We find goofy music from every era. Very cool story about a fleet of 18 Mercury Marauders that were specialized and donated to the Florida Police. Could go 150 mph with no vibration, upgraded brakes, etc. Wish they built and sold this as the true marauder, that would have been hot. https://www.thedrive.com/news/34755/the-legend-of-the-fhp-mercury-marauder-the-fastest-and-rarest-panther-of-them-all

Love this edition of Jay Leno's Garage with the Subscription EV van he gets to drive. Talk about roomy for a party! -
Tillamook Cheese Curds are the bomb too especially if battered and deep fried.

Editorial on why Ford should build a Raptor Mustang. What are your thoughts? Should ford have a Raptor version of Mustang and what about the rest of the product line? Every SUV/CUV should they have a raptor package like GM does with SS? https://www.thedrive.com/news/34703/why-ford-must-build-a-mustang-raptor Story is about a new auto site that tracks down cheap manual track time type auto's. https://www.thedrive.com/news/34727/this-site-tracks-down-all-the-cars-with-manual-transmissions-under-5000

Agree, with Drew not around or Bill, seems the sales stuff has slid off. Some interesting numbers for sure. https://www.cbtnews.com/how-auto-sales-fared-in-q2-2020-amid-pandemic/ https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2020/07/seeing-red-u-s-auto-sales-q2-2020/

@USA-1 Sorry, I looked back and thought I had posted the updated Story that talked about the last couple weeks of Arizona leading the nation in infections and deaths. My Bad. The rest I will reply DM to keep it all auto from here out. Investors had an interesting report on 13 companies headed for a train wreck. Ford is among these 13 companies. Looks like 5.2 billion lost for the Q2 on top of the last quarter. Over all sales are expected to be down 58% from a year ago and down 500% from it's 28 cents a share profit to a Negative $1.24 per share loss. OUCH https://www.investors.com/etfs-and-funds/sectors/sp500-analysts-train-wreck-quarter-coming-companies-stocks/

Agree that based on current exchange $50,872 is pricey for this car, but then Europe is used to paying way more than we are for an auto. -

Still better looking than a Tesla style wise! 201 RWD HP 229lb ft of torque Not bad for a subcompact. Now that I see it is a subcompact, will never come here to the US. -

VW seems to have a got hatch EV coming out in Europe. Hope it comes here, very good looking. https://electrek.co/2020/07/08/vw-seat-2021-cupra-el-born-stunning-electric-hot-hatchback/ Rivian has secured a $2.5 Billion round of funding to insure long term operations. To Quote: Today, the startup announced a new $2.5 billion round of funding – its first in 2020: T. Rowe Price used to be one of Tesla’s biggest investors before it sold most of its shares last year. Joe Fath, portfolio manager of T. Rowe Price Growth Stock Fund, commented on the investment round: Rivian disclosed the other investors in the round: Soros Fund Management LLC, Coatue Fidelity Management and Research Company Baron Capital Group Amazon BlackRock Baron Capital Group, Fidelity, and Blackrock are also all current major investors in Tesla. https://electrek.co/2020/07/10/rivian-secures-billion-funding-tesla-investors/#more-140204 Seems a Tesla Model Y has arrived in Sweden a year ahead of the launch and is owned by Volvo. Reverse Engineering anyone? https://electrek.co/2020/07/10/tesla-model-y-lands-europe-thanks-volvo-reverse-engineer/#more-140188 -

Such a blinded Righty! Guess reading the fine print is hard since this was about the last few weeks since the ignorant governor opened everything up, encouraging people to go shopping, go out to eat. All fake news as he kisses the incompetent ass of the president. Yup this is a political post since you went with giving me a label. First I am an Independent, I vote for the best person in that office not a party line of BS. Second, I posted the story as I DO CARE about EVERYONE here and in our country regardless of political leaning. Stay Safe, Wear a face mask and do your best till we have a cure for this pandemic. End of political, back to Auto's. Nice to see the CO2 levels dropping across the globe, sadly with people going back to life as usual levels are going back up affecting the planet. Some very interesting studies on the whole EV versus ICE debate on which produces the most CO2. Coal energy does take EV's up to par with ICE, but for the most part, EV's win out. https://blog.ucsusa.org/rachael-nealer/gasoline-vs-electric-global-warming-emissions-953 https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/mar/23/electric-cars-produce-less-co2-than-petrol-vehicles-study-confirms https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/headlines/society/20190313STO31218/co2-emissions-from-cars-facts-and-figures-infographics https://www.homechargingstations.com/co2-emissions-electric-vehicle/ https://www.inverse.com/article/60305-electric-vehicles-versus-fossil-fuel-cars-on-the-environment
