I am not sure Ford made the right call calling this a "Mustang".  On the one hand, it associates the car with a very successful brand name.  On the other, it isn't "like" Mustangs of yore, except the ill fated Mustang II perhaps in ways.

Ford messed up the Thunderbird, IMHO, back in the day.

Either way, the EVs are coming, and I suspect many of us will own one before we drive our last mile.

Just like a 4-door Thunderbird was not a Thunderbird, a 4-door Mustang is not a Mustang.
IMO, Ford messed up the Thunderbird twice--in 1958 ,when it went to 4 seats, then again in 1967 when it went to 4 doors.
The guy at Ford most responsible for the first mess-up was this fellow.


When I teach the Vietnam War, I ask this question.

Would you trust the guy who changed this . . .



into this . . .



to run a war?

I've heard that's a huge thing... For men, keeping your waist <40" is the key, moreso than pretty much anything else. 

I'm obese per BMI, but at 6'5" I have a 38" waist, so I figure I'm still fine.

The SEC is both normal and weird this year.  The normal is:

Bama is very good, Vandy is very bad.

Florida and A&M look to be pretty good, and Georgia now might be "good".

A few teams like Auburn might be mediocre, even LSU.  UK is "OK" for UK.  Everyone else would love to be mediocre.  Tennessee is bordering on epically bad.  USCe fired their coach and played hard last night but has too many injuries.  I thought the Vols might well improve to "pretty good" or at least good this year.  

Really good teams like Bama, Ohio State, Clemson dispense quickly with most opponents, they might have one bad game like OSU did with IU, but in the main, it's over by the half or earlier and they win 40 something to 10 something.

Notre Dame handled UNC yesterday after hanging around.

Incidentally, I got some excellent feedback on my book from CWS who is a Civil War maven.  I really appreciate his taking his limited time to review and respond.  I have complete Book Two and started on Book Three, where I throw history to the winds to get into a what if scenario of major proportions.

As it happens, if the South "wins", they lose.  I'm still working on that aspect of it.

Alternate history.

I concur.  Slavery was bad.

Still is, because it still exists.
