Word has it that ford was planning on making NEW model A's... They are going to use the original blue prints for it. With all new technology. It will have the 4.6 in it. with power windows, steering, brakes, ect. This is all being figured out by the pros over at SHELBY...
Your killing me Scott. I am sitting here reading this eating a frozen microwave dinner.
Maybe you should try putting it in the microwave for a few minutes. It might taste better.

I'd love to see a 7.3 done in that bright bronze color. Another color I'd like to see is the pearl white..It'd be a chick truck for sure but it sure would be purdy.

1. Turn signals will give away your next move. A confident Quebec driver
avoids using them.
2. Under no circumstance should you maintain a safe distance between you
and the car in front of you, because the space will be filled in by somebody
else, putting you in an even more dangerous situation.
3. The faster you drive through a red light, the less of a chance you have
of getting hit.
4. Warning! Never come to a effin stop at a stop sign. No one expects it
and it will result in your being rear-ended.
5. Never get in the way of an older car that needs extensive bodywork,
especially with NB or Ontario plates. With no insurance, the other operator
has nothing to lose.
6. Braking is to be done as hard and late as possible to ensure that your
ABS kicks in, giving a vigorous, foot massage as the brake pedal violently
pulsates. For those of you without ABS , it's a chance to strengthen your
leg muscles.
7. Never pass on the left when you can pass on the right. It's a good way
to pepare other drivers entering the highway.
8. Speed limits are arbitrary figures; given only as a suggestion and are
not enforceable in Quebec during rush hour, especially in Montreal.
9. Just because you're in the left lane and have no room to speed up or
move over doesn't mean that a Quebec driver flashing his high beams behind you
doesn't think he can go faster in your spot.
10. Always brake and rubberneck when you see an accident or even someone
changing a tire. This is seen as a sign of respect for the victim.
11. Learn to swerve abruptly without signaling. Quebec is the home of
high-speed slalom-driving; thanks to the department of Public Works, which
puts pot-holes in key locations to test drivers' reflexes and keep them
alert.
12. It is tradition in Quebec to honk your horn at cars in front of you
that do not move three milliseconds after the light turns green.
13. To avoid injury in the event of a collision or roll-over, it is
important to exit your vehicle thru the windshield right away. Wearing your
seat belt will only impede your hi-velocity escape from danger.
14. Remember that the goal of every Quebec driver is to get ahead of the
pack by whatever means necessary.
15. In Quebec, 'flipping the bird' is considered a polite salute. This
gesture should always be returned.

Ford was one of the few manufacturers that completely missed the green train in Chicago. The company puts its new F-150 trucks into the spotlight instead. With the exception of some tanks shown by the U.S. Army, this Alton MFG "XUV" is based on the Ford F-650 chassis, runs on a 7.2-liter, turbocharged 6-cylinder Caterpillar C7 diesel engine with 370 hp (and a fuel consumption rating of 20.5 gallons per hour) sucking gas out of a 45 gallon tank. It can be yours if you purchase the F-650 base for about $67,000 and the customized body for about $122,000.
I'd love to see a 7.3 done in that bright bronze color. Another color I'd like to see is the pearl white..It'd be a chick truck for sure but it sure would be purdy.
so in other words a pearl white shelby cobra with a tuned twin turbo 7.3 and stacks is your dream car????
She turned 6 in June. I just rescued her in April. Remember my "what kind of dog should I adopt" thread?
She's potty trained, but extremely stubborn, and she knows potty inside drives me crazy, so she does it as payback.
I'm trying to show her that such things can have negative consequences for her as well.
Yeah, now that you mention it, I do remember.
Don't forget to give her 10x the positive vs the negative.

All that power is useless unless you can get it to the ground.
I would much prefer the lighter weight of a small block in a car that size.
Those big blocks are fun for a few minutes, then they become boat anchors.
Except for a 7.3 of course.

Anyone play Duke Nukem 3D?
They just released it for Xbox. And you can play Dukematch online with it.
I don't own an Xbox but this just may push me to buy one.
This election is too important to just blow off. I will stay away from blowing any candidates horn. But please at least vote. Above all think about what you're doing before you pull that lever. Our very lives may be at stake here.
