Ford F150-I'm Done.

[Sysop]

If this thread isn't evidence of anything else, I think it shows we all agree that none of the automakers make good enough stuff to trust or want to fly around in. I think we can agree with as many folk as have had issues with all brands made, none are up to the task of making flying cars we'd be rushing to buy or take our kids to Walmart in. Give em another 20 years R&D...

Hah good point. At least a truck can coast to a stop when it stops working.

 

[Sysop]

Flying cars can too, but the coasting more closely resembles free-falling and the stop at the end is a little abrupt for anyone sane.

I think we have also seen that, since many have history with General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler products, anything else is disregarded as invisible.

(I do wish that there was a Kioti dealer in our area!)

I am very glad that Japan moved into the U.S. 50 years ago and forced American Manufacturers to rethink their love of failed muscle car quality builds. It is the competition that drove improvement.

I guess the Toyota and Nissan truck guys can just continue to watch, huh? Gas or diesel, gas or diesel, gas or die..........

Seems the years speed up as we age... at least for me.

Wait until you retire. Then you'll have a whole new meaning for "time flies".

We've had flying cars for decades. Where you guys been????

The original was The Absent-Minded Professor with Fred MacMurray, remade in 1997 with Robin Williams and retitled Flubber.
