What's Wrong With That Picture: New Edging Punishable By Death Edition

Just try driving that Mustang past this checkpoint, pal; we’ll fill you up with M855 Ball faster than you can say “PI heads add torque and subtract nothing!”


I suspect there’s a bit of a perspective issue in this photograph, which was taken during last night’s California Armed Standoff O’ The Week, and that the CHP officer actually has his deadly baby-killing assault weapon approved police safety tool pointed towards the ground near the door of the car. Still, between the fact that a driver is being random-stopped by someone with armor-piercing bullets and Extra-Fat Sergeant Schultz on the other side of the car, it’s hard to not feel a little a queasy. My four-year-son saw me uploading this photo and said, “Why are those policemen pointing their guns at the man? I think they’re Army people, they have Army guns.”

“Save that Tea Party crap for RonPaulForums.com, kid,” I replied. With that said…

  • TCowner Need to have 77-79 Lincoln Town Car sideways thermometer speedo!
  • Kjhkjlhkjhkljh kljhjkhjklhkjh I'd rather they have the old sweep gauges, the hhuuggee left to right speedometer from the 40's and 50's where the needle went from lefty to right like in my 1969 Nova
  • Buickman I like it!
  • JMII Hyundai Santa Cruz, which doesn't do "truck" things as well as the Maverick does.How so? I see this repeated often with no reference to exactly what it does better.As a Santa Cruz owner the only things the Mav does better is price on lower trims and fuel economy with the hybrid. The Mav's bed is a bit bigger but only when the SC has the roll-top bed cover, without this they are the same size. The Mav has an off road package and a towing package the SC lacks but these are just some parts differences. And even with the tow package the Hyundai is rated to tow 1,000lbs more then the Ford. The SC now has XRT trim that beefs up the looks if your into the off-roader vibe. As both vehicles are soft-roaders neither are rock crawling just because of some extra bits Ford tacked on.I'm still loving my SC (at 9k in mileage). I don't see any advantages to the Ford when you are looking at the medium to top end trims of both vehicles. If you want to save money and gas then the Ford becomes the right choice. You will get a cheaper interior but many are fine with this, especially if don't like the all touch controls on the SC. However this has been changed in the '25 models in which buttons and knobs have returned.
  • Analoggrotto I'd feel proper silly staring at an LCD pretending to be real gauges.
