Definitely a solid Flex/MKT replacement. Shame they didn't unshittacularize the interior of the MKX when they turned it into the Nautilus. Get this interior design into the Nautilus and MKC and they'll stop selling to just rental companies. 

Obviously, youre not a golfer.

Ghosn did some wonderful things for Nissan, and the world as a whole back in the early aughts.  The Japanese manufacturers all sold their souls to the beige devil as the millennium approached.  Their lifeless shitboxes were still well ahead of American and European quality, but that is like eating oatmeal and vitamin…

Since when did that crowd buy small trucks

Centurylink responded to the tax cuts and removal of net neutrality by canceling christmas bonuses, giving millions in bonuses to executives, announcing a 10% workforce reduction, and closing all but two of our retail stores. Rumors are flying of more workforce reductions too, plus efforts by the company to ditch all…

4000ish, Id hoped. 4500 would be fine.  F-150s start at 4000 lbs and this is supposed to be smaller, but obviously the beefed up drivetrain would increase the weight.

Depending on configuration, the generation of Ranger I drove was between ~3900 and ~4200 lbs. Also not sure how someone could be into cars enough to be on this website and think weight is just a number on a spec sheet.

I’d add Nik Blackhurst, but that'd just add another 5 years to Project Binky. 

I spent a year and a half beating the utter shit out of a global ranger in Afghanistan. Diesel stick shift heaven. Got it airborne a few times. Loved that truck and have been eyeballing this Ranger Raptor eagerly. Then I saw it weighs 5200 lbs. I'll wait for the next one when it's aluminum. 

Oh joy, you can drive it very fast without feeling fast. How thrilling. I think I will keep my 535, thank you very much.  I can drive it very fast without feeling it, but I get added excitement from wondering where the next boost leak is going to come from or how many dozens of miles the intake manifold gasket will…

Eh, I wouldnt want anything of this sort if I lived in namby pamby land where people cry if it gets below freezing. But I live in Minnesota, and blizzards happen. I live at the back of an apartment complex and it often isnt plowed by the time I get home from work, and I got my 535xi stuck a couple times last winter bec…

I would estimate the chances of these things being used correctly will be about a bajillionty to one. Despite being given very clear instructions on how John Deere Gators were to be used on deployment, they still couldn’t figure out not to use them on patrols. Despite an interpreter informing a mission commander en…

My parents damn sure didn't spend most of their lives fighting in the Cold War so I could make piddlyass 1/4 lb. burgers at home.

You should have thought of that before you decided to be the standard which airlines use to torture me.

I had to ditch my FiST when I broke my elbow last year, wound up in a 535i.  It's plenty capable but jeez I miss the fun of the FiST. That said, I have to do a lot more miles for work and the ladyfriend now, in addition to hauling around her kids every so often, and probably can't go back to something that small and…

Ah, the glory days. Was a place in Minnesota called Red Rock. About a mile long industrial strip road with really wide shoulders for semis to park on during the day. Place would be deserted at night, and had been used for drag racing since allegedly the 1940s. Every weekend cars would gather, parked along the…

Pretty sure that is high treason if the 83 in your name means you were born then.  Not knocking Galaxy, but if you’ve betrayed the 90s, may they hunt you down to a bloody and ignominious end.

I didnt know NYC was Afghanistan

Drip pan still in the bed too.  Tsk tsk tsk.
