  1. Maverick Delivered Finally!

    ...I really like this HotPepperRed color, but knew it would look horrible with the blue interior. Ended-up going with basic White for my XLT, expressly because of the "no-color-choice" interior. I have some ideas to brighten it up with some body graphics. Ford needs to diversify from their...
  2. 1970s Freewheeling Maverick Makeover

    ...my first thought too: Maverick Lariat Squire anyone???
  3. Showing off the Maverick to random interested folks.

    It's a reference to the most excellent movie "Ferris Buehler's Day Off"; highly recommended!
  4. Showing off the Maverick to random interested folks.

    ..."Cameron's Dad"... a great reference, from one of the best movies ever. I've watched it dozens of times over the years. 'Never gets old.
  5. Wisconsin Roll Call

    ...Martin Ford Union Grove, XLT/EcoBoost, AWD, 4K-tow, slider, upgraded wheels. Dropped the 'LuxGroup' to expedite back in March. 'Looks like it helped. Original order was placed in Oct. Happy-Happy!
  6. Hoosiers Roll Call

    ...Well, I received the "Scheduled for Production" (including VIN number) email from Ford yesterday (APR22); order was placed OCT20. About a month ago, my dealer contacted me to suggest that I consider dropping a couple of the "constrained" options I had originally specified. The only truly...
  7. Black roof vinyl, light tinted headlights, dark tinted tail lights on Maverick

    ...I like this iteration a lot better, does away with that 2-color lense which I find unappealing. I also find the subtle Hex-pattern very cool. Never saw that before.
  8. Maverick on Chrome & Red Painted Steelies

    ...or BabyMoons, with trim rings like these.
  9. 15% Ethanol Fuel? [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS]

    When news of this boost in ethanol-content broke, I wondered about possible negative effects on performance and on mechanicals. My research indicates that performance should be largely unaffected. But I did learn that ethanol can be bad (over the long term) to mechanicals due to its propensity...
  10. I may have found a design problem

    Your point is well taken. But it's a calculated risk as the only trips the dog takes are twice-per-day to the local DogPark. Also, I'm a very defensive driver. Have never been involved in an accident in 51-years of driving. As I said, a calculated risk. But your point is valid.
  11. I may have found a design problem

    I can picture that. In '72 Cougars were still built on the Mustang undercarriage. In '77, they had grown...shared a platform with T'bird and Grand Torino. The Cougar tried real hard to look like a Continental Mark.
  12. I may have found a design problem

    Thankfully, not here. Even had a cop pull-up alongside at a stoplight a week ago, rolled his window down, laughed and said "that just might be the happiest dog I've ever seen". God bless America, eh?
  13. I may have found a design problem

    ...ah yes, the good old days when cars were built with wretched excess, lol. I had a '77 Cougar XR7, 2-door model; $a tad under $7-Grand out the door. Those doors must've been 6-ft long. And there was probably 3-ft between the front face of the radiator and the grille (which was hinged to...
  14. I may have found a design problem

    I'm still waiting for my Mav (Oct 2021), but am apprehensive regarding the odd design of the armrests in the front doors. I have absolutely no use for the "water bottle" capability feature, but the absence of a full-length armrest could well prove problematic...my dog insists on sitting in my...
  15. OXFORD WHITE Maverick Photos Thread

    Ummmm...while it doesn't look horrible, I wouldn't do it myself. When in doubt, leave it out. A 'clean' look is usually best. It's so easy to cross the line into wretched excess, lol.
  16. Buschur's Maverick 2.0 oil separators DONE!

    ...very aptly named, "LarryTheLunatic". Should be forced to read Rob't Pirsig's 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance'
  17. Conversation today with Ford and my dealer (not good)

    I'd walk everywhere rather than have a Chevoray in my garage.
  18. New CVT on the way?

    From everything I've learned, these eCVT's are quite good and (in Toyotas) have proven themselves "bulletproof". I still wouldn't want one in my personal vehicle though. A conventional automatic puts a layer of separation between machine and driver, vis-a-vis feedback I mean. I would expect any...
  19. Buschur's Maverick 2.0 oil separators DONE!

    I'm impressed, but don't think this alteration would pass muster I appreciate this feedback, think it's probably a good idea. But my concern is that any such alteration to a vehicle's breathing system would set off alarm bells at the emissions test req'd by the state. I don't need that headache.
  20. So, you are now Director of Maverick Colors

    ....whenever you're behind the wheel! That expanse of hood stretching-out before your eyes?
