And if you're wondering ... Its automatic, not manual

The title Cougar is my favorite. My Dad owned one when he was young.

Hello. I am looking for a budget all rounder tire in a 235 60 r18. Something under $160 would be good. I'm currently looking at the Goodyear Assurance Finesse but would be open to suggestions. Thanks in advance.

• Dodge revealed details for the 2026 Durango lineup, quashing rumors that the current generation would end after 2025.
• In addition to carrying over the current generation for at least one more year, Dodge also announced the return of the V-8-powered R/T and SRT Hellcat Durangos.
• Pricing for the GT and R/T models is unchanged from 2025, starting at $40,490 and $51,990, respectively, while pricing for the SRT Hellcat won't be revealed until later this year.

The software error, which Ford reported to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration earlier this month, may cause the rearview camera image to delay, freeze or not display when the vehicle is in reverse.

The problem will be fixed by a dealer or via an “over-the-air” update at a later date. A preliminary letter notifying owners of the safety risk is expected to be mailed June 16, with a second letter to be sent once the update is available, expected sometime in the third quarter of 2025.

The following Ford vehicles — a total of 1,075,299 — are included in the recall:

2021-2024 Bronco

2021-2024 Edge

2023-2024 Escape

2021-2024 F-150

2023-2024 F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, F-600

2022-2024 Expedition

2022-2025 Transit

2021-2023 Mach-E

2024 Ranger

2024 Mustang

2021-2023 Lincoln Nautilus

2022-2024 Navigator

2023-2024 Corsair

The principality of Monaco is perhaps the least suitable place on the Formula 1 calendar to hold a Grand Prix. A pirate cove turned tax haven nestled between France and Italy at the foot of the Alps-Maritimes, it has also been home to Grand Prix racing since 1929, predating the actual Formula 1 world championship by two decades. The track is short, tight, and perhaps best described as riding a bicycle around your living room. It doesn’t even race well, for the barrier-lined streets are too narrow for the too-big, too-heavy cars of the 21st century. And yet, it’s F1’s crown jewel.

Despite the location's many drawbacks, there’s something magical about racing in Monaco that almost defies explanation. The real magic happens on Saturday, when the drivers compete against each other to set the fastest lap. With overtaking as difficult as it is here, qualifying is everything, determining the order everyone lines up in, and more than likely, finishes.

What the title was about:

The gaps at the front were much bigger for Q3, and the lap times much quicker. Three drivers broke the existing track record set by Lewis Hamilton during qualifying in 2021, with McLaren's Lando Norris the fastest at 1:09.954—the fastest time ever for this configuration of the circuit.

Sad that this had to die to bring us the Ford Explorer.

Let's only focus on the reverse gear position, I believe there are as follow:

1. all the way to the right and down.

2. all the way to the right and up.

3. all the way to the left and up.

4. knob pull then shift to left and up.

For me, if I drive an old 5 speed then 1).

For modern cars with 6 speed, I prefer 4). It makes me feel confident that I am definitely in reverse.

A 6 speed with 3) imo is just terrible. I know many BMWs have this pattern. The idea is to really push to the left so you engage reverse and not 1st. Tried it on a friend's car and I was quite nervous: what happen if I yank too hard and damage the shifter?

I want front facing third row wagons again.

Who wants to see a modern Chrysler Poplar?

My son and I are going to the Pikes Peak HC this year! Just bought tickets and I can't wait. Lived here our whole lives and we've never been able to go.

"While we don’t know how Schäfer defines “a true GTI,” the report adds that the electric GTI will remain front-wheel-drive."

"The ID.2 will be the tip of the electric hot hatch iceberg. Beyond the Golf GTI, the portfolio will ultimately grow to include an electric successor to the Golf R that will retain the current car’s all-wheel-drive layout."

"Auto Express adds that Volkswagen will continue to update the current, eighth-generation Golf through the end of the decade. There’s no word yet on whether that means the current GTI will live on until 2030."

My mom took this picture on our mother's day drive through the mountains. She's a photographer and doesn't get to make the drive herself anymore.

There's technically a car or two in it so I thought I'd share.
