I can clearly remember when 0-60 in 6.6 seconds was a sporty car. Now, your average Honda Accord can do that.

When the secondary purpose of playing a tape was to drown out the sounds of my rattling car, the quality of the tape was fairly irrelevant. I just needed it to be loud.

Maybe even faster: Tested: 2017 Ford Explorer Platinum (caranddriver.com)
You didn't know you are so sporty!

The article - comparing a '16 Explorer Sport to a '17 Explorer Platinum - is kind of dumb. The '17 model year got an upgrade to the info-tainment system, but they are mechanically identical vehicles. The Platinum is the luxury-trimmed version of the Sport.
The newer Explorers are surprisingly agile for a big box. My '17 is a big step up from my previous '06.

And, like my Dodge, go 80,000 miles on nothing but oil changes every 10,000 miles. A car with 80,000 miles on it used to be considered almost ready to junk.

Not a good thing to wake up to. 48" main. Looks like a total of 3 square blocks got flooded.

My '17 Explorer has 89k. The only thing significant it has needed was a new water pump (a known weakness of the Explorer).

Maybe 6 years ago I was working with the city to replace a storm sewer across my employer's property. The thing was so old it was made out of wood.

That's Steve - an old industry friend of mine. He worked at Singer in the early days, before I did. We chatted a lot and played with all of the new toys whenever he popped in to the shop and I'm pretty sure that our conversations made it in to a least of couple of his articles for Stereophile.
