So after seeing good points going back and forth on my C6Z thread, I got to thinking. This is a Ford-centric forum and more specifically a Mustang and SVT one. What was the peak of the Mustang? Now, by this I mean stock right from Ford. No mods because that kinda negates things a little. And...

I was out to lunch today and saw a bright yellow C5Z going through a drive through. I thought to myself that something like that would be my #2 choice behind a C6Z. While the C7 is no doubt a bad ride and the look is unreal, I don't think I'd pick one over a 6. I think that the amount of N/A...

By big lot type I mean your Car Sense/CarMax those kind of places. Places that sell everything but have no OEM backing. Background: I'm looking to trade my Legacy for a newer Subaru and have it pretty much narrowed down to a Crosstrek. There's 3 I'm interested in. One that's CPO at a Subaru...

Seriously, though. I never grew up reading comics, watching the shows, none of that. I sat through 1 X-Men movie and when Rogue never got naked I stopped caring other than about the $15 I spent to go in. And now it seems you can't go a week with another redux of Superman, Hulk, whoever else is...

So get a load of this. I'm at work bored out of my skull today when the cashier calls me up front. I walk around the corner to see a girl I dated probably 4 or 5 years ago standing there waiting. Now before I get any further, I (in not so many words) told this girl to go fork herself years back...

First off, my vision is downright terrible. Anything beyond an arm's length away and it's blur. So, needless to say, my prescription might as well be for binoculars. Most people can only wear my glasses for a few seconds before they get a headache. On that note, I have worn glasses day in and...

Yeah, yeah, I know, this is like my 3rd rad thread in as many weeks but direct answers seem to be hard to come by regarding this. I have essentially struck out across the board on finding an OEM between eBay, Craigslist, here, elsewhere, so on. It seems to come down to a Mishimoto, a smaller GT...

Anyone ever done such a thing? I'm contemplating getting rid of my Terminator due to frustration and $$$ problems. I'm sort of thinking of trading both the Cobra and my DD for one new(er) car but also thinking of trading just the Cobra and saying "I owe X amount of dollars. I don't want any...

I have struck out across the board. Aftermarket OE style replacements are all plastic 1" thick 1 row variants and the high performance aluminum ones seem to be either too big or have leak issues. Anyone have a functioning, not leaking OEM one up for grabs? Possibly from a part out?

What do we have and what fits/works the best? I was told my issue is a leaking rad which doesn't surprise me. And before anyone asks, yes I will borrow a pressure tester and check it myself before I spend any $$$. AM has a couple options including a plastic tanked version and the Mishimoto at 3x...

I was fiddling with my car today because I was tired of not doing anything about it after it overheated about a month back. She ended up taking about a half gallon of coolant between the degas bottle and the crossover and I still wasn't done. I heat cycled it a couple times during the burp...

So here's the backstory of my last few months. I started a new job in the second week of January making more than before and by a good chunk at that. It was actually a place I worked at before and they were kind enough to bring me back. I started out all well and good and started catching up on...

Driving last night I noticed that even after the car was up to temp, I didn't get any warm air out of the vents initially. A few mins later it did so I didn't think anything of it. A mile or two up the road it surged a couple times but ran fine after. No lights, gauges read normal, no missing...

Do you guys ever go for an easy kill? Like do you ever get bored or need a confidence booster and decide to pick on the riced out Honda or VW? Or is even cheap gas not worth being used on it? I have yet to actually line up against anyone I knew I could take. I have a guy in a new CTS-V trying to...

In my other thread, we discussed what everyone uses and prefers for a DD. Now let's discuss paying for them. I have always financed a car but am considering a lease next time around. I read that in the long run you MAY end up paying more due to varying interest rates but at the same time...
