    This is pretty funny

    Too bad you didn't see her do it. Then you could have given her the note back and said you like to torture animals and women also. I love when people try to impose their morals on you.

    Dealer markups against the law

    considering all the ones being built for 06 AND 07 are spoken for already including overcharging, they could have easily increased production by 50% meaning if they are making 10k they would make 15k..... not a tremendous difference...... HOWEVER if this line is that small and geared up to only...

    Dealer markups against the law

    lol, I am going to resist taking this into politics. I think the abundance of dumbasses in the US makes it possible for dealers to charge whatever they want, because there are just enough dumbasses to pay whatever the price is. Does it make it right? No. Should it be illegal for dealers to...

    I think you're right, they were just both so boring that I grouped them together.

    Dealer markups against the law

    I know how it works. They tell the suppliers to increase parts production, then they add shifts on the line (my father worked at a GM plant that was run at full capacity about 20% of the 27 years he was there). One reason they don't like to do this is they have to pay a premium for night shifts...

    What ifs.......

    in addition, when they finally redesign the XJ, it looks the same. A car that was first introduced in the 70's and has gone through many redesigns since, and you redesign the entire thing to be exactly the same. WTF?

    What ifs.......

    lol, thanks, wanna leave a deposit on a V10 boss? :D Ford has done wonders with Jaguar. Jaguar has been acting like it has been lead by a hungry retard in a candy store. First, they turned quality around to acceptable levels, mainly by the help of Ford. Second they invest billions into...

    Dealer markups against the law

    this is an ugly part of car sales where dealers do not understand that they are hurting the company by only selling to those who will pay way over. If, for example, the pontiac dealers sold all Soltices at sticker and sold all their alottment in the first few weeks, GM would have upped...

    What ifs.......

    oh, I was talking about their "sports" car the XK series. Even the 390 hp XKR was auto-only.

    What ifs.......

    May have been a conversion, which runs about 9000 just for parts minus the trans itself. Some company in Germany makes it. I went with a friend who was looking to buy a new one a few years back and I asked the sales manager, he said it was not offered in manual. Plus I have looked for them...

    What ifs.......

    I understand the current situation Ford is in better than most, this is why I brought it up (that it could be done with less). Like I said I work in the industry and know what it'd take to do it internally, and what it'd take to do it with vendors..... I don't think the inline six would...

    What ifs.......

    Ford has dumped tons of cash into the Shelby GT500 project, and in turn rumors have been rampant about them dropping other special editions such as Bullet, Mach, etc..... Back in 1984, Ford got some of the biggest gearheads together along with some highly paid turbocharger experts, and...

    Power numbers released for 3.5 V6

    Any definite word on when this will be in the stang? 09 would be great, but it would make the 05-08 V6s a red-headed stepchild.

    93 2.3 wheres the fan switch?

    Replaced the temp sensor and rewired the fan (was rigged when I got it to run off the Wiper motor hot lead), but fan fails to come on. I know it works because I tested it. So where is the fan switch on these things?

    help me with my brakes

    Ok, I swapped to Ranger Rotors out front and drums in the back in order to swap to a set of 1995 GT 17s I had. The end result is that the car has horrible stopping power. I am looking to upgrade to 95 Cobra brakes. I know I need SN95 Spindles and will be getting new struts. What lines...

    sounds like the Mass Air Meter. Mine was doing the same thing, it will throw all sorts of ugly codes because it throws off everythign else by tellign the engine the wrong amount of air is going in, resulting in too rich or too lean and then you get anything from O2 sonsor to knocking, and...
