Yup, this.
So Ford can't get its corporate culture out of its own ass... seems a problem with many American "legacy" companies. I work for one, they suck at moving forward. I've worked for others, too.
You're right on point. Humans suck at ignoring the stupid, the crazy etc. Witness Michelle Bachmann's political success, gapers delays in the direction opposite an accident, and the networks adherence to reality TV.
Great article! I would've had more respect for my college staple given a little history.
Seems like a good product in search of a better identity and badging.
Self driving cars will end traffic jams, make roadtrips more fun, and allow you to go to countryside watering holes without worrying about DUIs (or worse) - sounds like a win to me...
When did Kurzweil say Cyborg immortality will be possible? 2040? Good to see we're on track, tho I'm gonna be in my late 60s by then...
I'd buy it for $50-500 MAYBE. If it didn't run right, $50 and I'll treat it to an SBC swap.
What I find forever interesting about classic American Iron is how aesthetically different they all turned out in comparison to European cars of the day.

Good AOTD selection, you guys did a fair job this time around.
I moved an egg off a sandpile into a plastic cup using an excavator once, true story. They taped a spoon to the bucket and i had to lift an egg up with it, and then use the controls to drop into a little dixie cup. Took me 5 minutes though, I suck at excavating.
Unless you have some obscene manse, Coral Gables homes are pretty bland and cookie-cutter from what I saw when I visited in 2006. Why anyone would even want a pickup truck to drive to some insipid box made of ticky tacky is just as bizzare as the ordinance. I think its fail on both sides here, if you really want in on…
