What does that video have to do with this thread?

No harder than anyone else with the same amount of money.

One of Ford's great-grandchildren is married to a Jew and Bill Ford Jr's daughter married a black man so Henry's spinning pretty fast regardless of who's running FoMoCo.

I had one of these as a kid.

Not all colonialism was the same, at least European colonialism (which seems to be the only kind that gets any notice). Most of the best functioning countries in the world are former British colonies or de facto colonies like Japan was. The Brits brought in schools and courts and a functioning civil service. I wonder…

I'm partial to the Ferrari 250GT Zagato. He made five of them.

Tom Carrigan's 1,710 cubic inch Allison V12 powered 1939 Chevy.

Matt, you should interview Margery Krevsky, who runs Productions Plus, which provides a lot of product specialists to the auto show circuit. She'd teach Vella a thing or two. Like with any job, there are people who are really good at what they do and I've seen booth professionals who knew a lot more about what they…

Would he do it to this photographer?

I go to Mustang events in part so I can take photos of Mustang IIs and I've spoken with Buck Mook and Howard Payne, who were responsible for the exterior and interior design of the car and they're rather proud of their work. Ford sold well over a million Mustang II cars over the course of five years. Some of the best…

This one has an automotive connection. The Delphine, the yacht that Horace Dodge started building just before he died and was later used by his widow Anna, was requisitioned by the U.S. Navy during WWII and recommissioned as the USS Dauntless for use as the command ship of Admiral Ernest King, Commander in Chief of…

That's what I thought the headline was about. In a way it's true since AM General also made the M151 MUTT (though it was a Ford design) and AM General designed the HumVee. My personal favorite vintage U.S. military vehicles are the AMC built Mighty Mite M422 and the Studebaker built M29 Weasel.

Hardly a guilty pleasure. Roy Lunn, whose idea it was to make the Eagle 4X4, was an amazingly creative guys. Before he went to work for Jeep and AMC he ran the Ford GT40 program (which won at LeMans 4 times running) and also engineered the Boss 429 Mustang. Before Ford, he designed the Aston Martin DB2. Here are pics…

Does anyone think that any of those Border Patrol agents will get in trouble at their agency for lying on a police report?

Looks like a booger hanging off the nose. OTOH, at least it isn't a Changfeng Liebao leopard:

I wouldn't say discarded in general, just as hood ornament. The Leaper profile is on the back of every current Jaguar. The simple fact is that it doesn't look good on rounded front ends. They never put one on the E Type. When I had my XJ, it was grey, and we had adopted a greyhound, so I replaced the Leaper with a…

Funny names aside, the car is pretty striking, and this is its first public outing since being unveiled at SEMA this past year.

How dare you question government regulations? All those rules are put in place by benevolent, unselfish people whose sole motivation is making this world a better place. Think of the children!
