#Ford Courtesy Vehicles

[seat-safety-switch]

Couple folks down at the end of the street have gotten themselves a Ford Ranger. Not the new bloaty European one, with its ridiculous features like “doors that stay closed” and “fuel economy,” but a good, old-fashioned beater Ranger. Naturally, I want it more than my next breath of air.

Even though it has one of those wheezy V6s and is an automatic, rather than my beloved zingy four-banger-plus-five-speed combination, I find myself driving slowly past it. I entertain fantasies about using it to go to the dump, to uncover my back yard full of trash (Mopar, organic, otherwise.) In that glorious alternate future, I would then haul home lumber and tools with which to begin to construct a deck on which to grill. The neighbours would witness my truck, and know that it is the vehicle of someone who Does Something with their house. That would be pretty rad, I tell myself, before snapping out of it.

Upon further inspection, I realize that the owners are what they call “legacy” Ranger owners, having purchased the vehicle many years ago when it was a mere couple-hundred-bucks beater, rather than a priceless collectible that must be clearing the block at Barrett-Jackson soon for the approximate value of a house. You can tell this by all the meth they are smoking in it. I begin to realize that perhaps they are not homeowners at all, but a small gang of scrap thieves. They, too, can tell that I can tell, and although scumbag courtesy would ordinarily cause us to ignore one another’s offences against civil society, I am a little jealous of the truck, and tap my brakes as if slowing down to call an Authority Figure.

There is a peel-out, then. Although I know that I can easily catch the Ranger and its anemic vee-six, I do not pursue. There is no reason to: the missing tailgate, and the steep incline of my street, allows their bed full of stolen metal scrap to tumble harmlessly onto the road. At this point, the laws of maritime salvage take over. This has become my pile of stolen metal scrap, and further, the illicit transfer-by-dump of these goods has blurred the pesky issue of ownership. Who is to say all these cut-off exhaust components are stolen, officer?

I spend the rest of the evening assembling them into an work of art. I call it “Ranger,” and from about thirty feet away, it sort of resembles a 1988 Ford Ranger XLT. I throw it into the pile of scrap in my backyard, so I can admire it from my kitchen every morning as I warm my coffee over a Steyr Maxi thumper. There is no reason to be jealous, I resolve, not when you can make your own truck.

1929 De Havilland DH60GM Gipsy Moth

One of the most famous models of aviation’s cradle era, the De Havilland Gipsy Moth occupies the same space in its category as the Model T Ford in automobiles—a dependably engineered, reliable vehicle, that brought its mode of transportation to more people than any other before it.

Hundreds of examples were built and were flown by several significant aviators of the era, including the noted British aviatrix Amy Johnson, who in 1930 became the first woman to fly solo from England to Australia in her Gipsy Moth, “Jason.”

Then-owner Cliff Lovell supplied this aircraft in early 1985 for the filming of Out of Africa, starring Meryl Streep and Robert Redford in the epic love story of the Danish countess Karen Blixen and British aviator Denys Finch-Hatton.

[transfemme-floofer]

I was dusting the house as normal, like I did every week when I saw a strange golden card note on the kitchen table labelled “for my first ancilla”

“Strange” I thought, Mistress Luci was not normally like this, sure she was affectionate at times, but that’s normal for humans to feel that way about their pets. Curious, I opened it, it said: “3pm, on the private beach, near the cove, dress your best”

The time came and I walked down the garden and down the cobbled steps onto the beach. I was dressed in Merrel sandals instead of the standard Imperial Serva heeled sandals, a pink and white pleated skirt given as a gift for good behaviour instead of my summer cherry skirt or my standard issue skirt , a Very Special Occasion (MEO-Mucha Especial Ocasión) scented wick away slave blouse instead of the standard version, and a Peugeot love heart shaped chain link Titanium alloy collar instead of the standard oval chain link medicollar

Mistress looked at me up and down like five times before saying a word. “You’re… beautiful” she finally said, clearly rendered speechless. I curtsy in front of her, “thank you Domina” i replied, remembering to use Latin as well as my native British “where are we going” she had no obligation to reply and so kept silent as we walked to the cove admiring the waves and the cool afternoon, until I could see it, her Amphibicar Fiat Chariot (think like an Italian Ford Crown Victoria or Opel Omega), those things had been around 2610 AUC (1867), but this was a 22nd generation rear mid engined 2766 (2012) Amphibian vehicle variant (itself in it’s 10th generation since 2680 (1947)) with a 5.5L Ferrari Turbo V8, modular and hydraulically adjustable bench seats front and rear, four wheel drive courtesy of Lancia and a luxurious 3-speed hydraulic automatic transmission (with three electro-locked overdrive gears tacked on in the 2760 refresh for fuel and performance, as well as to hide its age) yanked out of the Buick Sappho coupe “Mistress this is wonderful” I turned to see her and say thank you, but found her on one knee

“Julia, I have legally submitted a form for us to be married, so that you won’t have to worry about losing me, your first constant and comfort in a long time” she pulled out a finger print scanner, “all I need is your fingerprint”, I pressed down excitedly, then my tabula got a notification

“Married to Doctor Luciana Antonia Presenti MD, PhD”

And another, from Fiat Intelligencia Automobilli “Authorised Guest of Luciana Presenti’s Intelligent Control System on her 2766 Fiat Chariot”

Mistress added on, “use it wisely”

I oblige “Fiat, open doors-“

Mistress chides playfully “No slave, stupid slut, type it out in the app”

I open the app and find the command room, where I find Mistress had already done test runs, I type in, “open driver door and say “welcome Domina””. It does so flawlessly and without hesitation. Mistress blushed “thanks pet, really appreciate it” she found the 2730s Buick touchscreen still in there with updated visuals and apps, but the same size of the screen and the same working concept. She typed in, “open passenger left back door and give the back ambient red gel lights and put on brothel music”. It did so. “very funny mistress”

(Another case of part two when I feel like it)

Things I've Learned By Living in the South (from Florida to Texas)

1. Save all bacon grease.

You will be instructed later how to use it.

This is what they live for.

3. Remember: "Y'all" is singular.

"All y'all" is plural.

"All y'all's" is plural possessive.

4. Get used to the phrase "It's not the heat, it's the humidity".

And the collateral phrase "You call this hot?

Wait'll August."

5. Don't tell us how you did it up there.

Nobody cares.

6. If you think it's too hot, don't worry.

It'll cool down-in December.

7. A Mercedes-Benz is not a status symbol. A Jeep, Chevy, Dodge, or Ford is.

8. If someone says they're "fixin" to do something, that doesn't mean anything's broken.

9. The value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to the door, but the availability of shade.

MileApo in the Associated Press article on Dior's collection!! They were one of the few stars highlighted in the article.

In case you aren't familiar with how AP works, it's one of the oldest English press syndicates in the world. The stories are distributed to members, U.S. newspapers and broadcasters with the exact same text and content so dozens of press junkets run the same story with the same photos!!

What is fashion? On Dior Fall 2023's Gateway to India collection

I also wanted to take a moment to share some of the pieces from the show, which once Elle India shared them, I was like ...oh... this is actually a good collection. (Kim Jones needs to stop being allowed to dress MA)

First of all, some important context from the AP article:

Dior has had a long association with India through the Mumbai-based atelier Chanakya, which works with artisans and underprivileged women.

“I personally wanted to celebrate and showcase the incredible knowledge India offers to the international world of fashion in the field of embroidery, the mastery of the artisans who continue to work on this craft, and the commitment of Chanakya’s founders to preserving India’s history and culture, portrayed by each embroidery technique,” [Dior women's creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri] said in an Instagram post.

(courtesy of AP Photo/Rafiq Maqbool)

There's this brilliant post detailing one of the dresses, the Peacock Dress, from colonial Britain that had thousands of detailed sequins and embroidery made by expert dressmakers in India who were never given credit for their work. The style and couture expertise of these Indian dressmakers who were subjugated to colonialism was stolen and claimed as British culture.

recently [Cathy Hay] been more outspoken of the fact that British colonisation really enables these wealthy western Europeans to wear gowns that almost look impossibly beautiful, but rightful credit was of course never given to the people who made it [...] I always wonder about the craftsmen behind so much of history's most beautiful art. They're never named because the one who commissions the work, the patron, is usually given all the undue credit.

I think it's obvious I don't love (Kim Jones') Dior, but what collaborations like these do is elevate Indian fashion and couture expertise beyond the level of cultural fashion to high fashion, as something worth celebrating for its luxury and specific vision and a rightful label that was stolen from them by British colonialism.

And by using Indian models -- of a variety of skintones that reflect the diverse population of India -- and also naming and openly celebrating the atelier Chanakya and its dress makers, it gives an opportunity for Indian fashion and dressmakers to share their specific vision of fashion as ART with the world.

Is it still branded under Dior? Sure, but Dior is the vehicle that facilitates this publicity. It's so important that Chiuri highlighted Chanakya as a collaborator driving this collection with their vision. And it gives this atelier and other Indian designers an opportunity carve out names for themselves that might mean eventually their own brand is the highlight. Don't forget that Marc Jacobs led Louis Vuitton and Tom Ford led YSL and Gucci before their own brands became big enough.

This isn't a restorative justice, it doesn't right any wrongs, but a way to create opportunities for people who were always a driving force of fashion. It's economic opportunity. And it's art. So there is still a place for fashion in the world.

Check out the entire runway collection on HypeBeast here.

Now back to our regular MileApo programming.

Study: Cost of ‘fueling’ an electric vehicle is equivalent to $17.33 per gallon

By Kenneth Schrupp | The Center Square

(The Center Square) – The complete costs of "fueling" an electric vehicle for 10 years are $17.33 per equivalent gallon of gasoline, a new analysis from the Texas Public Policy Foundation says.

The study authors say the $1.21 cost-per-gallon equivalent of charging a car cited by EV advocates excludes the real costs born by taxpayers for subsidies, utility ratepayers for energy investments, and non-electric vehicle owners for mandate-and-environmental-credit-driven higher vehicle costs, which they say total $48,698 per EV. Those costs must be included when comparing fueling costs of EVs and traditional gas-powered vehicles, TPPF maintains.

“The market would be driving towards hybrids if not for this market manipulation from the federal government. We’d be reducing emissions and improving fuel economy at the same time on a much greater scale,” study author Jason Isaac told The Center Square in an interview. He then cited Toyota estimates that the batteries from one EV can power 90 hybrids and reduce emissions 37 times more than that one EV. 

The study adds up the costs of direct subsidies to buyers of the car and chargers; indirect subsidies in the form of avoided fuel taxes and fees, as well as electric grid generation, transmission, distribution, and overhead costs for utilities; and regulatory mandates that include fuel economy standards, EPA greenhouse gas credits, and zero-emission mandates.

The study also assumes EVs will be driven for 10 years and 120,000 miles, which the authors claim is a generous estimate. According to J.D. Power, EVs lose 2.3% of their range each year due to battery degradation, in part driving EVs to lose value faster than internal combustion cars.

With Ford losing an estimated $70,000 per EV and subsidies reaching $50,000 per EV, Isaac says the real cost of a vehicle such as a Ford Lightning is over $150,000, and those costs are carried by everyone, including non-EV owners and even Americans without cars. 

“The real cost of a Ford Lightning is closer to $172,00 and no one would buy them at that. I know their sales have tanked. The [electric] Silverado sold 18 electric trucks last quarter,” Isaac said. “Buying a car is more expensive today and people don’t understand why that is. I’m trying to help them understand if they buy a gas or diesel car they’re paying for an electric vehicle for a wealthy EV owner.” 

To reach the $17.73 per gallon equivalent figure, the authors created categories for costs borne by EV owners, taxpayers, utility ratepayers, and buyers of electric vehicles. For reference, the cost per gallon equivalent is computed by dividing the number of miles over a car’s ten year lifetime by the average new vehicle's fuel efficiency of 36 miles per gallon equivalent, and using that number to divide the total cost presented. 

EV owners only pay $1.21 for the cost of residential electricity and $1.38 for charging and metering costs per equivalent gallon, which makes charging still cheaper than gasoline in terms of costs paid by EV owners. However, taxpayers pay $2.72 per gallon in federal and state EV buyer tax credits and rebates ($8,984 over a vehicle lifetime), a cost of $0.40 per gallon ($1,318 over a vehicle lifetime) in avoided charging infrastructure costs split between taxpayers and utility ratepayers. Utility ratepayers then pay $3.18 per gallon ($10,515 over a vehicle lifetime) in increased costs to enable the grid to charge electric vehicles at mass scale through increased power generation, transmission and distribution. Lastly, buyers of non-electric vehicles face increased vehicle costs equating to $1.48 per gallon equivalent ($4,881 over a vehicle lifetime) due to requirements in many states that manufacturers sell a certain number of often money-losing EVs to continue selling other cars, $1.01 per gallon equivalent ($3,322 over a vehicle lifetime) due to EPA GHG emissions standards, while Corporate Average Fuel Economy Credits add a whopping $5.96 per gallon equivalent ($19,678 over a vehicle lifetime). 

CAFE standards are the single largest externalized cost of EVs, a cost that researchers attribute to the fact that automakers whose fleets do not meet the necessary average fuel economy must purchase credits from automakers with excess credits, with these credit markets worth billions of dollars per year and contributing $1.78 billion to Tesla’s bottom line in 2022. The average fuel economy of an average EV with a 300 mile range in 2021 was estimated to be 113 miles per gallon equivalent, making automakers strongly incentivized to build these often money-losing cars to meet CAFE goals. To increase the adoption of cars that don’t use diesel or gasoline, the federal government created a 667% multiplier in MPGe for vehicles that use alternative power. With a fleetwide CAFE standard of 37 MPG for 2021 and a 2021 EV rated at 113 MPGE, an EV is worth 507 MPG worth of credits, or more than what Ford loses directly on its EVs.

A Ford F-150 was recently brought in for an oil change. During the courtesy check, we saw that the end of the rack and pinion was broken, due to hitting a curb or pothole.

This piece can crack, causing water and dirt to get in.

When your vehicle is due for an oil change, it’s a good idea to bring it to a mechanic. They are able to notice if anything is unsafe.

FLASH REPORT: Unexpected Power Interruption collides below the NORECO II's post in Dumaguete City after overnight Car Crash [#OneNETnewsEXCLUSIVE] (updated as final!!!)

DUMAGUETE, NEGROS ORIENTAL -- Residents in Brgy. Taclobo have emerged overnight as a local power interruption hit Dumaguete City in Negros Oriental. Contributed photos obtained via The X Network (formerly Twitter) showed the aftermath of a car crash involving a Ford vehicle that collided with a wooden electric pole near BM Bread Box beside Kathy and Lloyd sari-sari store. The incident occurred at the 3-way junction of 338 Larena Drive, Purok Ladrico 2, Brgy. Taclobo, the said city and province. The crash caused significant damage, leaving the area in disarray.

(CONTRIBUTED PHOTO)

The unexpected power interruption was traced back to a local electrical company of Negros Oriental Electric Cooperative 2 (NORECO II), which reported an accidental crash at the Bagacay Substation, where it was linked from here in Brgy. Taclobo. According to the staff of NORECO II in Pulantubig substation, where it was interviewed exclusively by OneNETnews, the power outage occurred at 8:56am (Dumaguete local time).

(ADVISORY PHOTO COURTESY: NORECO II via The X Network)

The impact affected several portions of Feeder 5 in Bagacay Substation, disrupting the 3-phase line from Star Oil gasoline station in Brgy. Taclobo to Larena Drive, E.J. Blanco extension, Aberrise Country Villa, Habaña Subdivision, Alymae Building along Rovira Road, Fortune Homes and a portion of Brgy. Buñao from our hometown news room residence of Calimpong family in Capt. A. Cornelia Road to Buñao Road in Dumaguete City.

Dumaguete City Police Station (DCPS) identified the suspect behind the crash as one 22 y/o male named Ernel John D. Gonzaga, knownly as 'Nel Pilay', who was a local Dumagueteño gamer in Brgy. Daro and driving his car vehicle of Ford Territory - Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV). The preliminary investigation suggests that the suspect was driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or intoxicated during the incident.

We try to reached out to OneNETnews about his condition at the Allied Care Experts - Dumaguete Doctors (ACE-DD) via E-Mail correspondent, they have not heard back for a response. But Mr. Gonzaga was subsequently taken to the Negros Polymedic Hospital (NPH) in Purok Yakal, North National Highway, Tubtubon, Sibulan, the aforesaid province for a medical treatment.

(AMATEUR PHOTO COURTESY: Remnants Gaming via FB PHOTO)

He was suffering injuries in broken legs, as reported via Remnants Gaming. The authorities consider for charges related to drunk driving and ramming the collision with the NORECO II's electrical post.

Currently, investigators at the DCPS are diligently working on the case, and pending charges are expected sooner later this year. The incident, occurring just before or after the New Year’s Eve celebration in the early first week of 2024, raises concerns about road safety during this festive period. Local electrical teams from NORECO II are actively working on an emergency pole replacement and repair of the 3-phase line. The collision, which took place around 2am, necessitated swift action to ensure the timely restoration of power. NORECO II assures the public that efforts are underway to address the immediate situation promptly.

(PHOTO COURTESY: Roy August Bustillo via Headz Up! NegOr News)

Power restoration is expected to begin at 1pm onwards in Brgy. Pulantubig, with subsequent areas like Brgy. Motong and Buñao resuming at 3pm or 4pm. NORECO II publicly apologizes for any inconvenience caused and emphasizes their commitment to resolving the issue efficiently.

As the investigation unfolds in the worst Brownout City of Gentle People, the community awaits updates on the charges against the suspect and the completion of repairs to the affected electrical infrastructure.

Is it safe to drive in Dubai?

 Intercity highways in the UAE have overlooked speed bumps, shifting sands and sometimes, camels. Find out how to not collide with a camel (or another driver) with our tips on safe driving in the UAE. If you plan on driving in the desert, camels become a bigger problem in desert areas. You must make sure that you have a well-maintained four-wheel vehicle like Ford Raptor and many others, adequate water, and a mobile phone with sufficient reception if you plan on driving in the desert. Driving in Dubai is one of the most dangerous things. There is no courtesy on the road and everyone drives at speed. Drivers have no lane discipline - they change lanes without warning and drive slow in the “fast” lanes and vice versa. All of the road laws in the UAE are quite comprehensive. Dubai is an exemption, where extraordinary traffic implies that this would be a major road peril.
