Quick question -- has Ford always had this little squiggly on the letter F in their logo? Thanks.

almost from the beginning ... looks like it has been at least 104 years -
I agree. They all have it -- I just don't remember ever noticing it until 2 days ago! Just checking. Thanks!
No they didnt. They still dont.
The ones with the squiggly line are knock offs made my china. Fake fords.
Whatever you do, dont buy one off of craigslist or even used!

What do you read "mindtrip" dot org every afternoon? Very similar to the Berenstain Bears.
To answer the question, it got twisted up like that when the gas tank blew up. It was cheaper just to go with it.
It did not. And I'm a car guy, though not really a Ford guy.
That's why I'm wondering where you find this stuff - pretty trippy.
Glad to hear it hasn't lost its luster. Gotten it off of bumper-to-bumper NJ highways, I hope? Thing looks like it'd be all kinds of fun for an early Sunday morning sprint up and around something out in Hunterdon or Sussex. Guess Monmouth probably has some nice fast county roads, too.
I'd dig one, but I need something bigger and more off-roady. One day, when I'm much richer but not supercar rich, I'll have an expedition SUV with lots of aftermarket love and a little European bullet. Think I'd want a convertible hard top, though.
Ya know what I've found? That really the nexus of opportunity vs. reward comes on the Turnpike. For one thing, it seems like 99% of the time the NJSP has zero f*cks to give about how fast people go. My morning run up to Jersey City is routinely committed at better than 100 mph as far as Exit 11 - and that's in a line of other cars in the left lane.
The cool thing isn't how it handles. Truth be told, there's better. I mean, it's not anything like a Cayman or such. It's more composed than any STI but it's not a marginally better handler than my GTI was. The cool thing is how it moves in the midrange, between 60 and 110 or so. Shocking.
I want to be able to have more cars in my life, though. Once the girls start buying their own, I should be able to do that. I wanna get one of the new Camaros. Just because.
Nice. There's always something to be said for just opening it up on a superhighway, especially on a daily basis ; )
Mid-range acceleration seems to be more of a focal point over the past several years. I've noticed a lot of the supercar cos listing it right alongside 0-62 and 124 mph times, whereas don't recall seeing it very often a few years back. Don't recall seeing so many 0-124 and 186 times, either. Guess now that Bugatti all but owns the speed record by default, the other guys have moved on to different bragging rights.
The reason why I truly dread the advent of autonomous cars is that, for now, the ones we have just get better by the year.
Every once in a while I get an itch to buy a restored something or other, like a '70 Chevelle SS or some such. Then I think "why? for the same money I could buy one of about 20 new cars that are better in every single way."
I guess I'm not overly sentimental. I had a Chevelle, in my youth. I remember how it performed. It would slink off and sulk in a corner, head to head against the car I have now.
Negative camber. A bodies had horrible front end geometry. Basically it comes down to the fact that the spindle is way to small. You can hold an A body spindle in the palm of your hand. A spindle for a modern sports car, on the other hand, is about as tall as the wheel is. There are parts available now to fix this, basically by using nascar style control arms (not the cheap after market tubular crap) and a corvette spindle -- if you do it right, it is possible to make a '70 chevelle handle like a corvette.
I've observed that the same apparent lack of focus on speeding goes for Turnpike southbound, at least to exit 6. For years I've been making near weekly, early morning, runs that direction at speeds I don't want to say. And while I slow when I encounter the occasional unmarked SP vehicle, their just aren't many out there and I rarely see a car pulled over that isn't a disabled vehicle.
There's a lot of smooth new highway (the car lanes) on the Turnpike south now, which is great. Those drives to PA are my compensation for the daily unpleasantness, on side-roads, of the race suspension I put in. That and entrance/exit ramps which are also great fun.
And yeah, the new generation of Camaros and Mustangs are pretty amazing for the money. No longer are they just fast in a straight line.
Speaking of Caymans, I'm kind of anxiously awaiting the next gen GT4 (if they make one), to see if they go w/a smaller blown engine the way they are with the other Cayman/Boxter/lower-end 911 models or if they stick to a 3.8L 6. I love the shove from my turbo, but it's tough for a relatively cheap car like a Cayman to maintain it's character when it's turned into a turbo-4 of some sort. You get way more torque, but the engine note is very different.
"I'm gonna have sex with that guy because he has a Honda Accord" said no chick, ever.
True. If I ever buy one (which will never happen), I will have to roll down the window and dangle my big business out the window while I'm driving around.
'Cause chicks totally dig that look.
I never understood the appeal of wanting chick to get with you because of the car you drive. In my youth, I once made an off-hand comment about a car I saw on the street and that I was thinking about getting one. And this girl with us says she'd date me if I had one of those... it was like anti-viagra. Wanted noting to do with her. But sure, I still "would have"... she was kinda hot. Oh.. I guess I do get the appeal afterall.
Yes. Otherwise it would be a TORDQuick question -- has Ford always had this little squiggly on the letter F in their logo? Thanks.
The middle line? Yes. The little curly bit on the end of that line? No.
Btw -- Do you recall having noticed that squiggly before????

I see what you are saying. And yeah it's been there I have a 2011 Raptor with the squiggle in the F
You are a wise man! :)
I know! I just feel an obligation to point out hypocrisy when I see it. The same people who will scream and hollar "unlawful discrimination" at the thought of not allowing a man in a dress to pee in the girls' room have no qualms about bashing Christians and shutting down free speech and exchange of ideas, shouting down opinions that don't comport with their world view.
Probably because you intuitively knew you could probably impress someone hotter for a lot cheaper than 3 years of car payments, lol
Dude, lol. I'm not bashing Christians. I'm tweaking you for your belief in lluminati conspiracy theories. Nice straw man though. I don't want to shout down your opinion, just make fun of it.
