I’m betting that if they went to court over this, they would win. The bad publicity over this alone should change their minds about it.

I xcan’t for the life of me understand why these people don’t put some sort of protective cage around the propellers. Pretty sure a stray pigeon or even a hawk would bring one of these down. Not to mention accidentally sticking your hand too close to the thing.

No. Third car was a 1965 TR4, current car 50 years later is a TR8. And an MGB. And a TR7, And a RX7. All roadsters (convertable two seaters.)

Doesn’t matter. A safe driver checks it EVERY TIME. Sensors fail. Most driving school and company safety supervisors require a VISUAL CHECK. Only takes a second.

It’s late. Shouldn’t you be in bed or watching TV or something?

Not so sure how much of that noise at speed was the motor or the tires.

Rust. Just rust.

OK, I admit it. Back in the late 60's and early 70's when I was a Car Jockey at Towson Ford, I would do this sort of thing. If the car had to go down to the car wash, I would take the long way. Especially if it was a Shelby Cobra or 350GT, or a Sunbeam Tiger, or TVR, or even the boss’s 429 LTD that I and another guy…

Is that a Z or ZX? It makes a big difference. The Z was an upgraded 240/260 Z with the addition of a 6 cylinder engine. The ZX, one of which I have owned, wss a good running car but there WERE a few crappy things about it.

Frankly, I don’t see your point.. A friend recently rented a popular model SUV to take a long trip. They had a hell of a time getting all of their luggage in, and the back seat was cramped. Her regular car is a Chrysler 300. She could have gotten everything in there, and more roomy back seats.

Guess my “Old Guyness” is kickig in here, but I kind of liked the outfit. She carried it off well.

Reminds me of a lot of Sci Fi shows. Kind of cool. 

Jeez. This just happened to me last week driving my TR8. It’s scary as hell, let me tell you.

The problem here is that as airports rebuild and update, this list actually can change daily. I was recently in Oakland’s airport, and it was so much better than the shit hole is was a couple of years ago I didn’t recognize the place. 

Here’s the thing. Ford build a new GT and gets a million dolloer or more for the thing, and a lot of them have problems out of the box. GM, with a proven record of building a solid, dependable sports car, comes out which what everyone has been demanding, possibly asking less than 1/6 the price of the Ford, and people…

In an entire week of running around SF and Oakland with my daughter, I NEVER saw anyone using them and every rack was totally full. Just my impression.

You here so many bad things about these cars, but there is a lady in our neighborhood who drives one of these daily. I once asked her if she had toruble getting service, and she informed me that there was a Maserati certified mechanic locally who takes care of everything she needs at not outrageous prices.

When I visited Oakland and San Francisco earlier this Summer, I was surprised at the nmber of Ford labeled bicycle rental stands around town. The funny thing is, I never saw anyone riding one. (they rented both electric and self powered bikes.)

Well, I’ve never heard of THAT happening, but I would not put it past Wells Fargo.

What’s even a bit funnier is that Arizona doesn’t recognize it at all, even in the Summer. So, when you cross the Arizona/California line, there will always be a two hour time difference.
