Crikey, what wooden acting.

Actually, talking of wood, let's start using that for building cars again, all this new technology is just confumasing...

Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

No surprise considering Howie Long isn't an actor.   ;D  And has had too many concussions from football too.

In news that would be surprising to all of no one...

http://www.edmunds.com/car-news/2015-ford-f-150-repair-costs-pricier-than-previous-steel-model-report-says.html

Looks like Ford is pushing back on this pretty hard.  I suspect it'll take a couple of years before the comparable costs are accurately known - and by then GM will have switched to (partial) aluminum, so it might be moot!

I'm sure the insurance companies will adjust their rates upward for the new F-150's

This is why all cars should just be made of Nerf. No injuries, and no trouble.
