Thank you! Exactly what I was going to point out.

Perhaps they should reconsider financing all of their $70k pickup trucks at 0% for 7 years LOL

Yesterday (Saturday) was the 48th consecutive running of the Rally of the Tall Pines in Bancroft Ontario. Four different rally events in one. Very entertaining to watch!

Thank you for pointing this out. It seems a lot of people have forgotten about that.

Ark Performance does quite a few of their exhausts with Helmholtz resonators. They do sound quite decent, compared to other after market options. 

No experience is bad experience. Even the most dismal of situations can teach us about perseverance, and if there is anything I have learned from making bad choices and not doing what I should, it is that even the mistakes have taught me something worth while.

As someone who has owned the same car for over 8 years, I relate to this statement. 

Marine engines really are the weird ducks of the engine world. Lots of different two stroke configurations, lots of V4s, and lots of crazy packaging. 

Thats a very rational thought. It is true that people do not keep vehicles for long, in fact I would guess that most people don’t have a vehicle long enough to pay it off, or at least for it to fall out of warranty. Most new vehicles end up in the used vehicle market only a couple years after purchased originally.

Well, I don’t know enough about that build beyond that it looks beautiful, but I can tell you that two stroke bikes use tuned exhaust pipes (technically expansion chambers) to fully and properly utilize exhaust scavenging in a two stroke cycle. That high pitched crackle is typically associated with expansion chambers…

I would hazard to disagree with you partially. While getting customers into new cars in a marketing imperative, I do not believe that new engines don’t last long or are engineered to fail.

I get peoples hesitation will non V8 trucks. I recently purchased a Silverado with the 4.3. I was hesitant at first, having owned V8 trucks in the past. I drive a F150 with a 3.7 N/A as a work truck, slow as balls, no low end. So I understand what you are saying.

Lol, I am in no way, at all, butthurt. It’s the internet, buddy, not to be taken very seriously. In fact, this entire dialogue is rather amusing.

I thought maybe you would do it pro bono, you know, as a community service.

At least someone isn’t so serious around here.

U so funny! Maybe I should get you to write my jokes for me.

It’ll be okay. Everything will work out.

I’m honestly not even talking about that. I am unsure how one sentence joking about Ford’s recent decision to stop producing cars coincides with them purchasing an old building ended up being a serious discussion on corporate ethics and business practises.

This was written as a joke aimed at Ford’s recent decision to stop making passenger cars.
