because 'Merica! We need full size, V8 powered RWD badassness!

Agreed.. I want me one of the older diesel ones..

Pretty sad if you think about it. All of the cheap, durable, simple and reliable vehicles that are the back bone of America are dying. This year, we lost the Town car and Crown Vic, the Danger Ranger, the Dakota, and now the Econoline.. what a depressing year.

Everyone is so quick to bash the corvette drivers, but damn, that camera guy spends 45 seconds filming nothing, then 10 seconds of the race, but no after wreck footage!?!? It's called editing first of all, and you can even do it on youtube.

Come on Graverobber,

hahahahahaha that's terrible

Yeah, i believe so.. even though my man edwards lost, it beat the hell out of watching Johnson win his 6th title

Thats what I was going to say.. a gopro would get much better footage.. and if it got hit, you'd only need a new 40 dollar housing.. which im guessing is cheaper than a new mexican.

It was an exciting race. The first championship I feel they actually RACED for.. every single race.. and the last 3 races, tony winning and carl second..

Would be pretty sweet.. all you need to do is mod that 7.3 Powerstroke and you'd have a big brown truck that hauls ass.. and hauls packages

I was going to say "nice 1 tire frier" but then I realized that two tires were spinning.. imagine that with a locker!

Damn it, I missed it! I was here on jalopnik..like where I am during most important events in my life, like during my kid's birth.

"Actually, he ran right around the police officer and into the cop's cruiser, taking off with the car still holding on to the vehicle"

Wow look at that! The building of the first new Body on Frame Ford Explorer! Wish the real ones were as good

4.6's make plenty of torque.. maybe not for the weight of a CV, but 4.6's can easily make 700 hp.. especially with a 4 valve.. hell my friends 2V makes over 600 at the wheels..

Sorry, but that's no "Windsor V8" meeting push rod.. it's a Modular V8, but it was built in the Windsor plant..

If i were to spend a bunch of time and money on a RWD Focus, this is what I'd do.

haha, that place reminds me of when I ate there before getting my driver's license. I never, ever could figure out what they do to make the food taste so bad. I mean, you really have to try to make Mexican food taste that bad.

Too bad they fucked over the explorer and now it's primarily a FWD shitbox.

It just looks awesome.
