  1. Wired Android Auto for maps and bluetooth from another phone for audio.

    In the USB settings on the phone, there might be a variety of things it's allowed to do over USB, if you leave out media, it might free up that to be accessed by BT... not sure though, just thinking.
  2. Are people actually paying basically MSRP for 3 year old Mavs?

    It was more the economy tanking that killed new car sales, the CFC put in 1 for 1 newer for older in theory, so there was 600k more newer cars than there would have been, BUT, there was still a hell of a lot of sales missing, 2008, 2009 and didn't pick back up fully until late teens, got maybe 3...
  3. Explain EV coach bars

    The outlines are the most you can achieve at the moment, like the "walls close in" when you're running out of battery, or have too little momentum left to put much charge back.
  4. Pepper’s Replacement.

    If the schoolie thing gets old, you can fairly easy do a fake Camel Trophy scheme, same style door sticker, "Llama Trophy" and large green ford oval instead of landrover. or something.
  5. Steeda lowering springs installed on FWD Hybrid

    Though springs compress with cornering forces too. I seem to remember some Taurus models having progressive coils on front (Was looking into them as an upgrade for a different vehicle, matching loads and sizes)
  6. Pepper’s Replacement.

    Cool, when do they mount the cab flashers and the pop out stop sign? :LOL:
  7. Pepper’s Replacement.

    I bet with doggy vision he's like "Man, you had a grey truck, now you got another grey truck, how boring." :LOL:
  8. Steeda lowering springs installed on FWD Hybrid

    Might gain 2mpg on highway, might not.
  9. Pepper’s Replacement.

    I guess it is time to swear you in to the Blue Mävster Cult. Raise your right hand, clench fist, extend pinkie and thumb (Shaka sign) and repeat these words. "I do solemnly swear that I ain't never not gonna fear no reaper." (Members who have financed it balls deep may provisionally...
  10. Pepper’s Replacement.

    It warns you with the flashing orange butt (_!_) when there's a TPMS error or pressure drop and a ding ding and a popup. ETA: Oh yeah, also spams your phone with red triangles in the Ford Pass app.
  11. Bret Got Rear Ended

    IMO it felt like a "light" collision because of the crumple, S15, you'd be in hospital in traction still.
  12. The Mini-sized MT1 comes in rear- or all-wheel drive

    Are we sure a stretch limo builder didn't get hold of an electric Smart ? :LOL:
  13. Prime Day is closing tonight. Anyone splurge on anything cool they'd like to share here?

    Had some stuff bookmarked from a month or two back, it didn't get even a measly 5% off, so they can keep it.
  14. Deer Strike

    He's probably got to wait for the rut to find a receptive doe :LOL:
  15. Deer Strike

    About the whistles, gotta make sure you mount them in good airflow that doesn't stall... or get cut off when shutters close or something. I figure in hilly country you might do slightly better on the mpg with the tremor gearing, don't think you'll lose much if you're not doing 70mph+ a lot. I...
