Actually it has more in common. The presidential limo has a real actual Cadillac emblem on the front. Logano's "Fusion" doesn't even have that.

I get what the end game is, make races more digestible for average viewers, but why you gotta make it so complicated? I don't understand the aversion to shortening races, especially at typically painfully boring tracks like Kansas or Chicago. It worked wonders for Pocono when weather doesn't get involved.

Could just simply be the guy being cautious. It's not like it's going to do any damage.

I wish, but that's not how the internet works.

I do have ADH- oh hey looks butterfly

he's saying he wants a '77

Some dealers tried that with the GT500 and ended up still having them 3+ Model years later

no, that's an upgrade offered by Shelby America, like the Roush Mustangs

Sounds like it could be throttle body. Which engine do you have?

Showing and building pre production units are 2 totally different things. The first vehicles shown at the official unveiling always come from the pilot plant, not the plant they will eventually be built at. The 2018 F-150s and Mustangs they have on the floor in Detroit right now all came from pilot. The pre production builds asked about earlier are the units that KTP will build to make sure the build process on the line there is finalized and that they can build them at speed with no major flaws. It's why we call them trials on the line.

When did you hear that? Union rep told me Tuesday there isn't anything on the schedule until 4 weeks off in July.

no, more of the shape of the roofline. I'm aware they can't do much with it style-wise and still make it function properly, but the proportions look goofy to my eye and it wouldn't bother me to see a tweak.

FWIW, management seems to think that water has found its level with regard to Focus sales. After 2/6 and 2/13, we don't have any down time scheduled until the July shutdown.

I want to see what it looks like with the top up, the current one has a weird look to me and I want to see if they did anything with it.

It's a bit early for pre-production units. Ford typically starts that about 6 months before full production is scheduled to start.

something tells me someone who is a lot smarter than I am will end up figuring that out, if nothing else because why not.

Cost wise I have no clue but I can't imagine it would be that hard of a project since the block (and iirc the engine mounts) are pretty much the same, it might just be a matter of wiring it all up and fitting the additional plumbing for the added injectors. And now that I think of it, even if the engine mounts aren't the same as long as the points all line up I can't imagine it would be that big of a problem for someone who knows what they're doing to fabricate new ones. The mounts on the 2015+ are solid hunks of metal anyway, I just don't know what the alloy is.

Ford is very disciplined on how many mustangs they build per shift. It's the only plant that I know of that builds to a specific number, not how many they can build by the end of shift.

we will hit full production well before the end of the summer of 2019....

Except sport trac wasn't unibody

there's a near mint Mercury Lynx driving around Grosse Pointe, at least there was 5 years ago when I worked out there.

Found it. From a Jalopnik article http://jalopnik.com/general-motors-and-hyundai-kia-both-announce-billions-i-1791283441

That was his ultimate point. I need to find the actual quote rather than my paraphrased version.

Duuuuuuuude How do you f**k up that badly?

Yes. It used to annoy the crap out of me when I was installing doors. Rubs against the leg and there's not much you can do about it.
