Yep, with all that pollution from making and discarding the batteries every ten years per car...

I remember that one, the safari beetle? They did put in a bigger, turbo charged (I believe) engine. Gahd, that would be fun!

I've actually done that before. Cruising down a back road one day, come up on a gate and armed guards. I didn't think it was worth it going any further.

I'd say the energy content would be maybe half or a quarter of that. But still, imagine vaporizing all that fuel and lighting it off with a proper ratio. I imagine that an accidentally shorted battery pack could do the same with ease. Hell, you can try it with a laptop (or not, if you don't like being on fire)

The video shows a blue '65 coupe. The most common classic Mustang. One that I have, although he's unmodified, save for the headphones and mic.

At least now he's hanging out with many of the Group B stars. May God watch over his family.

Or how Adam Savage got a ten inch razor blade through. Or how a businessman brought a gun onboard in his briefcase. I think it was loaded, too.

Similar thing happened to me too. Two cars in a corner of the lot was all, and a few lightpoles near the ends. Not much more. I saw the cop pull from around the corner, so I decided it was a good time to leave the parking lot. He pulls in before I leave, and I know he knows what's up, so I simply roll down my window

I could have sworn it was a Lancia!

Ya know, its codes like that that keep me from living anywhere near San Fransisco. Not that I'd live in Cali anyways. But it's my damn house, I can do whatever I want with it. There's a reason why SF is one of the most expensive cities to live in in the U.S.

Shane, I agree with you fully. The entire, full, and complete purpose of the Boss 302 is: To. Be. Driven. If I was an engineer for the Boss, and found out it was not being driven and simply put away by some collector, I'd be irate. Oh sure, it'd be nice to have a few saved for museums and such, but even those should

Yeah, I'd prefer it in blue with white, or red with black.

Yep, engine's definitely pointed in the wrong direction.

Now playing

Apparently my first-glance reading comprehension needs some work. Glancing over the headline, I read "Saudis give British royal family..." First natural thought...Since when did the Saudis make cars? Second natural thought: Saudis in Audis

But...but...because boat

Yep, Ford I know uses Catia. However, I do most of my modeling in Inventor. Great for doing suspension parts, engines, wheels, and stuff. Then I get to surfaces. I'm not very good at them. I'll just leave it at that.

Hey, Alice was the name of my Focus! I approve. Her tires must be punished.

That's exactly right. The Ecoboost, although getting better mileage than the 5.0, would take up the same spot performance wise, negating the need for a V8. However, eliminating the V8 would kill everything that makes it a Mustang. Oh sure, they could downsize it to 4.0L, fit a couple turbos on it and bump it to 500

Agreed, the Mustang still has the better power to weight ratio, and I believe it is coming out with a handling pack, if you're the type that cares more about that sort of stuff than speed (which is me, but I like the sound of the 5.0 better than the sixer).

Back when I had a Focus, I was casually looking at V8 swaps and AWD. Independent of each other, I wasn't quite that ambitious to put both together. But the more I think about it, the more I want to do it. Just think about it: Group B on Steroids! Teehee!
