My son got a new Ford Lightning.

His boss might not go for that.

I worked for a company 7 months a while back - my van was a Japanese imported tiny sh*tbox with only an FM radio with the Japanese band available. The only station I could pick up was 24hr Talkback. I went to the boss one day and said I was feeling suicidal without having some decent tunes......still couldn't let me change the radio even if I paid for it. Payback came when he virtually begged me to stay after handing in my notice.

Uh, boom box?
That's what i use since the CD player took a ship, for my az to ca trips, both ways.

A $60,000 truck with a 100 mi range, or....
A $10,000 truck with a 600 mi range.
Wait, let me think......

 

[not so famous bob]

98% of Fords built since 2000 are still on the road... the other 2% actually made it home.

LOL literally !!

It's never easy when your son comes out.....as a greenie!

Nope, he's ICE all the way. It's a state vehicle. Colorado is left of left. He's an engineer for the state. It gets parked in the state's yard where it gets charged then he picks it up each day.

I think his vehicles are:
Ford Expedtion
Acura SUV
Older Jeep he takes to 4WD trails
Pontiac Vibe for good MPG
He keeps the '71 Challenger in his garage.
Ram 2500 Diesel 4WD

His dirt bike is some hot rod Yamaha. I think he sold his street bike.
Just like we talked about last week, my daughter and son are both muscle car fanatics.

That reminded me, when he was getting his engineering degree he parked in a lot quite a ways from the main campus. He built a Doodle Bug mini bike with a high hp Harbor Freight engine tossed it out of his truck and rode to campus.

Who would be seen in a 71 Challenger?

 

[SteveSS]

Me, Me, Me! Challengers got me into Mopars. The second half of Death Proof is Challenger vs, Charger. I already had mine by this point, but if not, I would have wanted them.

 

[chargervert]

My parents had a 70 Charger R/T SE and my brother in law had a 440 Sixpack Challenger R/T! I grew up riding around in 440 Mopars!

The actress that plays a stuntwoman in Death Proof is a real-life stuntwoman.
