Man its difficult to nail down and buy a decent vehicle...

I want something I can put the wife and kids in and still go have fun in..Either 4x4 fun or speed fun or both.

I don't need any more cars, have enough of them.

ha, I dunno about that, she put up with grocery shopping trips in the bridgeported FC with the non synchro crash box in it. And it was a 40 km round trip.

Funny story, when her Mom came over from Japan to visit us, I took them on a 3 day sight seeing tour through the mountain resort towns, in my 85 power ram, shod with 35's and sporting a built and headered 440. Her Mom thought it was the greatest sight seeing vehicle she had ever been in. We covered about 1200 km's, not one complaint even though it rides like a buckboard wagon.

We need an awd suv/4x4 or something in this neck of the woods, car don't get very far in winters sometimes. My rx-7's are basically driveable here for about 5 months out of a year if lucky.. Right now I can't even see one of my cars, its just a big white snow blob out in the yard.

I might go drive one of those Lexus 470 things, even though they are uglier than sin.

Thinking about buying a Ford though is like trying to Fap to a picture of Roseanne Barr.

ford has come along way, and if you will be spending alot of time in the car the sync system is fantastic

quality is way up, I really like their line up of cars right now.

I was only in a SHO once, a customer of mine has one, pretty impressive inside.

ground clearance cant be worse then a SRT8 jeep

The big Lexus SUV is damn ugly. Do they still make the RX330 or 350 or whatever? That one was a little funky, but I could actually see myself owning one.



I want to like Ford. I'm impressed as hell that they made it through the "crisis" without a bailout, and their cars look good "on paper", but DAYUM are they UGLY! The only one I even remotely like is the Mustang, and I just don't need a car like that. Fusion isn't too bad, I guess. I wish they could make a pretty car.

Ford made it by dumping brand stock, before the market forced them to.. If GM would have done it sooner, they probably would be in the same shape as Ford.. Not better product, just better management. And Remember , they dumped their Mazda stock.

But deep down I never really liked any fords, they seem to **** up every vehicle by doing it 50% perfect, and the other 50% completely wrong.. Look at the trucks, great chassis, good axles, nice interior, then **** motors, bad suspension and steering links, overated power numbers, and mind numbing bad fuel mileage. And yes their styling sucks ***...

Like I said before, not interested in any more cars at all.. 6 is enough...

The big toyota/lexus is really barf on the outside, but looked in one today, nice interior...

The other thing that looks kinda neat is a lifted Wrangler rubicon with a 6,1 litre hemi swap,
