    '06 Stang vs. Mazda 6

    Haha really? You aren't kidding? Does your car run? Does he want you to drive in reverse? I think even if you stalled twice at the start, you could take him down in a quarter mile.

    Greenway Ford service drove my car over 200 miles!

    The government mileage reimbursement is around $.58 per mile. That's a pretty darn good estimate of the added wear and tear. Don't let this drop. If the dealership's higher ups or owner keep ignoring you, do what Darkfire mentioned. Complain to anyone and everyone that will listen. Send...

    Thinking of getting another Mustang

    If you are worried about previous drivers running their car hard, your best bet is to try to buy someone's car who ISN'T an enthusiast. 99.9% of us on here have drive our cars hard maybe not all of the time, but at least at some point. What types of things are you looking for in your next...

    2011 Mach 1

    I hope they come out with a good special edition. I'll be ready for a new car early next summer, so the question will be go with a preowned 2008 luxury sports coupe (S5/M3) or maybe save a few bucks and get the special edition mustang. I'm watching the rumors closely!

    Shelby GT

    If you don't care about handling, you'll outperform the Shelby GT with an aftermarket CAI and Tune. Their tune is mild, bringing the advertised HP to 315, whereas most people claim a more aggressive aftermarket tune will bring in more horsepower than that. GreyDiesel had a pretty...

    this is why we can't have nice things

    I bought my first mustang brand new for my first car. It was keyed two seperate times in the high school parking lot, then like you, was hit while parked and I needed a new bumper and fender. The lack of respect people have for others' property is amazing. At least I had got a free cobra bumper...

    coasting downhill in neutral...

    I always read in all the car magazines that all modern cars can recognize coasting and nearly completely shut down fuel flow, making it more efficient to stay in gear. They recommend doing this, and they don't mention why it might damage the engine or transmission. As far as damage, I'm not...

    Guy I know breaks Camaro record

    Wow, that is pretty impressive, especially considering it is over a 3800 lb beast. Any idea if he was at stock weight, or did he do things like remove the rear seats and whatnot?

    Radar Detectors Are Now Worthless

    Does anyone else use the mobile phone application Trapster? For those unfamiliar with it, it is an app that allows you to report live speed traps and get alerted to others' reports as you approach the area. I use it every now and then, but NEVER rely on it. It has correctly alerted me a few...

    Car Show Results

    Congrats! Your car looks great from your sig pic. The 2010 Camaro probably just won on the novelty of it being new, so theoretically you took 2nd! By the way, what does "stock" mean for that car show if your car qualifies?

    More people talkin ****

    I guess the one good thing about the GTOs is they are holding their resale value. I was seeing them for pretty damn close to $22k NEW after they had been discontinued. Used ones were that or less, then I stopped paying attention.

    Special Edition 05-09 Mustangs

    Do you mean special editions just from Ford's factory? Because then the list is a lot shorter. There is no Cobra for the 2005+ Mustangs - some people refer to the GT500 as the Cobra, but it is not.

    More people talkin ****

    If they keep talking trash, just ask the GTO owner why if his car is so great, they no longer make them and had to give away half of the ones they did make? As for the Charger, I actually think they are pretty cool looking cars. But everyone that owns one seems to think they are significantly...

    Happy 4th of July

    Happy 4th everyone (albeit a little late now). I just got back from a night of watching the Washington DC fireworks display over the monuments. You can't beat that for getting a patriotic feeling.

    speed guidlines

    Keep in mind the Autobahn and other roads like that in Europe are maintained significantly better than anything here. I like the idea of staged speed limits, but it would obviously be impossible to implement. It would need to be a combo of car and driver skill. An idiot piloting a Ferrari...

    Financial hardships...It is all going...

    Credit checks have a very minimal impact on your score when used properly. An excessive number of credit checks will make your score drop noticably though. If you are going to buy a car, there is absolutely no harm to your credit score by shopping around for a good rate (this applies to all loan...

    Financial hardships...It is all going...

    Plenty of people are making more money. Anyone working for the government, such as yourself, gets a raise. Lucky people in the private sector get one too. I work for a major international corporation that is coming off of one of its best years ever (no, not an oil company), and I was just...

    I hate owning GM

    The government owns shares of GM which has taxpayer money sunk into it. While we don't "own" it in being able to sell it whenever we individually choose, we, as a group of taxpayers who don't get to make our own decisions, do own it. If GM fails, we don't get our money back. Also, without...

    Financial hardships...It is all going...

    Who says a 2008 is brand new? You also don't know much about his financial situation. He could've done a good job preparing for something like this in the past and left himself with plenty of savings to cover expenses, and doesn't need to go crazy with cost cutting measures yet. Skunk, I'm...

    I hate owning GM

    Not sure how a Corvette can be called overpriced when it outperforms any stock car on the road until you double its sticker price. But that's another arguement. Let's keep in mind Ford CHOSE not to take bail out money. GM and DC aren't really getting free money from the government. It is more...
