    Tempted to buy a mach-e gt

    I agree with this. I technically had the nicest car in my high school. I was not spoiled, nor were were rich by any means. But my dad and I bought a 1969 cougar for $500 when I was 8 years old. Took us 8 years, every day and night to restore it and complete it by the time I was 16. The amount of...

    https://jerseyeveningpost.com/motoring/2022/04/01/no-fatal-crashes-in-volvo-xc90-since-2002-release/ looks like it is a UK stat. But it is still the safest care on the road anywhere in the world.

    ya our last xc90 was a great suv for us. This one has a bit more options this time, better color, and were hoping it will last us 10 years or so.

    Tempted to buy a mach-e gt

    Well..... I didn't buy the Mach-e. I just couldn't come to terms with going full electric. We ended up getting a 2021 Volvo XC90. We have had an XC90 before and absolutely loved it. One cool fact is that to date, no one has ever died in an XC90 crash. So there is a lot of peace of mind with...

    Tempted to buy a mach-e gt

    Thanks Nick, truly appreciate the help and insight into the cost. I guess I just thought that they would want to move it since its been sitting on their lot so long and most likely losing money the longer it sits. I feel bad for the sales guy. are they really only making a $250 commission on...

    Tempted to buy a mach-e gt

    Honestly I wouldn't mind buying a used Acura RDX, or CRV, but the wife really liked the mach e and got attached pretty quickly. We live in a remote town, and there are about 11 chargers in town here. But our daily driving literally consist of taking our kid to daycare and that is it. If we didnt...

    Tempted to buy a mach-e gt

    Car shopping for my wife since a deer totaled out her volvo xc90, we went to the local ford dealer to look at a used nautilis and aviator, and im just not going to flipping pay $70k plus 6% interest for one of those turds. As we were leaving, I told the dealer to humor me and let me drive a...

    96 SVT Cobra Wheels

    call me old school, but I hate black rims on white mustangs. I think chrome rims look best on white. Or white rims really make it pop. If I were you, I would go with some mach 1 rims, or some knock off saleen rims. another thought is the 1993 svt rims. I dont know if you follow MerchantSVT on...

    4.6 4v Teardown & Build Thread

    While the motor is being built, I decided to buy some refurbed mach 1 calipers, paint them black and add the Saleen decal to it. I think it turned out halfway descent. Thanks to 98 svt for making the decals!

    4.6 4v Teardown & Build Thread

    Thanks! That’s good to know! I did buy the MMR delete plates. This makes me feel so much better about the swap. Hopefully with upping the compression it won’t feel that flat down low. I also bought a set of 4.3:1 gears too. Your car looks beautiful too!! I think you should go with the white...

    4.6 4v Teardown & Build Thread

    Ya the reason I went white is because of the white car. I was worried about them getting dirty too, but I’ll honestly put less than 3000 miles a year on the car. It’s just going to be a weekend cruiser when I get time to take the wife and kid out in it. How hard was it to do the 4V swap? From...

But last night I took off the exuast, and what a POS from the factory. is that really 6 cats on the factor exhaust? goooood lord! I am going...

    Mach460 speaker mod

    I’m adding all new speakers to the saleen, and of course no one makes factory replacement sizes. The tweeter kits you get all require some kind of mod, and everyone I see is people super gluing the new speaker mounts into place. I personally couldn’t stand the idea of hot glue. So I decided to...

    Mach 460 static

    Bought a new head unit and all the speakers and tweeters from crutchfield. Even bought the adapter wire/tuner thing that allows you to connect the new deck to the factory harness. I install the new deck, everything works perfectly, but……I have the most goddamn annoying static noise. No matter...
