Knew he wouldn't stay still for long. Seems a good fit for him given Google's recently announced goals.

It's the same story here in Maryland. They fooled the stupid voter base into approving casinos since all of the proceeds were legally tied to going to the education fund. All it ended up doing is taking education money that was originally coming from the general fund and replacing it with casino taxes. Then they just funded new programs with the "freed up" general fund money and all the sudden we need more taxes because they schools still aren't getting enough.

I loved the sounds all around! Don't know what the complaining is about.

Really, they should just simplify it to a "range" number and then just use a separate unpublished number for CAFE. The "combined" number they started using is at least a step in the right direction. No one will ever be entirely happy with it though, as outliers to data sets will always exist.

Will also note again: those front brakes are HUGE!!!

Pretty aggressive front end sculpting. Not sure it really matches the more subtle aesthetic of the rest of the body. But hey, function over form in this case I suppose.

Mustang.

Working right next to a major airport, I'm sure I'll see the passenger vans as soon as they start becoming available.

Multimatic has been very successful with Mustangs recently with the Boss 302R's in the Continental Tire Sports Car Series, so it's certainly not a new relationship with Ford Racing. Seems to be a very capable company if they should decide to expand that cooperation.

Won't hold my breath, but it really wouldn't take much to get there from where they are. Given the weight advantage though, would it really need it?

GM is limited with what they can do with the Escalade if they are going to continue to pin it to the rest of GM's fullsize SUVs, similar to Lincoln with the Navigator. I think a split in architectures would be required to really take either vehicle to a Range Rover-type level.

Well, there's nobody saying the GT500 won't return still.

Oh, it still is, and I still have my fingers crossed they change it.

Fair enough. Things have certainly changed a lot in the past 10-15 years for sure.

Interesting. As integrated as the battery and electric motor packs are in Tesla's designs, I think powertrain replacements could affect a lot more of the rest of the vehicle than replacing a traditional engine/transmission which is relatively isolated from the rest of the vehicle by comparison.

My girlfriend will be thrilled to hear this news.

In a vehicle as profitable as the Ram surely is, if capacity for an engine option was an issue, you'd think they'd find a way to supply more of them.

Welcome aboard! Sounds like you've been in the Ford family for quite some time. Hope you enjoy the 2015 F-150 once you get it.

I'd assume the Q70 is the new large sedan. But yeesh, talk about solving a problem that didn't exist. Not to mention really pissing off all the members of the National G Club.

In the past year, ALL of their models have been renamed Q-something: Q50, Q60, Q70, QX50, QX60, QX70, QX80. Don't ask me to tell you which is which, cuz I have no idea.

Who the heck trailers an 11-second car to the track? Several Shelbys in our Cobra Club running 9's and 10's that are very streetable.

Don't you mean Fusion? (and Fiesta)

I always get a chuckle when people refer to the "Military Industrial Complex". Companies you would consider being part of that are all making plenty of money whether we are at war or not...and they gainfully employ hundreds of thousands of Americans. And then they act like they are all in cahoots to start wars just so they can sell more F-35s or Predators. It just doesn't work that way. They are businesses like any other business. How on earth did any of them stay in business during the mid-90's? :club: Is Coca-Cola causing global warming so more people get thirsty too?

That's like saying BMW's are retro because they still have kidney grilles.

Should still be covered under bumper-to-bumper, no? Let the dealership take care of it.
