I am looking for a clutch master cylinder for an 87 turbo coupe 5 speed. Can't find any on the internet.  Does anyone have any ideas?

Jeff Bezos' Ford Ranger EV Rival Spotted For First Time     As Ford Authority reported yesterday, an upstart company called Slate Auto has been quietly developing a two-seat EV pickup since 2022, one that’s expected to debut with a $25,000 price tag and enter production next year. This particular project isn’t just another fly-by-night company that seems likely to fizzle out in a few years, either – rather, Slate Auto has the backing of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and several other wealthy folks, along with hundreds of employees that came from other automakers – including Ford. Now, this future Ford Ranger EV rival has been spotted for the very first time.

Ford builds stock orders at first because they hold them until the factory goes 5 straight days without an error.  Then they start building and shipping retail orders.   It could be waiting on parts.

It could be a chassis development mule tweaked to look like a 2 door pickup truck, I would not put a lot of stock into this becoming a reality.

The cyber truck also had a suggested range of 500 miles (IIRC) when it debuted. That peaked a lot of interest. In the end it’s ~300 just like the Lightning and any other EV these days.    I put a deposit down for the range promise. It didn’t materialize, so no more desire to have one.    I still think they could adapt the Y bones into a smaller truck (Maverick sized) and it would be pretty successful. 

It’s a very effective strategy 🤦‍♂️

My order for a 2025 Expedition Platinum Max has been confirmed October 29th, 2024, (make the order in Canada.) Lately I’ve been checking inventory and noticed that quite a few 2025 models ordered after mine have already been shipped. I’m wondering—are there others here who ordered around the same or similar time with me but are still stuck in “In Production” status? Also, aside from the official Ford order tracker, is there any other way to get more detailed updates on the order status? Any tips or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!      Some Update： I just contacted sales , he said vehicle has been built（FORD CHAT said still IN Production different with sales）, he also provided a screenshot showing "NON SHIPPABLE." What exactly is the current status? So confusing.

I paid $2.75/gal for E10/87 earlier this evening in Tulsa. 

Some countries restrict US imports and/or make it difficult to do business there in addition to tariffs, while they freely export to the U.S.  That’s the unbalance.   Yes, making more stuff in the U.S. may raise prices but some of the cost savings from cheap foreign production just goes to extra profits not increased prices.  But yes there is some trade off with higher prices for some things but the up side is more jobs and more products to export.  Once one company outsources cheap labor then they all have to do it to stay competitive and stay profitable.   Perhaps more importantly it makes us more self sufficient.  Being too dependent on foreign products is a huge problem as we saw during Covid.  Nobody including the imports have a problem building cars here and selling them profitably.

So without reciprocal tariffs what leverage do we have to get other countries to give us a more fair trade agreement?  Without leverage there is no negotiating.  And tariffs hit them in their pocketbooks which is most effective.   The other countries won’t let it go that far.  They’ve already asked to negotiate and promised concessions.  The only one that is in any danger of a prolonged battle is China and that’s a completely separate and far more complicated issue.
