Much more vidially appealing than the Lucid  but as others correctly pointed out, China no thank you ... View more

I use simple green on all my high end wheels and it takes the dirt off instantly without rubbing. Cheap too if you buy it in gallon concentrate. Start with fairly diluted and increase concentration just until it is easy to get dirt off.  Better than any specializer wheel cleaner I ever purchased. ... View more

The Ford 2.3L turbocharged in-line 4 cyl is, in my opinion, one of the worst engines I've ever experienced. I drove it in a 2020 Mustang. I knew within 2 miles why Ford needed a 10 speed automatic.  The torque power curve feels only 1000 RPM wide, so the transmission is constantly shifting like it's on ritalin.  ( I ended up test driving two cars just to make sure one wasn' t kust a fluke.)   Manually moving through the gears will give you tendonitis.   I can't imagine how it would be much better with only a 7 speed manual tranny, rather it will likely be worse with such a narrow torque curve.  The previous V6 that the I4 replaced in 2018 was a far better engine with only slightly less gas mileage but orders of magnitude better driveability.  The only hope is to see if the Bronco becomes available with the turbo 6, assuming the torque curves aren't compromised on that engine as well. ...

You think this is bad? Wait until there are true self driving cars. China can't wait to control its population's mobility including when and more importantly where they can travel, and in the worst case, rerouting them to government offices for "investigation".  The US may not be far behind.  This is a huge issue with networked vehicles that is being ignored. ...

If you can get a Lightning for 15K it likely has 100K miles on it or more.  I just sold a solid #2 with 48K miles at the start of covid to a dealer for $20K, he flipped it to another dealer for $22K and that dealer was asking $25K for it. ... View more

Sorry, but I for one will never celebrate a German car  (the MB here) manufactured in the middle of the Nazi era for the very affluent.  It's none of my business if someone chooses to own it despite its questionable heritage, but another thing to glorify it in shows and articles. ... View more

I for one, am not surprised to see their demise.  Yes, they designed some nice wheels and rode the wave of popularity.  But their customer service was dreadful as was their parts support.   ... View more

I used to take Cerberus, but it always gave me those nagging side effects. When I told my doctor, he said "Let's try Stellantis. It's very similar to Cerberus, but the next generation."  Still. I worry that it's just another repackaging at higher prices. ... View more

I'm frankly surprised that there is much of a market for this stuff.  My assumption has been that most of the guys going for the restomod look spend time disguising most everything including the firewall and want a set of molded covers that make the engine look like something from a 2020 dealership. ...
