    Ford Ranger Debut

    About 2yrs ago I pulled the Australian rear seat specs it was slightly roomier than the Canyon. I’m guessing Ford isn’t going to loose that little bonus in the American version. Today I’m not pro GM or Ford both build good machines. But the ford sync in my wife’s 16 is complete ****e!!!!! GM...

    Is Diesel Being Villainized In AUS and NZ Like In The Rest Of The World?

    If Ohio was the number 1 auto market in the US it would be Ohio pushing for better cleaner tech. CA just happens to be the Number 1 auto market. Im sure people complained about price increases for cars when CA asked auto makers to put safer glass in their windshields in the 60’s.

    Excursion vs. (???) for family expeditions?

    Or just keep it simple get a stock Suburban. My neighbor has the sought after 7.3 Excursion. It had lots of work done to keep it going. Its loud as hell and big. The Suburban would be a nice compromise. Very smooth ride, no diesel drama or cold temps gelling worries. 2500 would tow the Trailer...

    Adventure Airplane w/ Motorcycle

    Goal #1 was light, fast and simple. No starter batt and starter added about 130lbs. Getting off the ground with a high pitch fixed prop spun by an ancient Lycoming running standard 91 octane auto gas ment every pound translated to more runway needed. That little rocket didnt fly till it was...

    Ford Ranger Debut

    The 3.5 and 2.7 seem to be pretty solid engines so far. But the smaller eco boosts are showing problems. The RS Focus has had a rash of big Head gasket failures at really low mileage. The direction of the tuner talk after several have pulled the head is suspicion that the cylinder to block...

    Ford Ranger Debut

    The developing black eye is that Ford has had major Head Gasket failures in the RS Focus lots of them. The details surfacing is its looking like the supporting structure between the cylinders and block wall are not robust enough to prevent flex and movement in the cylinder wall thus allowing...

    Adventure Airplane w/ Motorcycle

    Just depends everyone is different. Some like to drive prius to work others like to drive 911’s to work. I built a Rutan Veri eze back in the mid 80’s with my grandfather who flew in WWII. The Veri EZE was the first plane to grab his interest since gettin out in 1946. In our case it was about...

    Polaris is about to screw the good folks at 4WD hardware

    Shure its that $11,000 fancy golf kart bought by people who typically dont have the bones to start with. So again the question why? Who does financing for the rzr sales? Probably wise to make sure you dont own any stock in that bank. Especially when the market slows up after the freebies...

    On the history of automotive-safety, and inside-the-cab modifications

    The answer is yes. Im pretty amazed at the crap I see people sticking to their windshield in most cases illegally given it also blocks their field of vision out the window. Dash mounted nothing like an explosive charge lodging a tablet bracket in your face I suppose. Hell one of the most common...
