Re: In Defense of Enzo, who loved Jeeps
Worse, they were ******** about it. instead of letting Ken Miles have
the win, which he needed, they were made to cross one-two-three-Ford
came off looking like jerks, which they were. Then, he was
killed....which made it worse. It was to Ford's racing program what
"After The Fall" was to Arthur Miller. Made them pariahs.
And the new GT is a joke-no fuel cell, no AN fittings, cast bolt-on
wheels, and an interior like a Focus. However, since most of their
market didn't even know what a GT-40 was, or associate 'Le Mans' with
anything but a Pontiac, it's looking like the joke is on them.
