Please tell me you didn’t pay a shop to top off your coolant?

The first 10 pax positions at an autocross are typically separated by a few tenths. i’ll take the tenths. I’ve been an autocrosser for getting close to 40 years now and did track days when I was younger. This is the first performance car I’ve owned with an AT and I won’t go back. But thats...

CA people should just keep a loaner pool. Use as needed then on to the next villain, I mean enthusiast.

Not sure what makes them bad but the Verus plates reuse the factory strut bearing. If the noise really is it the strut bearing this is not going to help. I also had what sounded like clunking from that area after installing springs. Turned out to be the upper sway bar endlinks. You know...

No one gonna ask if OP looked at the car before purchase?

You win the internet today. Maybe for the week.

Looks fine to me.

Do a search. There’s an older thread from a couple years ago where someone did this. I think the results were excellent. Can’t remember how that poster stripped the finish but if you find the thread might help you.

Well, that was, something.

And this right here is exhibit A as to why an “out the door” price is not how you should look at buying a car. Every state has different taxes and fees. And sometimes there are even differences between counties. The price of the car is the price of the car. Doesn’t matter if it’s an out the...

That’s fair. I can’t fathom paying more for a 5 year old car than it cost new. That just baffles me. Unless it’s a garage queen with few miles purchased as an investment. To each their own I suppose.

Well, there is the cost of admission factor. I mean the extra $50,000 or more it takes to acquire the P-car will certainly buy a lot of consumables…

That’s very close to my set up. I also have an MST intake but that does nothing but make cool noises. The only other difference is I have a JB4. I had the DP on for a short while before adding the JB4 and a custom Jesse map 6. The car ran perfectly fine. Couldn’t feel any difference power...

A while back, there was a car parked in our office complex lot that hadn’t moved in like two years. I called the city to inquire about there possibly being back property taxes on it and perhaps acquiring the apparently abandoned car by paying the taxes. Two days later the car was gone. Not...

Agreed. It’s still just a price though. Where it could more important is when people want to know if such and such “out the door” price is a good deal or not and they want to include everything. Taxes, add ons, doc fee, DMV fees. Everything. You simply can’t do that because most of those...

I get what you’re saying but that is still just the price you are paying-assuming you are willing to pay for those add ons/accessories. When I buy a car, I require them to give me a completed purchase order. That’s what I agree to pay. If it has stupid shit on it I say no and if we can’t...

Half serious/half joking comment: Is there a different price if you buy the car but it stays in the showroom? If it never goes out the showroom door. I just don’t understand why so many people are hung up on an “out the door” price. Can you imagine how confused the Walmart cashier would get...

My reading comprehension is just fine. You completely misrepresented your situation. I simply pointed that out.

Two friends I autocross with both have had engines replaced under warranty for failures on track. One was a C7 Corvette Z06 (be easy on me Razor!) and the other a Mustang GT350. The GT350 had two engines replaced. In both cases the dealer and Ford/Chevy were well aware of how the failures...
