I love these stories. Tavarish used to file them under “The art of the flip.”

Ford went with private loans. Didn’t take gov’t bailout money. They literally mortgaged the trademark rights on the blue oval logo.

And it doesn’t seat 5. 

US Government says all cars are REQUIRED to have backup cameras now. Also, TPMS is required by US law.

Auto braking? I have that, it’s called DRIVER PAYS ATTENTION TO TRAFFIC.

I miss the days of the Z3 M Coupe that was available in just about everything, including “Evergreen:”

Starion is one of the GREATEST occurrences of ‘Engrish’ to ever grace us. Just look at the old TV ads for the car - You’ll see that what they really meant was ‘Stallion.’

I had that thought too - nice to see I’m not alone!

We need BIGGER PICTURES.

Europe had(has?) a hovercraft racing league.

I’d rather see a follow-up where they do all the basic maintenance to clean up the engine and re-run to see how close to stock it can get. Maybe even a third vid where it’s tested after a full rebuild and compression check.

RasPi-type device with cell and GPS. $50-$60 in parts (less if mass produced, I’m sure), and $5-$15/month IoT plan from T-Mobile.

I have had the mental defense for a while (which I’ve never tested nor debated with any legal counsel) that:

Police are to uphold and serve the law, as well as act as physical extensions of the law itself. If they routinely can be found traveling in a non-emergency fashion at a speed greater than the posted limit, then…
