The Ford Sierra RS Cosworth is best described as... Porsche-great. This week we're doing a deep dive into Ford's funky sedan of the 1980s: the Sierra, together with its American identical cousin, the Merkur XR4Ti. In the early 1980s, Ford of Europe (and chairman Bob Lutz) was on a mission to get a piece of the export pie that was dominated by Mercedes, BMW, and Audi. The car they conjured up to do so, the Sierra, was a massive success in Europe. When it eventually made it to the U.S., badged as a Merkur XR4Ti, Lutz's plan to sell the cars to yuppies via independent niche dealers was foiled, and the car was placed on Lincoln-Mercury dealer lots alongside big American barges and clueless salesmen, only to die a slow death. Meanwhile, on the other side of the pond, the extra-spicy Ford Sierra RS Cosworth was born. In fact, the car was so sought-after (i.e. stolen) by British hooligans that insurance companies refused to cover them. And it was so fast it was repeatedly banned from racing, eventually effectively spelling the end for Group A racing. Ford of Europe (headed up by Bob Lutz) was seeing the likes of BMW and Audi making a killing with their U.S. exports and Ford wanted in. The plan was to try something different, and rather than a Ford-branded import program where Sierras would be sold alongside LTDs, Cougars and other giant American sedans, Bob wanted to do a Ford of Europe export scheme where their new car could be sold alongside other European curios like Saabs and Volvos at independent dealers under a new brand name. They settled on Merkur (the German word for mercury – pronounced “maercoor”), but they also needed a new model name as Sierra was trademarked by Oldsmobile (think: Cutlass Ciera.) Ford used the “XR” prefix to denote a variety of upgraded model trims followed by a number which corresponded to the vehicle size – which is where XR4 comes from. Add abbreviations for “turbo” and “injection” and you're off to the races! Both the Merkur and Sierra RS Cosworth were powered by versions of Ford's Pinto 4-cylinder motor. The Merkur engine could also be found in the USDM Mercury Cougar XR7, Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, and Mustang SVO. Across the pond however, the Sierra engine went to Cosworth to get an aluminum head with an extra cam. The results were clear: the XR4Ti's motor needed 13 lbs of boost to pump out 175 hp, while the Cosworth version only needed 8 psi to make 200 hp. But the Cosworth got a whole host of additional modifications beyond the engine, and the resulting package was so exceptional it wound up getting banned from racing repeatedly, until eventually the regs shut down the entire series. The chassis is so exceptional that Jason proclaims it the best sedan chassis he's ever experienced – on the same level as a Porsche Cayman GT4. Transcendent. A 9.9/10. Where "Beatrice," his extensively modified E30, only managed a mid-8 (for the same reasons that caused Sreten at M539 Restoration to drive his into a tree). The likes of the Lotus Carlton didn't even garner a 5 from either Carmudgeon. Honorable mentions go to the Maserati Quattroporte, C126 560SEC, and a handful of M products. We'll even dive into every generation of M5 – E28 through G90. Lastly, we'll learn about 80s and 90s Lexus dealership brutalism, that “light” means window, our friend Mike's transient collection of eclectic cars has graced the show at least 3 times (thanks, Mike!), superbly compliant AWD cars like the Delta Integrale and Subaru WRX are good but rarely fun, and Bob Lutz had to fight tooth and nail to get a Chevrolet dealership in NorCal to sell him a Corvair Monza.

A woman murdered, a blue Continental vanishing into the night, and a private eye haunted by a rumored ghost that won't rest until justice is served.THE TRUE CRIME CASE THIS STORY IS BASED ON: On the evening of June 17, 2000, a 9-1-1 call came into the Wake County Sheriff's Office from Ray's Grocery on White Oak Road in Garner, North Carolina. A woman, 37-year-old Colleen Blackburn, had been shot in what appeared to be a botched robbery. By the time help arrived, she was already gone — a fatal gunshot wound to her shoulder blade ending her life in the parking lot of the small, rural convenience store where she worked. Colleen lived a quiet, hardworking life. She held down three jobs, had just earned a medical transcriptionist degree from Wake Technical College, and was trying to build a better future for herself after losing her mother to a chronic illness. She loved country music and occasionally attended square dances — a friendly, familiar face in her community. Despite the initial witness describing a light-blue mid-1980s Oldsmobile with part of its rear bumper missing fleeing east toward Clayton, the investigation quickly ran cold. Ray's Grocery had no surveillance cameras, and the vague vehicle description led nowhere. Investigators believed someone in the area might have seen something without realizing its importance, but no one ever came forward. More than two decades have passed since that night, and Colleen's killer — or killers — remain unknown. The fifty dollars stolen is long gone, but the injustice lingers. Aside from her friends and surviving family, the world seems to have forgotten Colleen Blackburn. But her story, like too many others, still deserves answers. If you know someone who may have committed this killing, contact the Wake County sheriff's office at 919-768-5100.SOURCES…Kidnapping, Murder, and Mayhem: https://tinyurl.com/47xw76j9Music provided by Alibi Music LibraryVideo version created by https://www.fiverr.com/vane875= = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Jill and Tom open the show covering a few news stories. First, Toyota is claiming it will have a solid-state EV battery in a production vehicle around 2030. Could be big news in regard to EV price and range. Listen in for details. The hosts went on to discuss Mercedes-Benz's new turquoise marker- and tail lights. Why are they doing this? Listen in. Still in the first segment, Jill shared details of a story she wrote about how the similar-size Toyota 4Runner and Land Cruiser crossovers differ. Clue: One is more family friendly than the other. In the second segment, Jill and Tom welcome Sam Fiorani of AutoForecast Solutions to the show. Sam walked the hosts through the headwinds faced by the auto industry as a result of the current administration's tariff plans. Sam also discussed Tesla's plant capacity situation, which may be most acute in Europe, where the company recently opened a new manufacturing facility. In the last segment, Jill is tormented by Tom's “Pontiac or Oldsmobile?” quiz, and the hosts talk a little about Polestar, a new EV brand with Volvo roots.

El Garaje Hermético de Máximo Sant

Casi ningún dictador se ha resistido al atractivo de un buen coche. De alguna manera es una forma de exponer y expresar su poder. Vamos a hacer un repaso a los coches de unos cuantos dictadores muy conocidos y, como siempre en Garaje Hermético, habrá sorpresas y curiosidades. El Bonus Track… te va a sorprender. Antes un par de aclaraciones: No voy a hablar de colecciones privadas ni cosas así, sino de los coches que usaban en eventos públicos. Y como los coches son lo importante, en este listado primero van los coches y luego, el personaje. Aurus Senat. Kim Jong-Un. Esta limusina Aurus Senat de fabricación rusa fue regalo de Vladimir Putin, y el mismo utilizado una igual como coche presidencial. El líder norcoreano acude a todos los actos públicos con este modelo, ya que sus diseñadores aseguran que “podrás sentirte tan seguro en un vehículo militar blindado”. Chevrolet Bel Air 1957. Rafael Leónidas Trujillo. En realidad, el coche de Trujillo no fue un Chevrolet, sino un Packard pintado de rojo llamado por los habitantes de la República Dominicana, “El carro de la muerte”. Trujillo era muy aficionado a los coches y tenía una buena colección, incluidos coches americanos y algún Ferrari. ¿Por qué hemos elegido este? Porque fue el coche en el que un confiado Trujillo sufrió un atentado desde una motocicleta, desde la que dispararon más de 60 balas… HongQi CA770. Mao Tse Tung. A pesar de que Stalin le regalo uno de los exclusivos SIZ soviéticos, Mao quiso que se le viese en un coche chino, el HongQi, en castellano “bandera roja” CA770. ¿Fabricado en China?, pues sí, pero era una copia, en realidad otra copia, del Chrysler Imperial con motor V8 de 215 CV. Lancia Astura “Presidenziale”. Benito Mussolini. El líder italiano conto con un Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 B Lungo Torpedo B y un Lancia Astura azul, diseñado por Sergio Pininfarina en exclusiva para el “Duce", que fue el más usado, aunque Mussolini prefería el Alfa. El Lancia contaba con un motor V8 de 3 litros de cilindrada y 82 CV a 4.000 revoluciones y el exclusivo interior estaba revestido de cuero azul. Como curiosidad, este coche ha estado en la colección privada de Bernie Ecclestone. Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman. Pol Pot. Nada impidió a este personaje disfrutar del lujo de un buen coche capitalista. Nada menos que una limusina Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman de 1973, un coche extraordinario y que fue la limusina preferida por muchos jefes de estado durante dos décadas. Solo se fabricaron 428 con motor V8 de 6.23 litros y 250 CV, su peso superaba las 2,5 toneladas y superaba los 200 km/h de velocidad máxima. Mercedes-Benz 770. Adolf Hitler. O como algunos lo llamaban, el Großer Mercedes (en alemán "Gran Mercedes"). Por supuesto hablamos del coche de Hitler, aunque tanto el español Francisco Franco como el italiano Benito Mussolini tuvieron uno por regalo del propio Hitler. El coche contaba con un motor de 8 cilindros en línea casi 8 litros y 150 CV. Con el blindaje el peso alcanzaba los 5.420 kilos totales y el consumo nada menos que 50 litros a los 100 km. Rolls-Royce Phantom IV. Francisco Franco. Se supone que el “Caudillo”, como él mismo se autoproclamó, era hombre bastante austero en su vida privada. Pese a ello y a que tampoco tenía carné de conducir, contó con un garaje espectacular con coches como un Cadillac Fleetwood, un Chrysler Imperial o el super exclusivo Mercedes 770 regalo de Hitler. Pero… su favorito fue siempre el Rolls Royce Phantom IV del que solo se fabricaron 18 unidades entre 1959 y 1956, estas fueron vendidas únicamente a miembros de la realeza y jefes de Estado. España adquirió tres unidades, que se conservan en el parque móvil de la Casa Real y son las mismas que ahora emplea el Rey Felipe VI en sus desplazamientos oficiales. Cuentan con matrículas militares: ET-42926-O, ET-42927-O y ET-42928-O. El motor es un 8 cilindros en línea de 5.675 cm3 y algo menos de 200 CV. Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII. Teodoro Obiang. Os hablo de la nación africana que fuese una colonia española, Guinea Ecuatorial, antes llamada Guinea Española. Ahora es un régimen dictatorial mandado desde 1982 por Teodoro Obiang, que cuenta como coche de estado con un impresionante Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII. ZIS 115. Lósif Stalin. Stalin, que había usado coches occidentales decidió hacer uno “Made in Rusia” pero a medida. Así que encargó a la SIZ rusa que se inspirase… por no decir que copiase un Packard Custom Super Eight. El coche fue entregado en 1949 y este 115 era un verdadero carro blindado, de 5 toneladas, capaz de soportar el impacto de cualquier tipo de proyectil y con motor de 8 cilindros, 6 litros y 162 CV. La velocidad máxima, debido al peso, apenas era de 120 km/h. Se construyeron varias unidades, porque Stalin era un paranoico respecto a su seguridad personal y nunca viajaba dos días seguidos en el mismo coche. ZIL 115. Fidel Castro. El revolucionario cubano tuvo diferentes coches: Un viejo Oldsmobile, incluso un Alfa Romeo, un Mercedes-Benz “Adenauer” que le encantó, motivo por el cual compró un Mercedes 560 SEL para desplazamientos particulares. Cuando Fidel se, digamos, “asoció” al régimen comunista de la extinta URSS, rápidamente cambió a un ZIL 115 soviético regalo del Kremlin. Castro llegó a tener tres ZIL115 completamente blindados, coche de 6 metros de largo y 2 de ancho, motor V-8 de 7.6 litros y que, debido a su blindaje, alcanzaban las 3.6 toneladas de peso. Bonus Track: Renault 5 GTL. Thomas Sankara. Rodrigo: “¿No te habrás equivocado?”. Pues no… y todo tiene explicación. Los habitantes de Burkina Faso, antes llamada Alto Volta, utilizan la palabra “Wabenzi” para referirse a los políticos corruptos que utilizan coches de la marca Mercedes-Benz… y es que “Wabenzi” significa literalmente “gente de Benz”, en referencia al coche. Sankara tomó el poder en 1983 en Burkina Faso y para demostrar que él no era un “Wabenzi” se deshizo de todos los Mercedes-Benz y convirtió a su modesto y abollado Renault 5 verde en el coche presidencial. El 15 de octubre de 1987 Sankara fue derrocado y más tarde asesinado. Conclusión. Ya la hemos dicho al comenzar: Los coches son para todos los gobernantes, y sobre todo para los dictadores, un verdadero escaparate… para bien y para mal. Os advierto que me he dejado unos cuantos en el tintero…

Stuffing a big engine into a small car has been a formula for success throughout the history of the automobile. Oldsmobile stuffed its new overhead-valve V8 into its 88. Later, Pontiac stuffed 389 cubic inches worth of V8 into a Tempest. While this trend never really went away, it did change – turbocharged, smaller displacement engines squeeze more oomph out of smaller displacements. That said, Lexus looked at its parts catalog, saw the 5.0-liter V8 was available, and stuffed it into the small IS sedan. Of course, there was more to the mating of this 5.0-liter V8 and this small sedan, but it does follow the same formula as some of the most beloved muscle machines of yore. This '24 Lexus IS 500 sends 472 hp and 395 lb-ft of torque through an eight-speed automatic transmission. From there, power shuffles to the IS 500's rear axle, only.  On this episode of Quick Spin, host Wesley Wren hops behind the wheel of the 2024 Lexus IS 500 and puts it through its paces. Wren takes you on a guided tour of the '24 IS 500 and highlights some of his favorite features. Later in the show, Wren takes you along for a live drive review. Adding to these segments, Wren chats with Autoweek's Patrick Carone about the Lexus IS, this V8-powered version, and how it compares to the competitive set. Closing the show, the pair breaks down what makes this 2024 Lexus Is 500 special.

10 marcas de coches desaparecidas que echamos de menos

Por suerte o por desgracia muchas marcas de coches han desaparecido… pero no vamos a hablar de marcas desaparecidas, sino de aquellas que han desaparecido… y echamos de menos. Algunas de ellas, mucho. Aquellas que hacían coche con personalidad y con alma y no “electrodomésticos”. Digo que no suelo pecar de nostálgico.. pero hoy, puede que sea la excepción al hablar de estas marcas, algunas de las cuales, se echan de menos… a ver que pensáis vosotros. 1. Austin (1905-1952) Nada menos que la marca que fabricó el Mini. Algún listillo me dirá, “¿cómo que desapareció en 1952? Esta marca la compró la empresa china Nanjing Automobile al grupo MG Rover Group y luego la vendió a SAIC Motor, otra empresa china, que sí usa el nombre de MG… como dice un buen amigo mío, que “ha mancillado” el nombre de MG para utilizarlo en SUV eléctricos chinos… ¡no lo digo yo, lo dice mi amigo! Solo soy el mensajero. 2. Autobianchi (1955-1995) Fue creada para Edoardo Bianchi, quien hizo una empresa de coches con el mismo nombre. Terminada la Segunda Guerra Mundial llegó a un acuerdo con Pirelli y con Fiat y fundo la marca Autobianchi que fabricó coches muy interesantes, siempre pretendiendo, y consiguiendo, estar un paso por encima de los modelos equivalentes de Fiat. 3. DAF (1928-1975) Pocos se acuerdan de que en Holanda o lo Países Bajos o como queráis llamarla, se fabricaron coches muy interesantes bajo la marca DAF, que significa en neerlandés Van Doorne´s Aanhangwagen Fabriek… ¿queda claro? Aún existe, pero como fabricante de camiones. 4. NSU (1873-1977) Una marca por la que tengo enorme simpatía y cuyos coches siempre me gustaron… y que cayó en manos de VW que la hizo desaparecer. Según mis pesquisas NSU no es acrónimo de nada, sino la abreviatura de la ciudad de Neckarsulm. 5. Oldsmobile (1885-2004) Otra marca de esta lista que echo de menos. Una marca que para ser americana era muy avanzada para su tiempo. Fue pionera en el uso de airbags, elemento de seguridad en el que se adelantó a Mercedes, fue una de las primeras en usar turbo y de las pocas marcas de los USA que ya en los años 60 usaba tracción delantera, como en el caso del precioso Toronado, uno de mis coches americanos favoritos. 6. Pontiac (1926-2010) Me gusta de esta marca que su nombre proviene de un jefe de una tribu india llamado Pontiac que se reveló contra los británicos en la zona de Detroit. Como curiosidad, antes de 1926 hubo otra marca que usó este nombre, pero desapareció rápidamente. 7. Saab (1937-2011) ¡Cuánto me gustaban los Saab! Su nombre significa en español Sociedad Anónima de Aeroplanos Suecos. Y es que hemos hablado de marcas de coches que comenzaron haciendo bicicletas y motor, pero Saab era una fábrica de aviones que hizo coches… con personalidad y con “impronta” muy aérea. 8. Tatra (1850-1999) Tatra sigue existiendo como marca haciendo excelentes camiones, pero abandonó la fabricación de turismos en 1999… una verdadera lástima. Porque los Tatra, todos, tenían tres virtudes: Estaban hechos con una gran calidad; eran de una estética sino bonita, sorprendente; y tenían mucha personalidad. 9. Trabant (1960-1991) Voy a confesar que en este caso he hecho un poco de trampa, porque el fabricante de los Trabant era la empresa HQM Sachsenring GmbH. Pero la realidad es que Trabant acabó siendo percibida como la marca de coches de la Alemania del Este. 10. Triumph (1885-1984) Otra marca que comenzó por las motos… y como fabricante de motos aún existe. Pero la original Triumph vendió su sección de motos a otra marca británica de motos, Ariel para centrarse en los coches. E hizo coches increíbles. Hay muchos, pero la saga de roadster TR que comienza con el TR2, no con el 1 y que acaba con el TR7 es espectacular. Sin olvidarnos de todos los Dolomite, nombre usado por la marca en coches descapotables y en berlinas. EL más recordado de todos el Triumph Dolomite Sprint de 1973 con culata de 16 válvulas. Conclusión. Sé que no soy objetivo. No puedo serlo. Pero, ¿no pensáis como yo que estas marcas y su historia son un verdadero patrimonio que no habría que dejar caer en el olvido? Creo que los europeos no lo estamos haciendo bien y que las consecuencias las van a sufrir nuestros hijos y nietos… Si lo vemos con perspectiva el desplome de la industria del motor europea ha comenzado hace ya mucho y lejos de pararse, parece que se acelera. No me gusta ser ni pesimista ni polémico, pero, ¿no pensáis lo mismo?

But first, James takes us down memory lane with stories of his first few cars including a two-tone blue 1977 Caprice Classic gifted from his grandfather, a vehicle full of character and quirks. You'll hear about its uncanny resemblance to an undercover police car which benefitted James more than once, the persistent stalling issues, and the adventure of installing a Pioneer stereo system. Passing the 1977 Caprice to his brother enabled James to purchase his next car, a "new to him" gold with vinyl top 1985 Oldsmobile Toronado Caliente, considered quite the luxury car in its day. His next car was near and dear to his heart, a "John Deere green" 1976 Triumph Spitfire, enabling him to be part of a car club and relying more on his mechanical skills - likely an early catalyst for his current line of work.Today, James splits his daily driving between a white 1999 Porsche 911 cabriolet and a 2017 white Honda CRV to ferry him to/from his auto restoration shop where he shares his passion as he delves deep into some of the intricacies of classic car restoration.

Did you hear the one about the three sons of a preacher who one day decided to start a rock band with their cousin and somehow sell millions of albums, win some Grammys and have one of the biggest crossover rock songs in recent memory? No? Well, great! Because I'm here to tell you all about how Kings Of Leon did just that. Nathan, Caleb and Jared Followill were three good old southern boys from a small suburb about 17 miles east of Nashville, Tennessee. Their parents were Ivan, a Pentecostal church preacher and traveling evangelist, and Betty-Ann, who ran the church worship. At first the Followills traveled across the rural South in a purple Oldsmobile, attending all-night church meetings, tent revivals and healings. The family would be on the road for the better part of the year, making it hard for them to call any place home. But when Jared was born in 1986 they settled down just outside of Memphis until he was about six, and then went back on the road after Ivan began drinking and got into some trouble.  The boys were home-schooled by their mom and given strict rules that prevented them from swimming with girls, playing competitive sports and even wearing shorts, which made water activities pretty awkward. Movies were also prohibited, the same with music other than what they heard in church. But church music was becoming a bigger part of their lives. Nathan would begin drumming on stage with a band during his father's sermons, and Caleb followed as a singer, with hopes of becoming a pastor like his father. The relationship between their parents, however, was heavily strained due to Ivan's heavy drinking, and in 1997 they split up, following his departure from the church. That seemed to change everything for their three sons. With their parents apart, the Followill brothers began to stray from their religious upbringing. Nathan and Caleb got into rock'n'roll, alcohol and weed, while Jared became a “little sh*t” with a BB gun, his brothers would tell Rolling Stone. Their cousin Matthew Followill, who lived in nearby Mississippi, was basically welcomed into the fold as an unofficial fourth brother. Believe it or not, but Nathan and Caleb Followill were originally a country-singing duo called the Followill Brothers. They performed at open-mic nights and signed a publishing deal that helped support their weed-smoking habit. The guy that signed them, Ken Levitan, introduced the brothers to a  songwriter named Angelo Petraglia, and almost immediately he became an intrinsic part of their world, tutoring them on how to write a song. With some guidance from the younger ears of Jared and Matthew, Nathan and Caleb pivoted to rock'n'roll, writing a song called “California Waiting,” which secured them a record deal with RCA, the same label as the Strokes. There was one catch: the label wanted to put a band together for them. In a risky act of defiance, the Followills rejected the offer and instead they told the execs they would bring in their young brother and cousin and put together their own band. They told RCA to give them six weeks to put something together. And so in 1999 the two brothers recruited their younger sibling Jared, who was only 14 at the time, to play bass, an instrument he had never ever touched. At first he wasn't happy with the instrument assignment, thinking bass was too uncool, but he decided to give it a shot. They also kidnapped their cousin Matthew from Mississippi, telling his mom that they'd bring him back after a week. Matthew had only taken two guitar lessons, and they had to buy him a guitar but just like they became a proper rock band. And for the next month, the Followills locked themselves in a basement, smoked a lot of weed and came up with some songs. Of course, they still needed a name. Petraglia suggested going with one that leaned into their religious connections, like Kings Of Zion. While they turned that idea down they did come up with something close: Kings Of Leon. This is the story of Kings of Leon leading up to their all-time classic 'Use Somebody' with newly unearthed audio from the band themselves!

Episode 94 Brianna Maitland 17 year old Brianna Maitland vanished without a trace on Friday night March 19, 2004 after she left her shift at the Black Lantern Inn in Montgomery, Vermont. Her co-workers watched her drive off in her Green 1985 Oldsmobile at around 11:20PM. They had asked her to hang out and share a meal, but she was tired and had to work her second job early the next morning. In the hours after Brianna laft work, her car was spotted by multiple witnesses backed into the wall of  a barn house about a mile from the Black Lantern Inn. One of the witnesses was a young man who had dated Brianna. He claimed that he found her car abandoned against the barn home with its doors open and headlights on, but there was no sign of Brianna, so he turned off her lights and shut the doors before leaving. Another witness, a police officer, discovered the car and when he saw Brianna's uncashed paychecks inside from the Black Lantern Inn, he headed there to try and figure out what was going on, but by the time he arrived, they were closed. Rather than report the incident, he left for a long weekend get away, setting into motion a set of cicumstances that caused a delay in anyone even realizing Brianna was missing. Hours after the police officer had come upon the scene, a group of travelers spotted the odd scene of the car backed into the barn. It was so odd, they stopped to take photos and investigate the scene. A broken necklace and some of Brianna's belongings were found inside and outside of the car. The car was towed, and 2 days would pass before anyone realized Brianna was missing.  Officially, Brianna was never seen again, although there were reported sightings of her in other states thought to be cases of mistaken identity. Brianna's parents, Bruce and Kellie Maitland, were left to wonder what happened to their daughter. Along the way, they had to hear all kinds of rumors about Brianna, and what may have happened to her and who may be responsible. Brianna's case was thought by some to possibly be linked to the disapperance of Maura Murray, another high profile missing persons case in New England. Maura vanished from New Hampshire a month before Brianna, and as in Brianna's case, her car and odd clues were left behind.  The Maitlands found a friend, advocate, and ally in Private Investigator Greg Overacker who has worked doggedly on Brianna's case for years. In this episode, he discusses the case, and tried to sort out fact from fiction. He also discusses the book he wrote on Brianna's case. When Brianna Maitland vanished, she was described as White, with Brown haid and Hazel eyes. She stood about 5ft5 and weight around 116 pounds. If you have any information about Brianna's case, call the FBI tip line at 800-CALLFBI or call the Vermont State Police at 844-84-VTIPS.

Este vídeo no habla de marcas desaparecidas. Peor aún, trata de marcas desaparecidas y olvidadas. Todavía peor: De marcas desaparecidas e injustamente olvidadas. Iba a ser un listado de 10, que creció a 12+1, luego a 15 y ha acabado en 20… y todas, imprescindibles. Aunque sé que a Rodrigo estos listados tan largos no le gustan.. Pero es que, de verdad, no he podido prescindir de ninguna. Y os pido vuestra ayuda: ¿De cuál o cuáles de estas marcas queréis que hagamos un video? Todas valen la pena, pero algunas quizás más que otras. Lo dejo en vuestras manos y abrimos una encuesta. Y ya sin más dilación, ¡que son muchas!, comenzamos con estas 20 marcas por orden alfabético. 1. AC. Aparecida en 1901 y desaparecida en 2008. 2. Auto Avio. Aparecida en 1939 y desaparecida en 1957. 3. Bristol. Aparecida en 1945 y desaparecida muy recientemente, en 2020. 4. Clément-Bayard. Aparecida en 1903 y desaparecida en 1922. 5. Cord. Aparecida el día de los inocentes, el 28 de diciembre de 1929, y desaparecida en 1937. 6. Checker. Aparecida en 1921 y desaparecida en 2010 está marca está olvidada en Europa, pero no en los USA. 7. Daewoo. Aparecida en 1967 y desaparecida en el 2000. 8. De Dion-Bouton. Aparecida en 1883 y desaparecida en 1932. 9. Delage. Aparecida en 1905 y desaparecida en 1953, aunque hubo un intento de resucitarla muy recientemente. 10. Delahaye. Aparecida en 1894 y desaparecida en 1954, tengo debilidad por esta marca francesa.. 11. Jensen. Aparecida en 1934 decir cuando desapareció no es tan fácil, pues el cese comercial llegó en 1976, volvió a reaparecer en 1998 y volvió a desaparecer en 2011. 12. Marcos. Aparecida en 1959 y desaparecida en 2007, también tengo debilidad por esta marca británica que se llama igual que mi sobrino.. 12+1. Oldsmobile. Aparecida en 1885 y desaparecida en 2004… ¡qué pena! 14. Osca. Aparecida en 1947 y desaparecida en 1967, esta marca italiana estaba especializada en coche muy deportivos y de competición. 15. Panhard. Aparecida en 1891 y desaparecida en 1965, esta marca francesa, sobre todo al final de sus días, ofreció coches muy originales… 16. Studebaker. Aparecida en 1852 y desaparecida en 1967, esta marca tiene antepasados alemanes. 17. Stutz. Aparecida en 1911 desapareció definitivamente en 1995. 18. Talbot-Lago. Aparecida en 1935 y desaparecida en 1960. 19. Tucker. Apareció en 1947 y desapareció en 1948… ¡sólo un año! 20. Xedos. Aparecida en 1993 y desaparecida en el 2000. Conclusión. Os dije al comenzar que este vídeo os iba a encantar y espero no haberos decepcionado. Es cierto que no hemos contado mucho de cada marca pero… ¡para eso os doy la oportunidad de votar vuestras favoritas! Los votos que contengan “Explicación de voto”, o sea, el por qué, tendrán más valor. Para mí y para todos nosotros debe ser una oportunidad de rescatar del olvido a algunas de estas marcas porque creedme: No se lo merecen. Coche del día. Me encanta el último Panhard, el 24, con motor dos cilindros opuestos de solo 848 cm3 y 50 CV, no tan pocos si consideramos que el coche pesaba en torno a los 800 kg. Si lo ves sin el anagrama de la marca puedes pensar que es un Citroën.

Broadcasts – Christian Working Woman

Presented by Lisa Bishop As we get started in talking about grace, I want to take you back to a hot summer day in the mid-80's as I was entering my mid-teen years. I still get flashbacks from my spiral permed hair that blew away all height restrictions with the backcombing and amount of Aqua Net hairspray I used, but I digress. On this particular summer day, I was in the driveway of my childhood home, excited to wash my dad's 1979 Oldsmobile. Now I know that may sound weird, actually enjoying washing a car, but for a little bit of backstory, my dad loved cars. Growing up, I would see him take meticulous care of them by washing and waxing them on a pretty regular basis. A clean car made my dad really happy. So, I was eager to get out my bucket of soapy water and pull out the long green garden hose to make the boxy, brown, five-seater, top-of-the-line car shine. I didn't have my driver's license yet and had never driven, let alone been behind the wheel of a car. So, my dad pulled the car out of the garage and parked it in the driveway for me to wash while he did some gardening in the backyard. There I was, lathering up my dad's Oldsmobile, rinsing it off, and using old bath towels to dry it until it glimmered. I was so proud and even happier to know this was something that would mean a lot to my dad. To impress my dad a bit more, I thought it would be cool if I not only washed the car, but I parked it all by myself in the garage. Now mind you, on the other side of the garage was my dad's prized possession, a 1969 Firebird convertible. Gold, with a white top, in mint condition, and perfectly polished. You can see where this story is heading. I got behind the wheel of this brown boat of a car, aiming to park it in the garage when instead, I nervously drove it into the left side of the garage door. In a panic, my foot hit the gas, and I swerved to the right. I had managed not only to dent the right side of the car, but also to side swipe my dad's precious convertible. I know you are probably wondering, “What were you thinking?” Well evidently, I was not thinking clearly. At that point, I was completely freaked out and scared to death to tell my dad what had happened. I was worried he would be really mad at me. In my hysteria, I found my mom. When—in the midst of hyperventilating—I told her what had happened, she said, “Don't worry! Everything will be just fine.” And we proceeded to walk to the backyard together to tell my dad. When I told him what happened I will never forget what he said. “I love you, Lisa. It's just a car. We can get it fixed. You are more important to me than a car.” In that moment I expected to get what I deserved—a tongue lashing for my carelessness and a life sentence to my bedroom. But that's not what I received at all. Instead, I was the recipient of something powerful. The powerful and impactful gift of grace. The grace my dad extended to me that day did something to my mind and heart that forever left an impression. It taught me, amongst many things, to value people over possessions. My dad's selfless act was based on his character. He saw how fearful and upset I was, and he chose to respond with mercy and kindness rather than erupt and be rash with his words. When he could have punished me, instead he lavished me with love. The concept of grace can be hard to grasp but it was made tangible on that hot summer day in 1984. Ephesians 1:3-8 tells us about the grace that has been given to us in Christ. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood,

Why did Jacob Wideman murder Eric Kane? In 1986, the two 16-year-olds were rooming together on a summer camp trip to the Grand Canyon when Jacob fatally — and inexplicably — stabbed Eric. That night, Jacob went on the run, absconding with the camp's rented Oldsmobile and thousands of dollars in traveler's checks. Before long, he turned himself in and eventually confessed to the killing — although he couldn't explain what drove him to do it. It would take years of therapy and medical treatment behind bars before Jacob could begin to understand what was going through his mind that night. It would take even longer to try to explain it to his family, to his victim's family and to parole board members, who would decide whether he deserved to be free ever again. This debut episode of “Violation,” a podcast from WBUR and The Marshall Project, introduces the story of the crime that has bound two families together for decades. Jacob's father, John Edgar Wideman, is an acclaimed author of many books on race, violence and criminal justice. He spoke with Violation host Beth Schwartzapfel in a rare, in-depth interview about his son's case that listeners will hear throughout the series, including this premiere.

Why did Jacob Wideman murder Eric Kane? In 1986, the two 16-year-olds were rooming together on a summer camp trip to the Grand Canyon when Jacob fatally — and inexplicably — stabbed Eric. That night, Jacob went on the run, absconding with the camp's rented Oldsmobile and thousands of dollars in traveler's checks. Before long, he turned himself in and eventually confessed to the killing — although he couldn't explain what drove him to do it. It would take years of therapy and medical treatment behind bars before Jacob could begin to understand what was going through his mind that night. It would take even longer to try to explain it to his family, to his victim's family and to parole board members, who would decide whether he deserved to be free ever again. This debut episode of “Violation,” a podcast from WBUR and The Marshall Project, introduces the story of the crime that has bound two families together for decades. Jacob's father, John Edgar Wideman, is an acclaimed author of many books on race, violence and criminal justice. He spoke with Violation host Beth Schwartzapfel in a rare, in-depth interview about his son's case that listeners will hear throughout the series, including this premiere.
