I live in the UK, and drive a 2013, Camaro SS, as I hate MustangsFor some reason people hate my car, but I love it, and it is my best carI have owned, of all I have owned including American ones. I had a windshield washer pump go, which was China garbage, butgot another OEM Delco, for only 15(delivered)Car was far superior to a Mustang, in the looks, until they brought thatuglier new shape out in 2014, which also coinsided was a massivesales decline to the Mustang. Everyone keeps talking about Mustangs, and my car has even been called oneThe only other issue I have had is two people knocking my wing mirroroff, in one year, and massive price increase, in that timeIn 2018, it cost about 72+20 customs, from the USA(UK dealer price-156, and this year, the cheapest US price was 253, with the dealercharging 550Heated glass was made in Mexico, which is better than China.

can guys stop winning that stuff comes from china = bad. This is just not true. The only thing you could argu is scammers and that kinda stuff. If a brand designs products in the use but makes them in china it all depends on what they set as quality. And if you buy directly from china price vs what you get is way more important then in the EU. You can buy a JBL speaker from 300 but for the same quality from china for 150 easy. Or a screw driver set for 4 dollars. But if you get like the xiami wiha set its like 15 euros yea really get a great set. Price there is just way more important or how i like to see it. Way more realistic pricing.

Honda fits are very good. I get asked all the time what kind of car it is, they cant tell when they look at it. I tell them its a Fit, and theyve heard of it, just never considered it. The first thing I do, is show them it has an actual arm rest, then I open the back and show them the fancy magic seats, show them the fuel economy, listen to the engine, tell them about how the gas tank is under the front seats. They love it, I actually had someone buy one after seeing mine heh. They arent the best one a spec sheet, but living with one, they beat everything by a mile.

Scotty. Ive got a 2015 Dodge Ram 2500 6. 7 Cummins and a 2016 gmc 2500 Duramax both with over 300, 000 miles that I use for hauling oilfield equipment split between highway and off road well site miles. The only maintenance I have done on my current fleet is fluid changes, ball joints, brakes and shocks. It is time for us to purchase new trucks and I would like your take on the Ford F-250 diesel as the prices are starting to come down in comparison to the gmc and dodge. Are the fords known for reliability? What do you suggest? Thanks.

Hey Scotty, I got a 2012 Ford F150. I am trying to remove my tailgate so I can replace it with a rust free one (thanks midwest and Canada where the truck came from. I can get the passenger side off the hinge, but the driver side will not budge. Ive applied PB blaster and took a torch to the hinge to try to break it free, and Im holding the tailgate at a 80 degree angle like the owners manual says to remove the tailgate, with no luck. Any suggestions?

As a follow up to the first question, What would you have to say about the dreaded engine tick that seems to have been a constant problem of the 5. 0s after the 2018 overhaul. Seems to be decidedly an engine issue. I understand the issue with the improper shift fork design for the 3rd and 4th gears of the manual is a transmission issue but the tick thats common in the engine seems to suggest some weaknesses in the engines themselves.

I remember reading the nightmares some manual owners had to deal with on forums. It was hard to feel sorry for them because of their blind elitism. I saw the 6AT was made in America, so I gave it a shot instead since I really wanted a S550 at the time, and it ran solidlyIf you want a Manual Mustang, either get the GT350 (Tremec is niceeeeeee) or buy a S197 because theyre still fine.

Alot of Mustangs (especially ones with racing stripes) are failing because they are being driven into curbs sideways by speed racer types who dont learn how to do a doughnut in an empty parking lot before trying to show off for their friends. Ive seen the videos. Young (sometimes older) dude with no skills finally gets a car with some good power and cant handle it.

Its sad to see how Ford and GM have sold their souls to cheap Chinese junk in their cars. A Mustang with a V8 or V6 should have a heavy duty 6 speed manual transmission. I mean, its a race car for crying out loud. Its going to be interesting to see how the Fords with the new 10 speed automatic transmissions report to holdup or fail over the next 10 years.
