We had to put a flat bed on the work truck last week or so, and the welder and I got to talking about Ford tractors when my dad popped in about New Holland being a good tractor to which I basically said "Same thing."
If memory serves, Ford tractors were previously produced by Fiat up until their contract to use the Ford name expired and their tractors started carrying the New Holland name. We started laughing when we realized that Chrysler has their hand in Fiat...thus if Fiat still had rights to the Ford name for their tractors, in a stretched, round-about way, Chrysler would have ties to a Ford product.
...I'm a Ford guy. >.>
The OEM world is weird that way no? International Harvester sold off their ag business division to Case Corporation, to later become Navistar International (the truck manufacturer) while Case then became Case-IH. Fiat acquired the Ford-New Holland merger along with Case-IH, and later became CNH (Case-New-Holland.) So you have these weird situations where these mergers and partnerships end up creating odd business histories of brands one never thinks have any real relationships. :p
The same thing can be said about the Deere-Hitachi-Kenki partnership, or the long history of JLG/Grove in the airlift market.
Did anyone else experience an intense epiphany about life and the universe last night or just me?
I suspect it might have just been you. :p

I do this stuff in stores too though, I don't wanna talk to the people working there. I find what I need, pay, and leave. If I can't find it I'd rather walk around until I find do or find something else that interests me than talk to the employees lol Backread and saw this :|
I have been back in electronics this past week(layaway really). I would rather not talk to the customer... but we get forced to talk to them. I just want to walk around and help when they actually need help not walk up to them and do the "Excuse me, do you need any help?" or "Have you found what you are looking for?" >_> I just wanna be behind a counter and not have to make awkward conversation.

I've actually driven a couple of GT-R's and a few GTS/GTS-T's and they really aren't anything that special in factory form. I've never driven a heavily modified one, though.

Heavily depends on the generation for me. I adore older Fords, not so much newer ones.

BMW's in recent years got less pretty, IMO, but holy crap have become amazing to drive.

Too new. Model A or bust. What is your favorite engine and why is it the 390 FE?

The 390's alright, but if I had to choose a big block, it would be a 428.

427/428's are FE engines, too, with more cubes.

427/428's are FE engines, too, with more cubes. Still, 390 is a good, strong number. *still making gesture*
Gravitas.

390 is a great number, if you don't mind people questioning your ability to satisfy a woman.

I'm pretty sure everyone on this site is still trying to bleach that sight from their eyes.

Thought I added caption to that video, I am talking with a friend and we talked about Advance Wars, I miss playing that game.
I did find an older GBA laying around and for $5, I might order that Advance Wars.
I used to play the SHIT out of Advanced Wars.

I'm out.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
