I'll be damned. That's my car, all right. I'm surprised they're trying to auction it. What could you even get out of a total burn like that besides scrap metal?
I got a kick out of the listed exterior color of "GRAY"
Preliminary talks with the insurance has them pegging the car's value at 46k, which seems a little on the low end for a Track Pack car with Nav and the Shaker. (Edit: just a hair over 8k miles on the odometer)
Am I right to push for a little more? It seems lower mileage TP cars are going for...
I appreciate everyone's kind words. It's definitely a difficult time to be sure. I agree that in the end it's just a car. It can be replaced and I fully intend to do so when the time is right.
Both the car and homeowner's insurance (Geico and State Farm respectfully) have been great to work...
I guess I'll start off by saying I've had my 2014 GT500 since the day I drove it off the showroom floor back in September '13. The car was always a blast to drive, and I loved rowing the gears through an aggressive pull or just simply driving her casually down the road on the occasional commute...
I'd wager you're probably referring to Northrop. They are aggressively expanding in that area. I still technically live in Melbourne, although I'm working up here. I had no trouble renting out my house. The local market is exploding, which might make it hard for someone in your position to find...
Something that worked for me that you could try is white noise. I had issues when I was younger with falling asleep and hitting REM. And then on a whim I started using a stand fan that produces a good drone to try and drown some of that out.
Since I started using a fan I've had no issues, save...
Not a truck, but close enough I figure. I run Hancook Studded iPike RW11s on my Transit.
Fun fact for anyone who might be looking to get one of these vans: there is, or was when I looked a year ago, no winter tires that exist for the rim size that are rated for the load the van requires. I had...
My employer likes to bounce me around, and it's taking a toll for sure. For instance, I am on swing shift tonight and tomorrow, but then transition to first for Sunday and then back to swing on Monday. It's really tough to lock in a sleep schedule when I'm constantly being shuffled around.
I...
Was 23 when I bought my 2012 GT. I remember very distinctly that feel when I sat in the driver's seat for the first time. Was amazing, because until that point I'd only been driving a 2003 Ranger 2.3L stick shift (where I had to take my shoes off to hit the gas hard enough to get up to highway...
The P71 was a great daily driver. I'd still have mine if I hadn't moved out of state. So easy to maintain, too, with that swimming-pool-sized engine bay.
Sorry to bump an old thread, but I wanted to ask the same question. My car has been in storage for roughly 9 months (In Florida) prior to me flying home for the holiday this week. I took it out and drove it for a few days with my nGauge showing similar spark retard to the OP. Here's what I've...
So I had a rather unpleasant neighbor come out and yell at me tonight when I was walking my dogs. I honestly was caught by surprise.
Her issue was that I had let my dogs mark the street light pole that sits at the edge of their property. To set the scene, I was walking on a public sidewalk...
So for the past 3 months I've been working in Anchorage, Alaska. It's a decidedly odd situation, since it's technically a field assignment that is considered temporary. In this case I'm slated to be up here for 6 months, but I know that's not going to be the case. The odds are actually in favor...
This was a nasty wreck given the circumstances, and easily avoidable. I'm very surprised how much damage the GT500 took from hitting the truck sideways like that. Thank god the guy didn't have a passenger.
**From the video description**
Warning:
This video shows a high horsepower Shelby...
TLDR: 2015 Transit is a nice jack of all trades option for towing/hauling/long distance travel.
Just my review on something a little different...
After getting back from my field assignment recently, I found myself needing a new daily driver. I had sold the Crown Vic thinking I would be out...
Jesus don't get me started. Try working for the government. We're building our code on their live network, testing it, and upgrading it while live traffic is passing on the satellites. Goddamn nightmare.
I'm currently working on field assignment in Anchorage, Alaska. My employer has made it clear that they wish to keep me here permanently, which requires that I move. Long story short, If that happens I will need to drive from Melbourne, Florida to Wasilla, Alaska. 4,775 miles in the dead of...
Subarus are everywhere up here. Almost every other car. It boggles the mind. And yes, they are the worst lot on the roads, especially after the first snow fall we just had.
Recently I purchased a dash camera for my daily driver, and was planning to buy a second for the GT500. I went with a low profile model given the appearance of my Vic, so as to avoid looking like a LEO more than the car already does.
The reason I got one was because I liked the idea of having...
I grew up with this guy's commercials. You haven't lived until you see a fat guy yell and do cartwheels to try and sell you a car.
