A Horse With No Name

I drove the Tacoma and the Ranger....you know the rest of the story....Toyota has cut lots of developmental costs. Look at how advanced the Ram is and how backwards the Tundra is.

Better than tearing them down....one of the oldest Ford dealers here in Columbus was torn down, cool art deco building that was an old Cadillac dealership got torn down. Talked about both before here. Really beleive in preserving the past...

I think that carmakers are more worried about cutting costs than developing things to that level of engeneering.

I have seen some killer restorations of buildings like this. Ate fantastic food in a bar from a converted dealer just like this.

Interesting take on AI being used for testing, never considered that.

Road trip...

The Soul is the most Soulful of their products perhaps, but all of the hyundai and Kia products are less Soulful than most of the Jeep products.

Liberty is a very capable Jeep, buddy had one. Did great in a few bad Ohio snow storms...

Two thoughts....trapped babysitting boilers for Thanksgiving, thanks to everyone for putting up with my post slutting here at C and G. I love all of you like (Dysfunctional) brothers. Second, this is a bucket lsit car for me, amazing. A lot of subtle mods to the car....really nice build. As bonus content...notice the Lincoln at about 3:10.

I like this review.

I would find an Arizona or Texas car that was completely rust free and use this as a parts car to build that if you are really serious. But you are talking about a major project to restore and revitalize even a common car like a Mustang or Camaro. Look at the labor of love Balthy's B-59 has been....are you willing to make a commitment like that to bring this back to life? Methinks youy like travel and other things really well. My advice...buy a diecast of this and put it on a shelf. And then save money and buy a pristine original and baby it. This is a cool wagon!

More worthwhile recovery work...

Interesting....

I think the real question is... Not can we build electric vehicles, but can we build electric vehicles with Soul. My friends wife ahs a Kona Hybrid, they are turning it in off lease and Keeping their Jeep. Not because the Hybrid lacks soul because it is a Hybrid....the gasser Kona lacks a certain amount of Soul also. This is why I am kind of bullish on Rivian. I really like their truck.

Give the tech time to drop in cost. It becomes more viable every year. This is one valuable step on the way. I think they will make sense for commercial fleet vehicles first. Think post office delviery vehicles, Amazon delivery vehicles, UPS vehicles, service vans for electrical contractors, and the like. An electric Ford Transit connect might be perfect for a company that delivers flowers or pharmaceuticals or the like. Hence why electric vehicles will make more sense for light commercial use.

You do have to love what Lincoln is doing with Interiors, though. I really like this, has a bit of 1960's modern design to it....

Cool Bronco pic...

4.3 V6 is a running motor.
