I forgot that the DEWbirds also had one for each passenger

(Btw there are *four* of these on BaT now, in case you want a Thunderbird)

But one day near Milford a Lotus Omega passed me going the other direction. I couldn’t believe it; I banged a U turn and gave chase and when the GM guys realized what was happening they lost me almost instantly

It was not hang with a Lotus Omega fast

The way the intake opens around 4K rpm and just cranks the tach around to redline

The way the tire smoke flows past the driver window when you do a burnout

It was proper fast, hang with a Mustang fast as long as you didn’t get beat off the line

In context, it totally does

Honestly, their relationship and history adds a lot to the performance. It’s a really fun production, which is not something you can say about every staging of Godot

I took a spring break road trip in one of these from Michigan to Key West; what an epically cool car that is

rapidogroup1985 If you're wondering what Rapido has been up to the last few months then look below.
We've consolidated all the Scorpios and Xr4ti's into the lower section of the property. This has been a huge undertaking and still have more work to do however major progress has been made.
If anyone is interested in purchasing any rust free Scorpio or Xr4ti's we have many examples to choose from.
Call us at 775-516-1098 or message us below with any questions or inquiries.
There is a total of 45 Scorpios (2 of them being the rare 5spd!) and over 50 xr4ti's (5 non sunroof examples). The cars have sat for 5 to 20 years and were all driven in and parked when acquired. One would have to go thru the fuel system and the rest of the engine to bring upto date to be driven again.

Yeah, my guess is more than the 50 manual Scorpios they sold…but I wouldn’t put a lot of money on that

No, V6 only, which ultimately is why I didn’t get one, esp since the Lincoln V6 was detuned from the version the Jag got

Had an SE and SVT Contour; great cars, well deserving their cult status. Unfortunately never got a chance to drive the Lincoln, though I almost ordered one of the 5 speeds back in the day

I also can’t overstate how much Earle-Sears is making this the central issue of her campaign. I’ve received several mailers from them and they all look basically like this

Related: people using the term “let me double click on that” should be fast forwarded into the sun.

Not only is it dated, it doesn’t even mean “emphasize,” the way people seem to think it does

Pritzker: "I think it's important to recognize that the Trump administration does not seem to respect any laws in the United States. They just do what they want to do and they'll keep doing it unless someone stops them. Here in Illinois we're stopping them."

I doubt it, since the glass is still there and presumably still needs to be sealed etc

I think it’s far more the latter than the former. The headliner is a pure cost add! Plus you have to pay for the new parts
shuadc.bsky.social
Part of me thinks this is an elaborate troll, honestly. Like “oh we should build a cheap car instead of robots? Here’s a cheap car for you”

The roof thing barely makes sense otherwise

Can’t park there mate

Why just these two?

Also Rapides are…not that expensive

Damnit
