Yep. With Edsel now 24 years old, Hendy decided to create a separate company/division with his son, creating the Fordson name.

However, It was only a couple of years later, when Edsel become the President of Ford after conflicts with the Dodge brothers and the like.

That lake still has a ways to go before full.

Yes it does and yes it will. However it was about two hundred feet below where it is now not to long ago. Pretty soon they'll start draining it to allow for the snow melt.

Vent time.
So now the government has to mandate braking technology into cars because we (as a whole not us) can't seem to figure out how to look in front of the car anymore and push on the brake pedal?

I think I am free in May, except for the 1st (Sun), and except Memorial Day weekend.


Mark, is it any wonder these trucks cost $60k? And rising?

How do folks afford them anymore?
The funny thing is I can (unbelievably) partially understand it because as you know, NO one is paying attention anymore out there on the freeways. Everyone is buried in their phone.

I'm buried in May.

Kinda reminds me of:


'My uncle has a country place, that no-one knows about
He says it used to be a farm, before the Motor Law
Sundays I elude the ‘Eyes’, and hop the Turbine Freight
To far outside the Wire, where my white-haired uncle waits'
