Escort Mk1 or 2 but the damn things are so expensive to get a good one thats not rusted out. Would love to bring one here and put a modern Ecoboost 4 banger in it.

Somewhat, at least the Daytona Coupe was great on track days and carving up the Dragons Tail.
It gets trailered cause they are terrible to drive. I have a 1955. Suspension geometry is awful, leaf spring solid axle, Y blocks are gutless. Mine is currently torn apart getting a 306 with Edelbrock top end kit, C4 auto, disc conversion, and all bodywork done. I say mine but I mean my wife's cause I have to fold up…
Only to be topped by the metallic doo doo brown on the new Fords and desert tan on the Toyotas. 🤮
I dont understand the clearcoated primer color every manufacturer has right now. It terrible.
Take that good boy for a drive for god's sake.
This is the exact reason Im looking at buying a Caterham 360R next year. All the useless tech on cars is making them too expensive to maintain and repair.
Scott Dixon is also great towards the fans. At Rolex 24 two years ago Ganassi had all 4 Ford GTs there with all the international drivers from WEC and IMSA. I have a Ford GT print hanging in my den that I wanted signed by all of them. I was 2nd in line to get autographs and when they came out and sat at the tables the…
In 2014 flew from ATL to San Jose. Rented car and did PCH to Morro Bay, back up to Monterey, went to Tuesday Carmel cruise in, drove the 17mi drive, up the PCH to San Fran, Alcatraz, Fishermans Wharf, etc. Back down the PCH and over to Yosemite NP, then back to Laguna Seca for Monterey Historics.
Umm, all of them?
Wonder why sales are slipping?? Look at the front end of the car in your pic, that thing could haunt an 8 room house its so ugly.
Be interesting to see if Monster Energy would allow Red Bull as a sponsor. I know 5hr Energy is dropping out but is it because of a conflict with Monster? Like when it was Sprint Cup and they wouldnt allow Verizon to sponsor a car?
NBC has been really working hard to not show the empty bleachers.
Dont think F1 has anything to worry about, has anyone seen attendance at a NASCAR race lately?? I dont think COTA will miss the 40-50 people that have been attending NASCAR races.
Now that Ive owned my FoST for 2 years I have grown to love my flatish bottom steering wheel. I have longer legs and when I do track days or autocross I like to get a bit closer to the wheel than I do for daily driving so the flat bottom comes in handy. Do I have to have it, No..but I like it.
Have you gotten to hear the 787B yet? I went in 2014 and there was a 787B and a 250 GTO Ferrari there. Beautiful sounds. Then there was a 427 SC Cobra that put them all to shame.
You forgot the WHOOOOOOOOOO!!!
And some of us dont have to wrestle car seats at all and would appreciate a decent compact 2 door car that doesnt cost $70k to DD everyday.
The biggest travesty to me is the amount of affordable 2 door cars. I hate the whole everything has to have 4 door craze. A FoST and a FiST would be so much better as 2 door hatches....with 3 pedals of course.
Well Ford has pissed me off by not selling any cars other than the Mustang in the US after 2019. I have driven Focuses since 2001 as my DD. I will be going to Kia or Hyundai as my DD and getting an M2 Comp or a Cayman next year as my fun car since you can pretty much order those a la carte.
