Pain in the ass to insert the key compared to my 12 Ram 1500
Tranny seems to downshift to 1st very slow when stopping (at a stop sign for example, where you immediately accelerate soon after). Seems like a .5 second delay. Annoying as hell.

05 Mustang GT. Loving it.
Thinking ahead, I want to see what Ford does with the next F150. The 2011 XLT SuperCrew I had for a loaner was very impressive.

Pah. No such thing as being too old. If you enjoy it, that's all that matters.

Although it's been molested,I still love the sound of my B series Motor in VTAK:loco:
I still have to get rid of it,but i love going though the gears at 8100 Rpms.
I don't drive Tahoe that much because it's pretty much my wife's car.
Whats wrong with the RSX snoop?

blew the motor earlier this month. seeing it sitting in the driveway dead as a door nail breaks my heart every time. but then seeing shots like this sew it all back together.

2010 Nissan Xterra Off-Road

Pros-
Love the way it looks
Plenty of Room
Handles surprisingly well
Good Power
Can drive through any sort of weather/off road/etc.

Cons:
17mpg
Bad seats
Not a sports car

I still love my Xterra, but really miss my old RSX. But the Xterra gets me places in the snow which is 3/4 of the reason I sold the RSX and bought it. I'm trying to convince the wife that a BRZ makes sense as a third car but I don't think she's buying it.

2006 F250 powerstroke. Still love it. No issues, shit tons of power to tow and haul. XL model means stripped down and hose out interior which I love.

1995 Civic EX-T - sat for a year, decided to get it back going, re-did all the turbo shit. Made my own manifold, exhaust, etc. drove it 40 miles and after diag found my oil feed line had collapsed and toasted my turbo. So now it has been sitting since january. I am going to get back at it in the next few weeks and part ways with her. Great car, but time to go. Thinking about getting into an S2K for a toy car.

Not a *dime* spent on it other than regular maintenance items.

It's been a great car. I couldn't have got the same features in another car for under 60,000 $. And it wouldn't have been as reliable, and it might not have had vectoring AWD.

I think the 4G TL is still one of the best buys out there.

You can still get one for like $39,500 with Tech Pkg, SH-AWD, either the 6 speed auto or the 6-6.
