Will my car make this roadtrip?
I have a 2004 Ford Focus with 164,000 miles. Everything runs well. I want to take a trip to Santa Barbara which is 6 hours away from where I live, but my dad tells me I shouldn't take it because it could break down. Is that true? He says I shouldn't even drive it two hours to phoenix…
It's automatic and a 4 cylinder
A lot of this depends on how well its been maintained. Have a professional mechanic check it out.
If it's been well maintained, has good oil and coolant, transmission oil, four good tyres and you drive it sympathetically there's no reason why it shouldn't make it.
If you drive it all the way with the rev counter just below the red there's a chance you'll blow it, But run at 3000 to3500 rpm and it should go all day
You should have no issues with a well cared for vehicle… There are things that can happen to any car with higher mileage. Timing belt being the most serious.
- What is the make/model of this car? Very poor photo? I'm thinking that this is a early 2000s Ford Taurus judging from its front vent/grille and stock rims, or could it be something else. Thanks, this was the getaway vehicle for a burglary attempt. Here's the photo:
- Where can I make a model car of my car? I have a 2010 Ford Mustang and I want to make a toy model car of it. I don't know if it's even possible but if it is I would really like to know. Please and thank you!
- About to get a 73 ford capri 2.8 V6 any help on what parts and can buy to make it an all together better car? I'm just trying to think of parts to get for it be more reliable my friends already told me cold intake, duel exhaust but I want to go a little deeper but anything helps also I'll be using the highway alot. I plan on turning it into 5speed right know it's a 4 speed manual. I'm going to be driving it alot so anything that helps I might swap the engine but knew someone when swapped it with a 5.0 mustang engine but it twisted the frame
- Media and the left are bent on believing Ford no matter what. Will she make up details to make sure her story is believable? So far her only witness has denied being there. Her details are so sketchy they are not really believable. But, Kavanaugh is being roasted anyway. This is just terrible. The point being, she could say ANYTHING at this point and the left would believe it. She can contradict herself (the number of people in the room) or she can flat out lie because we're not demanding any proof. It is really terrible what they are doing to Kavanaugh.
