can't wait for the lighter, and the comb, and the mayonase, and the lotion, and the seat covers, and the glasses, and the hair clips, and wallet.......

Technically, Ford didn't make Barricade.

Saleen did. Barricade's body styling and changes are just enough to actually consider him a non Ford product.

I'm not sure they were able to secure a license from Ford anyway. Saleen has the rights to that body style and make that they used for Barricade.

Saleen also created Bumblebee apparently. (I read it somewhere, they had pictures of him and Barricade together and both had the Saleen plate on the back.)

actually........ bumblebee is a pontiac gto modified by saleen to look like a concept camero...

While that comes off as bitching, that is kinda funny if you know about how Gene Simmons hawks Kiss stuff....

Anyway on topic, cool truck but I'll probably never own one.

It'll do 4 miles to the gallon and melt a whole iceberg by itself.

The lighter's already in existence. Zippo (located in Bradford, Pennsylvania) made a set of two (Autobot and Decepticon) for the Japanese market as a tie-in for the film. They run about $95-105.00 a piece.

You are indeed correct, and I misspoke. Either way, Saleen had their hand in it, and Barricade is still their creation, not Ford's. (It's a shame that the original company hasn't made anything even half as cool as a designer...)

no the muffin, I can't, sorry.
This is my maximum level of bitching.
besides, you know that was some funny s***.
The reference made you laugh, even if you did not agree.
I would have made a more sophisticated reference, but I left my "Dennis Miller's big book of obscure historical references" in my other pants pocket.
