Your Ford Thread

Just got back from delivering keys to Princess who locked herself out of her car.

;) ;)

Before I left, they were showing off the new Ford police car touting how big it was...

That's no way to treat a dog! I need my legs room!

Its new Fusion-based Police Responder delivers an estimated 38 mpg combined, making it more than twice as efficient as its Taurus-based Interceptor Sedan and Explorer-based Interceptor SUV.

According to Ford, each one of the midsize sedans would save $3,877 annually on fuel at $2.50 per gallon, and much more if gas prices go up.

Primarily aimed at urban departments, where patrol cars are driven at low speeds and spend a lot of time idling, the Police Responder is also the first pursuit-rated hybrid cop car ever offered.

With only about 188 hp, it won’t be the fastest, but after five seconds of hard driving it shifts into pursuit mode to ratchet up its responsiveness and can jump 8-inch curbs and railroad crossings, wade through an SUV-like 18 inches of water and handle Hollywood-style J-turns without falling apart. Besides, the bad guys' car will most likely run out of fuel before it does.

It's not creepy when somebody mentions their daughter daily on a porn board in a thread full of nude women. Nah, life as usual on the rez.
 
Ford has certainly sought new nadirs in ugly-as-fuck "sedans".


I remember when I first saw a new Taurus and was nearly compelled to pull to the road shoulder and projectile barf my previous meal.


The Chargers look just like . . . Chargers, and they seem to fly based on what I've read.


And one day, they'll slip this engine system into one:

The Demon makes the Hellcat look like a church mouse.

The wide-body Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is a barely street-legal drag racer with a V8 that can produce up to 840 HP and 770 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful American car ever. It’s also the quickest car in the world, with an NHRA-certified 0-60 mph time of 2.3 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 9.65 seconds at 140 mph. That's so quick and fast that you can't even enter it in an NHRA-sanctioned event without installing a roll cage.

Dodge didn’t just turn up the boost on the Challenger SRT Hellcat’s 707 hp 6.2-liter supercharged engine to unleash its inner beast, it updated more than half of its parts and added a laundry list of production-first and high tech features to the Demon.

And yet, Junior's old 6.1 SRT was quite the animal and was normally aspirated.


I love the feeling of being mashed back in the seat as the sumbitch just fucking takes off.


House cat, Hell kitten, jungle cat . . .


who doesn't believe in evolution???
 
I don't...

:cool:


The world is exactly 5,778 years old come this Passover (Monday)...


I was created and put on this earth to confound people, and damnit! I'm good at it!
 
My daily driver is a little Ford Focus hatchback. It's been a good little car and gets great gas mileage. I think we've put new headlights, grille, starter, and some wires into since we bought it 40,000 miles ago.
 
I drove my '94 S10 until it was approaching 300K in miles...


;) ;)

Now I have an F150 with under 40K on it.
