I remember seeing the GT90 in the Great Mall of the Bay Area back in the 90s. The mall, being a former Ford factory, proudly featured the GT90 near one of it’s entrances. I always made sure to walk to that one and eyeball the heck out of the car.

Has it been 23 years now? My god. I remember GT1 and GT2 like it was yesterday, with my digital controller, cursing at any driving test involving a Dodge Viper.

About the only thing worth anything out of that Lincoln diesel is the forged crankshaft from the engine, often used in M20 performance builds.

Ou in North Dakota, there’s a plant that makes these blades.  It’s pretty interesting seeing how truckers get them out of the plant and down the road!  North Dakota, thankfully, is short on trees and most things tall.

No big deal, oxygen, contrary to popular belief, isn’t flammable. It is, ofc, a heckuva accelerant for combustion.  Now if you were between a truck carrying liquid oxygen and a truck carrying liquid gasoline, maybe there’s a case for some alarm :P

Mahindra has had a license to build Jeeps since 1947. They shouldn’t have had to redesign. Ford was the one who designed that 7-slot grill and Jeep face, made more Jeeps than FCA ever did. AMC made the best Jeeps.

My little brother had one of these back in 2001. Baby blue, immaculate condition, bought for $1500 from an elderly man with under 50K miles. I drove it a few times, and while it wasn’t terrible, the 3-speed auto would mean high RPM on the highway. The seats inspire zero confidence and the engine got pretty buzzy over…

Friend of mine bought a base-model 2.5L 2013 Escape back in 2014. I made fun of her for a while (for not buying an Ecoboost), but then I drove it. Aside from a lack of midrange torque, really not a bad vehicle IMO, and it gets 28-29MPG comfortably on the highway. It needed new front wheel bearings at 80K, but no other…

Revoke the muscles of the guy who thinks a Buick aint strong.

As much as I love older Buicks for their honest reliability, cheap maintenance/insurance, and comfortable mile-eating ability on the open road, I couldn’t fathom paying this much for a J-car. I have to take my dice away, sadly.

That shot was over twice as long as the main street in my 2-stoplight town!

Nah man, don’t let the FUD by some of these guys scare you. Honestly, the 3.5L might be inferior to the Pentastar, but yours is a late one (your engine dates back to 1993) and should be just fine with regular maintenance.  If you don’t know when the timing belt was done, you should get it done tho, just to be safe.

My parents had the van version of this, bought new in 1985.  Funny one mentions “sweaty” because I’m pretty sure that’s what my parents were doing the first time we took it to San Francisco and tried to go up a hill with all us kids in it.  Only thing slower than this might be a W123 240D.

I don’t consider this a motorcycle. Anyway, I don’t consider it enough of one to take “world’s largest” from the Gunbus 410.

These are great cars. Comfortable, long-legged on the highway, extremely reliable. I had one of these for 7 years, an ‘89 I used as a winter beater in North Dakota. Never failed me, ever, and surprisingly awesome in the snow.

Nice-looking ebike. In addition to the Brooks saddle the author mentioned, I spot Brooks grips. Unfortunately, this bike is Likely to be real expensive, I remember the last few times H-D has made stuff for pedalheads and it just being stupid-overpriced and mediocre. Nice-looking, but only the fanboys could justify…

I’m a member of the motor-assisted bicycling community, and some of the guys in the community love to race. The engine of choice is the 212, mounted in the bicycle frame’s triangle and usually hooked up to a single-speed drivetrain (CVTs do exist, just too wide). The 212 might be 6.5HP stock, but a few bolt-ons and a…

Well, there is the GTI. I’ve long been fascinated how Volkwagen basically makes low-revving stump-pullers out of that lil turbo 4banger, a lot of them hit torque peak at 1800RPM or less which then stays more-or-less flat all the way to 5K, where the HP takes over to 6500RPM or less. You can rev them, but you don’t…

An all-original bone-stock ‘85 325e, complete with diving boards and bottlecaps. 300K miles and still purrs like a long-legged kitten while getting 28-30MPG. Burns less oil now than it did when it was new, too!
