  1. Actually it (F 150 or the later F-150 1993) was Trademarked Feb, 14th 1995. First used according to the registration 6/30/1992 F150 is not trademarked interestingly enough
  2. Massa put the F150 at the top of the time sheet at Jerez today.
  3. +1 Also a 150 owner. This is what I would guess is the problem. The needle is not seated all the way when the trigger is on the stop.
  4. Well it didn't say American Muscle Car... I don't know either, I just had some people make a huge freaking deal about the difference between a Muscle Car and a Pony Car before.
  5. Again, Novas and Mustangs were not technically considered muscle cars but they are Pony Cars.
  6. Novas Mustangs and Darts are considered not muscle cars but pony cars. Otherwise I would say it's a toss up for me between the Mustang and Nova.
  7. Update on Robert Kubica. He is alert and been talking when he hasn't been sedated. They are planning a surgery on his broken shoulder, and then 3 4 days later another surgery on his elbow, then later another surgery on his right foot.
  8. With the turbos coming back to F1 Porsche has been bidding to be the engine supplier. They want to be the "World" supplier. I don't think that will happen nor would it be good for F1 but they will build an engine. Maybe Porsche/Audi will grace the same car again. The whole fin thing came from F1 and apparently works to stablize the car.
  9. There was a rumor that it was going to be gasoline. You'd think. the 908 has been running a few years now and won at Le Mans and has been dominate in the Euro Le Mans series that there would have been a kit of it by now.
  10. I guess anything is possible. Not only nearly having his arm severed, it took them well over an hour to get him out of the car. They are planning another surgery, but has been responding well today. The limb appears to be stable and alive which was their first priority. That is a good sign. Their concern now is bleeding and infections.
  11. Likely out for the entire F1 season, possibly never returning. http://edition.cnn.com/2011/SPORT/motorsport/02/06/f1.crash/index.html
  12. They are just a little tricky. I use lots of pressure trying to get them to stick on the tire before pulling off the backer. They do work, though.
  13. and there is nothing more else to say about that. from Wisconsin btw.
  14. Nope, it was a group of Lamborghini engineers who came up with the car in there spare time and is considered to be the root of all supercars to come.
  15. Blue prints are probably well guarded secrets and not likely found anywhere on the net.
  16. And the tooling that does exsists is in bad shape. Okey Spaulding, who purchased what was left after Seville Enterprises won their law suit in 2000, has had the money to refurb any tools after 10 years. What I have been told there isn't anything left to refurbish. It would take 100s of thousands of dollars to fix the tooling that is both damaged and missing parts. Then, the second part of the bigger problem all Johan tools were build and designed for a unique injection molding machine which doesn't exsist either. Okay there is some reminates of tooling left, but even if you could bring the tooling back to working order there isn't a machine to injection mold any kits from.
  17. Go Lizards. Camaro broke. Sheesh Chip's boys are falling apart at the seams. And the defending GT champs exploded the corner of their completely off their car.
  18. and guess who got the DP Pole muhahahaha. I don't know it's the best, the series does have some issues.
  19. The DOHC Hemi was a non-production experimental project (A-925) which produced 2 motors, or depending on you source none were actually built. It was Chrysler's answer to the Ford 427 SOHC, but NASCAR baned over head cam motors so they were all single centerline camshafts motors. It's a street Hemi in the Super Bee, but no such thing as a DOHC Hemi that Chrysler built anyway. Porsche's Variocam flat six 3.6 Turbo was a 24v DOHC with a hemispherical combustion chamber. I cannot think of too many other DOHC with a true hemi head.
