    Hopefully it isn't too strange going back to an ex employer.

    Hope you do not scare easily as my wife says I drive way to fast, I tell her I am Aggressive Defensive driver! I support making drivers ed $2500 with racing training. Driving is a privilege you earn and you should enjoy it. Have a lane for bus/carpool and for self driving cars like the POS Prius from Google. All other drivers get to drive in American AutoBohn! Same rules as they have in Germany! I like the way you think....I would agree. In Finland, I think that's pretty much the way that they do it.

    Regarding the 89 Trans Am Pace car with the Turbo V6: The Grand National engine wouldn't fit in the Trans Am's engine bay--it was too wide. To make it work, they had to remove the heads and replace them with those from the transverse version of the engine. These smaller heads had better exhaust flow and a more efficient combustion chamber shape than the GN heads, which required a unique set of pistons to maintain the desired 8.0:1 compression ratio. These heads also helped the Turbo T/A make a little more power than the GN did.

    The 1966 Pontiac Ambulance actually used Corvair tail lights...

    Volkswagen was 99% of the way to releasing the Rallye Golf here in the US as the "GTI Rallye". It was going to be a 1990 model.They had a color list (which was Tornado Red, Black, and a color not offered commercially in Europe, but on models for racing, Alpine White). They also had developed US spec headlights, and regular, untinted US spec tail lights (no GTIs in the US at the time had smoked tails). It used Corrado side markers. THe body shell, being a G60, already had the glued-in windshield and US crash standard frame rails (for strength), so it just needed minor adaptations. The only thing that stopped them...the guy in charge of the project was killed on Pan Am flight 103... http://www.a2resource.com/brochures/...gtirallye.html

    According to Wkiipedia... Ford currently imports all of its Transit Connect models as passenger vehicles by including specific items, e.g., rear windows, rear seats and rear seatbelts. The vehicles are exported from Turkey on cargo ships owned by Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics (WWL), arrive in Baltimore, and are converted back into light trucks at WWL's Vehicle Services Americas Inc. facility by replacing rear windows with metal panels and removing the rear seats and seatbelts. The removed parts are not shipped back to Turkey for reuse, but shredded and recycled in Ohio. The process exploits the loophole in the customs definition of a light truck: as cargo does not need seats with seat belts or rear windows, presence of those items automatically qualifies the vehicle as a passenger vehicle and exempts the vehicle from light truck status. The process costs Ford hundreds of dollars per van, but saves thousands in taxes Now, if we could just put all of that effort into actually putting people to work, we'd be set....
