Funny one. Did a Reddit on the '11 Ford Fusion. Can have tranny issues where maybe you disconnect the battery or shift R-D-R-D-N etc to reset it. Just move on to a different car hahaha.

I had a 'Fusion' once, worst damn snowmobile I ever owned !

Liked Reddit on Jeeps hahaha. Avoid! I'm cynical so like to read em just for the laughs.

Wish America was better on cars. Feels like we're an SUV/truck nation.

Makes sense. Maybe just find a US car with low miles. Looking at the Mazda 6, but the rusty cross members. Also the 06 Toyota Solara, but eh mid-2000s engine can burn oil. Did test drive a Buick Lacrosse, but way too much luxury plus don't really need a 3.5L engine. The 1.8 Jetta's acceleration sucked. Truck is way too much for my needs.

Just find you a Toyota Camry car they last. And forget big old America cars, unless you just want to resto the car.

A little cool to day at Daytona. Some rain during the 24hrs but it should end with clear skies ( maybe) but really cool ( cold for us locals)

Hopefully the forecast will change by Sat. Last I read, 5 C8's in GTD, 2 of which are the Factory 'Pro' cars you pictured Chris. Also read the GTP Cadillacs are looking good, fingers crossed for both !

Well walking around the garage area, there are a lot of rain tires on stands. No rain foretasted today, kinda windy, or race day, but it will be cool. FYI The first 60 minutes and last two hours will air on NBC. USA, IMSA.TV and YouTube will share the middle portions, Peacock will have the whole race. Oh: Cadillac‘s GTP teams during the Rolex 24; this program is expected to serve as a primer for the manufacturer’s incoming Formula 1 hybrid powertrain.

In Canada we use oil spray from reputable companies like Krown Rust Control or Oil Guard. These oils are designed to spread and to creep into every little crack and crevice. You can use this to undercoat the car without trapping moisture (like WD40, it displaces moisture), but we also spray inside the body panels to prevent the body from rusting as well. It requires annual treatment. It makes a huge difference if you live in an area where salt is put on the roads in winter, or if you live near the ocean.

You know WD stands for 'Water Displacement', right?

I wanna do my own car sale on Facebook. Take some stock photos of a car that had a rollover. But aerodynamic and great on gas. $199

Be sure to show diagrams of the dents breaking up the high drag areas.....I'm sure someone has posted this, somewhere.

I sold my then new 2006 Mustang almost 4 weeks ago, within 2 weeks, at asking price. The car was Ziebart rust proofed along with under body coating. At that time, the Mustang body was all metal. Anyway, after all the Wisconsin winter driving, up until 2021, with early 4 years of winter daily expressway driving , the car was clean. I had 4 Blizzak snow tires. The car was driven year round.

Our then new 2019 Ford Edge, was also Ziebart treated with underbody coating. Ziebart stickers on rear windows.
