I know. If I had a little more dispossable income at the moment, I definitely have a Ranger parked outside my apartment.

Why can't you daily your stang?

The distance he drives kills his wallet on fuel costs. He drives from Frisco to I20/Wheatland Rd almost every day.

I want a truck for other purposes than strictly having another vehicle to drive. Hauling a dog in a car like this isn't exactly ideal, although I do it, and so does Ryan. But having a truck allows for much easier things to be done, not to mention to take out and have som fun with offroad, which the car definitely can't do.

maxpayne 10-08-2013 12:34 PM

Wow. Damn. Completely understandable. I feel lucky now having to only drive 12 miles roundtrip Monday through Friday. But, my next mod for my 5.0 will be a cheap and used daily car. Like yall, I hate puting miles on my car.

DirtyD 10-08-2013 12:40 PM

I drive 12-15 miles one way to work, depending on how traffic is that determines which route I take. Doesn't count any other driving outside of my commute.

LOL! Tell me about it. A truck is a MUST have in my opinion. I have two kids with all their stuff (bags/strollers etc) , a wife who shops and a dog. If it wasn't for the truck, our dog would definitely never go anywhere because its not allowed in either of the Stangs. All of that nasty dog hair and smell is not allowed in the Stangs, that's just nasty! All of my gear for training/lesson appointments. On family weekend trips we easily fill up our Explorer (its a 4x4) with all of our bags, suitscases and the kids stuff. Been thinking about getting a Eco-Boost Explorer but considering stepping up to a bigger truck like a Expedition or Suburban/Yukon XL for the more room.

I learned long ago that you shouldn't race your daily driver. It's just too much hassle and stress if you break it or put too much wear and tear on it being your sole source of transportation. If you can't afford a second car, chances are you can't afford your racing habit.

There are days where I really miss having my truck. I had originally planned to keep it and the Mustang, but it didn't pan out that way. I typically am able to keep Tucker's hair under control in the car, but when the windows are down, which he loves, all bets are off. Haha

I highly recommend that you wait until the next gen F-150/Expy are announced next year. You will kick yourself now if you get a 5.4 3V Expy. My mom got one. It's great SUV, but if it didn't have the 3.73s that come with the tow package, it would be an absolute dog to drive with the standard 3.31s. Other than that, great car. Don't miss our old E-150 custom at all.

This is exactly why I've been reluctant to go out to any track days. After seeing Don wreck his car, I really just can't risk that, as much as I would LOVE to go out every weekend and enjoy some 1/4 mile passes.

leaning towards the zero interest but calling insurance today

Why not buy something used and cheaper? I had a 96 accord and put tons of miles on it and never had a problem.

Reliability. Even a bullet proof used car can have issues.

re-rx7 10-08-2013 01:06 PM

Even a new car can have issues?

New car will have a warranty and a loaner if something goes wrong. Nic had a cheap Honda beater that blew up on him.

I've got a loaner with my car. Maybe it's a dealership thing, but you can get one.


Ever since you decided to sell your car you've been on this import kick again. Which is fine, do your thing, but keep your bickering to a minimum or just take it to RKC if you can't get along.

Jeus christ you have a short fuse with me aparently. Cant get along? What happened to debating? Which is what is going on here. I asked why he wanted a Fiest. He said his Honda was crap. I retorted with most hondas are solid? Im not just a import Guy Ive looked at Fiesta St's as well.

This isn't a debate. Ever since you decided you are going to sell your Stang you've been back on your pro-import kick again. He isn't interested in why you think imports are better. He's formed his opinion based on his experience with his Honda. He's decided to go a different direction and you want to argue about it. His opinion isn't the same as yours. Just let it go.

Id take the lower APR route depending on how well they keep value. Find a pre-owned Fiesta that way you get the pre-cert warranty.

2013 GT Premium w/ Recaro Racing Seats and I think it's the optional California package rear wing everything else is stock. $295/month @ 2.55%APR for 6 years but I pay $325 so I should have it paid off in 4 1/2 more years.
