I will after reading this thread and creating a ravenous need to stuff myself on boxes of twinkies and hostess devil food cupcakes. could the banana man have been reincarnated as a twinkie ?

hoarder 😂

Confucius say never ride in a vehicle operated by a quad amputee and pro corn hole player . And did anyone see that Claudine Longet recently passed, I remember watching the SNL skit based on her shooting Sypder Savage...

I posted about my son's 2016 tacoma with 113k miles, trade it in on a 2023 tundra hybrid(it's quick) he ended up getting $16.5 in the trade, the paint on roof and part of the hood was big time orange peel, interior with lots of wear and according to an indy garage needed $5k in suspension...

The saabs I owned had an access panel under the rear seat, on the 1986 the oem fuel pump was still good at 250k miles, but on a 9-5 the pump died a bit over 100k. If one had an osco scope you could see the signs of a pump on the way out.

I read somewhere the $$ invested might be as high as $3 billion in the oakville plant, I also recall a brampton ont plant that made jeeps was idle and is slated to build chinese leapmotor EVs as part of the tariff agreement with China. Lots of stuff going on with autos, tariffs and global mfg...

link to some interesting stuff at the Beijing auto show, maybe Farley will show up incognito and drool over stuff like the Fang Cheng Bao Formula X https://www.autoweek.com/news/g71222323/40-wild-chinese-cars-we-will-never-get

Given the current policies in the US that skunkworks plant might just as well be made a museum exhibiting Ford's failed EV plans, charging an admission fee of say $3 might produce more bottom line profits than the EV biz. I occasionally have some degree of sympathy for Ford and GM , the way...

Yeah I was at the Ford/Toyota dealership in Grand Junction CO today for my son to get his iForce Tundra - rows of new Broncos and F-150s , not hugely interested in a Bronco but have to admit the F-150s did catch my eye, the finance mgr tried to temp me with employee pricing and 0% apr...

Hence the so called "K" shaped economy, and it's very true. But for those predicting a possible recession - perhaps but in May we get a new Fed Chairperson, historically lower interest rates have a way of stimulating the economy - albeit with longer term ramifications, but who gives a rat's *ss...

I've seen some wonder why Ford hasn't put a lot of $$ in Ranger advertising - I think it's because Ford gets more ROI advertising stuff like Broncos and F-150. And as someone mentioned some folks need to be seen with the latest and are willing to plunk down extra $$ for that - and for a...

As you may know that blue coating is designed to eliminate any play thereby reducing driveshaft vibration. Too bad you couldn't have chilled the spline part and heated the female part.

Did you smoke a bowl before attempting such a arduous task ?

The used car Toyota salesperson agreed that Tacomas had many flaws, but they love getting them as they remain in high demand. I've visited numerous mountain towns in CO and Tacomas still are widely owned by locals - in particular blue collar everyday Joes, with more affluent residents or...

yeah I drove it and it accelerates briskly, plus the twin turbo V6 makes a nice throaty snarl when you lay into the gas, I asked the salesperson if the sound was artificial and he said no "not like some Fords" :shock: . They also had a used F-150 Raptor , super charged 700+ hp that I could...

not a company I'd be holding any amount of stock , pretty much dead money.

Ok son now has a "better" truck then I - a 2023 Tundra dual turbo v6 hybrid with off road package, top trim level , 36k miles for $42k , most surprisingly though he's getting $17k for his 2016 Taco with 113k miles, dealer says they can make money reselling it.

Could be classic examples of the Pygmalion Effect , and fully expecting the dealer to have screwed something up, isn't that what dealerships do besides pushing fuel system cleanings ?

how bout a dancing banana - for old times sake ?
