...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...
...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!
...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...
...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.
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...
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.
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.
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?
...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...
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...
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.
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...
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.
