How can I say this? There are a lot of things going on you just don't notice. Have you ever driven down a street a few thousand times and on time 2001 you notice a house for the first time but it has been there for each of those other 2000 times?

Two months and off went the OEM continental tires for BFGs. The OEMs were sold and put a large dent in the price of the new, to my liking tires. I guess the factory tires would be fine for most people but I preferred something more appropriate for AWD and Northeast weather.

Normal driving, my Maverick is as quick as my '21 WRX. I say that because it (WRX) wasn't the easiest vehicle to drive at least with a 6 speed. When I finally put the 93 livernois on it, I think it would easily outperform it.

Maybe I am odd but I have always had a fascination with first aid kids and MRE's. Needless to say, those I do have in the under-seat storage. Around here I like to have a hog leg too.

The "rated" torque makes the 2.0EB quite fun especially how it cruises at 80mph. When this truck was first released, I never thought the engine was going to motivate it as well as it does.

A bit dirty but the tape keeps it flush with the hood. I doubt removing it would be simple though.

The trail terrain tires look good but have a nice thread and not too loud either.

Does the shop run a check the ecu during inspection? That state used to be known for rods and cars and such but now, wow.

I heard it one day and the clip ended before the punchline. I was hoping you knew it.

You know what having a dirty muffler is like, right?

Wait until you get a better tire.

A muffler or exhaust was not even on my list of things to do to my Maverick but when I recently had it in for an oil change, I was somewhat surprised at the look of the muffler when it was on the lift. The tailpipe looks great, but the giant muffler looked a bit worse for wear in terms of...

A deflector on the front is a nice addition but I went with the Ford OEM one. I wanted it flat on the hood but anything taking the brunt of bugs, rocks, etc..., works!

Definitely. Sound is extremely persuasive especially when it comes to a vehicle. It's like the power of suggestion, if you will.

Stellantis has been in trouble way before the current situation.

Free annual inspection that was never told to me by the dealer UNTIL I went in for the first inspection.

I have this weird hobby, you understand, about watching old commercial blocks that focus on a particular day, network and year and you see a great deal of things you now realize were interesting but back then were a waste of time. Now I don't give a hoot in hell which specific vehicle people...

Interesting. I had a discussion with someone about the same thing. Right off the bat, the commercials we see today are swill. The automotive commercials are nothing like they used to be in which you were pulled in and made you feel as if you had a horse in the race. Iococca was in commercials...

You serious Clark? Ever drive a turbo charged vehicle that stops making boost? Good luck with that one.

If it does fail outside of warranty, what does a new unit cost? I remember what a transaxle (from Ford) cost in 2000 for a 1996 SHO and it wasn't cheap.
