Splinter: Wooden Supercar - Got Wood?
Splinter: Wooden Supercar - Renewable Supercar - Automobile Magazine
From God's own composite, Joe Harmon is making a renewable supercar.

Yes, this is a wooden car. Forget the jokes. Anyone making more than mere decorative use of wood in an automobile has heard them all. And doesn't care. Wood is a magnificent structural material, "God's own composite," proclaimed the late Frank Costin, the brilliant technologist behind the glorious shapes of early Lotus cars, the Vanwall Formula 1 car, and-significantly-the plywood chassis of the Marcos in which a young Jim Clark won some of his first races.

2009 Ford F150 - Ford Pickup Truck Review - Automobile Magazine
If you're a die-hard fan of Ford pickups, the 2009 F-150 is everything you'd expect, but the bottom line is that it isn't that much different from the 2008 model.

Romeo, Michigan
The Ford F-series is one of the most important nameplates in the automotive universe, and we all know why: for most of the past three decades, the F-series has been in the number-one spot on the U.S. sales charts. If you thought that Ford would veer from its proven formula for the 2009 F-150, think again. After all, it was designed and engineered long before last summer's gas-price-induced market meltdown.
