I'm with you on this Tony. I think going all in on EV is a gross overstep and will be looked upon as the big regret. Hybrid might be my next vehicle, but never a full EV.

EVs is a very smart move but it is not to save the planet. It's about government, kickbacks, and insider trading.

Don't you guys remember Obama's 'stimulus' ? It sure stimulated a lot of pockets alright! Theirs.

This is exactly why I bought a 22 Shelby, I figured it would be the last one that isn't electric in some fashion.

What color did you pick? Stripe or birthday suit?

Last question: M/T or A/T?

That's like saying I am a little bit pregnant.

Sounds like you have a bit of good taste... imagine that!

Is it like a cherry metallic or a burgundy? Inquiring minds want to know.

Guess it is a like being a little pregnant, part manual, part auto, clutches just no pedal, but will shift itself lol.

It's a candy tinted clear coat. Darker red when inside, pops a lot brighter in the sun.




Better representation of what it looks like in person than I can get so far.

Thank you.

I thought so too. Almost all of them in rapid Red had black stripes, I thought the white broke up some of the other black parts all over the car so I ordered it.

Maybe everyone saw this already. Now that those who want EV's have probably bought them, the rest of the car buying public isn't interested and Ford is getting stuck with inventory. The article states that Ford loses serious money on each vehicle and said that it is normal for new projects. Doesn't make sense to me if very few are going to buy them in the coming years.

Ive been watching a guy on youtube that purchased an experimantal EV van. Obanga gave them like 2 million to make a van that would go 100 mph.

Way down in the middle of this article, it states the fire started near an EV. What a surprise. I'm hoping the 3,000 vehicle owners will hear of this when they don't get their cars. I'm also hoping the dead man's survivors get some justice out of this. https://www.foxnews.com/world/cargo-...ast-guard-says

IIRC that happened a while back as well. About 4000 Porsche and Audis and Bentley , lot of EVs, caught fire and finally sank because they couldn't put it out.

There have been a few of these ship burnings and many other things as well.

Scary Stuff... And they want us to park these in a garage attached to your house?

Here is something that was shared with me today that I thought might share...
