I bought a new 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse with V6 automatic and sold it after 10 years. It was a great daily driver. I drove it to Washington DC in 2003. It was a very comfortable car. I drove my oldest sister's new 1976 Ford Pinto Stallion some in Has. That was a fun driver with it's 4 cylinder 4 speed manual. But I've never owned a lightweight 2 seater convertible. I think the Mazda MX-5 looks like a fun roadster. What do/have you owned or driven?

Image: I noticed the black body molding differed from the other bullnose fords I've seen with this package. Anyone know anything about this dual stripe molding?

I’ve been curious to hear from other Ranger Raptor owners about their experiences. The Ranger Raptor is an impressive truck, but no vehicle is perfect. Whether it’s performance, suspension, interior comfort, technology, fuel economy, or everyday practicality, there’s always room for improvement. If you could change or upgrade just ONE thing about your Ranger Raptor, what would it be and why? Also, what is one thing Ford absolutely got right with this truck? Interested to hear... Read more

Trucks-wise, I’ve had a Ford Raptor, multiple 5.7 hemi 1500 Rebels, and just came out of a 2024 2500 Rebel Cummins. It was a great truck but I wasn’t towing so it made no sense to have all that extra mass, size, and maintenance. The RHO is very impressive. It pretty much does it all, but mostly, I really love how luxurious and comfortable it is. Self driving with ventilated messaging seats in an off road pickup truck? Totally insane. But when I want to push it to rush somewhere, I can... Read more

After working on the Barracuda for a couple years, I figured out what wheels and tires I wanted. The car has a Hemi Denny K and an RMS Street links with a mosher 9" Ford built to standard A body width. When I began getting quotes I provided wheel manufacturer part numbers and tire brand and model. They all ask what car are tires for and I tell them it's a 67 Barracuda but it doesn't matter because it's all custom. A local told me they don't want to sell because the tires absolutely wont fit...

Wrapping up the EFI install and wanted to weatherproof things a bit more than Ford did it at the factory since I now have lots more electronic and water-prone parts under the hood. I know most of the parts are fairly resistant to the elements but I’ve intentionally put a lot of extra thought and effort in this engine swap/EFI project. Just curious if anyone has put any effort towards the following: 1.) For fiberglass cowl hood- Has anyone come up with a creative solution for the cowl... Read more
