I always half-seriously wonder about getting an old, cheap limo as a family hauler. The kids would get a kick out of being dropped off at school in a limo every morning, probably a decent cruiser on road trips (although I bet bad on gas with no pick up).

Note that Cat 5 (or 4, or 3) is ONLY a metric for wind speed.  A small hurricane with high winds and relatively light rain could be a Cat 5 but far less damaging than a larger hurricane with more rain but lower wind, due to the greater area covered, and more total water dumped/flooding.

Recreational rage and social justice would prevent a movie such as Airplane from being produced today.

Nah, this body style looked nice. The one before it looked like a jelly bean.

I always wanted to get a V6 Mustang and give it a “Meh 1" badge.

I’m confused. The article implies several years of restoration have gone into this, yet it looks like it was last registered in 2016?

Wait, you mean having pineapple on pizza, or the debate about it?

I’d consider getting a clue. Ford is discontinuing cars as a whole because they can't figure out how to build a profitable car that people want to buy. Other car manufacturers will continue to build and sell cars regardless of the tariffs. All this is code for "we are inept in the car business, but we can't tell…
