Delaware and Hudson Canal Company railcar #10 "Comet" built in 1882, designed for the company’s famous Gravity Railroad, which transported anthracite coal and passengers over the Moosic Mountains between Carbondale and Honesdale, Pennsylvania

Built in early 1882 along side her sister coach #9 "Eclipse", but the Comet was one of the few "smoking cars".

When service ended in 1899 the car was taken up to its current location by draw horses, becoming a small ski factory for a time, then afterwards, a painters studio

the 94 Mercury Sable AIV (Aluminum-Intensive Vehicle) was about 400 pounds lighter than a Taurus SHO, with the same power train, and without rust

The AIV Sable went all-in on aluminum, reinventing the unibody. Most of its steel body panels were replaced with aluminum, and many suspension components followed suit.

Multimatic Motorsports (Ford's exclusive racing partner) entered an aluminum-bodied Sable AIV in the 1995 One Lap of America endurance event, and finished first in class (Mid-Price class) and 15th overall, ahead of far more exotic machinery, like the Cobra Mustangs, Corvette ZR-1s, and even RUF Porsches. The win validated the platform’s stiffness, reliability, and real-world performance advantages.

FWIW,  I beat Ford Authority to the post with this... I wonder, are they looking at my blog? Because it's too coincidental to think that Ford Authority chose today to look at the facebook page that I looked at, which posted this on Feb 9th 2026, the day after I did

you know who deserves a father of the year award? Mark Coletti's dad. He let his son pilot the family Barracuda to a NHRA Eliminator title, defeating the Smothers Brothers '69 Olds to win in F/SA and he got to kiss the trophy girl. Yep, father of the year, because Mark was only 17 yrs old

Pabst Blue Ribbon has a new marketing campaign, pretend a truck has been stolen in California, "Beer is getting warmer, trail is getting colder. Clock's still ticking," the company wrote, urging people to snap a photo and tag them if they see the truck.

A truck carrying an estimated 40,000 pounds of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer was stolen in Montclair in what may be the biggest beer heist ever.

The stolen truck was loaded with what is equivalent to more than 50,000 cans of beer.

Pabst has been using a lot of social media to hype this, like on Instagram, the company wrote: "STOLEN - 40,000lbs of beer."

The post continued: "To the thief: we don't fault you for wanting to brag to your friends how much PBR you have"... (clever)

The company gave the thief an ultimatum.

"Pabst is officially starting the clock now - you have exactly 18 days and 44 minutes ( Pabst Brewing Company was founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1844  ) to return our truck, no questions asked"

Question.... how does any corporate delivery vehicle NOT have GPS tracking, and NOT get tracked by Flock cameras?

I'm guessing this is a marketing campaign strategy to get free publicity (the deadline and founding year, that's a clue) and nothing more. That's actually clever
