  1. The Promaster City is indeed a reboot of the former P-City; 1.6l inline 4, 166hp, front wheel drive, 2,000lb towing. https://www.automotive-fleet.com/videos/first-look-at-the-returning-2027-ram-promaster-city
  2. I'd guess Internationals are probably the most popular class 6-7s in the TwinCities metro by a slim margin, lots of Freightliners. Muni's seem to go for Internationals with a few Fords. Seeing more Paccar class 7 day cab fleets, too.
  3. Maybe "Ruidoso?" As in Ruidoso Downs in New Mexico. Nah. Can't have a horse-oriented name for a Mustang.
  4. Prescott, WI Filled up the motorcycle after lunch and went for a ride: Came home 3 hours later, and...
  5. Prescott, Wi: We shot up 30-54¢ per gallon for 87E10 in one swoop yesterday. 😳 Marathon hasn't raised theirs yet as of this morning,
  6. Well 6,000 followers might only be the number of people who are interested in this car. That smartphone thing in the console is hardly, "technology seamlessly integrated into an entirely new Jaguar experience."
  7. While Ford does well in its home market, Kia's focus is oriented to the ROW markets: 2.28 million units for the Kia brand versus Ford 1.33 million units (all nameplates) outside of the US.
  8. I am not a fan of any 4-section, "square" wheels. 2, 3, 5, 20, ∞ spokes or sections, but not 4. Also the D-pillar area is pretty busy. Clean interior with cute pedals.
  9. Reminiscent of Dark Taupe from 1986-87. I couldn't find a Lincoln from that era online, but it was available. The generic term was "purple-brown."
  10. I completely agree. I provided more detail in response to @Sherminator98.
  11. It was in a piece talking about Malaise Motors, a Facebook group. I agree that by the mid 80's, the inventory was getting better. Thunderbird Turbo Coupe and Taurus SHO replaced velour and opera windows. From the Hemming's article: "On the internet, there’s are groups that enjoy this epoch of the automotive world for what it is and what it can be. Some love the formal, luxurious feelings that cars like 1970s Cadillacs, Lincolns and Imperials provided. Others can see the performance potential that manufacturers left on the table with the muscle car nameplates that managed to live past 1974. Many just love these cars since they aren’t priced out of the market compared to modern machines and the muscle-era offerings. One of these groups is Malaise Motors, a Facebook-based group that focuses on vehicles from 1972-1995. Created by Bryan Raab Davis as what originally was supposed to be an outlet for his personal tastes, Malaise Motors is just one of quite a few pages that are dedicated to Malaise-era machines."
  12. Hemmings Motor News called the period 1972-1995, "The Malaise Era." They've also said that the 6th generation (1972-76) Thunderbirds are showing more interest among collectors. 😳 This is a 1973 'Bird with the optional 460 cu in V8 tuned to a neck-snapping 219 hp:
  13. Those were legendary, right down to the pony hood ornament.
  14. I got a email inviting me to reserve one, uh no. Fathom is a ridiculous name. It is an antiquated nautical term equivalent to six feet. Even Skunk Truck would’ve been better, or “F’o’c’sle”. While Ford was busy laying off people, they could have broomed the naming convention folks; Mach-e and now Fathom. Horatio Hornblower would be proud, though. ⛴️
