i fucking wish my ford was as good as ford fanboys tell me it is.
owned it for 3 weeks before it was in the workshop twice for spitting all of its transmission fluid out. damn things been well serviced as well, because it was fucking fresh transmission fluid it spat out. and apparently its got more power than my commodore did. which is great, but either i cant find it or im just not noticing it. damn quiet tho and the climate control is nice.
I hear this a lot. Ive owned fords. Maybe ibjust total the mustangs before they go bad. For trucks are good for the farm though. Never had problems. Transmission goes out if you run it into the ground in a field
im in oz. heres the thing, and to start off with, i need to give you an expression 'you go into a new pub and think, im going to eat something different for dinner, you look at the menu, look at the specials board, and order the parma, every time' even when parma is average, its good.
Holden Commodore (chevrolet ss then pontiac g8 for a while, my last car) is like chicken parma on wheels. you test drive a bunch of cars in a dealership, but if youve already seen the commodore in the corner, youre buying it. even with the head liner sagging over your eyelids and the door carpet over the handles, that fucker is already going faster before you put your foot down.
Ford Falcon (probably closest to Crown Vic) is like driving a fucking beige cardigan. looks plain as fuck on the inside, usually the carpets and shit are good, but shit like cupholders are 'maybe we should put one of those in there. oh now we need to hide it somehow' - you put your foot down, and its like 'sigh yeeeeeeeeeeah, okaaaaaaaaaaaay, ill go quicker' you go to slow down, and no shit, same thing 'yeeeeeeeeeeah, ok, ill slow down.' does it, but whiny as all fuck.
think this is the third 'falcon' ive had, this ones a fairmont, same body and engine... but its got a button to move the pedals backwards and forwards and theyve all been average to crap. only upside from my $800 taxi yellow 88 falcon that got written off by a pensioner and paid out $3800 because the rims said 'ghia' fucking dont know why people buy them, and people doing burnouts in falcons is just as confusing to me as people popping monos on harleys, i know its possible, but how the fuck its done is beyond me.

I know this. I actually knew about this scam for a couple years. I also know that it's illegal in places which require it. Which will be everywhere soon enough. Definitely not buying a cucktruck if that's the case.
been mandatory for heavy transport vehicles in the UK at least since i was over there early 2010s its just being forced on private cars here apparently.
In commiefornia it's illegal to sell or buy a diesel without a DEF system. Plus those vehicles regularly have to go through a computer controlled cycle where the engine revs up and runs for something like 5 minutes to flush out the catalytic converter and you're basically fucked and stuck where you are until it's done

Very good as a weed killer also, have tried it personally and can confirm it's the best weed killer I've ever used.
Nissan had some issues with the Def storage tanks that was a very expensive repair , moral of the story don't get one. My trusty old 2008 that doesn't have a dpf or any of that modern shit is still running fine and I will keep up with my regular maintenance until it becomes not cost effective to run, fuck em.
LOL... I actually stared blankly at your reply for a few seconds, praying that it was just irony... It's all good though! You salvaged it with this follow-up post. You're still the Man!
No worries, you'll sleep it off, and be good as new tomorrow (or later today depending on your TimeZone. I think I'm heading to bed myself... Cheers...

I am almost positive, if you get one that predates the regulations, there is nothing they can do about it.
I know of one company in the midwest that refits Peterbuilts with new old stock engines to get around the rules.
