Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

80s Mustangs were hideous.  But they're collectable now because they had that 5.0 and could really move (for the time).  But to abandon the familiar body design for that crap....ugh.

Might be paywalled, but I was able to access this on mobile this morning:

It's discussing the future of lithium-ion battery tech and the challenges of scale. They seem to think that we're not going to get to a truly "viable" EV scenario at a mass level without solid state battery tech. That's due to a lot of the issues I've noodled on, like lithium and other metal mining scalability, etc. 

One of the few I've seen actually talking about this stuff in depth.

Really 1973 was the end of the first era of Mustangs.  After that, they introduced the "Mustang II" which looked pretty much like the Ford Pinto.  It wasn't until 1979 that they switched to the Fox body that you find hideous, which was the standard platform through 1993.

I actually liked the Fox body a lot better than some other iterations (I even owned one for about 10 years).  It was absolutely better than the Mustang II (Which many Mustang clubs won't even acknowledge as a Mustang) and it was also better than some of the bloated, more sedan-like looking 1st gen Mustangs of the early 70s.

#1 was certainly high on my list circa early 90's.  I always like the LX Mustang of the era a little better for some reason.  

The 80's/early 90's Camaro did not age well at all IMO and the mid 90's to mid '00's aged worse.  

Love seeing Corvette Clubs get together, they are quite prolific.    One cool byproduct of living in Indy, mass respect and interest in automobiles.  Lots of cool shows, fairs and festivals.  To say nothing of all the cool testing they do at IMS.    This is always the best month or two of the year with classics on the road following winter and getting into May in Indy.

It may not be Pebble Beach, Amelia or some of the other high profile shows but there's not much you won't see in any given year.

One of the benefits of living in SoCal is that I see a lot of pretty crazy cars on the road.

In ~2003, I was riding motorcycles with a Purdue buddy from Indiana up on Mulholland Highway and we were stopped at a turnout for a break. A parade of ~100+ Ferraris, of all vintages, comes roaring past. Must have been the local Ferrari club. I looked at him and said "I doubt there are this many Ferraris in the entire state of IN..."

It's almost crazy how jaded you get... How exotic a car has to be before it genuinely gets your attention here. Even seeing a McLaren is pretty much ho-hum. Lamborghini, Ferrari? Yeah, I see them in the Target parking lot. Heck, I remember in the early 2000s when I lived in an apartment, and there was an apartment-dweller who had a BMW Z8. Fancy cars are just not all that impressive here.

One that I rarely see and always get a little excited about are Aston Martin. It's one of those situations where you feel like it's somebody that doesn't just have money; they have taste. 

I don't think I've ever seen a Bugatti... That would be an event. That goes beyond "taste" to someone who is just flaunting their wealth again lol...

Oh, and to keep it on topic-- there is NOT an electric version of the Mustang above.

Husker RED with Blackshirt accents is pretty

Her current middle school colors are red and black, I'm gonna go with that.
