There are a lot of automotive trends and styles I don't understand. Not my style, but I respect the time and effort and thought that goes into them. This is not one of those times. Ridiculous.

This thread should be in the Trading Post!

The winged warriors have been my fav muscle cars since I first read an article in Car And Driver back in the mid 80s. That black Hemi Daytona article just hooked me.

Tour was announced last week, not sure of all the dates, other than the local show.

Got my tix to go see Ozzy. July 9th. Megadeth opening. What's weird is that wifey pretty much demanded we get tix. And who am I to say no? Iron Maiden goes on sale next week. Super stoked about that one.

Meh. We got a dump of snow last week. Yestrday was -17 when I drove to work. Today is currently around -5, and we have freezing rain, so driving will be fun.

LaFerrari Aperta would make sense. I'd like to see Tamiya's take on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Would also be great to see them do another SUV or truck. Years ago, they did the Jeep Wranglers, Grand Cherokee. They did a Mitsubishi Monterro and the Toyota Land Crusier. Would be cool to see a new kit in a similar vein.

If yousearc haround places like Shapeways, you'll be surprised at how much 1/24 or 1/25 accessories you'll find!

I'm only in a couple of guitar related groups on fb. I don't post much at all on fb, pretty much just lurk. I'm far more active on instagram. That one is just pictures, no drama or nonsense. As for facebook admins being controlling of the groups they've created? Well of course! If i create a group, I want to see what I want to see . It's MY group. And if you're not following MY rules in MY group, beat it. Facebook, forums, whatever. They're not a democracy. Nor should they be. Come to my house and act like a jerk, you'll be asked to leave.

The truck has already been out in the rest of the world for a number of years now. Suspension tech is already 5 years old. Interior switches and infotainment is lifted from the F150, which is now 4 years old. The powertrain was adapted to fit an existing chassis, and just didn't feel great to me. I will say this, the size is perfect. Lots of room for people and stuff, yet it's not a huge truck. I'm 6'6" and fit very comfortably. And the back seat is surprisingly good.

Doesn't take much for everyone to completely forget how to drive. The same people I know that smashed up their vehicles last year have already started smashing up their vehicles this year. Arghh...an inch of snow...

Got to play with this last week. 2019 Ford Ranger Lariat. This one is Ford Canada Fleet demo unit. It's a nice truck, but it already feels kind of dated, even though you can't buy them here yet.

I'm still trying, but have a long way to go.

The patina isn't fake. He bought the car like that, with the solid shell, and then preserved it. Personally, I love Icon's products. One of the few builders of old cars I would consider throwing money at.

Before this gets ugly, please read the other threads on this topic. Greg explains where the current issue is and why.

Can't tell if troll or serious.

The engine is fantastic, but wow. That "Super Charger" is ugly. Not a fan of the exterior treatment at all.

i think it's a cool concept. Great idea to bring some of the e-tech to people that would otherwise never listen. However, in the bigger picture, the switch to electric cars just isn't feasible. First of all, as has been mentioned, it really isn't more environmentally friendly. The enviro-cost of producing batteries is ridiculously high. The cost to dispose of batteries is high. And electric cars still use a ton of fossil fuiels; oils, grease, not to mention that the cars themselves are significantly made of plastic. Second, our power grids can;t handle it. imagine if every other house bought an electric car and had ther recommended 240V quicker chargers systems installed. The power grid would fail. Heck, if one in every 5 or 6 houses did that, I suspenct there would be failures. no, we're a long way from electric cars being the norm. Besides, until someone produces an electric truck or SUV that can fit my lifestyle, I'm just not interested. The means seating for four, plus gear, and the ability to head offroad, and the ability to tow. In the meantime, I like seeing projects like this.

The Flu.

Great build! There's a 911 Turbo in that colour combo at the dealer down the street from me. I drooled.

Very cool!

Nicely done!

I've now read a couple of articles on this truck. And it makes me chuckle. Both articles talk about how he is using an old truck. There is nothing old on that truck. Would love to take it for a run.

Finally found this at a reasonable price. Box open, but bags sealed.

As an FYI, the search function is a wonderful thing. Four existing threads on the subject of double kits, two of which the OP created. Just saying.
