That is LITERALLY the same wheel my 95 E-Series van had. Same color leather and everything. (Well, the matte look turned shiny over the years, but I bet if you peeled off that AM logo you had a Ford logo?)

And the 91-96 F-series and E-series.

We will get the 5 cyl diesel too! If ford thought there was enough market to recertify the 4-cyl FWD version, they probably would do it and advertise the fuel economy. (Since the transit is a truck, not a car, the engine would have to be recertified :p)

Then rend the zombie for their precious fats/oils. Use the fats to make biodiesel to fuel the truck with a reactor/transesterification setup. Zombie fat and methanol!

Everything except the front spindles and ham radios were off the shelf stuff that I just had to figure out how to apply.

Pfft. I've already got MY disaster vehicle.

Doesn't bug me one bit. This is not different to me than someone whipping out a bible and reading passages. They are not hurting anyone as long as they are not prevent people from moving to the restrooms and whatnot.

I've owned a 300 SRT8. You still have to explain to people why its special.

So my 9600lb GVWR van taht travels 1000 miles on the roads should pay the same tax as a 4600lb GVWR civic that traveled 1000 miles on the roads.

My srt8 is gone now, but I owned both concurrently before the accident. They do different jobs, I was merely using it as an example.

The numbers don't look that impressive on paper, is my point. For a car of a ne generation that's supposed to be their performance flag ship, its not encouraging me to sell my 2012 Grand Sport and buy the new one.

This... isn't that impressive. Really. Nearly 10 years ago Chrysler was getting 425hp/420ftlbs out of their 6.1L hemi. The SRT8s are now getting 470hp/470ftlbs out of their 6.4L engines.

'Everything is bigger in Texas' rings true in many ways. A staggering number of pickups (depending on your region) will be Duallies in Texas. Parking lots are designed to accommodate them, as a fairly large percentage of your customers will drive them. Go northeast, and you will find that is very much NOT the case.

Hence my condition of 'depending on where he is.' He will still take up 4 spots when hes far out.

I have an artificial hip thanks to a serious injury on board a sub. I know the pain, and don't disagree. VA is a fucking joke 99% of the time. I still get Tircare and pay for Prime though.

I wonder what he would think of the C-RAM. Its a robot that watches over our military installations all day, all night, without getting bored or tired. Its capable of opening fire with a 30mm auto-canon at the drop of a hat, and tends to be quite accurate.

Its a right side flag. You always place the field of stars into the wind on a vehicle.

You will always take up 4 spots. I just typically make sure i do it out in the boonies of the parking lot, not up front. I don't mind walkin a bit.

I drive an F450 crew-cab long bed on my farm on occasion. He gets a pass here, depending on where he is (in the boonies or up front). The DRWs WILL fit between the lines, so long as you want to prevent anyone from the left or right being able to wlk by or open their doors more than one inch. Plus, a CC Long Bed…

This shifts the liability off the goverment for the loans (sorta, but not going into that whole relationship)
