Damn, I have a shit ton of character then. 

Good eye. As someone who really appreciates good line flow in a design, I agree about the hood like not lining up with the window line being poorly done. I guess the height of it likes up with the decklid at it's highest point, so at least that's something. It's also possible having a higher beltline to line up with the hood line would have looked a little too chunky. 

Sounds like a pretty productive few days. Out of curiosity, where did you hear about your first point? I haven't seen said product mentioned on this site thus far. Is it possible a smaller truck with a BS front end could be the affordable bronco truck Borg talked about?

Confirmed. Aussies and Yanks are cut from the same cloth.

Yes, happened the moment America and Israel began this campaign, including all the canned soup/food ect, all due  to people doing a couple of weeks shop in advance…. Just in case things are not available later.

Did you Aussies hoard toilet paper like we Yanks did during covid?

he was down here to 1. sign off on a pickup project (vehicle with Bronco Sport front seen at Lara test area) 2. Warn Aussie government that its New Vehicle Efficiency Standard is putting T6 Engineering at risk 3. drive Ranger Super Duty and the vehicles it competes with like Landcruiser 70 series. 4. catch up with Ford’s V8 Supercars teams 4. attend the Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix race

Make it a flat rate with an exception for vehicles driven less than 5000 miles per year as verified at registration time.  

The price is not really the issue for us, the real problem is that Australia only has about 25 days of fuel reserves. Our government let oil companies close down so called uneconomical refineries and just import 80% of our fuel.. All there has to be is a thought that gas stations can run out without warning and you watch panic take over, people starting to empty grocery shelves like back in Covid. Crazy how people get their advice/news on X and YouTube…
