I think it is a shame that FORD has lost the vision of Henry Ford, "an affordable car for the masses". Who, but the wealthy, can afford these overpriced new vehicles like a $100K+ pickup truck? I think all the automakers need to fire at least 50% of their software engineers and only keep the...

This thing is awesome. I have a soft military canvas tool bag I keep some tools in, but everything is just jumbled on top of each other that you then have to dig through or dump out on the ground. However, this Yorktown bag is much more organized and easier to find the right tool. Soft...

Attended the Fort Walton Beach Firefighters car show on Saturday and had a nice turnout. Mine was the only FGT in attendance unfortunately. According to some attendees, apparently there are some other FGTs in the area I'm not aware. The search begins, haha. They made trophies out of fire...

Happy Veterans Day to all our vets out there. Here's a picture of my first assignment to pilot training. Left pilot training and headed immediately to Vietnam flying the AC-130 Spectre Gunship. That's me in the sunglasses with my gunship crew.

The time is June 1941, just months before Pearl Harbor ! Henry Ford determined that he could mass produce bombers just as he had done with cars, built at Willow Run Assembly plant in Michigan and proved it. At the time, It was the world's largest building under one roof. This film will...

My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 165 in about 2 seconds." I bought her a bathroom scale. And then the fight started...... ______________________________ I rear-ended a car this morning...the start of a...

Found that the original article had a misprint. They didn’t use automatic transmission fluid (ATF), instead, they used power steering fluid (PSF) and since the fluids don’t mix well, you have to shake the solution while using it. Here’s the correction from the magazine. February 2, 2008...

I couldn't find any floor mats designed to cover the painted sides of our floors, so I designed my own and ordered them through California Car Covers. They are made by Lloyds and work great.

Trailered GT to TN for car show and to visit family and friends in Ohio. Trailer sat in TN for 2 weeks before Pigeon Forge TN car show while I was in OH. First drive to breakfast at Pigeon Forge, I noticed boost gauge wasn't working and attributed it to a weak battery from sitting for 2 weeks...

Here's an article that may mean the FGT will only be of value to car museums since maybe none of us will be driving them or any car on the road in 20 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pq-S557XQU
