Since it was snowing here *again* today, this seems appropriate:

I don't know Art .........

Even though Ford has made some dumb decisions like calipers that fail in under 20K, radiator cores popping, or the oil cooler rotting off day before Pocono.

My favorite personal experience is the injectors being put under the VC, so the lines leak into the case........ filling the intercooler........ blowing the turbo's .......run away valve no existent! Requiring an engine on a 70K truck. FORD 6.4 IS A POS! Nope you are right.
FORD = Fixed Or Repaired Daily

I find it fascinating you shit on the vehicle that pulled your race trailer out of the road in the rain...... when that Big Dodge diesel couldn't........We can chalk it up to no cones to guide you

Maybe rip on GM = Garbage Motors.....ignition switches.........or the fact that Dodge is now Fiat = Fix it again Tony!
Chevy = Can Hear Every Valve Yell

The only thing that moves Golf balls was your toilet that is certified to do it.

I don't know about you Jack, but my toilet flushing needs are not for golf balls and chess pieces... lets see how it does with 3 jars of peanut butter, that is a little bit closer to what I need.

Maybe not funny as such, but pretty cool - do you get a new car, or get laughed at???

BMW NZ participate in Aprils Fools with a local gag every year... this one was pretty cool though!

Last years one:

I think Mrs. Maurier and Mr. Sun should have bought the ZZZ Series for Chloe!

A local group ran a Farcebook scam yesterday for April Fools day, claiming that Harrison Ford was going to be making an appearance at the Rhinebeck Aerodrome (home of WW-I vintage warbirds and a weekly airshow). The radio DJ telling the story quipped that he would probably be dropping into a (named) restaurant in the village once he left the airport.

Many years ago, another local radio station made an April Fools announcement that the space shuttle would be making an emergency landing at our nearby international airport. (It was a plausible story, since the airport was a designated NASA emergency landing site.) There was allegedly a traffic jam all around the perimeter of the airport trying to witness the landing...despite there not even being a space shuttle in orbit or on the launch pad at the time.....

Dang, I'm trying to remember the last time I was at the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome. Probably the early 1990s? A few guys at the company I worked for back then used to take a ride up there in late spring or early summer. Great trip, but up and back on bikes (taking mostly back roads) is a LONG day.

You can always fly into 20N (Kingston) and take a taxi across the bridge to Rhinebeck. Of course, you may want to advise the pilot of the Ross-Tech company jet that the runway in Kingston is a white-knuckle experience with the bridge being in the way.....

In the middle of the night last night, I realized that I could pull together the above two completely different recent posts of mine from this thread into one...and show a runway-level view of the bridge to boot. Top Gear USA drove through the area a few years ago, and stopped at 20N (Kingston Airport) to shoot their golf ball driving challenge!

I'm purposely not embedding this video link, since the board's video embed code apparently strips out time indexes. This link should drop in right on a good view of the runway end and bridge. Anyone interested in seeing the whole thing (Supercars racing a golfball 200 yards from a standing start) can rewind to the beginning.....
