It's likely an F-15. The F-18, I believe, is a carrier based Navy plane and while Israel has a potent naval force, they don't have any carriers. The F-15 is a remarkable airplane and the IAF has some remarkable pilots:

Not in my book. Bad things have happened when Jews couldn't defend themselves.

Sure looks like a flower car to me.

Geographically, it's not wrong to say that factories in those enclaves are "in Detroit", but like I said, I'm sure there was a reason why Ford stopped building factories in Detroit proper.

I didn't bother checking the map and estimated. It's 315 miles to the bridge and TC is fairly south of Boyne Falls, which is already about 50 miles south of the bridge via 119 and 131. Google maps says that it's 256.2 miles, so you're correct about it being closer to 300 than 200, but barely. I was being kinda…

It's worth enough to be restorable unless it's completely destroyed.

Hagerty's offices are in Traverse City which is about 200 miles from Detroit. Ford hasn't had factories or offices in Detroit proper for generations, since Henry built the Highland Park factory (in 1910, I believe). I'm not sure exactly when Ford moved their business offices from the building at Woodward and Grand…

Matt, the original author of the post at Zero Hedge is a guy named Vincent Lewis, who appears to be some kind of conspiracy theorist. No, really, he's published a book about conspiracies and doesn't appear to be a skeptic. He knows nothing about the car industry. When I first saw a link to the ZH post, I thought it…

Teague may have gotten the idea for the diagonally swappable doors from Brooks Stevens' Studebaker Cruiser concept.

The most dangerous thing a bicyclist can do is proceed through an intersection with a green light. More cyclists are hit by drivers who don't see them while making a right turn than any other kind of car/bike collision. The same problem kills a lot of motorcyclists too.

That whole see-through car thing is so 1939.

Perhaps the original fun car was the 1948-50 Willys-Overland Jeepster. Jeep revived the name and concept with the 1966 Jeepster Commando. In 1972, they restyled the front end, making it look very much like a Ford Bronco, another vehicle that probably belongs on this list.

Whoa. When I saw the photo, for a second I thought it was Jim Clark's Indy winning Lotus, which wears the same colors. It's an interesting debate, which Lotus was more influential, the Lotus 38 that won at Indy or the Lotus 49, which won a F1 championship.

Aren't they butthurt?

It's a shame that you and perspective are strangers.

Patrick,

This is how you eat cars.

Obviously, we're not going to change our policy of covering the news.

Patrick, living in the Detroit area I see preproduction cars quite frequently. Car companies and suppliers test their cars (including those for markets outside of North America) in my neighborhood for radio frequency interference and I have a nice sequence of photos with Japanese Denso engineers trying to keep me from…
