The year was 1979. I was rockin’ with my business up front, casual in back hair (for you youngsters, a “mullet”). Cutoffs for dudes were acceptable, and so were baby blue polyester leisure suits.  And I wore them all with pride.

 

I was saving up for my first 8-track in my Corvair when I drove past a Ford dealer and fell in lust with a girl I call “Badass Ranchero.”

 

If this car could talk, I’d be in fricken jail.   

 

Nothing came between Brooke Shields and her Calvins when this truck was born.  But unfortunately, it’s finally time for someone to come between me and Badass Ranchero.

 

I’m inviting you to continue my Ranchero escapades, and let Badass Ranchero’s Legend live on. It’s more than a car.  It’s more than a truck.  It’s the Badass Ranchero.

 

Badass Ranchero is a rust-free Arizona ride. 

 

If you like, I’m happy to go on your inaugural ride in Badass Ranchero, wherein together we will relive portions of it’s history through my descriptive tales.  I’m happy to provide the G-rated versions, or the XXX-rated versions upon request. We can belt out an off-key rendition of “Do you think I’m Sexy,” just as I did while rollin’ to the disco in ’79.  We can cry together as we relive hearing about the death of Freddie Mercury on the AM radio. While in the passenger seat, you may succumb to the overwhelming urge to tease your hair, and carry a rat-tailed comb in your rear Wrangler jeans pocket. I will not judge you.  I’ve been there, friend.  Hopefully Poncho from CHiPs won’t pull us over because of your sudden “need for speed” due to it’s manly 351cid engine with automatic transmission.  I’m sure we’ll do a single wheel-burnout, and Poncho will eat our dust coming from our dual exhaust, but he won’t catch us a second time on his rice-burner, that’s for sure.

 

You’ll tell from our drive that while she drives like a boat, the steering is power, as are the brakes.  (Only the best for my Badass!) 

 

Disclaimer:  This Badass Ranchero is so laden with testosterone, it’ll cause a noticeable increase in your chest hair merely by sitting in the driver’s seat.  As a result, you won’t even notice that while the A/C compressor turns, the car can’t get any cooler. (Seriously.  It blows as hot as the last date I had in it.)

 

Now accepting applications for the new Custodian of Badass Ranchero.  In order to apply, you must:


  1. Know who Roscoe P. Coltrain is;

  2. Respect the fact that Farrah Fawcett was the BOMB;

  3. If you have never worn a mullet, you at least must be related to someone who sported one “Back in the Day.”  Proof will be required.

  4. You need cash. 

  5. You can’t return Badass.  She is sold “as-is,” with no warranty, express nor implied;

  6. Miles are not actual, true miles are unknown.  Note: She's probably got more than I put on my last girlfriend;

  7. Title nor car will be released until funds are cleared.  Wiring funds is best. Or cash on pickup.  ALL FUNDS MUST CLEAR.  Otherwise, I'll sic Scooby Doo on your a$$.

  8. Ask all questions BEFORE purchase, not after. 

 Thanks for reading.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

Top 11 Lego Technic cars to buy on Amazon in 2024

Mon, Jan 22 2024

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. I recently got a birthday wish list from my 11-year-old nephew, and I couldn't help but smile when I saw “Lego Technic Cars” at the top. Lego isnÂ’t a phase, itÂ’s a lifestyle. Once a Lego fan, always a Lego fan. In fact, IÂ’d be willing to bet that many of you reading this right now have some kind of Lego vehicle in a box somewhere, or better yet, on display in your home. While theyÂ’re not necessarily cheap, getting into building Lego Technic vehicles doesnÂ’t have to bankrupt you, either, unless you go for the $400 Lamborghini right off the bat. Here are 11 of our favorite Lego Technic vehicles on Amazon, right now, ranging from an affordable $35 all the way up to $450. LEGO Technic Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Ages 9+ (544 Pieces) - $39.99 (20% off) One of my first and favorite model cars growing up was a first-gen Ford Mustang GT350, so this GT500 for under $40 is right up my alley. At 544 pieces and made for ages 9 and up, the GT500 is a considerable step up from Grave Digger but a great starter to a Technic collection nonetheless. It isnÂ’t the most accurate-looking vehicle in this list, but the AR app and the fact that it can drive make it a worthwhile purchase. $39.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Formula E Porsche 99X Electric Ages 9+ (422 Pieces) - $49.99 Not a Ford fan? Not a problem. This Formula E Porsche 99X is the same price and better looking than the GT500. Even though there are 122 fewer pieces in this Porsche set, it has a level of detail seen in much more expensive Technic sets including numerous decals and a pull back motor.  $49.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Jeep Wrangler Ages 9+ (665 Pieces) - $54.99 This is the set I ended up going with for my nephew, not because I think it is the coolest, but because for the price, I think you get the most bang for your buck. 665 pieces is over 50% more than the comparatively priced Porsche 99X and it also scratches the nostalgia itch for me: The first-ever model vehicle I built was a yellow Jeep Wrangler Sahara. This Wrangler Rubicon has definitely had some aftermarket mods like the front winch, which makes it one of the coolest Technic sets under $60.  $54.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Monster Jam Grave Digger Ages 7+ (212 Pieces) - $34.16 If ever there was a gateway Lego Technic, this Grave Digger is it.

Detroit 3 and UAW could create healthcare pool

Thu, Sep 3 2015

Healthcare costs continue to multiply in the US with no clear end in sight, but the United Auto Workers and the Big Three are negotiating a way to rapid growth under control. As part of the latest contract talks, the union has an idea to create a healthcare pool across all of its members at Ford, General Motors, and FCA US. If accepted, the company-wide integration would spread out the expenses and create a massive member base for bargaining with insurance companies. Both Ford and GM are at least considering the proposal, according to The Detroit News, and FCA US might be on board, as well. The idea is the work of current UAW president Dennis Williams and is based on the similar pool for the Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association for retirees. "I've walked through this several ways; I just don't have any other answer," Williams said to The Detroit News. "I do believe this will work. It's worked with the VEBA." Williams was elected UAW president last year and won by an overwhelming margin. He vowed no more concessions to automakers. In addition to healthcare, the two-tier wage system is another major talking point in the contract negotiation because it gives fewer benefits to entry-level workers. Higher wages are also a request. Healthcare costs are a massive expense for automakers and are expected to reach over $2 billion this year, according to The Detroit News. The payments are up nearly 50 percent or more in just the last four years.
