Thanks for the post.

Looks like no individual in the cabin is in control.

Who knew there were autonomous vehicles before 1920?

Of course they could have all been just sitting in there enjoying the A/C...

“Model T?”

The Model T apparently had no shortage of chassis and bodies available [including no shortage of aftermarket versions]

Kind of like the F-Series.

“I haven’t gotten tired of seeing “Miles to empty: 786””

I like to watch my “Miles to empty” increasing as I change direction and pick up a big tailwind or start to adaptively cruse behind a tractor trailer truck on flat land.

Works best after just filling the tank....

As always, YMMV. ;-)

So does it make sense to introduce even more electric cars?

Ford must believe that EUROPEANS will fall for their BULL$HIT and buy into the EV LIE!

Except it doesn’t look like one and has 4 doors.

“No, it’s not the PINTO”

It ought to be... It’s just as ugly, and prone to blowing up.

Ford is joining the other auto manufacturers in building bombs?

1776 + 200 years.....

Back when 99.+% of peeps living in the USA would celebrate the American flag and the Republic for which it stood.

As a Country we are falling....

Maybe in South Africa, where the “Perana” variant came with a Boss 302 small-block V8.

That would be a much more humorous pic if she were turned around and stood a bit farther from the Pinto to be better able to assess the similarities/differences.....

“What car can you buy for $15k?”

Nothing new for that price the days of sub $20,000 cars in the USA are over and will never return. You might get a used KIA or Hyundia for 15K Toyota’s used start in the 20s. I was in the used market just recently ended up leasing a Tesla instead for the FSD tech and to use my solar panels to charge it for free.
