In the Texas Panhandle there ain’t any hills, but every few weeks the news will report a singlewide meth lab that caught fire or exploded.

Auto Industry advertising has a massive influence on the businesses that get their marketing in front of consumers. Broadcast TV still largely premieres new shows and seasons based on the big fall ad push by automakers.
The electronics are reliable enough. Ag machinery got heavily computerized in the 90's and those machines are still doing acres upon acres of work. The big difference is in how much connectivity there is outside of the vehicle. That’s new, and that’s why there’s more security. The bigger issue is what happens when…
Unfortunately Kinja ate my link. But you are correct, he likely still owns the aircraft but has it registered to some trust in a town without an airport. Onalaska, Texas has over 1000 aircraft registered there. There isn’t even a grass air strip in that town.
He probably “Sold” it to a trust and has it registered with some Aircraft Guaranty company in a town without an airport.
Ramsey was a long time alcoholic.
Those aren’t wheel covers, they’re Aluminium wheels.
Because the 4.0L OHC is a kludgy OHV to OHC conversion. IIRC on the 4.0L OHV Cologne the left Bank is slightly further forward than the right bank. In order to put both timing chains up front, Ford would have had to make dedicated castings for the left and right cylinder heads. Since they already had the crankcase…
That’s right, they did update the Civilian ones with the 2016 facelift.
The kind of folks that get sent on $11,000 flights with $5000 worth of goods in their checked luggage are often highly specialized repair techs. The missing luggage was likely a Pelican case full of expensive tools. The $5000 likely wasn’t the cost to replace the tools, but the expense of shipping a second set to him…
It’s to prevent exhaust gases from accumulating in the low pressure zone behind the rear hatch. Not for noise abatement. Ford revised the exhaust exits on the 2018 and 2019 Interceptor Utilities due to the issue.
The body may be new for 2020, but the aeros are still mighty similar. I used to drive a 2017 Interceptor Utility around as a company car and on cold mornings you’d often find yourself “towing” a cloud. The exhaust would just stay in the low pressure zone behind the hatch. If the seal on that hatch is compromised in…
More original Jeeps rolled off Ford assembly lines than Willys Overland ever produced. One of the peculiarities of wartime defense production. Though not quite as odd as the International Harvester M1 Garand and Smith Corona 1903 Springfield rifles.
One mistake Ford didn’t make with the Bronco Sport that Jeep did with their CUV’s. Bronco Sports are only available in All Wheel Drive. It isn’t an option like it has been, and continues to be, on the Jeep Crossovers.
When the Bronco first came out, none of Ford’s vehicles had the Blue Oval logo on them. The Bronco didn’t get the Oval on the tailgate until 1978. Which was one more Blue Oval than its F-Series cousins had at the time. The Bronco spent more time with an Oval on it than without (18 years vs 11). That time would have…
You wouldn’t be allowed to check a laptop anyway (batteries). Laptops have to fly in the cabin.
A laptop would not have been in checked luggage and in fact aren’t allowed in the cargo hold on passenger aircraft.
I used to always crack that my Crown Vic ran on Tim Horton’s donuts and Kraft dinner. Of course I kid, the workers in St. Thomas did a damned-fine job putting together my P71. I’m just sad that I’ll never be able to make a road trip up there as the plant has been completely razed. I’ll have to settle for driving my…
When a jingoistic Ram HD driver gives me shit over my F150 I usually ask “Hey, what’s the first digit of your VIN?”
Finding a space to fit the monstrosity is more difficult than actually getting said monstrosity into an appropriate space. You pretty much learn to reverse into every perpendicular or parallel parking space. Hence the backup sensors in the bumper.
