Just a side note.... The interior trim was identical in the 2007 model.... and available in the same interior color and exterior paint color.

Yep. That was the Philadelphia area solution about 30 years ago. The Atco Speedway was willing to host weekly local race events, which continued until recently (the owners sold out to a real estate development company that was supposed to continue operating the strip, but shut it down for commercial redevelopment).

Driven across Nebraska? Nope. Driven across Iowa? Many times as a child, since half my family was from the northwest corner of the state and my immediate family lived in New England. Still there are worse things. Like driving through Indiana in an era where the state police insisted you pay traffic ticket fines before…

I’m sure the battery upgrade Torch wants is those hot-swappable Gogoro batteries from Taiwan.

“Yes, but car may stop” really should be “Yes, but car WILL stop.” Imagine how much safer the roads would be if Tesla’s autopilot BS software, when it detected you were inattentive for any reason, pulled over to the side of the road and stopped until you realized you were inattentive, even if it was parked there for…

I’m still trying to figure out why there is a link to this article from a Jalopnik Harley-Davidson article....

All I know is.... Keep your eye on a guy who thinks Nixon picked the best desk.

Is this article from back before Florida Man became a thing? Because with the location the car was in at the time, it just begs for this article tp be entitled “That Time Florida Man Was So High, He Thought He Was a Superhero.”

This issue is nobody wants to get a new car and immediately drop another $3,000 or more on it getting a mediocre new paint job in the color they actually want.

What I want to know is.... Is there anyone out there ranting about how he needs these for his Changli? :D

Not really. Maximum power of an ICE can be changed by numerous components, including the fuel pump, fuel lines, rails and injectors. If you have a high flow, you have more power. Half those components are barely physically interact with the engine for the most part. So the batteries are still for the most part just…

The battery is analogous to the fuel tank, not the Internal Combustion Engine. Electric motors are the analogy to ICEs.

Just so you know, it has nothing to do with BLM or your “66 events of hit and run”. It all dates back to the Mardi Gras riot of 2001 in Philadelphia, where rioters along South Street surrounded a vehicle and got run down as the driver obviously attempted to escape. There was some effort to avoid the rioters initially,…

Given Duke’s investment in nuclear power (I’m looking at you, nuclear facility that was used to film The Abyss way back in the late 80's), I have little confidence this venture will be very successful, either.

What makes me sick is a trend in my local area... of lifted pickups like the one in the first photo.... with handicap tags. I’ve yet to see a single person riding in one or driving that exhibited any sign of a physical handicap, especially when climbing in and out of the damned things.

That transmission reputation somehow managed to slip through EVERY redesign the car had. The AXOD transaxles and their descendants were garbage.

Don’t you just love how they’re all willing to call you stupid for even suggesting such a thing, like they think all the criminals in the world are brighter than you (and them)?

Never thought I’d see the day where my brain superimposed “clown car” for most incidents of “Ford Expedition” in any article....

Given the horror stories I’ve heard, I’m still stuck on “wait, there are still people living in San Francisco?”

It was probably in the process of discovering its forever home wasn’t as forever as it thought.
