How is 1mph over even enforceable, all Speedos are around 1.5 to 2 mph out anyway.

I'm sure road safety is going to be just great with everyone glued to their dash clocks instead of the road ahead.

yet another reason for driverless cars.

elon musk please hurry and save humanity. thank you.

Mine is 4mph different. On the street cameras that tell you your speed, It'll say 30mph but my speedo says 34mph.

I don't see what the hell is wrong with the current speeding laws we have.

F150 isn't bad but suspension and steering components in their Japanese counterparts tend to be a bit more refined. Just look at something like the Tacoma which for all tents and porpoises is considered to be a better truck. Both by market value and value retention

One of my neighbors bought one couple years ago and the blue on the Ford emblem is already fading. Wtf is that cheap shit?

have they started putting lockers on their off road package yet? LOL

>didn't want to give the vin
why would you even consider that car then?
the minute the DM reg that car, it would probably show up as stolen.

>>17071554
It's from a local dealer so I doubt it's stolen. What I do is usually go straight to notary when I decide to buy a car. Is there a better way?

>>17071554
NO you fucking idiotic sheltered millenial

If you want to label yoruself as a supporter for the cuck who lost WW2, sure

That seems difficult for the usual system of shafts and forks. You could do it in a computer-controlled automatic I guess but then why even bother?

no but if I did I'd shoot them

If it is someone else's car in the apartment complex, then I don't want to get involved. They will key my car in revenge for reporting them. That's the problem with today's people. If they don't get the death penalty, they will get revenge on witnesses. So many witnesses never come forth due to the fear of being penalized. The apartment manager doesn't bother protecting witnesses or anyone in general.

For the record, "Corinthian Leather" is a meme created by Chrysler.

Why aren't there any v7 engines?

v6 engines are built for space saving and fwd cars aka compromise engines aka cuck engines

the old style of V6 was just a V8 sans two cylinders, so it was balanced horribly.

American V8s make as much horsepower as you're willing to spend money.
Straight 8's don't exist anymore because of mainly packaging reasons. They're both very tall and very long engines that don't fit in a modern engine bay. /o/ will claim it's because of the torsional vibration boogeyman but a stock straight 8 will never flow well enough to reach an RPM where the block is totaled.

A lot worse than an FF or AWD vehicle

if your car is really low to the ground you'll suffer from snow getting stuck under your car and potentially getting you stuck

Not very difficult or dangerous if you have good winter tires, a lot of weight in the trunk and some some sort of limited slip.

>>17075052
I daily a 306 horsepower RWD with all-season tires and it handles couple inches of snow just fine.

This car is everything that was wrong with domestics in the 90s, and it just won't go away.

If it's $50 and you intend to beat the crap out of it until it fails spectacularly then go for it. Otherwise, you have no soul.

Get a civic for 3k instead

i own an 02 wagon with the vulkan engine, it actually rides quite well and it's easy to repair and do work on. I would recommend if you get a really good deal and bookmark the taurus club forum for future problems.

Just so you know, you will never be able to upgrade the stereo with this car, so if you don't like what it's got, move on

>breaks

it's brakes, dude

>>17074432
one of the massive advantages of driving "stanard" is that you can engine brake.

and no, you should always remain in a gear unless you are eco driving / lazy.

>>17074432
i used to leave it in gear till the rpm dropped down to around 1000 then downshift i'm in 3rd or higher

I always wanted one of those Turbo AWD Mazda 323s. GLX were they called?
