I think I could have gotten my old ‘92 F-150 with the 4.9L and M5OD probably could have made it to 1,609,000 km, sure more of the parts would have been made by NAPA and LMC than FoMoCo but it would have made it.

It was ahead of it’s time, if you told me in 2003 that in 15 years that every manufacturer including Porsche and Lamborghini would be scrambling to build Aztek-like abominations and Ford would actually discontinue their cars to build more of them I would have called you an idiot, now it seems like we live in a CUV…

I’d say Calgary is Canada’s Florida.

So it sucks and to top off the shit sundae they’ll end it with the theme song from Enterprise.

How do you get by with only 2 cigarette lighters, my ‘83 Electra has four each with an accompanying ashtray and the poor bastard in the center back seat still has to share with the passenger to his or her left or right. To be fair I remember dad had an old JD 4240 with 2 cigarette lighters which was weird for a…

That’s pretty damn funny.

Blasphemous heathen.

Driving while headbanging to Bohemian Rhapsody just feels right.

I had an old ‘78 F-250 with a 460 that would get about 2L/100km (117mpg) oil mileage, about 33L/100km (7mpg) gas mileage and 1L/100km (235mpg) coolant mileage, Amazon oil might have been a bit too expensive for that truck instead of used hydraulic oil from farm equipment.

What Tesla is anti-union?

Clearance light have been optional on 3/4 ton and 1 ton trucks that are under 80" for decades, Istill don’t know why that’s even optional on a 3/4 ton, I’ll bet a majority of the trailers large enough to require a 3//4 ton are over 80" wide and any trailer that can’t accommodate clearance lights higher than the cab of…

I think pickup trucks have the best instrument clusters.

I’ve seen F-150s with XTR decals in supposedly American settings that may or may not have been filmed in BC or Alberta.

Squealing tires on dirt or gravel, the Dukes of Hazzard is the absolute worst offender for this.

I like Ford’s grille design for the ‘18-up they realized that the 2015-2017 grille was kind of bland and came up with a grille that shared a common design element with the Super Duty and then threw in some design cues from the L9000 Louisville.

A future where only the wealthy can actually afford to own their own home or car and the working class is trapped paying them rent, also by then our pension system will probably collapse under the burden of supporting the baby boomers so the later generations will probably just work until we drop dead.

I have to assume this wasn’t actually intentional and their system just rolled over JAM-999 and started generating licence plate numbers starting with JAP.

I want an Electric 1/2 ton that can make full torque from a standstill, given that I’m probably not going to be in the market for a new truck for about 10 years Ford and Nissan will probably have one by then because I’m not naive enough to expect GM or Dodge’s quality to improve or Tundra prices come out of the…

Without the LaCrosse I have to wonder how much longer the Regal will be around and Buick might get discontinued to make more room for Cadillac, and realistically Buick has been dead since the LeSabre was discontinued in 2005 and much like Oldsmobile after it’s death in the late 80's/early 90's and it’s zombie-like…

Except the K&N filters allow more fine particulate matter through and the oil screws the MAF sensor after the first time the filter is cleaned, if the engine was designed for a dry filter element use a dry filter, replacing a filter is cheaper than replacing a MAF sensor or dusting an engine.
