We’ve turned the whole state into a suspension proving ground. You’re welcome America. If it can survive Michigan roads, it can survive all the roads.

University and 75 has now had one for a few years. At the surface you really don’t notice it much.

Any ability to do a Parentlopnik evaluation on this? Child seats, rear leg room, etc. In so many cases these dang EVs are too small for anyone with any semblance of a family, favoring only 1-2 person travel and giving the back seat short shrift. Only mid/large EVs with a decent back seat for car seats are Teslas…

Crossover to Silicon Valley universe and make it Russ Hanneman. Billionaire doors!!

My first real race was the Indy 500. The speed and power and noise does not get through on TV. My god, you can feel the power in your body. And they're so, so fast. It's so much easier to track on TV because they're gone in milliseconds past your frame of view in person.

Matrix/Vibe was a bit different because they were doing more to differentiate the two cars at that time, not just swapping badges. The only discernable differences in the Corolla/Prism were the badges and the airbag cover.

These are generally objective, data driven analyses, and I can attest my Mazda 6 is 75k in with only oil changes and a new set of tires.

Even though Torch didn't provide his answer, I see with all the VWs, especially that square back, he's still here in spirit.

They already have a PHEV Pacifica available here.

This is a tough situation, as the only engine supplier without a works team that has been recently in F1 is Cosworth, and they did not do great.

This a jalop dream here: Manual, wagon, and a high-maintenance powerplant that works great when it works. I still don’t need a car, and most would probably say no more than $5k due to the age and maintenance.

You’d think the tire buyer would consider getting badgeless molds made up for the Bronco OE tires or go with a different supplier to avoid throwing anything “Wrangler” on the car. But hey, money talks, I guess. Goodyear probably had a great bid.

If it’s a St. Paul-built Ranger, that’d be the last one I’d get rid of, purely for the history and hometown pride. The last thing the old Ford plant built was the Ranger before it closed. It was one of the oldest Ford plants, built where it was to mine sand onsite to make windows. Lot of local history in that truck.

Grandpa had an orange 240z. Had to get rid of it because he got too many speeding tickets in it.

This is going to be one of the easiest brand changes available, as the product isn’t actually named after the mascot. Just do the logotype and remove the picture. DONE. Really interesting how that has survived so long, honestly, when it has been so easy to do this.

Ford’s sourcing is always to the lowest bidder.

Eh. Santino Ferrucci was able to shake a lot of his asshole baggage just by going to IndyCar. Indy 500 Rookie of the Year! Everything is fine.

French rear engined, front drive inline 8? It's masochistic.

Ah could’ve been. I was more familiar with the G2 HEUI injector issues, which were finally fixed in 2003.

I mean, after 2003 Ford and Navistar got their shit together, and they were alright for the rest of the run until the 6.4 came in ‘07. Since this was an ‘05, at least it was in the right time-frame.
