I just want to see the next gen GR86 :/

I add “holiday cargos” to regular trains. I prefer the look and it’s way cheaper.

I did pick up a Christmas boxcar with my birth year for cheap though.

That’s bold of them to still tour when the one recognizable member, the lead singer, died.

Every Lionel train is solid gold to Boomers.

It kills them when you try to explain the market isn’t what it was in the 90s/00s.

The Capone angle is hilarious though.

There’s lots to love about HO! For one, nearly every prototype has been modeled. Not to mention space savings.

Do what brings you joy!

One of the most underrated Fords of the 90s.

The 1st gen Taurus SHO exemplified how they were exiting the Malaise era.

I'm not sure if they had any major mechanical issues that caused them to prematurely expire. But it seems everyone who had a 3rd gen Ranger more or less ran them into the ground. They ended up as work trucks if they didn't roll off the lot as one.

The 3rd gen Ranger used to be everywhere, until it suddenly wasn’t.

You’d think there would be.

Even the 2.7 ecoboost V6 would work.

Although, I wish one American automaker made a small displacement V8. Something like a 3.7-4.2L that made around 350-375hp.

I’ve never even seen it. Different actors so who cares?

Home Alone II is arguably a better movie than the 1st. But everyone forgets there was a 3rd.

But the water is sourced from the respective regions, so it technically is different.

RAM is making a factory lowered 1500 with a Supercharged, 650HP HEMI.

Fuck yeah street trucks.

Now offer it as a 2 door 😬

I was thinking about how I'd change their SUV lineup. Axing the Bronco Sport for a slightly more rugged Escape makes sense. Then keep the Explorer, Bronco, and Expedition.

I wish Ford gave all their SUVs a unified look.

Ghoulsmobile 👻 @oldsmobile.bsky.social · 3d

They were doing light bars back in the 80s! Way ahead of the times lol.

As much as I dislike it, putting the horsey on the front of that car helped it sell better than it would've.

They should've called it the Thunderbird.

And I almost said "bring back Mercury as Ford's all EV brand" lol.

Nothing beats the satisfaction of serving Postwar/MPC O scale trains ☺️
