Boxwood is a bit lighter than I'd like but if that's the green the other, now 97, idiots want, I'm in. I'd pay extra for Highland Green or Dark Moss Green though.
Was out doing a brithday drive in my '61 Thunderbird and stopped by the local dealership on the offchance they had something to look at. Tucked at the back of the lot hidden on all sides by bigger trucks I found this pair. I thought I liked the A51 color but seeing it in person actually...
I love the 2-door as it's as close to my old D90 as I could possibly get. I do this the B-pillar looks a bit unfinished with the top off the cargo area. I don't know what could be done but it just looks incomplete.
Also, Crank in Gear is really useful when your clutch decides to fail you 300 miles from home. Been there in my D90. It made it possible to stop for stop lights by stalling the engine, then get going again by cranking her to life.
All these people begging for black tops. Does anyone live somewhere that there's a summer? Black top = HOT af. Gimme a white top or option for a 'Safari Roof' like on older Land Rovers.
I want to replace the stock sliders as soon as I can to something I trust a bit more anyways. The stock ones are body mounted which is just uncool to me. I want something that ties into the frame a lot more. I'll likely have a buddy fab me up some as he did for my D90 and RRC in the past. Beefy...
It's far from original. It's got a 4-inch static drop to make it look low and lean. Also custom paint and interior. A previous owner added the tonneau from a 62/63 to give it the Sports Roadster look. I showed up to one of the local Thunderbird club meetings and decided I'd never return. If it...
A very eclectic mix.
I'll go in order from newest to me to oldest.
'92 Autozam AZ-1 - the current toy in rotation
'14 Suburban LTZ 4x4 - the family car
2013 Golf R - track day and run about
1961 Thunderbird 'vert - the weekend cruiser
The Bronco will replace the Suburban when it...
Had a two-door D90 for years. Was able to pack all the gear needed for 2 adults and two teenagers for extended trips on board with the use of a roof rack and hitch tray. It's very doable if there's just two adults if you ask me.
I loved how my old 90 had a rack that didn't put the weight on the softtop. I'm hoping for something like that.
Note: the above was not mine. I have no pics of mine with the full rack. :(
I was just gonna try to steal the 3.5l Ecoboost out of a friend's Ford GT. I think about 700hp and a 6-speed sequential paddle shift sounds about right.
The Matchbox cars are more 'realistic' in their proportions. Hot Wheels kind of 'improve' on the lines of actual cars. I've got model of an Audi RS6 Avant from each and the differences in style really show. Hot Wheels gets bigger wheels, bigger fenders to hold them, and are just more bigger than...
It's a Then and Now model too. That means there's likely a classic Bronco in that box somewhere too. Then and Nows do a classic version of an iconic car and a modern one. Like this:
I'm in Austin and know my way around offroad vehicles. I've helped train newbies and done many official dealership training workshops for a brand I won't name but you can figure out. I wonder if they need local offroad trainers here in Austin. :)
