    Multi-topic thread on retirement and second car

    I bought my “retirement” home in 2019 and it’s all paid off. Retire in May, then drive up and spend the summer there to get away from the heat and humidity of the mid Atlantic

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Stopped by the dealer and had them remove the shipping spacer blocks from the front suspension. When I bought it Tuesday I should have checked it before I drove off with it. I’ve been doing the break in procedure and was hearing some squeaks from the front, stopped for lunch and took a...

    Multi-topic thread on retirement and second car

    When it was obvious Trump would win and stock futures hit a 2.5 percent on the SP500 after the bell on election day, I moved a bunch of money into my C fund that tracks the SP500 before noon the day after the election, made a nice chunk after the bell closed the day after the election and today...

    Multi-topic thread on retirement and second car

    IRS clearly states that you cant get access to it, without the 10 percent penalty unless you are 59 1/2. In some cases for financial needs that changes a bit.

    Multi-topic thread on retirement and second car

    I’ll be out end of next April, 33 years as a fed. I just traded my 991 911 for a 2025 4BW manual so I can have fun on backroads but also get on the highway for a two day drive to my second home in Mn. Can’t carry pets, guitars and amps in a 911, so it had to go. I suggest a Golf R as others...

    CT5-V Carmax experience

    Floriduh is full of flood cars. I’d never buy one from there, even a new one unless I saw it in person. Even then, they are getting better at masking visible water damage.

    CT4 BW to Dark Horse?

    I can’t past the tacked on iPad dash and the weird center stack. Granted they are marketing to a younger demographic that grew up with iPads and play stations and such, but it’s just too messed up and disjointed looking to me.

    Dealers That Are Not Charging Above MSRP

    I financed through GM on mine today. Got 6.9 percent for 60 months. Plus I got the rebate so 2k under MSRP on a 2025 on the lot 4 BW manual. I did not buy any add-ons to the dismay of the financial sales woman. Had to tell her three times, no extras.

    CT5-V Has your engine blown up yet?

    If you do things like this…. Yes…you old.

    CT5-V Has your engine blown up yet?

    Like in the case of the 350 failures, Ford never published any data as to why it happened or how many engines got replaced. A few people had two replacements.....I'm betting that Ford was quite happy when the original warranty was up on them, and pretty soon the extended warranties will be gone...

    CT5-V Has your engine blown up yet?

    We went through similar discussions when the GT 350 motors were failing due to oil consumption or the failed chain tensioner actuator.

    CT5-V Has your engine blown up yet?

    That’s assuming a failure with an even distribution across all samples and years of the 5 BW. Which may not be the case.
