I owned a 2000 GT-S from new from June 2000 to June 2020...when a deer took it out. 246,000 miles? It’s just getting warmed up, I got 382,000 from mine before the deer. These photos taken just before that, and you can see I kept it looking brand new inside and out for all that time. I replaced my clutch at 176,000 and…
No. There was a lot more wrong with Pintos than the off-chance that they’d blow up.
I remember the Ford Freestyle from around this time. If memory serves me it was basically a rebadged Volvo V70. I think Ford at one time owned or partially owned Volvo.
I think it was that the occupants were incinerated to death in an otherwise survivable crash that was the problem.
The Flex was a great car actually. It was big enough for a whole family, had more power than it really needed out of that ecoboost, it looked pretty damn good, had AWD for snowy climates but never tried to act like it had any kind of off-road chops, and you could get a really well optioned one for under 40k.
I had a Flex as a rental on a work road trip from Raleigh to Charlotte to Charleston and loved it. It was comfortable, had plenty of power, and handled better than many SUVs in its size class. And you could get it with a twin-turbo V6 and AWD!
The first gen Ford Probe was a great little coupe, especially in turbo guise. My parents had one when I was a little kid and man, that thing was the fastest, and coolest car in the world. Even when I was sitting in the middle between my brother and sister with our seatbelts crossed over so I was “belted in”. It’s…
It’s the fact that they knew it could happen and said ‘forget it’ - the payouts are less than the redesign.
8. 8 our of three millions burst into flames after crashing...
The Mustang II. Sounded good at first... a smaller platform, less weight, potentially more nimble? Perfect for a sports car! But Ford based it on the Pinto platform. It came with a 4-cylinder engine making under 90hp. But you could get an optional V6 making just a hair over 100!
There is no such thing as a “400Z.”
For reference, I have a Pontiac G8 that has VIN starting with 6G2. It’s a US market car but was also made in Australia at the Holden factory
Hi Mercedes, I represent Left Hand Utes. Randy, the owner, complies with all federal laws during his builds. He has been interviewed by the NHTSA and EPA, and they believe him to be in compliance. He was found not to be an importer nor manufacturer. Please contact me if you all need further details for your story!
Nice to see all the amateur law degrees being brandished in these comments.
Nope. The Caprice PPV was built by Holden in Australia.

Sounds a lot like what lefthandutes.com does?
This is a lot cooler though…
People like curiosities.
There were plans to bring it over as the G8 ST, but that idea died with Pontiac.
