I've thought about getting a used Shelby down the road. The nice thing about the gt350/gt500 is they appeal to such a wide audience with just two variants, one with the old school analog route, the other is the track car that throws down the insane performance numbers. I'm leaning towards the 350 just because it's less intimidating, but I'm nervous about the reliability of the voodoo. But I have heard later model years of the gt 350 were decently reliable, just seems like one of those types of cars we're never gonna see from Ford again, at least with that sort of character and engine type.    Enjoy your cayman, I've heard really good things about those, the chassis is apparently next level. Cayman owners also seem to be more enjoyable to hang out with than some of the 911 crowd. 

This is before my time, but my parents also used to talk about how back in the 80s and early 90s, manuals often had better long term reliability than autos as well. This no longer seems to be the case. 

Keep on replying and proving my point. 

Anyone know why the 2025 expedition tremor doesn’t have rain sensing wipers as an included feature or option?

Manuals are great fun on winding mountain roads and mostly a PITA everywhere else.

We have a 2022 F450 Super Crew 4x4, it has a much shorter  turn radius due to the different front axle which makes it pretty nice when parking, it is very noticeable. The ride on ours is amazingly good for such a heavily sprung truck. I believe the brakes and axles  are bigger than a 350 too. I also notice that we don't get pushed around by semi's when they are passing us as we did when we had the F350. The biggest downside to me is the rear axle  ratio, it gives you all kinds of towing power, but the mileage isn't as good as the 350 was, but it isn't our daily driver so i can live with that. Tires will be more expensive to change out due to size, but, all in all, we love the truck.

From what I remember he trusted his subordinates who either lied to him or took too many risks on the cutover timeline.

Manuals were better when automatics were slow with only 3 or 4 speeds.  With 8-10 speed autos that shift quickly and only rob 15% of engine power plus dual clutch auto manuals that are even better manuals are strictly for fun.     When I ordered my boxster the PDK was the only choice for me.

Yea, both Farley and Musk are having their companies assist the authorities best they can. The telematics systems from both the F-150 Lightning and the Cybertruck should provide lots of helpful data      

Very interesting, but it is a vehicle specific to the Asian market.
