Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    It will be worth it in the future to list my truck on a VerticalScope Inc. site just to have it featured here. I wonder what BOT TASSOs would say? LOL

      @Alan - I find it interesting that the VM Motori designed 2.8 litre inline 4 in my truck is reportedly much more reliable than the VM Motori 3 litre V6 used in the Ram and Jeeps.

    I think it's a fair price if all is in order regarding upkeep. I drove the ST version and while it drove great, the seat bolsters hit my elbow while shifting, so this would be worse in that regard. Big miss by Ford not still selling these in the "free" world, but it was more important to put a half baked transmission into production and tarnish the model names of their small cars.

      I'm not sure I've ever sat in a more uncomfortable car seat than the Recaro in a S197 Mustang. It was so narrow and deep I felt like my ribcage had to fold in half. Those seats are just not made for broad-shouldered people. I don't know if the S550 version is any better, don't feel like finding out.


  • NotMyCircusNotMyMonkeys so many people here fellating musks fat sack, or hodling the baggies for TSLA. which are you?
  • Kwik_Shift_Pro4X Canadians are able to win?
  • Doc423 More over-priced, unreliable garbage from Mini Cooper/BMW.
  • Tsarcasm Chevron Techron and Lubri-Moly Jectron are the only ones that have a lot of Polyether Amine (PEA) in them.
  • Tassos OK Corey. I went and saw the photos again. Besides the fins, one thing I did not like on one of the models (I bet it was the 59) was the windshield, which looked bent (although I would bet its designer thought it was so cool at the time). Besides the too loud fins. The 58 was better.
