I could see Jim in a sweet 90's SHO with a red white and blue paint job and don't forget the TRS banner on the shield. Probably going to drive it across the US and have everyone sign the car and turn it into a sweet giveaway lol. I'd drive a car like that all day long.
I'm a Pontiac guy first and foremost.

I have entertained the thoughts of a BMW 3-series with a V8 swap.



I do like the Fusion though. I'd like to see what Shelby could do with one.

1) A 2.0 EB Fusion will spank my Ranger and yours in the 1/4.

2) The Marauder is cooler than the Vic, even a PI.

I tried google to and got a bunch of chinese watches.

Like actually from china. Had the little symbol letters and all.
Same here. I was also thinking it could be a Moog part number like ADSM08 mentioned. Moog or Superlift # but clearly it's not.

Normally my Google-fu is nearly unmatched, but not this time..

At first, those numbers reminded me of Superlift part numbers. No luck there..
So what could it be....:unsure:
Maybe something on a window sticker:whistle:

Oh come on guys. Use your imagination.
Ok.. My next guess is:

In a world of pure imagination...

Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you'll see
Into your imagination
We'll begin with a spin
Travelling in the world of my creation
What we'll see will defy explanation
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanna change the world?
There's nothing to it.
There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination

My credo
Lead follow or get out of my way
I still say it's an engineering number assigned to a vehicle that is in Fords test fleet. The only question for me is... is it a Ranger... or a Bronco? I have to believe that there would be way to much liability giving Jim a true prototype Bronco... so it's probably a Ranger.
