A Horse With No Name

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.

Thank you.

Can we edit taglines? I mis spelled a word in the Ford section.

From Bloomberg news, one of the few relatively sane news sources in our country. Interesting take on self driving vehicles being used in farming. Worth a watch IMHO.

See my into the storm 4 wheeling off road video I posted...by a Canadian YouTuber. Canada is gorgeous in the winter. I love this photograph.

Ranger is continuing to exceed expectations, very happy with this purchase.

Think this guitar looks fantastic. Not building many at the present because my shop mate Brian got invovled with building a race car. He got it together and has decided to build something else. But this looks damn good IMHO.

The joys of living in the midwest or east with the inevitable ton of salt on the roads. The MINI and the VW's did not rust much, but the Miata develeoped a case of the Ohio Tin worm, sadly. Ford does seem to ahve good anti corrosion protection, be interesting to see how the Ranger does long term. What model Jeep does your son drive, and how reliable has it been? I have one of my offspring that wants a Jeep, and trying to learn everything I can.

I don't think I posted this, but I really want a damn Jeep. or Bronco. Wonder what a 55 year old Kidney goes for on the black market? She needs a Tesla with ludicrous mode, so I can watch her move away from me. The view from the back/behind has to be spectacular.

....and an advanced 4WD system could help you navagate Michigan's notoriously shitty roads. I always know when I go from Ohio to Michigan, because the pavement looks like something one would find in a bombed out jungle in Laos or a dirt path one would find in Tibet. Apparently Michigan has as much trouble playing football as they do maintaining roads, as Michigan is really having an off year. I say this not to run you or Michigan down, but because I want big ten football to stand up and represent. I normally cheer for any big ten team over any non big ten team, exept for Penn State, because I despise Penn State football. We judge/compete with Penn State in debate, and every time I write a win for a pen state debater, I hAve to remind the students that jsut because they won the round....it doesn't mean I like their football team. Then again an Ox and Cart might be cheaper, and you wouldn't have to put up with the inevitable C and G electric vs. ICE debate. You would have your own alternative fuel powertrain! Hope you had a Great thanksgiving.

I am more of a CN fan tahn a CP fan, although I like them both CN ownes the old SOO Line/Wisconsin central tracks where I grew up in Wisconsin and learned to love trains. Thankfully CN manages their business well and has put a ton of money into upgrades and is running a whole lot of freight over the rails. Would love to cross Canada on Via rail. the Canadian is the alst remaining traditional streamline train in the world. 58 Corvette. I can't get enough of these. Yeah. I don't think that electrics are going away, but I don't think its going to be a smooth seemless transition to 80 percent electrics by 2025 either. The rest of the world, meaning Europe and China, will largely go electric over the nexxt decade and a half. If we want to sell cars there, we need to learn to build electric cars profitably. So far Tesla is only profitable because it sells credits to other carmakers. Although they do sell a ton of Model 3's. Interesting but flawed guys who both made a big impact on the world. Thoughtful perspective.

Rivian is infinitely closer to being in production and 50 grand cheaper.
