Your age / occupation?

[M Spec]

70 years old. Retired Railroad Engineer. I sit on my boat dock and take things a lot slower now. Just ordered the Maverick because it was cheap reliable transportation to run into town and back once a week. Hardly Ford's targeted audience.

Congratulations on retirement!!!!!! I to do the boat dock thing. Enjoy yourself

I did a little profiling on M Spec, really I just used google .

Don't do as i did and mistake the op for a car nut
911 not made in Germany
StI not made in Japan
M Spec definitely NOT a BMW

A little touchy today, I was trying to bring a little humor to your thread.

Evidently no one bothered to Google STI, M Spec

My son had a STI NO NOT the Google one, a blue 1 when they were ALL blue he did all the bolt on, software. I took him for a test ride power shifted 1 - 2 ,I thought he was going to climb out!
He said " maybe I should have told you I just had hemroid surgery" we still laugh about it.

Here are a couple of my sporty cars.

I would be interest to know members age and occupation.

Is your name Mark Zuckyberg?

 

[FirstFord]

Age: I'm a vet, post Vietnam, pre Gulf. So no one ever shot at me.
Income: My kids are grown, through college, and out of the house.
You don't know how much kids cost...until they're gone.

So I can by a Maverick cash. Could buy a much more expensive car cash but this little truck (Hybrid) appeals to my environmental sensibilities while supporting my hobbies. And I still have a 175HP motorcycle for when I want to piss other people off.

In summary, not Ford's target demographic. Just spill-over like a lot of other people on this forum.

This reminds me a lot of the Honda Element release back in 2003. The Element was a big hit, but not so much with the market the product planners predicted. While the Mav may be a bit more on-target, I think the appeal beyond the intended market definitely caught Ford off guard. Will be fun to see where they take it through its product cycle and beyond.

Happened with Scion too

Roger your last! Welcome home yourself.

Howdy Capt, M Spec. I am "Fred The Medic" (we couldn't use our real names as we didn't want our mommies to see our capture or death on the 6 pm news). Carried sniper rifle mainly because after losing 2-3 carrying it nobody else would touch it, I told my Capt I would take it until he could find someone else. Loved it when he called out and said "Doc give that guy a shot" (about 900 yards away). I was Nam 9/67-9/68. Front line whole time. Charmed never scratched. Bunch close & months without seeing wheeled vehicle.

I love cars, had many and keep my ‘68 Chevy Nova convertible ready for a good weather drive.

A '68? Was this a custom build?
