Factory vinyl roofs were a handy way for the body shop at the factory to not have to spend so much time finishing the seam where the roof meets the quarter panel.

Interesting, didn’t think that was the case. Thanks!

*Gasp* It’s the Headless Horsepower! Run!

This used to be a way to get a compact and very powerful air compressor... a special head bolted to one bank and some modification to the valves and/or valve timing for that bank.

I have a good story about this.

That drag racer is certainly a gluten for punishment.

Great. Another hole for the Brodozer set to stick a LED light bar into.

Nothing will ever excuse the truck drivers behavior. Period.

WAIT. Wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Fucking WAIT.

This is complete bullshit greenie communist propaganda that completely ignores human nature.

There’ll be those who decry the change in rake; They consider not what is at stake.

Ford probably denied his application for a new GT.

I’m sure he just wanted a V8 in it like God intended.

Leaving to design a GT replica for Factory Five that normal people can actually afford. Yep, that's it.

I bet he wanted to throw that flat-plane V8 from the Mustang GT 350 into the car it was really meant for...

Maybe he went across town to engineer the mid-engine Corvette.

Another former dispatcher here, speaking up to second all of the above. The setup in my agency was ridiculous and very poorly maintained, so even when they did manage to purchase new phone software it was a pretty face on top of rickety infrastructure and didn’t work very well.

Excellent post. I would point out though that grant-writing at a local level seems to be just fine when it comes to the 1033 program. We just need to make it as easy for local law enforcement to request an upgrade for their 911 system as we do for them to request an armored personnel carrier. Or at least make sure…

I worked as a 911 operator for almost 10 years (and still work in the same field, just on the managerial side now). And it is absolutely true. In many departments around the country, the infrastructure is simply too out-of-date, too fragile, and often a simple afterthought at the parent governmental level.…

Swarm tactics are definitely an effective plan. Tragically brutal, but sometimes the only choice.
