Good Bye Big Red
NOV
09

just wanted to say,i was a proud owner of a 1990 Ford F-150,till an auto accident last week that unfortunately “totaled” out my truck (well,according to the insurance company).very saddened considering i loved the truck,was a great truck,had over 450,000 miles on it,and it still had many more to go,run like a champ. the accident was due to the other drivers failure to yield. her car was crumbled…my ole ford proved your moto, “built Ford tough’. i truely believe that if i had been driving anything else, i would have been seriously injured. compared to the other drivers car, my damage was nothing. but due to the year and milage,doesnt look like they are gonna repair it,and worse,not gonna give me enough to replace it. what it was worth to me and what they feel its worth…are two very different things. really miss my big ole red Ford. too bad ya just cant find them made like that one anymore. not sure what i’ll be driving from now on,right now still driving a rental. this truck would have out-lived me, but due to a careless driver out there, i had to say good bye to an old friend,”BigRed”..thumbs up to Ford.!!

I did a Bing search on 'electric motors' and Siemens came up. I was educated about the difference between 'Parallel Hybrid' and 'Serial Hybrid'. 'Parallel' uses the combustion engine exclusively to turn a transmission for power to the wheels: it only uses the electric drive motors to get the vehicle moving or sustain a low MPH. 'Serial Hybrid' uses electric motors "exclusively" to drive the vehicle and the combustion engine is used to power the electric motors and re-charge batteries. The "combustion engine" could be a small power plant that uses fuel cell tech, or Natural Gas, or gasoline the the size of the engine does not have to large. The electric motor has a lot of torque so it can handle any load or any application. Siemens has been around and produced electric motors since the late 1800s. Ford and Siemens could combine: Ford engines and vehicles with Siemens electric motors, controllers and other electronics to produce a planet loving vehicle product.
