Hi Oppo! Well I’m home from another business trip and had another interesting rental car this week. Take a look at the three hints below and let me know if you can figure out what it was!

Quintessentially American (seriously, like the most American vehicle ever)

Is made out of a revolutionary/unique material (for its class) with a revolutionary/unique engine (for its class)

The 13th generation came out in 2015

What do you think it is?

Not sure what the reference is from but yes. That’s it.

F151. A hat tip to Bacardi 151, which is what the engineers were probably drinking the day they thought up an aluminum bodied pickup with a turbo gas engine.

Not that it’s a bad thing...

Third clue did you in. I had 0 ideas until #3 - no other vehicles with that many generations I don’t think.

I was afraid of that. I specifically didn’t put it was a pickup because that would be a dead giveaway.

1) Camaro, duh

2) Uhhh....err...hmmm...guhhh

3) F-150 EcoBoost!

Lol, so many WHOOSH noises off those. We have those on our rental lot, they’re hilarious

Ah, I get you now. Yeah, it’s got a ton of power and does make the whooshing noises quite a bit. I’ll post some acceleration run videos that I did and you can see how it struggles for grip left and right.

If I wasn’t worried about getting a write-up (or worse), I’d have a ton of clips of smoke going up through car-return lanes by now :P
