  1. 10-4 on your truck series comment.....same with Arca right? Also seems to me if its a Mustang doing the pace car duties its a "pace car" If its a Camry, it's ..."the Camry Pace car". Its always the "Tundra track dryers" too. To bad when the Stepps Wreckers come out, its never the "Ford Super Duties". Maybe broadcasters get a bonus for every "yota" mention???
  2. Ah Fuzzy, you just don't get it..the packed house you see at Pocono today will be buying Ferrari's in two years once Ford's investment in F-1 bears fruit😎
  3. According to an article in yesterday's WSJ, the federal watchdog appointed to monitor UAW activities is probing a situation in which Fain made some attempts to take action that would have benefited his girlfriend an her sister. One of the specifics is that Fain sacked a VP for failing to follow his direction to take actions that would have benefited the ladies in question. Of course, innocent until proven guilty. Can't imagine with a fed agent imbedded in the organization he would have the balls to do that but I guess he thinks he is bullet proof. Or the fed is clueless?
  4. Just the opposite here..central Mass..but again GM and Ford will have an uphill battle against "yota". In particular the reliability crown-real or imagined.
  5. Could it be the GM's have a "wow" factor and the Ranger IMO looks dated right out of the box? As for Taco, how many young drivers grew up in a household where the family vehicle was a Toyota? This old guy grew up in a family where the cars, trucks, tractors all had Blue Ovals or Ford in Script on them...and I passed that down to my sons
  6. AK and HR Agree 100% I'm recovering from reverse shoulder surgery so I'm "sleeping" on a recliner-had race on and off all night trying to get a glimpse or mention of a blue oval...never happened. At least they made some nice comments when the team got on the podium this morning..in particular noting Bill Fords presence and the history
  7. PS.. Love my MKZ 3.0. A "best kept secret" that Ford refused to market. I was looking to replace my SHO that hit 100,000 trouble free miles with a CPO SHO with little luck-unless I wanted to go to Michigan, when I believe somone here (TT?) suggested I look for a Fusion Sport or a 3.0 MKZ. I started searching You Tube and found all sorts of glowing endorsements for the 3.0 MKZ. Another example of Ford spending money and not capitalizing on what they created IMO
  8. hmnn..are we horse back or afoot? Did I just not read that Farley was talking about the possibility of a sedan? I guess it is a good thing that he is keeping his eye on changing trends. I drive through a parking lot and what do I see..new Accords, Camrys, Corollas, etc. Again, Honda and Toyota must have the worst product planners
  9. Sounds like Fain may have some "issues" within his organization, and aside from any of those, it seems to me this guy has intentions that go beyond the specifics of a good contract for the UAW members. His recent comments about calling for a "national strike" when the current contract expires, smacks to me of the rhetoric used by labor "leaders" in much of the EU over the years. The danger I see in that, is suddenly, labor issues get blurred with social issues. And when that happens, it is very easy for the competitive issues faced by the domestic auto industry with its huge investment costs, get blurred with industry and businesses that have no such costs that bind the employer to keeping his workforce here. It is bad enough -my observation, right or wrong-that some very basic auto industry positions with minimal skill/effort requirements earn the same as those performing tasks that require greater skills and or physical requirements. But Fain's desire to put all labor in the same pool would only lead to a diminished competitive position for American industry in general.
  10. What is your rear axle ratio? It is?? Also is the problem related to your right foot?😎
  11. Well a good source told me they lost 50% of their Power Stroke allocation to Super Duty..(250-450?) But 7.3 orders were doing well..I guess if you want a 650/750 in less than a year that is your only option? I posed the question, so if 7,3 is to pick up slack will they finally offer air brakes??? No answer🤔
  12. What did Neville Chamberlin say in '38 upon his return to England after meeting with Hitler?.."I have secured peace for our time". This guy must have said the same thing to Bill Ford when he got the job😎
  13. I can't believe that those taillights are the final design. Everyone seems to make a "statement" with taillight design. If those are final, I guess the good news is they are "legal"🙄 I have to say my 23 STX has nice tailights..when they are off! Not like the "bulb package" on the XLT. Or the full width lights on my MKZ. By the way, biggest reason I bought an STX? Love that front grill treatment...gone for 24🤔
  14. Agree..unlike the GM's that I think are much better looking- and not as attractive as the Explorer.
  15. How about a guy that went by"Old999" or something similar-I do believe he was an employee or an annuitant.. I checked my start date and it was 10/1999. Then there was a system problem of some sort and the post count was lost. Anyone have any recollection on both counts?
  16. Also on an interior shot-I think the 22, on the roll bar was a "Ford Performance" decal in block letters, next to a Ford script decal.
  17. Saturday was the 10th annual Bronco Owners Northeast States meet ("BONES")which benefits the Travis Mills Foundation. S/Sgt.Travis Mills is a quadruple amputee who was wounded in an explosion while serving in Afghanistan in2012. The Foundation has established a facility in Maine that provides vacation opportunities for veterans who sustained severe injuries during their service. We had close to 100 Broncos of all generations. Attached is one overall view of the grounds plus a drive through "photo op" that my son who is employed by a commercial printer designed and constructed.
  18. D-Stang. Like what? Did someone at Ford suddenly wake up to what the "commercial market" is???😎
  19. My reaction was same as A-Cat. However yesterday's WSJ had an article on this appointment. Key quote.."At Lucid, House kept a low profile but left the company's balance sheet in good financial condition..." Also went on to note in March Lucid secured a one billion dollar investment from a Saudi investment fund, as well as noting her biggest challenge will be joining the company as an "outsider".
  20. AK..must be the camera- Mass DMV calls it "gray", I call it "dirty snow". But one thing for sure... it does NOT show dirt.😎
  21. H, Yes, its the rear bumper that I noticed the minute the season started. Versus record so far 🤔, a minor detail, but seemed like a dumb move. Would GM get rid of the bow tie?
