It's not really that hard.  Assume they mean the worst and you'll be close.

Worry if they say it smiling.

Worry more if they aren't.

Of course the wife just brought me two nice samiches in my Man Cave so I should shut up.
shutting up works best for me

Ain't that the truth talk about beating a dead horse or milking it for all its worth.It reminded me of politicians  hogging the floor of congress and go on one of those long winded diatribes to block the opposition from speaking

The drop top is nice to have in CA  We drove across the GG Bridge with top down and that was pretty neat.  We drove around Lake Tahoe that way and it is nice.  I had rented something else but Enterprise didn't have any so she was offering me an upgrade like a minivan, and I said "How about the Mustang over there?" and she bit for a modest upcharge.

The drop top can be a problem here in CA... It's hard to avoid sunburn! I've got a Jeep Wrangler and the wife and I were out a bit this weekend, and I got a little charred.

Well if you were in LA you're tied up in traffic so the 6 or 8 banger wouldn't help anyway

I had to go to LA to see a customer today [60 miles, aka a 2 hour drive]. I need to swap pads and rotors on the front in my Ford Flex, so I was in the Jeep... I put the top up. 

Only issue, of course, was that it's a manual. So there was a LOT of clutch as I fought through traffic...

new redshirt rules went into effect. The new rule, allowing players to participate in up to four games while still maintaining their redshirt status, also means the travel roster is getting a bump. Announced Monday that the Big Ten will officially go from a 70- to 74-man travel roster this season to compensate for extra players that might play.

I don't thnk l can enjoy driving nearly any 4 banger.   The high pitch wheeze, generally feeble torque, some exceptions .  Car rentals suck for this reason.  I remember when i test drove my car in a 4 cyl 2.0 vs the 6 3.0, I didn't leave the dealer property before returning the 4cyl. I do a fair amount of interstate driving at 70+, I'd hate it.  Of course I also hate the giant V8 SUV my wife drives though for different reasons.  Having said that, I'm roughing in an electric car charger in our house we are building.   Seems inevitable.

Wsj had a somber piece on the death of the sedan last weekend.  I'm not a gearhead but I do secretly want to buy a modest classic muscle car.

I've been thinking about buying a Corvette.  Always wanted one, haven't had one.  I gotta do it soon or I'll be too old to get in and out.

If I buy something it's going to be a daily driver and the Vette just isn't very practical for loading and unloading golf clubs.

I'd like to test drive one for a week to see if I could make it work.  No one wants to loan a guy nicknamed Fearless with my past record a car like that.

Not even my dentist - and his mostly sits in storage.

I'm selling my 95 Jeep GC for $750.  Any takers??  I like my new little hatchback.  Makes a lot more sense in the city.  It even has air conditioning!

4-wheel drive?

I'd take it if it runs and drives decent

too bad it's a bit too far to transport

Do it!!! When my wife went back to school, I downsized my car payment and hated my Ford Fusion. Really went the opposite direction after she graduated and driving to and from the office is changes my mood at work and I get home. Worth every penny. You only live once.

I'm used to 4 cylinder turbos.  The wife's Caddy had one with 295 ft-lbs of torque and I thought it drove better than the V6 in that application.  The current car is a GTI with a 4 banger, also 2.0 L, and it goes pretty well, doesn't sound great either.  The Mustang was "OK", I suppose I expected more from that engine.  The V-8 is worth it for the engine noise in a Mustang.

The good thing about turbo 4s is their torque which usually is better than an analogous V6 and flatter on the dyno.
