When I turned 16 I got new rollerblades. I crashed a lot too.

I don't car camp, per se. But we did take our bikes out for a long weekend. A nice campground is cheaper than a hotel and bringing a car means we can take more food and water.

Rims look dope

They did the hose fix for me. If the rdu starts to go again, I'm getting a gearbox and ecu from a salvage fwd Escape. ? I never need awd anyway. Actually the torque converter is starting to act weird too so it might not be a bad idea.

I love the outdoors and hiking but zero interest in brining a car there. Just need a box on wheels that is as engaging to drive as it is practical. I don't really mind the 1.5 or smaller engines in general. As long as they keep the cars relatively light weight with good steering.

That's why I loved watching Top Gear. No advertisers. They would be critical of a car even for a joke. There was one time a manufacturer couldn't take criticism and took them to court (Teslarrrr)

First thing I drove was a horse pulled cart when I was a kid. Then I drove a forklift for years before I got my driver's license at 31. I mostly learned with my first car, 2011 Fiesta 5 speed hatch. My only preparation was playing gran turismo and forza motorsport. ?

Sell to Carvana offer went up 3 grand in a month. Wild.

Lots of hot takes here. Yes, USA will fall behind but that's nothing new. We will continue making cars that only other Americans will buy. Ignorance is bliss. Personally, I am not too jazzed about EVs but for different reasons. I'd rather be on a bus or a train like when I am travelling...

They replaced mine at 66k miles. If they think a certain share of water pumps will last past warranty, then there won't be a recall.

That's a deal breaker for driving on the NJ turnpike. ? Everything I hear about the new infortainment sounds like a step backwards.

I leave it on the 2nd closest setting for highway use. The closest setting is still too far for city traffic. I wouldn't get anywhere with people constantly cutting into the gap.

If it's a manual so you can push start it. A battery probably won't work. And maybe a diesel so you can run it on vegetable oil. It's not like you can fill it up at a gas station. In these hypothetical situations I would rule out cars completely. I can use my bicycle to travel hundreds of miles...

Average age of a new car buyer is about 53. Low price and perceived safety is a big draw for the "my kid turned 16 and i want them to be in something safe" Fatalities both inside and outside the car are trending up overall. It's the highest now in 15 years.

The dealer replaces batteries? Mine failed like 3 weeks after a dealer service showed it to be normal. I swapped it myself. It was like 60k miles, though.

The hybrid ecoboost 1.5 and 2.0 are Changan Ford. So who knows if they would ever make their way here.

This might be crazy but perhaps the US is not competitive in making cars within the free market capitalist world economy. China makes 30 million cars a year. That's 3 times more than US. It's more than every other country combined. They probably just got good at it.

My friend messaged me today to remind me it's a 23 year anniversary of our friendship. Back on that crazy awful day we stuck together to figure out how to get home after school. The A train ran under the buildings and those tunnels collapsed. We walked the city to look for a working train. The...

We got cheap gas and drive long distances. It's a hard proposition for majority of Americans.

I did the pads and rotors myself and went with a different brand. It stopped whining.
