Rumorpile: Next Generation F-150 To Have An Aluminum Body

It's freakin INSANE how we can agree about automotive things on an automotive website.  Who would have thought when politics aren't involved, things are civil?!? It's. Just. Crazy.

It's the economy, won't end well for auto makers.      Aviator isn't selling, is on the list, and one reason why Lincoln will go away.  Mustang is on the #4 Spot, the age of Pony cars is over.  4/10 of the slowest selling vehicles, Audi and VW. 

Buy a McClaren or something if that sort of otherworldly performance is your thing.  Reminds me of a Porsche test driver, who actually used public transit to go to work every day.  He was asked how many Porsches ever hit top speed regularly, and his response was "Every one of them does, after work while its owner is bull$h!ting his friends in the pub." My middle daughter had a modded Z06 that would legit hit 200 plus easily, cool car, but she sold it and bought an Audi when she had my daughter/my grand daughter about 3 years ago.  Posted this about 9 months ago, still holds true more than ever. When I say I see OEM's going away, I mean I see OEM's going away. Ford is cancelling the Escape and not replacing it. Ford is supposedly replacing it with an Electric. Given Fords success with Electrics, methinks they wind up like they were originally at the very beginning....a dude tinkering in his garage and attempting to build a car.  Stellantis will be the first to die, they are learning nothing, will learn nothing, can learn nothing, and are doomed to exit the auto market in the next decade.  Average selling days for them are horrible. And Chryco has been dying since the early 1970's.  On the good news side, even Ukraine's critics say the battle has changed. I like this guy.    Bike Shops going the way or auto's, no one wants to fix crap any more.    Into regular bikes rather than E bikes, but this looks like a good ride.   

PHOQUE YEAH!!! But I am at it again... Phoque LA!  Phoque the US! Go CANADA Go!!!    Vlad Jr. born in Montreal. So...there IS a Canadian element there.     I do have a problem with the Dodgers though.  Lasorda kicked out Youpi!!!   So that "phoque LA" thing actually does come outside of the political realm and from the sporting world.  But unfortunately though...that "phoque the US" thing is sadly political...
