I’ve tried beer, don’t care for the taste at all. I much prefer Crown Royal or Bacardi rum. Mixes better than beer, and always enjoy how it goes down when I do a shot of it. Granted I never drink a lot of it.

I go by the Silverdome basically every day, and from where I go by it you can’t even see all the VW’s that are parked there. (I’m on Opdyke when I go by it in the afternoon, and getting onto M59 in the morning). I know they are there, as I’ve seen the trucks hauling loads of VW’s. Hardly is an eye sore to have all…

“Ford clearly is a fuck up.

It did drop the manual trans for the American market in 2011, but in Mexico you can get a chassis cab, 6.2l v8, no frills, 5 spd truck. (Yes even in the new aluminum body). I’ve driven aforementioned truck’s before, they are quite fun actually. 

That thing doesn’t look bad at all, little bit of Super Duty there. Also just like to point out, the standard 3.5l was introduced to the F-150 in 2015 with the aluminum body. Before that it was a 3.7l v6, which made 20-30hp more. I’m kind of interested in seeing what a 2.7l F-150 with a 10 spd will do for economy, vs…

Need I say more?

After reading this article, I decided to look up the rarely mentioned Focus Electric (which is also the one electric I’m familiar with), on autotrader.com searching the whole of the US for every one of them under 10k, I came back with 52 of them. These things retailed roughly the same as the 500e.

Seems like a good idea so far, but I’d have either the drop of the diff have a combination of driveshaft input and electric motor, or the rear cover instead be an electric motor that directly meshes with the pinion gear (depending on rear axle design of course).

I’ve actually thought of a similar system for fwd cars,…

Ok I’ll be the crazy one here and say that maybe this guy isn’t as crazy as you think, is it a bit odd to collect 83-86 Lebaron converitbles? Yes. But is it cheap? YES. That could be some of the reason I think. By far the cheapest car collection you can have to begin with.

This is true, sometimes the line between MPV and CUV can be a bit foggy.

It kinda is though, as it’s the replacement for the old Escape Hybrid, and sits on the same platform as the Escape, and I believe it uses some of the same components as the Escape. So basically its an Escape that sits lower to the ground without the option for AWD.

I’ve driven plenty of both, they are both based on the same platform, and are infact roughly the same size, the Explorer is just taller is all.

Just avoid the tunnels in the Alps with a Miura, never know when the Italian Mafia is waiting with a bulldozer on the other side!

Thought i would throw this one out there, someone actually posted on craigslist a 2000 Chevy Malibu in the Detroit area, as a possible christmas present.... http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/cto/537332…
