Remember, they sold 380,000 Mustang IIs in 1974 vs 135,000 in 1973. The Mustang II never got down to the ‘73 level of sales. To Ford they were successful. It’s when considering what they were like to drive that they were failures.

Where’s Pete?

Five years ago when current product was designed it was far from a sure thing that Tesla would even survive. GM is not alone in missing the EV boat as car manufacturers become more and more conservative as they get bigger. Did they, and Toyota and Honda and a raft of other manufacturers get it wrong? Certainly, and…

What is old is new again.

GM took one look at Tesla’s upstart success, and decided to make an electric Nissan Versa rival instead.

That’s fine, but it could be better.

Graham Hill was the most English looking Englishman to ever English. I believe his mustache was awarded the OBE.

How many subscribers are Verizon customers who get the first year for free? Count me in that group.

Wasn’t GM bigger than Ford? Anyway, being a car nut it’s hard for me to work up the desire to watch this because I know how things ultimately turn out and I’m not talking about who wins the race.

All I know is that you always drink gin with a mark, kid. They can’t tell if you cut it.

If you love them let them go. Wouldn’t you rather have them go to someone who will use them and maintain them than for them to sit neglected and deteriorating in your yard? Remember, you are selling things, not the memories they helped you make.

What a shame. It’s a downright travesty. Why is a SEMA car painted gray?

Well, she’s not the first person to have that opinion of me.

I’m honestly surprised that Kristen didn’t get some good old fashioned racism to go with the misogyny. Is this progress? Yeah, I didn’t think so either.  

My wife is going to be pissed. Gingerbread is her favorite holiday flavoring by far.

Q: How out of tune was my vocal?

I thought it was a big mistake to mandate that all Dodge cars had to adopt the truck grill for “branding” purposes but the exterior styling miscues were miniscule next to the interiors. 

I think that looks great but the exterior styling of the Magnum wasn’t really the issue. It was the interior, which was cost cut to oblivion.

The only problem I foresee is that Roger is not a young man so what happens when he does pass from the scene? Then there won’t be that person of sterling reputation at the helm and the thing could implode, but I agree that as long as Penske himself is there running things it will be a good thing.
