Father has a 352FE in a Galaxie that we run zinc additive in and no problems thus far.  

I’d add 2nd generation Fusion to that list.

I currently have 227k on mine with the original engine and transmission. I know of several people approaching or beyond 300k on their 2nd generation Fusions. These were good cars built during the Mulally era when the focus was on quality. I think Ford has gone downhill in…

I’ve not heard of water pump issues on the Vulcan or the Duratec 3L. Yes, it’s just one anecdote, but my sister drove a 3L Duratec/24v Taurus to well over 200k without a water pump failure.

Perhaps he’s referencing a different generation of Taurus or something because I’ve never heard of that issue on that generation.…

Your reference was not lost, but David did not survive my comments because of your martyrdom or the martyrdom of other “good” men shielding him.

He survived it because he’s a blogger who is capable of handling criticism.

Constructive criticism is how people improve their craft.

It’s part of the job. (And that should tell you all you need to know about me.)

You seem to be more upset than David is.

Fair enough.  Thanks for responding.

My mistake, then, David.

Perhaps I am expecting something unreasonable, but what I was suggesting is a bit different than what you’ve mentioned above.

Yes, your article is about a Ford Aerostar AND a Craigslist listing for a Ford Aerostar, but what I’m saying is that the text you are linking isn’t linked in a way that…

Jalopnik exists to make money.  There’s no shame in that, but it’s true.

Yes, an internal linking strategy appears to be at the core of G/O media’s strategy to lower bounce rates, enhance the crawling of pages by Google, and increase overall page views in order to ... yep, increase ad revenue.

That’s super obvious, and I can’t blame y’all.

I guess it’s so rare that David forgot about the fact he already posted that Aerostar manuals are rare in 2018 by showing us another manual Aerostar:

Yes, I read your posts, David.

And, no, I’m not mad because I know you are in love…

Realize that a lot of what you are seeing is a visual trick. Ford did the same thing on the Mach E.

This was the car I learned to drive in. Almost identical. I also have to say that the Gen 1 cars felt more solid than the Gen 2 cars.

Why not both? Well, I explained why it’s better for Tesla to handle this instead of adding one more frivolous law to the books.

But I guess I need to elaborate more so you can understand:

I think what some people aren’t considering is what this kind of law being proposed means to real people outside of Tesla.

Here’s an…

Well, that’s pretty easy. Because one of them has already been tried and it won’t solve Tesla’s general problems with contextual analysis in the real world.

At least in some states, banning traffic controls signs from appearing on billboards is already technically illegal.

Take Connecticut for example:

The author of this video disagrees.

If you watch the video, he suggests that these edge cases need to be handled.

I tend to agree.

Still, if the requirement isn’t evidence, influencers can say whatever they want to their followers without any accountability to the truth.

Self-evident or not to a Detroit native, Jalopnik is read globally so if the assumption was that people should inherently know the job trends for a specific metro area, that is a…

Good on you for finding the data.

To be clear: I wasn’t arguing that what Erin said was false.

But if Erin wants to call herself a “journalist,” citations and data are basic expectations. It’s the foundation for any persuasive argument: if you make a statement, back it up with evidence and data.

Considering the typos…

You never want to make general statement in journalism

If the Ridgeline doesn’t do this anymore, then they’ve fixed it’s biggest problem:

You apparently have never seen original Mustang then.  The twin pod design has been in Mustangs forever.
