Funny how both Tigers and Pandas are endangered, that the Pangra would be too.

The roofline looks familiar - is that a Pinto under there?

That's for sure a Pinto/Bobcat.

I clicked the link, and we're both right. And I have dated myself.

And it says there's a trunk-mounted fuel cell. This does not fill me with confidence.

Very cool car, but I can't help but think how much better it'd be with a 302 and with a T5 and 8" rear it's ready for one.

Yes, yes it is - it's the Pinto that should always have been.

Trust me - it's an improvement - search for "exploding pinto" on google.

Dated yourself? Sounds like an unproductive date! Hiyo!

I kid.. I'm proud to be a 73 vintage.

Oh, I don't have to. One of the cases they cover in Torts in law school is Ford Pinto. Their accountant was very happy to testify that they'd costed out what it would cost to fix the gas tanks, and determined that paying wrongful death claims as they came up would save money. For reals.
