Yeah....really kind of sad. I have kind of taken a mild interest in general aviation and rail fanning. Partly I think because I see so few cars built today to keep my intetest. Agree with trinicria bob that the A380 is an awkward looking bird. Sitting here in my backyard enjoying a bonfire. Beautiful night here in Columbus.

That GTO would be amazing restored. Today saw a 57 I think Rambler driving past as I was eating pizza.

Halifax...plane over ran runway with a strong tail wind...iirc runway was wet. Assuming it is a hull loss as fuselage is broken behind wings.

Ohhh....yeah.

Thought of trinicria Bob the other morning. No 747 passenger flights into Columbus but freighters cone into Richenbacker down where I live all of the time. 747 taking off and heading west low over our neighborhood....6 or 700 feet...morning sun...gorgeous. Was also saddened to find that a 747 had been destroyed in an accident this week. It has been a bad week for aircraft...737 that was nearly new was destroyed with the loss of all hands...that 747...and a 757 just ran off a runway and was destroyed.

Stupidity is seldom a force to slow anyone down on this planet, automotive or otherwise.

It is sexy enough as a coupe. For Friday, i am just going to be happy to be alive and living in a country where I can enjoy cool cars. They have a Trabant on display at the Air Force Museum in Dayton. Now THAT is misery...and a car that doesn't need to exist in sedan form.

I feel a huge difference between say 47 and 53. But i work physically every day...I can't imagine sitting behind a monitor for a living. Twenty four years ago, 29 felt fine!

I would rather loose Ford than Toyota. Turning a profit and have a decent reputation...no reason for them to leave.

I could reallt see them doing this.

Again...I think they need something more uniquely Ford.

I like the looks of the Stinger GT but the rest of the lineup needs serious help in a multitude of ways.

I actually like the ES, but am in a bit of a minority here on that.

My friends Focus has like 60K on it...shifts a bit awkward, but not terrible. He likes the car and drives it everywhere....he had a Saturn before the Focus. If you blame Ford for all of the crappy transmissions they put in Focus and Fiesta, you have to give them credit for the decent transmissions they put in everything else IMHO. And while we are bitching about transmissions, how about many of the older Nissan CVT transmissions? Those made the Ford Focus and Fiesta seem as smooth as 20 year old Scotch by comparison....and yet few people ever pan them.

Been Following Acorn to Arabella on you tube...kind of cool. Building a reproduction of a 1934 Sailing yacht to sail the world....entirely from scratch.

Obviously you are a man who enjoys a walk on the wild side and taking chances... Just kidding. My beef with Ford is not that they build bad transmissions, it is that they need to be building more class leading product.

Awkward back seat layout and ungainly styling from the rear kill the current Focus for me.

The sad thing about Atlanta was that when I lived there ranches like that were being torn down on a seeminly daily basis to build McMansions. People were paying at times a million dollars for a teardown. If you google westport now and teardown you can find ten and fifteen million dollar teardowns.
