That’s called blending, not juicing.
For those not in the know, Ford specified special vanadium steel so the chassis iteslf is very flexible. This means the suspension has to do less work. If you ever get a chance, stop by the Piquette Plant in Detroit. They have a bare chassis you can flex by hand!
And you still had college money...it must be nice to be in the 1%
Still, just the coolness and variety is amazing.
Your family had a Bricklin and an Amphicar? You come from one hell of a bunch of mentals! I like it!
