WCG Daily Numbers

[xvi]

Check out the power to weight ratio, power output alone doesn't mean much.

Very familiar with that. Drove a Fiesta ST and was surprised how quick it was (if only I could actually fit in it though). My first car was pretty light and I'd like to get back to that.

Mustang EcoBoost?

Long day. BumbleBee has a point. Mustang?

There's something special, or something that really piqued my interest about/with the EcoBoost version that I just can't recall.

There's something special, or something that really piqued my interest about/with the EcoBoost version that I just can't recall.

If I had to guess, it'd be either the fuel economy or the nice turbo noises. The Fiesta's turbo certainly let you know it was there and it was something that was hard not to play with. I'm hoping the Focus is equally fun.

FwwwweeeeeEEEEEEEEE-PSSSH. FwwwweeeeEEEEEE-PSSSH!

Sorry all! I thought I could catch yesterday's numbers today, but it looks like WCG doesn't pay attention to daylight savings, so I missed it by an hour! Good news is that means I can post numbers at work again.

That 2.3L Ecoboost engine in the Mustang actually looks quite nice.

 

[thebluebumblebee]

Eh, you might want to see this about the EcoBoost.

Looks like turbos got us out of this 16th place nonsense. How about a Buick Regal Grand National as our good luck charm for tomorrow!

Needs pink tire smoke to be more impressive

A guy I used to know about 20-25 years ago had a Grand National and I got to drive it a few times

Quick numbers because work is on fire, but so are we! 11th!

13th is a nice place to be. Around here, it seems like that's been about how cold it's been. Little chill in the air! Also, the better half said I can't have an 80s Trans Am.

 

[thebluebumblebee]

I wasn't trying to scare you off of the EcoBoost, just warning of "teething pains" with american turbocharged gas engines.

13th twice again! Here's something a little different with two turbos to celebrate.

How did you not fit a modern Fiesta? The rear is made mostly for kids, I know. But the front seats should be fine.

Ooph. Brief hiatus, sorry. Hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving (if you're in a country that celebrates it today).

Being as tall as I am, my arms didn't fit in the armrest on the door, kept bumping into various things, and my legs were cramped after a ~15 minute drive. I thought I'd like a Focus instead, but there's considerably less used ones around. Maybe I just didn't fiddle with the seats enough.
Also, the better half didn't like a small car being so fast.

Another 13th day! It's getting chilly, which means it's a great time to turn on more crunchers.

So, about a week ago, I'm walking around in a Toyota dealership and the better half spots a 2014 Scion iQ. She's fallen in love with it and now we're heading out to go get it. She's described it as a "crazy person car" and uses that as her argument as to why it fits her so well.

 

[Caring1]

Hmm, that looks smaller than a Fiesta

Smaller, but surprisingly much more comfortable since they don't pretend you can fit actual people in the back seats. This one isn't for me anyways.
I drove a Lexus IS 250 that I liked a lot, but the price on those things is pretty high.

The Scion is a crazy car for crazy people, so it fits her pretty well.

Bad week. Time to get back to it! How about the great looking new Acura NSX as an apology?

 

[manofthem]

Sweet ride there! And sorry @xvi, I didn't even notice that you were out for a few days. if I had, i would have jumped in for you. I myself have been tied up lately and a little preoccupied and missed some days. I guess the weekend is sorely needed for us all!

Great work team!

I had to count twice to be sure, but we made it to 9th today! Either everyone except us had a low day or we had an awesome day, but either way, I'm not complaining!

Would love to see it!
