I don't, actually. I'm pretty sure it's governed to 180 but tbh the amount of time it'd take to get up that high would make it kind of an impossible goal.

Aw bad guess lol. I know most German cars are governed to 155mph (Audi, M-B, BMW, etc) but I guess I never paid attention with Porsche.

still looking for a new vehicle

I found a good 04 chevy colorado for $10k, only downside being that it was reported stolen on carfax lol

I'd say it isn't bad for only 90k miles

dont get a chevy colorado.  My brother used to work on them at a chevy dealer.  He said they are extremely junk.

get a mid 90's Celica, they're good on gas, good looking, and get you minor street cred if you find one in good shape, the problem is that they are so reliable that they often have 210000 or more miles
here is one i found

HUGE UPDATE:


i made up my mind, a damn fine 2010 ford escape xlt for $11k, going to trade in bessie to cover about $1k and the sales tax

test drove it for about 2 hours, it just felt right

if nothing else, it has a lovey sunroof and pretty loud speakers

might take some pictures soon

I'm actually torn between Chevy and Ford. I'm one of those rare people who shares my love between the two. I don't like that Ford is increasing its Europe-ness in North America though.

Chevy prefs:

Corvette > no competition from Ford
Malibu > Fusion (didn't used to think this, I just don't like the newer Fusions much anymore)
Impala > Taurus (close call, but I like the Impala better now; Taurus SHO will pass up any Impala though)
Volt > C-Max Energi
Colorado (newest model) > F-150
Tahoe/Suburban > Expedition

Ford prefs:

Fiesta > Sonic (I hate the Sonic)
Focus > Cruze (both are ok, Focus is better)
F-Series as a whole > Silverado (hands down)
Mustang > Camaro
Explorer > Traverse
Edge/Escape > Equinox (I don't like either, but Ford wins)

I honestly don't know where the Flex stands in this equation. I'm not measuring vans (Transit/Express) either.

Mustang > Camaro

gross

Depends which year of fusion, I like and don't like the 2013-2014 Fusion models.  I love the Aston Martin front end look, that is nice, as well as the body curves along the side, but the back is eh, and the interior is, personally, not the best Ford could do especially on the instrument cluster and that being said at the touch buttons.

I own a 2012 that I paid 15k for mainly cause I liked the 2013's but they just weren't that appealing to drive as the 2012 was to me.

anybody who thinks ford is a decent car company probably got knocked in the head by a horse

Ford definitely isn't my first choice but if I was given one to drive I probably would.

I've owned a ranger and it hasn't had any problems. The previous owner kept getting his engine shat on by "supposedly" someone at his work. He asked for 5k when I went to buy it, I expected higher. "It doesn't work nearly half the time guy, you're better off finding a different car but hey, i'll sell it to you".

3 years later and not a day in the shop.

I hate toyota, but the 2015 tacoma body is at it's finest

it shouldn't take two teenagers 5 hours to install a set of side-draft carburetors
