP. The 2020 has 460HP. There are a lot of nice features and government mandated crap in the 2020 like TPMS, ESS, etc. Prices have inflated, but the...
