The Worst Ford Mustang

This article title pisses me off

Worst Mustang?

Reskin that 4-cylinder Mustang as something more contemporary, add a little simplicity/lightness, call it something like, I dunno, Probe, and sell it for 30K. I bet it would do fairly well as as a Miata/86 competitor. Simple entry level Ford fun car. 

Bad take.

The thing is, it’s actually a good car (from what I’ve read).

They just used the wrong brand for it. And I still haven’t seen a rational explanation for that decision. The only thing that makes any sense is they just wanted an easy way to boost sales numbers instead of trying to build a new reputation for a new model.…

We all know it’s the Cyber Truck, but I’m going to say the Jeep Gladiator. It isn’t good at anything but projecting an image that says “I am a cargo shorts and wrap-around Oakley enthusiast who lies about attending Ranger school.”

I’ve not been able to watch it since they took the MotorTrend app away from us here in the uk, maybe now all the stuff I’ve missed will end up on YouTube. I hope so. I’ve been enjoying Freiburgers channel so perhaps there will be more content on there. 

He told me a couple weeks ago, and I couldn’t contain my excitement. This is easily the best channel on YouTube now. 

Wow I was expecting a V8 from an F430 or 458, an 812 V12 is interesting.

I know I am old school but it’s hard to take an “offroad SUV” seriously when it doesn’t have a solid rear axle.

As someone who has driven in India....I completely understand the need for a safe vehicle.

So damned if they do and damned if they don’t?

The car went from stolen to totaled.

The Mazda 3 AWD turbo is already better than we deserve. I drove an entry-level Audi (A3) and BMW (330i) recently, and the top-tier Mazda 3 beats them handily on every level- for way less money.

If they don’t know who the suspect is though, and ditch the probably stolen vehicle especially if they have multiple days to do so, then they indeed will escape punishment. So it’s sort of a fine line. Sure, if you have an absolute positive ID on somebody and know they’re driving their own car, but typically people tha…

With GPS trackers and magnets so inexpensive, why are police chases even a thing?  Tag the car with a few trackers and move in on them later when there’s no chance of a chase.  It’s not even a new idea, Batman has been doing it for decades.

On the flip, if it’s codified (or at least “policy”) that cops cannot give chase, then criminals in stolen cars (or using stolen plates) will simply drive away every time and escape punishment. Maybe no one cares if this happens, but maybe some do?

This makes me sad on so many levels. She is a beautiful thing. A work of art with equally lovely engineering. She is doomed because she was a combination passenger liner as well as a easily converted troop ship if needed. Part of the requirements was to make her as flame-proof as possible. Keep in mind the SS Normandy…
