Former Ford technician here. The worst I encountered has to be the 2002-2005 Explorers (specifically 2002/2003's).

Lot’s of good suggestions here, I like the Viper and MR2 posts.

Try getting a cylinder head off of any Ford modular V8, V10's or the un-related 6.0 diesels in Ford SUVs/Trucks made from 98 on. We found out pretty quickly at our dealership that it was actually easier to spend the time (and get good at) lifting the whole body off the frame for those trucks/SUVs. Luckily those motors…

Tell that to rusted(fused) in place torsion bars on any GMT400/610/800 and their torsion keys. People in the rust-belt know this all too well....

@David Tracy, no inclusion of the Jeep WJ on this slideshow?

The Cygnet wasn’t meant to sell, Aston knew that from day one. It was simply a compliance/loophole vehicle regarding emissions/mpg regs. I worked at a company that was doing work with Aston at the time and they were “giving” Cygnets away with new “real” Astons being purchased. They never wanted to make it, it was just…

The Tremor does have two things that are important to highlight:

Can’t be a 1995, it doesn’t have airbags. And those 3 spoke wheels make me think that this isn’t off by just one model year.

In the early 2000s I was working as a tech at a Ford dealer in a fairly affluent community, and one repeat customer came in and said “Hey I just bought a 1970 Mustang Boss 302 that needs a little bit of engine work, would you guys be able to do that?”.

Electric school buses are probably one of the best (if not the best) use-case of two way charging (V2G). Think of what yard full of school buses does over 1 year. Charge overnight, run in the morning, sit most of the day, run in afternoon. Sits at the yard on weekends, during summer, during other holidays....now your…

I’m skeptical about this one. Isn’t that front end from up to 1986,not 1987? Also, I’m pretty sure that Ford never made a factory F250 dually in any generation, so that means it was converted somewhere at sometime (Centurion maybe?).

So, as a preface, I want this company and all the other EV truck startups to succeed. However, the wheel/hub motor design has some serious flaws which is why no other large brand is pursuing it. I know that PML Flightlink in the U.K. tried this back in ~2007ish and did concept cars with Volvo and Lightning Electric…

If you were the CEO of GM in 1970, what would you have done differently in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s?

When I was a technician at a Ford dealer I saw something similar happen twice. Once the third row of an Explorer had a completely different material and color than the other two rows and the other time was prepping a Taurus that had a console shifter and a column shifter, but only the console was hooked up. Both of…

Nice Price, here is why (full disclosure I currently own a van that is almost identical and has 31in tires)

YES! It was so incredibly ugly, they did a refresh on it which made it a lot better. Funny story, I was actually in college and the head designers and engineers brought the Durango and Ram heavy duty to my campus and I accidently said how ugly the car was....to one of the head designers/engineers (can’t remember which…
