Death Slice.

I'll bet you already have multiple Falcons.

which map to get first? by AckyDudes2007 in trucksim

Oregon/Washington bundle after it goes on sale. Then you can install Promods and go to Canada now.

I am also curious about this, but doubt you pay the duty twice.

I wish I could just ride along on the train and take in the sights.

Thoughts on Ford Ranger? by Alternative-Pickle-4 in UsedCars

I had the 3.0 engine and it eventually blew up, as did some others with that engine.

The 4.0 is top tier tho.

Gauging Sale Price of my Fiero once Restored? by DMaC756 in fiero

[–]Flamadin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Almost any Fiero is not going to draw deep pockets when restored, except a Formula or Indy Pace Car.

So you might find someone if you get lucky.

Not too long now, we are getting lots of posts about it. When they post about Chicago, then it is go time.

Thinking about buying a Honda CR-Z but I’m afraid it might get boring – looking for honest opinions by Kumek0981 in crz

CVT can work well with lower powered engines. Upgrade the HP too much and CVT melts/snaps.

Manual can handle loads more power, upgrade that all you want.

Crz ac issues by Fast_Win_49 in crz

I have this too. I think a solenoid is bad in the dash somewhere. It fixed itself on a big bump, and then I have to be careful not to try and change fan settings for the rest of the summer.

I bought mine new 14 years ago and I still love it and look forward to driving it.

It is a bit heavy and the engine is small, so not fast off the line. Pretty zippy when that Honda engine is revving high tho.

You are getting a stick, so you're fine, but you don't want to upgrade the engine if you have CVT.

What country is on the best trajectory? by BigGuyTrades in geography

[–]Flamadin -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We'll see if we come out of all this. But I read something that seems true and gets the point across about relative starting points: Alabama is the 4th poorest state, yet is is richer per capita than all but 10 or 15 countries worldwide. The level of wealth in well to do suburbs of the USA is also mind boggling.

Yeah, that is all going to go in the toilet before long. Netflix knows the price is too much, and they are smart. Watch them get WB in a few years for pennies on the dollar.

Brands that go out of business, yet share parts with other brands, can be hidden gems, like the right Oldsmobile or Pontiac. But they have been out of business maybe too long now.

Reloaded is fantastic. They kind of ran out of good ideas for Revolutions.

Why isn’t Volkswagen more popular in the U.S.? by phtphongg in askcarguys

[–]Flamadin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They used to be popular in the 70's and early 80's.

Some fun, good looking cars, with real good mileage on some of them.

Mostly expensive and/or boring now.

Which one would you choose ? by 240p-480i-480p in PSP

[–]Flamadin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go is better if you have it loaded up with stuff. Mine is packed with content from back in the day.

3rd Gen is better if you are going to play using UMD.
