Two Ford Mondeo engines bolted together and a slew of other FoMoCo switchgear. Thanks, but for $700K, no thanks.

What’s laughable is after all those modifications they kept those slats in the front bumper. An unfortunate but necessary design change to aid in cooling by the factory that Gandini despised. I’ve seen some Khamsins restomodded back to the original design eliminating the slats.
Like this?
They tried that a while back. It was called a V-Rod.
GM will simply revise the complaint, refile, and the presiding judge will assign it to another judge who actually gives a shit. The current judge sounds like he’s been nipping on too much Flint water.
Henry Royce is shaking his head in the afterlife.
If you look at the 8 Series below, it has a dedicated “flash to pass” assembly in the lightbar. Those crafty Germans think of everything. To wit: If you toggled the headlight switch quickly for 6 times, the retractable headlights would pop up with the lights off for cleaning. Next time you started the car, they’d…
Max, too, this was a one-off paint job, meaning no peel-n-stick stencils the airlines use for their liveries. Lots of hand-taping.
In which case ole Joe will look to Amtrak for livery suggestions.
Bad memory/resource management, I’d guess.
How the hell did this get IP’ed in the first place? Isn’t the original Mustang design prior art and in the public domain? Any idiot could tell from a mile away Eleanor is a “Mustang” with some body work and not something original. As far as “Eleanor” as a trademark, hell, just call the damned thing “Bob”.
Yeah, that Monty Python “She’s a witch!” skit comes to mind:
Oh, good, maybe they’ll bring back the V-Rod they axed in 2017.
Who said the airlines aren’t paying rent on their landside facilities such as ticket counters and gates? The article implies “use it or lose it” isn’t in effect during the pandemic.
Throw in about 30 O-rings as well.
Yup. An analog computer that uses oil instead of electrons.
Exactly. I’d be curious as to the forces exerted onto the occupants and if the rollover dissipated a portion of those. I can’t imagine hitting a brick wall, decelerating in 2 feet, and stopping upright would be better than blowing off a several thousand joules rolling onto its side.
Look up the “Jones Act”. There’s exactly ONE U.S. flagged cruise ship, the Pride of America, running between the Hawaiian islands and it’s losing money. In order to be U.S. flagged, the vessel needs to be constructed in a U.S. shipyard. They tried that with this one ship and it bankrupted the owner, even with a…
Reminder: Atlantic Richfield built the first solar panel plant in Camarillo, CA in 1979 and was the first to produce them in economical quantities. They also built the first PV solar plant. ARCO Solar - look it up.
