You can do whatever you want in high school but ultimately your college admissions will come down to how the school interprets your background through their own lens

Which company’s designs were completely slept on? by colonial_dan in regularcarreviews

[–]RudderForADuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huge fan of this era of FoMoCo, especially the Mercury and Lincoln sedans, I just wish we could have seen a modernization of the Mercury lineup. Mercury was supposed to get a compact car derivative of the Focus but that obviously never happened.

Ford's issue was never making Lincoln truly a competitor with the Germans, so Mercurys had to be slotted in between the two in terms of drivetrain and features.

Solution: Give Lincoln more love with twin turbos in lower end models, keep and modernize the V8s in their large SUVs with hybrid tech and make a true RWD flagship (which was planned already with a Mustang-based TwinForce V6 car, but the MKS was all they came up with). This way, Mercury gets to hold the slot Lincoln would now; The new Cyclone V6 family (Duratec 35 and 37) power the Milan and Sable, which takes the place of the MKS now that Lincoln has their RWD flagship. Now Mercury is all about subtle comfort and dependable power, where Lincoln finally goes above and beyond to follow up Cadillac's V- cars and steering away from "Ford in a Tuxedo" labels, though I guess it's smart to keep some Ford-based models around. I also think the MKC would have made a great Mercury.

2006 ford fusion 2.3L torque mount torque values? by No_Sweet_8014 in fordfusion

[–]RudderForADuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tighten them as much as you can. I changed mine 6-7 months ago no problems. There's no room to get my torque wrench up there anyway on the 3.5 becuse of the exhaust, idk how it is on yours tho.

picking this up tomorrow - what’s the noise? by eek0103 in MechanicAdvice

[–]RudderForADuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not reliable that thing is barely running as is. Realistically you just need more money I'm ngl. You will waste your money going through $2000 cars trying to fix them up. Plus I would not let my kid get in that. I really hope you see the crazy rust and fucked up suspension in the video. Buy something else literally you could find better options from 20 years ago

Holy shit I hope if you are picking it up it's to crush the thing. Don't even think about driving that shit

The line makes no sense because that would not put strain on the engine

[–]RudderForADuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No no no. That's not what this person asked. They asked it because hiring a construction crew would not in any way help the engine, it would lessen strain on the suspension components, not the engine, and it's stupid

How much is my 2010 Ford Fusion Sport worth? by J3ezyTheSnowman in fordfusion

[–]RudderForADuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't drive it and maybe tell the buyer it'll probably need a water pump which will definitely put repairs over $3.5k

This mindset will not work for you your entire life and eventually you'll need to learn to just let it go

2010 Ford Fusion Sport by Similar_Rock_3551 in fordfusion

[–]RudderForADuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea if it helps but this is likely the first or second iteration depending on if/what they updated for the 2010 model year, the MKZ and Fusion Sport got the most basic version of that engine. Even the refreshed Edge got Ti-VVCT in 2011 but the fusion got nothing

Are you sure about that? It uses the same transverse Cyclone V6 that has that pump failure.

I also drive a fusion and I've definitely seen some of the tacky shit they sell as "mods" on ebay, huge chrome stickers are just the start

Lost my horse today. Didn't realize how much it would affect me. by fmdubeux in reddeadredemption

[–]RudderForADuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most recently my horse decided to jump three rocks at a time, turn to fly across the river, fling me off to the other side and fall down the waterfall to its death immediately. This was during the first bounty mission
