Is your wife Lucy ever going to take the #430 back out on stages, or was that a one time thing just for the fun of it?

What's in the works for next year? When I talked to you at 100AW this year, you said the GRC was more of a priority for sponsors, and that you'd rather be doing stage rally. Are you going to give another go at a full Rally America calendar again, or possibly shoot for more WRC seat time?

I read that in his voice.

Came here to upvote on this and was disappointed it wasn't in the top few answers, so here ya go.

WRC isn't everything. There is more to rally than just the very top level of competition.

DEAR GOD I NEED THAT SKYLINE WAGON.

The kind that shouldn't really be done. The batshit crazy kind. The kind you need.

Now to get used to these pulling me over.

That's actually a pretty accurate description. It will have a better off road ability than the Escape, as well as better towing if equipped with the EcoBoost 3.5, but it kind of is the Escape's big brother.

I never said you weren't an enthusiast. There is a reason Ford is (likely) only offering this with a manual, and that is because it is the single most enjoyable driving experience, as well as being better on a track. If you never have even tried to drive a manual, then you are the kid who refuses to try a certain food…

Learn to drive stick. Then you'll understand.

At least it looks good and exciting. I'd be okay if the base model only had 145hp provided the weight was kept down enough. I'd rally the shit out of this.

They have what is called a Sequential gearbox. Every gear change is done "manually" persay, but the clutch is typically only used to launch from a dead stop in 1st. After this, every change is done by pulling the gear lever forward or backward - towards yourself for upshifting, and away from yourself for downshifting.

My firstborn son is being named Sebastian.

I never knew I needed this.

Literally everything they have recorded is good. Buy it all. You won't regret it.

Dude, AAL is the gold standard in progressive djent. I've seen them live twice, unforgettable.

I'd say most things made in the last 6-8 years shouldn't be a risk, so long as it is maintained properly.
