2014 Mustang v6

I also need a template for all the things I should include because I don't want to miss anything.

Thought id ask first before wasting my time...

I would like that. Manual or Automatic?

it's an automatic. It was honestly bought and then I really started to get into cars. I wish I could trade it straight across for the same car with a stick and not take a HUGE loss. A guy I met on here BigBubbaRay is going to teach me to drive stick once his subie is fixed up. I can't wait for that day!

The Subie is in the shop now!!

I'd like to see a writeup of your car, btw.

DO IT.

My car's review is the template that Jalopnik uses for their reviews. Feel free to take it

any news on the baja bug?

Unfortunately not. The owner stopped responding to my emails for some reason so I have a feeling that it might have been sold.

Sure, I'd read that! I'd use Jalopnik's format/template if I was actually reviewing a car for them, but for me, I use whatever criteria I feel most appropriate to that particular car and the type of article I'm writing. For instance, I asked and answered very different questions about my BRZ and ex-cop car . It isn't as interesting how I can live with a cop car every day because cops, taxi drivers, etc. do it all the time, but not as much with the BRZ. Similarly, nobody mistakes me for a cop in the BRZ, so there's no point even discussing that.

For a V6 Mustang, I'd try to anticipate the questions people are most likely to ask about it - first and foremost, why didn't you get the V8? How much worse is the V6? Do people give you a hard time for not having a V8? Why didn't you wait for the 2015 Ecoboost Mustang? Stuff like that. I'm not criticizing your choices, by the way - just mentioning things others might criticize, so you can shoot them down before they ask.

Good luck!

Dang, well hopefully you'll find another one someday.

Hmm, you make some very good points. I am in the process of writing it now and will definitely try to answer some of those questions prematurely.
