Escort ZX2's are like cockroaches here in n.e. Ohio, even our nasty winters can’t kill the damn things.

Oops.

That’s due to the dual clutch automatic transmission which the RS thanksfully doesn’t have.

Way, WAY back when as a teen I saw the results of a derailment in Berea, Ohio. Back in Conrail’s early days they continued Penn Central’s fine tradition of wrecking freight trains, and one day I heard about one that happened while I was in school. After school I ran to the tracks to see the pileup, wasn’t all that…

When did Japan appolgize for the Bataan Death March? The Rape of Nanking? The treatment of out P.O.W.s? Oh, wait... Never.

When was it ever IN control?

GM tried that once. Remember Saturn? Didn’t end well...

For now, anyway...

Works for me.

Sure, why not?

I think my bone stock P71 would bottom on that driveway.

I’m diggin’ that LTD II cop car :) .

Likely better than mine anyhoo...

Geez... I’m straight as hell but DAMN... and the cat’s adorable, too!

You’ve worked here I see... (currently employed at a Lincoln dealer)...

We have one of those here in Cleveland called the Riverfront Line. It basically goes north almost to the shore of Lake Erie, makes a loop, and comes back to its origin, with absolutely nothing near it that riders may need. Cost a metric shit ton of $$$, too.

VERY difficult in these parts, because Cleveland winter.

A reluctant NP @ $10k, an enthusiastic NP @ $6k or so.

Easy for you to say...
