crazy fast and looks super cool. Would have mine in blue with white stripes with the carbon package.

...but it doesn't have a manual. So, therefore, I would get the GT350R instead and enjoy being connected to my sports car.
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

You know, sexually. He's a bit of a freak.

I hands on manufacture the hard tooling (molds) for the parts for the OEMs.   Though we mainly specialize in automotive optics ( Lighting, headlights, tails, reflectors, light pipes, etc) we still do other automotive.

It's really cool to see stuff long before anyone else does (1-3 years).  I wish I could post pics before stuff is shown to the public..but we have a confidentiality agreement.  I have lots of cool stories.  Plus, since this is the tooling capital of Canada, many of my friends do what I do so I get to hear of the cool stuff they're working on.  And due to proximity, many locals work for the OEMs and I usually see one camouflaged test mule weekly.  I'm super-lucky that I get to be around cool automotive stuff every day.  I love my job!!

I'm pretty sure I could post pics now that the car has been shown publicly though.

FWIW, I worked on the upcooming Mustang EV thing too.

Kind of a Ford version of an X6. But electric.

Not sure who was asking for that, or what the Mustang really has to do with it really.

Seem more like a bloated CUV than a Mustang.  And thanks for the pic!  Where do you get these from?

Yeah, exactly. I'm not sure about the Mustang tie-in. Risky ground there.

And try https://giphy.com/ for all your giffing needs.  ;D

Well at least they didn't call it the Bronco...or Blazer FFS.  :P ::)  'cause that'd have been SOO wrong.

They should've called it Lightning.

Huzzah!


Obviously.

Because they can't.

Because the Bronco(s) are already in the pipeline for release.....

But you didn't hear that from me.   ;D

Yup, aware.  I was just poking fun because the new Blazer is the "Camaro" of SUV's (styling cues apparently) and everybody was losing their shi#.  No one who'd actually buy one, but shi# lost nonetheless.  So it would've made sense to name the new Mustang inspired SUV a Bronco - How dare they!! More lost shi#.

I don't imagine it (the Bronco) will be pretty.  At least no one will lose shi#.

Oh Baby!  I like it.

Jay's getting old...but I did like it when he dropped a couple of gears and hit it.  I'd take one like that.  Plenty of Oh Baby! to go around.
