I'm surprised that you know what a parking brake is given all the automatic transmission cars you drive

I know you know better than that.

My car is in the shop, I'm in shifting withdrawal.

Had to drive wife's car and my left foot was all "WTF is this shit" and then I had to go to the city and almost tolerated it. Almost.

I've really been thinking about getting a Mustang. My wife's kind of getting into it lol.

New is out of the question because the market is f***ing bullshit. I'm specifically most interested in one with the Tremec golfball because that tranny is godlike.

Hey, the new Mustang it hot, good timing for getting a new one. Would mean you skipped the crap Ford Fusion (from the front, Audi TT in profile) looking one.
Otherwise, look for a used one 2014 or earlier.

I hope you have better luck than I’m currently having.

Ordered a BMW I4 M50 and was told to expect 6 months for delivery…it has since been 7 months and no timetable on delivery

Update: dealer called and the car is now in production…will arrive in 2 months

 

[TaLoN]

No surprises yesterday. Other than everything being cheaper than expected.

So my parents are going on an Xmas trip up north to see family. Expecting lots of snow, so I offered up my rig and my dad says he'd feel safer in his Rav4

 

[TheAngryHank]

Bought a new lid for Christmas

 

[HansonBro]

Got my dad one of those unlimited car wash cards today for Xmas. What blew my mind was it was an idea from one of my gf's. My dad is impossible to buy for, but this makes perfect sense

And....i can use it too

Ok now I'm gonna get in trouble... an old ex of mine called me up lastnight. We sat in the truck for a couple hours over a beer or 2 and then decided to go out for a pitcher of beer.... Holy fireworks

Jinx threads are real boys

Efficiency in the hybrid has gone down the shitter. Dash was reading 44ish consistently. Filled up over the weekend and so far the tank is reading 33. I suppose for the size of the car, 30 is still pretty good. The v6 Journey I had was so much better in the snow, with what felt like twice the power, and would return 25mpg all the time, up to 30-32 on longer drives.

Battery life falls to shit in the cold. I used to own a plug-in hybrid and my range would drop by 50% or more.
