My wife started saying escape goat. But it was to piss off a particular prick boss that got visibly agitated by it but refused to correct her lol. Now we say it out of "fond" memories :) But not in a serious manner of course.

I think Ford tried very hard to sweep it under the rug as it was the last hand built unit and didn't fit with Ford's plan to turn AM and Jaguar into "even better Lincoln". There were some really wild Euro cars in the 90's. TVR Cerbera(look up the speed 12 version they wanted to try to get into...

I do like Aston martin. My favorite: The Aston Martin V8 Vantage from the early 1990's. Twin Supercharged V8, heavy land yacht for the era/class of car, 180mph+ and 0-60 under 5 seconds. Real driving tests had it comparing to Porsche and Lambo of the era as far as performance, including...

The Explorer is a lot more rare then the Mustang is, but not as all around performance oriented. Fast though. The S351R could do over 180MPH, it kept up with things like Ligenfelter Corvettes from the era. Saleen put his own design for suspension on it, but the rest Ford could have done out of...

1974 Olds W30 Suburban 2500. Well, THIS one because it is the type of thing I would build if i had more money- Saleen S351(R) from the 90's, Ford COULD HAVE made this themselves but opted not to: 1969 Mercury Marauder X100

I got a chuckle out of this, one of those "it's funny because it is true" things.

Well I guess my 2013 Charger counts as modern, it certainly has computers. Next down the list is a 2002 8.1 Chevy, deffinately not computers, but still an ECM, and it still has strong nanny tendencies. I don't think i will ever buy a newer vehicle. They have gotten absurd, I am sick of LED/LCD...

Blue light destroys cells. That thing is pure UV light. Might want to consider some UV blocking glasses lol.

Yeah if you are in a burnout contest or something sure, not going to take that trophy. Otherwise, righteous burnouts are always accepted, by virtue of their very existence. I grew up in the 1980's. Burnouts were not common, but were always righteous. The advent of front wheel drive cars with...

I don't care to much about the social distancing thing. But there is something to be said about personal space. There is a certain distance where you have to wonder if it is intentional or they are just drunk or otherwise mentally slow. I was in a store recently at the checkout, and the wife...

Yeah when I was a young man people were snagging 305's out of the Camaro on the cheap and putting those in there. Nowdays they go for the supercharged 6, less overheating problems. In the 80's though, only chicks bought them. "look at me!!!" As they put along with the iron duke laboring to...

He bought a Fiero. Only chicks bought Fieros. That is to say, back then. Nowdays people swap 240HP supercharged 3.8 V6's from Buick Rivieras into them. Chicks don't do that, they were happy with the iron duke. But yeah in the 80's? Yeah that guy messed up.

I know this is a mopar board but I am a gearhead and worked with Fords in my youth more, so i will regurgitate some info on this.... 352, 427, and 428 were based on early 60's FE series. Before these were the short lived Y block engines, and before that flat heads. Ford was not alone in making...

Yeah turns out all they had to do was stop offering big 4 door cars and crank the price of the big SUV's into the stratosphere to get people to look at 4 door trucks :)

That'll buff out.

Evian water. Naive spelled backwards. Costs more per gallon than gasoline, upwards of $11/gallon

100% fatality rate.

I live in WI. Salt will return any daily to the earth well before any car wash can harm the vehicle. Auto wash for things I don't care about surviving. Hand wash stuff that gets put away in winter. Note: my 2013 AWD Charger gets the auto wash. I have no intention of dealing with the rolling...

How are you? This is a simple, formal greeting among men. It is used because the answer does not obligate the responder to commit to actually commenting on how they are, what they did that day, or whatever else. It leaves the answer up to the responder to be as detailed or not as they wish. In...
