QOTD: How Much Does It Hurt to Lose a Base Engine?

Hey there B and B, I am going to level with ya a bit. This week has gotten off to a slow start in part because it's a holiday week and news is slow, in part because I was working on our podcast, and in part because I've been working on a long op-ed. So the QOTD is a bit late today.

ToolGuy The interesting thing about Foley's rental Bronco is how it has been retrofitted with 4-wheel steering with tiller fire truck levels of rear steering angle -- that or the world's slowest smoothest drift. (For clues to what is actually going on, notice the ride height relative to surrounding traffic, suspension movements and steering inputs with the 'in-car' shots of the daughter's convertible.) Does anyone watch anything anymore, or you all buried in your phones lol.
Duties Just a comment on auto names vs alpha-numerics. I totally agree names are sexier and more memorable than meaningless letters and numbers. However, coming up with fresh names based on animals or geography is harder to come by since so many are already taken. Secondly, securing worldwide copyright is difficult or don’t translate well. Remember the famous Chevy Nova (No Go). In the meantime, it’s fun to reminisce about the great names over the years: Thunderbird, Barracuda, Sting Ray, Mustang, Legend, Vigor, Integra, Toronado, New Yorker, Continental, Newport, Land Cruiser, Galaxie, Impala, Comet, LeBaron . . .
Dwford I like watching Netflix movies filmed in other countries, just to look for the randomly inserted old Econoline van or Jeep.
