TST podcast is basically all I’ve listened in my home gym for the last three years. The crew shows with Matt & Zach are my favorites but Doug/Cammisa are my favorite guests. I find the Lieberman episodes to be the absolute worst.
Anxiously awaiting both of the Goosemen to be on together one day.
The newer trucks have DFM which can disable individual cylinders depending on load where the old AFM system just shuts down four at a time.
Honestly all of the modern V8s and boosted 6 cylinders are more than powerful enough for a half ton. Just get whichever you like the best they’ll all do the job fine.
Right. That’s why there are pictures of all the cars besides the F150 and Subaru in the same driveway.
The previous owner probably couldn’t get them fixed. GM flat out refused to fix and couldn’t fix issues with my Silverado and Blackwing so I got rid of them. I’m sure their new owners are fighting GM to get them fixed.
I drove two of them. They do not compare well to these trucks from behind the wheel. Very disappointing.
What an insightful contribution. Thanks. I learned a lot.
The lifter tick is why I finally traded mine it. It started knocking bad on cold starts. Dealer wouldn’t touch it until the lifters fully collapsed lol. They were telling me there was a 3 month back order on lifters and they don’t do loaner cars.
My only experience with a current gen Ram is a rental I had. The 5.7 is a dog compared to the 6.2 and 5.0. It rides better than both of these though. Drives more like a big car than a truck.
Seeing a TT RS was always a treat because it was so rare. RS3 drivetrain with 300 less pounds to lug around.
Not really. You’ll probably piss a lot of people off though. I would recommend not flashing your brights at people. A lot of people take it as an insult and will either go slower/not get over or road rage at you.
Mine was a Corvette. I bought a C7 two years ago. It turned out I didn’t really enjoy daily driving that type of car and also Just didn’t enjoy it as much as I though I would. So I sold it. I’m thankful to have owned a Corvette though.
Right now it’s a 718 GTS 4.0. Although I’ll probably settle for an SS 1LE unless my wife or I gets a major increase in pay.
The M340i was extremely disappointing to me. It put down all the numbers everyone raved about but it was completely sterile feeling with zero feedback or road feel. It’s what I imagined driving a Tesla would be like. It was a very nice car. Just not the bargain M3 that so many reviews claim it is.
I had a non comp F87 as well. That thing felt so much faster than it’s 365 hp rating. What a great car. I miss that thing.
There’s never been a 6 cylinder Soul.
I like a large, responsive touchscreen. I much prefer the 12 inch in my truck over the 8 inch in my Forester. Although the 8 inch was much better than that godawful screen in the Outback.
Other than that, wireless CarPlay, adaptive cruise, physical climate/seat heater controls, a competent stereo and a well sorted automatic if I can’t have a manual. Rev matching if it’s a manual.
Other tech I’ve seen hasn’t wowed me enough to want to pay extra for it. I appreciate the automatic high beams and wipers, but if I could’ve deleted them and saved a few hundred bucks I would have.
I had a few manual cars with electronic parking brakes. I actually prefer it over the levers. I can’t understand why people like them.
Last gen Tundra/Tacoma or a gas F250.
