Is it bad that I REALLY want to see her try that again with a US spec Transit 150 with the EcoBoost V6? The way she blew past everyone w a 4cyl diesel, I’d love to see her w 2x the HP.
It’s the only way to make a multivalve engine with a decent compression ratio and enough valve lift to make actual, usable power. At some point, the valves and piston are going to have to occupy the same space.
Close. It’s too close to the Ford E-Series vans, which were (and technically still are) in production when the time came for Tesla to name the 3.
Nothing like Vintage Porsche Turbo lag in a vehicle that’s MORE top heavy than a stock VW van.
That’s not the issue. The issue is that the original owners of this system were never told that they were going to have to pay additional monthly fees to keep using it at a certain point. If Cadillac said, "This feature costs $5,600 and includes 3 years of this service, after which will cost $15-$25/mo," that would be…
You must be new to this. Check the production figures for the Model X, Y and 3. Tesla won’t produce the Single motor “Base” model until well into its production run. There’s also zero information about available options/packages outside of the mythical “Full Self-Driving” Capability, leaving the price of the…
The problem isn’t that the recall is stopping the person from wanting to buy it, it’s stopping Volvo from selling it to them.

This almost doesn’t even feel like news. This comes across as the kind of thing which I’d never think about, but if I ever came across it (in a Rolls or Bentley) I’d just accept it’s just one of those things that rich people have that us poor's will never have access to.
Fun Fact, the Taunus V4 was available, with 2 bonus cylinders in the Bronco II and the later Explorer. (Mustang got a version, eventually)
Could we get someone to gift him this kit with a partially broken impeller wheel, then laugh at the 6 figure engine carnage?
You read the part where the inspiration for this car was a 70's car, modded in the 80's, right? Not exactly a high mark for a beautiful, properly proportioned vehicle. It's a commissioned one-off, and it's what the customer wanted.
FWIW, I’m starting to have that happen to me, just driving around in a blacked out (OEM) Explorer.
You’ve got it backwards. That’s a Crown Vic with an add on, adhesive keypad, suck on after the fact.
Steel Reserve Alloy Series? I've never heard a more accurate way to describe the inside of the can taste of Steel Reserve.
“WHO WANTS A MUSTACHE RIDE?"
Look what’s happening. He’s digging his heels in and has no intention of going anywhere. He could lose by a landslide and his supporters will think the “Dems" stole the election with a made up virus, created to legitimize "fraudulent" mail in balloting. It's only going to get worse before it gets better.
At least with an IFS and rack and pinion steering, there’s at least a chance there won’t be death wobble. The F-Super Duties, however.....
The first attempt at parking within the lines at Starbucks was the end of their truck experience.
FWIW, your biggest problem is being an Editor for an automotive news blog and not being phased by the concept of riding a Cimarron.
