Go find a '99-'04 SVT if you have to have an IRS mustang. Unless your pockets are so deep you just don't give a fuck, then, by all means, hack up a GT500.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/Favors/comments/pdeyk/im_on_my_way_to_the_hospital_to_get_screened_for/c3oj04whttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/Favors/comments/pdeyk/im_on_my_way_to_the_hospital_to_get_screened_for/c3oj04w2012-02-06T14:18:04.650193-07:00-0700My mother was diagnosed about 2 years or so ago. It seems people have very different levels of symptoms with MS, but she mainly has balance issues. Trouble walking on un-even surfaces has been most obvious, she can't walk down a sandy beach with out someone holding on, yet can make it across a paved parking lot pretty well. Standing for long periods is out - so she has a hard time kicking ass in the kitchen like she used to. Consider the good vibes sent -http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/LifeProTips/comments/pcgf8/first_world_problem_solving/c3ohesjhttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/LifeProTips/comments/pcgf8/first_world_problem_solving/c3ohesj2012-02-06T11:59:58.411673-07:00-0700Good plan - resale on Wranglers has always been strong.

The engine in the '12 is a honey. Nearly 1/3 more power AND better fuel efficiency. I love that new interior though, so much nicer than the '07-'10 JK.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/Portland/comments/pd95n/anyone_in_pdx_wanna_get_breakfast/c3og7e4http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/Portland/comments/pd95n/anyone_in_pdx_wanna_get_breakfast/c3og7e42012-02-06T10:07:18.642043-07:00-0700Stuck at work... sipping crap coffee...

The 3.7 was in the Liberty. The new Pentastar motor is a HUGE improvement. I will say, I'd love heated leather in my 6-speed Wrangler, so I can't fault him at all for having it.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/LifeProTips/comments/pcgf8/first_world_problem_solving/c3og0nahttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/LifeProTips/comments/pcgf8/first_world_problem_solving/c3og0na2012-02-06T09:48:40.996253-07:00-0700'11?!?! Why U No Wait for '12 285hp Pentastar V6? I mean, I know that new interior is pretty sweet, but that wheezy 202hp 3.8L boat anchor under hood ruins the vehicle... In my opinion... But then, I'm still rollin' the 4.0L 190hp/six speed straight six in my '05 TJ Wrangler. I heard there were some stellar deals on '11's though, hope you got one.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/cars/comments/papl1/what_makes_the_ford_f150_so_popular_in_north/c3ofkxbhttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/cars/comments/papl1/what_makes_the_ford_f150_so_popular_in_north/c3ofkxb2012-02-06T09:03:13.912643-07:00-0700Perhaps, on an Audi or something, but a base model full size American pickup? I was suprised, these features were on the XL work base model F150. For being a stripper, it was a damn nice truck.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/cars/comments/pa9lg/new_subaru_brz_ad_217/c3nx8x8http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/cars/comments/pa9lg/new_subaru_brz_ad_217/c3nx8x82012-02-04T14:45:02.157578-07:00-0700I picked mine up about 3 years ago, and have put about 10k on it. It's a quite the little rocketship, and I dig the recaro interior. Comfy. Mine just hit 62k miles, and it's about as mint as these get. 62k on a nine year old performance car isn't to shabby. A quick eyeballing of the SVT Focus market, and I should ask about $8500obo for it, but I'll let my pops buy it for $6000. [There's an identical one to mine, a year newer, with even lower miles for $10,500.](http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/2817509643.html) It hasn't had it's bumper drilled either, same as mine. I don't run a front plate, and so far, no cops have even raised an eyebrow. But one of the great things about the SVT, especially in silver, is it blends right into traffic... doesn't draw attention. Only car geeks notice the subtle performance cues that give it away. To everyone else, it's just another focus on the road.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/cars/comments/papl1/what_makes_the_ford_f150_so_popular_in_north/c3nx5jyhttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/cars/comments/papl1/what_makes_the_ford_f150_so_popular_in_north/c3nx5jy2012-02-04T14:34:49.106985-07:00-0700Good buy, I've not seen a decent Ranchero for under $3k. I'm lookin' at '67-'72, and just haven't found the right one for me.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/cars/comments/papl1/what_makes_the_ford_f150_so_popular_in_north/c3nwvc7http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/cars/comments/papl1/what_makes_the_ford_f150_so_popular_in_north/c3nwvc72012-02-04T14:03:28.080229-07:00-0700The '05's and newer are really fantastic vehicles. Reliable, comfortable, easy on the eyes, and very capable. I really like them. And the newest '11 and up F150 sport some pretty sweet features, like electric power steering, capless fuel filler, the coyote 5.0L V8, and the Ecoboost V6. The '11 F150 I drove also had a cool turnsignal switch, it doesn't stay "down, or up", nor does it crunch like breaking a chicken bone with every use. It centers after use, and the light blinks until you make the turn. My first couple of turns, I acctually thought it may be broken. Then I realized, it was awesome, and I was an idiot. So nice, it's the little things that make a vehicle. The '97-'04 F150 however are truely awful trucks. Crap interior blended with Styling by a blind man, and the earliest Triton engines ('97-'00) should be avoided like the plague.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/cars/comments/papl1/what_makes_the_ford_f150_so_popular_in_north/c3nwrwihttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/cars/comments/papl1/what_makes_the_ford_f150_so_popular_in_north/c3nwrwi2012-02-04T13:52:58.595345-07:00-0700I'm just here to say I envy your Ranchero GT.

So, I loaned my Father my SVT Focus for a week while I used his Dodge Ram for a few chores. Not only did he not want to give it back, he informed me I'm not allowed to sell it, to anyone but him. They're addicting.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/carporn/comments/pallm/my_sunday_ride_cant_wait_for_winter_to_be_over_to/c3nwfo4http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/carporn/comments/pallm/my_sunday_ride_cant_wait_for_winter_to_be_over_to/c3nwfo42012-02-04T13:14:00.247783-07:00-0700This is one of those times where my mother's voice pops in my head... If you can't say anything nice.... don't say anything at all. Kidding, enjoy it, you can have a lot of fun with a boat like that. I used to roll a [1969 Mercury Marquis Brougham](http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/2/3960/2381/22398690039_large.jpg) 4 door hardtop. Boat was hardly the term, more like aircraft carrier. 429ci 4bbl, C6, 9" rear, and enough room for everyone you know. It was a fun car.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/carporn/comments/pafcm/best_shot_i_got_at_this_years_rolex_24_at_daytona/c3nwdnphttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/carporn/comments/pafcm/best_shot_i_got_at_this_years_rolex_24_at_daytona/c3nwdnp2012-02-04T13:07:20.411180-07:00-0700Nice work.

Take it out to a park, or something and do some nicer pics. Shoot a few angles, and a decent background make any car look much better. That driveway shot makes the Mustang look sad and depressed.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/carporn/comments/papjz/my_1969_barracuda_340s_and_i_taken_in_front_of_a/c3nwbgvhttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/carporn/comments/papjz/my_1969_barracuda_340s_and_i_taken_in_front_of_a/c3nwbgv2012-02-04T20:00:39.750457+00:00-0700Great car, I always wanted a 340-s 4speed notchback version.

Startles me, and I know it's coming. Made my friend's kid run out of the room first time he heard it. But I don't think it really can translate to recorded audio, it's a rather viseral sound event.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/cars/comments/paey5/a_jeep_wrangler_jk8_the_one_thing_that_keeps_me/c3nvasdhttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/cars/comments/paey5/a_jeep_wrangler_jk8_the_one_thing_that_keeps_me/c3nvasd2012-02-04T11:06:33.529106-07:00-0700I keep thinking about turning my 6-sped '05 TJ into an AEV Brute. $9k for the conversion kit.

Sister, you said it. Fortunately I moved out of the inner SE off Morrison, which is where my vehicles were regularly ransacked, to a lovely little shack in felony flats, just south of you.

But here's another GPD story - Once, my car was parked on a steep driveway in Gladstone. We were at the front door of the house, when we heard a loud snap. It was the parking brake failing, and the car, still in gear, began to roll backwards. Nothing we could do but watch, as it shot down the road, going backwards with no one in it. A neighbor lady was blindly backing out into the street in her new VW Passat, and WHAMO, my car absolutely destroyed the rear of the VW. But, was it over? No, my car then changed direction, and wiped out the left side of a 1 year old Ford Taurus. Bust. So, the lady in the VW was fine, I walked over to the house with the Taurus - a family of like 10 were just sitting down to dinner. "Who owns the blue Taurus?" I ask, and out walks uncle Bob. A huge guy. I thought he was going to scream at me, but unexpectedly he starts howling with laughter. "I've hated that fucking car since the day my company gave it to me. Everyone else got loaded Accords, I got the Taurus." Then he says - "Let me call this in, I gotta get an official report for my company." What I didn't know at the time was, when he called it in, he just said "We got a 3 car accident here", and of course, FIRE, ambulances, and the police all show up code 3. Super. Also arriving on the scene was the husband of the Passat driving woman, who'd just gotten off work. He was ballistic, screaming at me, and at the cops to lock me up, take my license, etc. Officer House had heard enough, backed him up against a car, and informed him if he didn't shut the fuck up and go in his house, he'd be spending some time in the back of the squad car to cool off. I've never loved a cop more. In the end, I got no ticket, insurance covered everything. Everyone was fine, and everyone went home. But ever since, everytime I saw Officer House out on his bike, I'd wave, and he'd wave back. Story over.http://www.baconbuzz.com/r/Portland/comments/p75ce/help_me_find_my_shitty_car/c3n8xzhhttp://www.baconbuzz.com/r/Portland/comments/p75ce/help_me_find_my_shitty_car/c3n8xzh2012-02-02T11:57:44.652736-07:00-0700WHY do they always steal and/or destroy prescription sunglasses!!! I've lost 2 pairs over the years, once they were taken along w/ Ipod ect. The other time, the crim just crunched them up into little peices, and left them on the drivers seat.
