You sure?

The Mini Countryman, for drivers who refuse to move their car in the Best Buy parking lot in Georgetown, after parking in the middle of a photo shoot.

Yep, 1987+ 300s got the EFI badge. My dad has a 1989 300 with the 4x4 badge.

Nope, one or the other. The 4x2 badge only came on 1987 351s and 1987/88 460 equipped 2wd trucks. Those were the last year of carburetors in Ford trucks. Since they were neither 4x4 nor EFI, they got the terrible 4x2 badge.

The 4x4s got the 4x4 badge there. At least Fords EFI was MPFI, unlike GM that had TBI or Spider Injectors until the new millennium.

You can’t fit hardly anything in there and close the tailgate. There’s a reason a 6.5' bed is a short bed, and an 8' bed is a long bed.

Which I understand. Thats the business case for the Everest and Expedition. Make those with an FX4 Package and call it good. The Raptor blew sales estimates out of the water, even when it was SuperCab only. Give customers a choice but don’t make Bronco something that its not. A standard Bronco, whether mid-size or…

The Bronco (and the Blazer and the Ramcharger/Trailduster) existed because people wanted something reasonably capable, with an enclosed cargo compartment, without being unnecessarily huge like a Suburban. Something reasonably comfortable and luxurious, unlike a Jeep.

Are they going to make a Buick Park Avenir?

Well I don’t know why you are responding to a post from over four years ago, but I’ll respond. When I said “candy bar paint job” I wasn’t referring to “candy paint.” I work in the automotive industry and I know what candy paint is. I was referring to paint jobs like this:

He doesn’t drink

Thats a Ford Taurus.

Hey thanks for the compliments, and the measured and reasonable post. I entirely agree with you that there is a terrible stereotype that comes with owning an older Mustang. I wasn’t insulted at all. I just wasn’t sure that the gentleman above was worthy of the ration you were giving him. I thought his ride was decent…

I have a 2004 GT, whats it to you?

“Poor door fit? Check.”

My grandfather is 83 and he participated in this during the early 1950s. Many of the guys he was with developed problems with their thyroid, with an abnormal number of them dying of thyroid cancer. He had his removed and regulates it with medication.

I may be biased because I have a Mustang GT (not my only car), but what is remarkable about this picture? Seems to be a clean enough 5.0 Fox with Cobra wheels in need of new door striker bushings.

That’s obviously a full size Bronco:

Yes almost every car got them, including nearly every Honda, some Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, Ford, GM, and Chrysler. If you didn’t like them, again, it was easy to swap them out in like two hours. They aren’t that bad.

Yes, but you can swap the belts out in a couple hours. You could even swap the transmission in a couple of days, in a garage, by yourself. The Thunderbird SC with the 5 speed was around until 1995, and it received the newer interior in 1994.
