It’s definitely an epidemic. Just two weeks ago a Coca-Cola transport truck peeled the roof off it’s trailer at the railroad trussel on Waley St at Assembly in Columbia, SC.

With Lee Iacocca as President of Ford Motor Company, he encouraged the development of the modern garageable minivan concept in the early 1970s with the Carousel prototype. It was rejected for production by upper management because they were too afraid it would eat away at Country Squire and Torino wagon sales. After

 Ford developed the Carousel Minivan in the early 1970s up to the point they had a running finished protoype but the masterminfs at Ford were too afraid it would eat into their precious Country Squire Wagon and Torino wagon sales so they never produced it. When Iaccoca was booted from Ford he to their best idea with

Has anyone taken into consideration that both GM and Ram have redesigned models ramping up production and buyers were holding off their truck purchase until they were released so they can buy the NEW VERSION?

Timeless design. They were also easy to draw when I was young and had aspirations of being a car designer.

Both my 2008 and 2010 Mustangs had a running pony in the frit area above the rear view mirror.

GMs paint cannot even survive two years without major fading and blotching.

The Nissan Terrano II was rebadged as Ford Maverick in Europe and it was replaced by the American Ford Escape badged as a Maverick.

The Ford Escape was sold in Europe as the Ford Maverick in the early to mid 2000s and I confused the hell out of people putting Maverick nameplates on my 2003 Escape.

No the G5 was not a version of the G6. The G5 was a badge engineered version of the Chevy Cobalt sold at Pontiac dealers.

ALS, many vehicles with automatic or manual transmission had ignition locks that stop the key from turning back past the ACC position so you do not accidentally lock the steering column. This type of lock cylinder required pressing the key itself in to be able to turn the lock cylinder to the lock position. This is

The car I learned to drive was my Aunt’s 1976 Mercury Bobcat which she bought brand new and had until the day she passed two years ago. I think one of her kids decided to keep it. Anyway, the Bobcat survived a direct hit with a deer as evidenced by the smashed grille my Aunt never fixed. So yeah it was a perfect car

My first thought when this was brought up was how many Hyundai owners follow up on regularly scheduled maintenance? They do good to get at least the oil changed!

9Safety features on my 1991 Ford Probe? Hahahaha... Oh wait! I have laminated safety glass, radial tires, four wheel disc brakes, motorized passive shoulder belts, a break away rear view mirror.... I’m sure there is more...

Then it does not have an interlock cable from the shifter which requires the separate release button to be used instead. Automatics were never required to have an interlock attach to the shifter for this purpose. The safety standard only required that the ignition lock not be able to lock the steering column unless

I can testify to this with my current driver, a 91 Ford Probe. They used Mazda ignition switch locks and all same vintage Mazdas will do the same thing.

This was typical of most cars with a manual transmission that there was a release button to allow the ignition switch to turn all the way back so you could pull the key out. This was done so that you would not accidentally lock the steering column if you needed to turn the ignition switch off in an emergency. It was

It’s nothing to do with frameless windows. My 99 Nissan Maxima with fulled framed door glass has the window roll down feature when the unlock button is held down on the remote fob.

So who is going to sue who over the use of the “Elite” name since Ford is also using it for a trim package on the Edge?

My brother and I used to sit in the back seat and burn the heads 0ff toy soldiers with the armrest cigarette lighters 😂😂😂
