Saw a long line of all types of Model A Fords going to Mukilteo speedway for an old car show. Was very cool. Pic of the Model A Fords

Yes, It started for me on Thursday, we have had weird issues in the past so I like Balthazar thought it would sort itself out but after today trying to upload a picture the wife took for me of a bunch of Model 4 Fords on the freeway, it seems to be an ongoing issue. OK, Just tried from my smart phone uploading the Model A Ford pic to the August auto thread and no go, Same thing as on the computer. So we clearly have a picture issue. I am starting to think maybe either the database is corrupt or the picture loader software is broken. ? @Drew Dowdell If there is anything you want me to test or try, let me know. Got my phone with me all the time. Thank you

If not for the F150, Ford might very well be a dead company now. -
Weird uploads as the picture uploads but nothing shows. I can open it just fine on my computer of this suicide door white Lincoln from my neighborhood. Anyone else having problems uploading pictures?

Tesla's Board Plans To Meet With Advisers About Going Private
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Tesla
I am thinking Musk has got himself in a pickle. -
@ocnblu You will like this, someone recorded the sound of the new mid-engine corvette. The story says it sounds like a flat plane V8 https://jalopnik.com/i-have-no-idea-what-this-mid-engine-corvette-c8-r-race-1828203040

This is also very cool - Compilation of all current chevy truck faces. https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--gUCSVPwr--/c_scale,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800/bxqwv4phidojbea7l7lm.mp4

WOW wonder what made the cab pop off like that. Wonder if it is rust.
-
Yes if as Drew stated driven in an optimal manner which goes against human nature. Worst part is the CVTs over the long haul just do not keep up the strength. Auto's with them might as well move right to a Plug=in hybrid design with ICE generator as a superior powertrain than go to the CVT.

Looking at the Edmunds site for the 2018 ZL1 V8 comes in at 3883 lbs USA Today story says the 2019 ZL1 V8 comes in at 3933 lbs https://www.edmunds.com/chevrolet/camaro/2018/zl1/features-specs/ http://www.uscartoday.com/2019-chevrolet-camaro-zl1-specs-and-price/ So it would seem that if the ZL1 gained weight, so would the others I am thinking as to why they have lost 1MPG.

That is supposed to be the interior for a all new $50,000 fully loaded FX4 Ranger? ? PASS
-
Meh, Who Cares, 1 MPG in real world driving, no one is going to notice except some idiot zealot out there who is only looking for a reason to sue GM.

I have to wonder how much of his Tweeting clashes with the SEC and FTC rules? ? Gotta think that this is part of his attack to hurt Short Sellars. Currently it looks like according to other news stories cost short sellars up to $13 billion dollars. Crazy times we live in.

Thanks for posting, tried it hoping like you it would work and it dumped me into a Fiesta.

Share the link here, I am curious to see if it will pull up for me. Thank you
-
Too bad it is offline now. Wonder how many days till it will be back up?
-
Arghhhhhhh, will have to see who got it. https://jalopnik.com/the-2019-ford-ranger-starts-at-24-000-but-configure-yo-1828164523 Based on the Story, seems to hit $50,000 for a fully loaded FX4 version. WOW ? Found the original source, Off-road.com has plenty of screen grabs. https://www.off-road.com/blog/2018/08/07/2019-ford-ranger-details-on-pricing-options/ Here is just one of the many levels.

Why did you not grab some screen shots Skeeter?

plug-in hybrid model that will use a new three-cylinder Ingenium diesel engine That is their smartest move to date for a plug-in hybrid with generator.

Subaru News: Import Tariffs Will Cause A 'Big Impact' At Subaru
G. David Felt replied to William Maley's topic in Subaru
That makes sense if you sell a ton of specific models, but what if you have a few models that can be profitable but sell in such small numbers that it does not make sense to have an assembly plant in every country. Then you would not want that from a business standpoint and just import them. This is where we see a killing off of a wide diverse options in auto's as it does not make business sense to build every auto in every country. Sometimes importing is the better way to go in regards to giving consumers a wide choice to choose from. -
Having grown up and built race cars, I can respect and understand the sound vibration feel of an ICE auto, yet I also would love the much faster Star Wars sounding 600HP EV Mustang. I would take the EV over the ICE. Way past the maintenance of ICE auto's and ready for the lower maintenance of an EV auto.

It would seem that the Germans especially Daimler is leading the charge in Sales Incentives. One has to wonder what is going on in those companies.
