Yep, I believe its called the Smithers Winter Test Center now.

I'll have to keep an eye out for it up here in case they ever come up to the Keweenaw Research Center.

 

Ya they just changes the name or got bought out.
Where you from? I was from Kinross, but then moved to Menominee.. Might possibly be moving to Sault Ste. Nature again in the next year or two.

 

I'm in Houghton at Tech. Originally from Chicago though.

 

I've got a few friends that go to tech. They really like it up there.

 

I really like it up here too. We have a family cabin up here, so I spent a lot of my summers up here before coming to Tech anyways. But yeah, I have yet to run into someone that hates it up here.

 

Just the few that complain about the weather. Ha

 

Can we keep on topic? Start a new thread if you want to talk about where you live.

 

Article talking about the LED headlights.

NEW FORD F-150 -- FIRST TRUCK TO OFFER TOUGHER, BRIGHTER, MORE EFFICIENT LED HEADLAMPS

 

oooohhhhhh - they "increased the premiumness"
More stuff I can't afford!

but yes, I like what Ford is doing. Now if I just hit the lottery I can go buy a 2015 F150 Platinum...

 

400 mil on the Mega tonight - go get your ticket!

 

Anyone else notice this headlight is bigger than this guy's whole torso?

 

LOL, when I heard that I thought really..."premiumness"...all kidding aside Ford just set the bar in so many areas for the truck segment. They really did a nice job on the new F-150. I can't wait to hear the new performance/mileage specs which IN ADDITION to the new look/features/functionality will really put the heat on Chevy/Ram/Toyota to step it up. Nice job Ford!
