    brand new car urge

    I would still order a car from McMulkin or Ciocca and go get it. Like I said local dealers are generally shit unless you happen to have a decent one(pretty rare IMO). Nobody has an allocation that they will claim to have. McMulkin and Ciocca have the allocations and can actually get cars...

    brand new car urge

    If you want a Z06 order from McMulkin or Ciocca and either fly up and get it, do courtesy delivery, or do museum delivery. Local chevy dealers for ordering a $150k car are fucking useless... I bet here in Dallas we got 50 Chevy dealers within 150 miles. There is exactly ONE that is worth a...

    Buying a plane after retirement

    Ive never flown a 152 under max gross... me and my instructor + full fuel(the fuel gauge in a 152 is a suggestion, only way to know if you have gas is top it off) we were ALWAYS overweight... never killed ourselves... We did weight and balance once, looked at each other, and promptly burned the...

    Wasnt thinking you were a dick...more like a mouth breathing cock sucking moron... but I digress.. And its funny you think "gapping rings, putting better exhaust valves and better springs" in a motor is "how to mod the engine to last"... LOL... I could list out my road race motor build with...

    What's the best weed killer?

    ACTUAL glyphosate... 41% or stronger... Mix it yourself in a 1 gallon garden sprayer... I guess "roundup" isnt glyphosate based anymore... The other thing would be 24D, again mixed yourself. Its broad leaf weed killer. Less harmful to you than glyphosate. Works on weeds. Doesnt work on...

    brand new car urge

    When did I say basically "purposely break things" as you are insinuating??? I didnt. I have said many times FORD will honor the warranty with their blower package on the car. FORD has a lot more experience and engineering into that to say "we will guarantee this for 3/36k"... My point is if...

    Not sure what you mean by fixed roof coupe. You have targa and you have HTC i.e. hard top convertible. My car is a targa... I have zero rattles or squeaks out of it. Noise from the targa complaints exist, but they are far far far down the list as far as people's gripes about the car. The HTC...

    If he buys new, has a 3/36k on the power train with the blower...who cares... yea its a pain in the ass, but its literally warrantied... Sounds like your ass hurts because you have a blown up 5.0 with a whipple... bet the dealer is completely covering it under warranty right??? And there is no...

    There are literally a ton of people who have proven that they last quite a while at that power level... Again if he's going to go beating on the car constantly I dont disagree with you that a built motor is the better way to go, but for the occasional blast, it'll be fine and there are tons of...

    You didnt read what I wrote or even do a single second of research of the topic at hand. I literally posted a link to the kit, you could have easily clicked on it. Ford/Whipple sells a kit for ~10k plus install that pushes 800hp and retains 3/36 powertrain warranty. They sell a stage 2 setup...

    Talk to Whipple and see what it takes to retain their warranty... NOW they may be owning the power train and Ford owns the rest of the 3/36... I dont know. https://whipplesuperchargers.com/i-2609-whipple-superchargers-s650-stage-1-gen-6-3-0l-supercharger-kit-powertrain-warranty-2024-2025.html...

    You mentioned an engine family and how modable they are... I did not mention an engine family OR making mods... I was talking about convertibles... Is there a 2 series/M2 convertible? No theres not... So therefor... M4...fucking....convertible...is a fat pig... Stop convoluting the...

    Not the same platform... at least not officially. Gen 6 Camaro is Alpha platform. ATS and CTS were Alpha platform. CT4 and CT5 appear to be their own platforms from what I can tell. I could believe the CT4 could be Alpha(or like a gen2 Alpha platform), but the CT5 is a decent bit bigger and...
