F****d
On a
Real
Deal?
I always liked “Found On Road Dead.” :)
Backwards drive return on foot.
Flip Over, Read Directions
This is yet another examples of what happens when you let the bean counters and the social warriors overrule the engineers.
Side story: A was at a Ford dealership about a month ago, looking at their new small truck, the Maverick. I won’t buy any vehicle made in Mexico. The quality just isn’t there. No worries, said the Ford salesman. All of our Mavericks are made in Texas.
I later strolled the lot on my own. Every Maverick there was made in Hermosillo, Mexico.
I know a car salesman wouldn’t lie to me. So I can only conclude that Texas has invaded Hermosillo, Mexico and annexed it.
“Model E”?
That came WAY BEFORE the Model T. So it must be a primitive forerunner.
Found On Road Dead
Found On Road Dead
Flipped Over Rebuilt Dodge
To an old Army LT friend who loved Fords. We always haranged each other over his favorite and mine—Chevys.
Me: “Found on Road Dead”
Him smiling: “First on Race Day!”
Me: “Yea...In the pits!”
He stomped off angry as all getout.
I remember FORD as For Ordinary Repairs Daily.
Well, my 2003 F-150 has been a superb vehicle, and I still have a realistic hope that it will outlive me, with no major repairs, despite my spotty maintenance.
I'd love to know what the thinking was in Ford and other car manufacturer's management decisions in going so heavy into EV's. Was it from government regulations/coercion? Was it pressure from ESG investing? Was it an attempt to gain brand loyalty in younger generations?
Found on Road Discharged. Ford Lightning/E-Mustang (what a piece of junk)
Saw a breakdown of the f150 2.7. V6. That thing isn’t a truck engine, it’s a pathetic joke. It has a BELT DRIVEN OIL PUMP. A crappy weak thin belt tiny belt. Any company that puts that into a truck is stupid .
First On Race Day.
The only American manufacturer to have won the open class at LeMans (3 times at the trot, no less) or to have been an engine supplier to the winner of F1’s World Constructor’s Championship (with the Ford Cosworth DFV V-8) three times and the winner of F1’s World Drivers Championship four times.
First On Race Day.
I love Fords. Never owned
a Chevy. Sprinkle in a few
Jeeps when I was younger.
Always liked the distributor
up front where you could
work on it, instead of
sitting your butt on the
radiator.
“Ford in the nadir of domestic auto manufacturing in the 1970s, when it was said that Ford stood for “Fix Or Repair Daily.”
Lets not forget Chevrolets’
abysmal engine performances
in the 80’s when just about
every V-8 of theirs on the
road ate it’s camshaft
within its’ first 40,000
miles. Or their glued on
doors falling of during
the rigours of washboarded
oilfield roads.
Or the stacks of blown up
Chrysler transmissions hidden
behind your local
transmission repair shops.
(727’s die with extended
periods of idling in park)
Anything mechanical will
eventually die. It mostly
boils down to personal
preference as to what one
feels comfortable driving.
I drive a 2014 Mustang GT.
Still tight w/no rattles.
Tires and battery the only
items replaced.
