Most powerful F150 Raptor ever coming

$5.19/gallon for 93 it's hard to get excited about it.

@iman29 I think that's the Audi e-Tron.

Must have been some other car rumbling I guess. There were a lot driving by in Motown

I think that Mercedes was at the Red Bank Cars & Coffee this morning.

I think that Mercedes was at the Red Bank Cars & Coffee this morning.

It just got imported into the states about a month ago and yes is a local driver

That was my guess too. Maybe they added an external Soundakator.

Didn't get any photos, but I saw a massive Lambo gang on 287 today. I got blown by on both sides. Should get a Rick cam.

Picture doesn't do this paint justice, but I was driving on Belt Parkway when I saw this on the side on Friday so the picture bites... iridescent pearl white...sort of. Doesn't come thru in pic but it was neat.

Yesterday, 110% spring day for an oil change and complimentary wash and cruise. This turd shines up nice. I’m beginning to like this quite a bit. I think it’s just the satisfaction of giving it some TLC and miles. Next, some Lexol leather buff.

How about a fixer upper ‘69 Cougar?
It only needs,…everything.View attachment 185205View attachment 185207View attachment 185206

I always liked them, but thats alot of rust to fix....and thats only what you can see.

Before I forget, this thing too, occupying my alignment rack View attachment 185222View attachment 185223

That really is a beautiful car...of course Giorgetto Giugiaro designed it and most of his car designs are pretty memorable.....I didnt realize tho that it shares its tail lights with the Pantera...I guess that makes sense...Giugiaro also designed the Mangusta

@UtahJoe I need that ONR!

Do you and @UtahJoe use the Optimum No Rinse regularly and do you recommend it? And what method, as I have seen different methods on YT?

I do and I really like it. I mean most of the time, my mustang just has a little dust on it...im not out driving it in the rain or long distances and the car sits in the garage. But I love that I can wash it in my garage, in the shade, and not have to roll the windows up. the last time I had it out it got covered with pollen, so ill probably just hit it with the hose quick first.

I mix it up as the instructions say in a 5 gal bucket, but I also fill a spray bottle up from the bucket. I spray sections of the car down first, heavily...then I use the wash mit on it...then dry it. I have different wash mitts/towels for the paint/wheels. I think it does a nice job.

@UtahJoe was my little protégé with ONR plus he's an engineer so he follows directions. I do what he does, and only if it's light dust, pollen, or whatnot. If it's more than that I hose it off first so I might as well do a full wash, but ONR would work just as well most of the time.

Spotted last night at Black River Barn.

I was thinking that these prices might finally cool off this ridiculous truck market. Im still looking for an old classic truck, but the prices have been batshit crazy.

One (albeit small) nice thing about these diesel prices...the amount of brodozers I see driving around has really plummeted.

I've been using it for years. Never did the 5 gal bucket nonsense - just keep refilling the spray bottle utilizing the same vol/vol ration as recommended

Mmmm. Big ass wing.

^^^Graphite Blue Metallic GT3. Pretty sure that's a paint to sample car, $11,000 paint choice.

Skip seen on 287 in the city of Harding.

Speaking of ONR, you turned me on to that at the guy's shop in Hillsboro who did our PPF. Do you know if he is still in business? I have a bunch of dings in the hood piece and want to replace it.
