Idk, it seems like a good price but I feel that you could get it cheaper at a big box store. What with the bulk discount.

If you’re going with a beast of burden, use one that at least has some self-preservation instinct and won’t kill itself by drinking water too fast (yes, horses will do that).

Feed it oats and make sure to brush it down after a hard day’s ride.

Hopefully when it comes, I’ll have an electric car and can charge it from solar-power supercharger stations! They do currently or will be powered from on-site solar instead of the grid, so at least for a while until they fall into disrepair, they’ll be a good way to recharge. No need to pump get and no need to find…

Drive a Crown Vic. Have spares for YEARS. Easy to work on, too.

This just in. Witnesses say it was this woman, who wrote the note.

I agree with Andrew.... Ford never SAID that.... they actually never said much of anything, they just say “EcoBoost” a lot.... If morons in the press take it in that direction, well, whaddaya gonna do?? (Ford execs throw their hands up in fake exasperation)

No Doug, it’s because a large number of the press corp are morons.

I would have guessed Boulder, CO. Maybe Boulderites are just too busy smoking some weed to care.

I did Nazi that coming.

The circumstances were largely not what people think they were. The “Pinto memo” was actually a reference to NHTSA specification, not an internal Ford c/b analysis. Scroll down to the heading “Schwarz paper”.

They were encouraged to do so by the NTHSA, which at the time deferred to the automakers on production costs and let them make that choice. Not that it isn’t a shitty way to approach production cost calculations, but Ford were not entirely to blame for this attitude.

Except they later proved that the gas tank in the Pinto was no more or less unsafe than anything else built at that time.

The turbo engines are just fine, you just need to look at your driving style. 1/4 throttle in an old V6 may be 70 lb-ft where as 1/4 throttle in a DI turbo I4 may be 120+ lb-ft. You don’t realize how much faster you’re accelerating because you’re driving the same way in a new quiet car.

I have a Fiesta 1 liter. If I…

So, potentially, they could have added the AdBlue systems to the cars at a cost somewhere under 4 Billion, in theory.

Wait, wait. Hold up.

They still make the Eos?

;)

It failed almost everywhere, but it still is a good car.

How can you have this whole article without mentioning American Chopper?
