When I was younger we sold the bed cover because we had no use for it. We normally use it to haul garbage to the dump or pellets for our pellet stove.* And leaves. So many leaves.* *The truck, obviously.
I have an interesting theory: Many people experience worse motion sickness riding an EV compared to riding an ICEV, a possible reason is that the driver unconsciously hitting the accelerator harder due to the lack of engine noise.
convince me this isn’t the best car ever (besides maybe the AMC Eagle) -it has good fuel economy -T-tops -performance -style -awesome interior -80s only negative is it’s FWD, but if it was RWD it’s fuel economy would be worse.
It's a dodge I'm pretty sure so... Hellcat swap (with RWD)? It would be faster than a regular Hellcat because it doesn't seem like Challenger levels of boat.
TBH, I'm not shocked. It's actually pretty logical. Unrelated, but just found out yesterday, there's a factory mustang powered by a diesel powerstroke V6 (3.0 V6, turbocharged, sounds like a JDM car). I can't find much on in online, but it does exist.
even though i don’t like the fascia on this one, it’s still cool ya know, Mopar sold RWD conversions for these --- Post updated --- Why tho
It’s pretty nice. Well, the C/S (Carroll Shelby) version has stiffer suspension, so it’s harsher, but the normal version is pretty nice.
Technicaly, old cars were more reliable for a SIMPLE reason : they were simple. Just a powerstrain, body and interior and they didn't had options . Citroëns from these Times were made for bumpy road : the 2cv is impossible to flip over and the ds had a pneumatic suspension that sorta worked like today 100 000$ suspensions on modern trucks
I'm surprised anyone else actually knows about that. From what I remember, the kit was supposed to take a 360ci V8 and a TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic, but I assume it could be adapted to other Mopar longitudinal-mount engines and gearboxes. It reminds me of what I heard before about Chrysler not being able to make any more V8 passenger cars ever as a part of their bailout. RWD swaps are not the easiest thing in the world; I've heard of AWD Honda Civics but usually rearward power transfer is a capability that has to be baked into a design from the beginning. The original K-cars (Daytona/Laser is a shortened derivative), based on when they came out, were likely in development during and maybe before bailout negotiations. It's a short leap from there to wondering if the K-cars were originally intended to be a lot more fun than they ended up being.
Alright, have I ever told y'all what my dad's car is? (No I haven't) Well, my dad's car is a 2013 Ford Focus hatchback Titanium. He has removed the badges (because why not). It has aftermarket rims and lugnuts, a Focus ST exhaust, small skull decals, and the subwoofer package. Aftermarket tint was essential. It also has a GoPro mount attached to the side. It is FWD, but somehow he can whip it around in the snow. Also traction control almost injured us, but that's a story for another day. He actually went to Tim O'Neil rally school to take their snow driving training in this car. If y'all want to hear the story about traction control, just ask.
