I was on the interstate tonight (I4 for those of you that are in tampa) When a 2000 V6 Mustang does a ricer fly by on me...So im down for some fun, I let him know i wanna play and I end up like 3 car links ahead of him and can see that hes trying to catch up ( i was at about 115) then all of a sudden, i look in the rear view and see him pulled over in the emergency lane and some smoke coming out......That is so pitiful for a brand new car! Just another reason I hate Fords

Yea, domestic is crap....

I thought import would be good so I bought a max. It's been in the shop for a week now for the check engine light, noone can figure out what it is. Now they think it's the ECU. So far -$750 and counting. Oh, and my $17,000 V6 Mustang is doing fine, thank you.

Maybe you need to take it to a different shop. If they dont know whats wrong with it, why let it sit there and charge you more $$$.

Don't trust porsche?

I thought someone took a porsche 911 turbo that was basically stock and won a 24hr rally event? Isn't porsche the company that says you can drive the car as hard as you can for the entire duration of a gas tank and the car will thank you for it? Porsche is supposedly the dream car of people that like to just go out and tear the sh** out of their cars. Now, if you forget to do basic maintenience, like oil changes, it will prolly be a POS...

Taking to a different shop.....

Well, it's at the dealer. Courtesy Nissan in fact. I'm not knocking them because they're doing everything they can to fix it. They even have a call into Nissan USA's tech line and they don't know what it is either at the moment.

You're right, that is pathetic.

Ya, when it comes to SUV's domestics are #1. But thats SUV's...when it comes to Mid size cars etc...Imports are #1 (and thats all that matters )

In my opinion, I HATE corvettes, I think it might be because of who is USUALLY driving them. Theres always some Old man with a BIG gold chain who rolls down his window when he pulls up next to me at a light. Like I am gonna talk to him just cause HE thinks his car is bad...uuuggghhh
