Old small pickup trucks especially domestics, especially a GM S-series. They were all but designed to be abused. Dents are like cool scars, rust is like your best friend's hair starting to go gray. Off-road them, slide them around snowy parking lots, load them with an apartment's full of stuff, do it all. the more…
Neutral: No. Ford made several great (one might even say "bold") moves in the past several years, namely in their heeding constant cries from enthusiasts to bring the Euro-derived models to the US. Focus, great. New Fusion/Mondeo, home run.

It's got the EcoTec3 which is a Gen V engine (LTx based), the Gen IV stuff was still called "Vortec". That means it's got direct injection, variable valve timing, and the cylinder deactivation (although that isn't new to the Gen V). It'll be interesting to see how much these truck 5.3s (and the LT1 of course) go for…
it was a simpler time. a better time.
Wait, he's all in favor of reducing greenhouse gasses and shit right? Oh wait - that probably applies to everyone BUT him.
