  2. Swapping out continentals on steelies

    I misspoke. My blurb should read these tires are fine for me, and my particular environment. All paved roads here.
  3. Swapping out continentals on steelies

    None of us bought a Ferrari. These tires are perfectly adequate.
  4. Tin can body

    While northbound on 95 in Connecticut, traveling at 70+ (a rare occurrence due to sheer traffic volume there) the car next to, and a car length ahead hit one of those. It wrapped around his axle, therefore locking the right front wheel. Major smoke show! Involuntary breaking in the left lane of...
  5. Moonroof won't open

    Make the call. A conversation from the mothership goes a long way.
  6. Moonroof won't open

    Call 1-800-392-3673 and describe your dilemma. They should put you in touch with the proper authorities. If they don't suggest it, mention you would like to meet with the Rep. They may have you meet him or her at the scene of the crime. Try to remain calm.
  7. Moonroof won't open

    Hey! My roof doesn't open either! I was a Service Advisor at a Lincoln Mercury dealer in the Boston area from the mid seventies to the early nineties. (don't be concerned, intense therapy and rehab almost has me back to normal) We were a Fomoco favorite. They sent lots of problem cases in the...
  8. I’m getting excited… what does this really mean?

    I was notified mine was shipped on April 20, 2023. It arrived at the Cape Cod dealer on May 7. (2881 miles, rail and transport) Still ecstatic!
  9. The Continentals are Junk: Gotta Go. 3 flats 3,000 miles

    Dang Urq, those KO's will make your Mav ride like a truck. They are too stiff for a light truck. Load range "D" which is an 8 ply tire.
  10. The Continentals are Junk: Gotta Go. 3 flats 3,000 miles

    When I was selling tires, I would offer the customer the opportunity to physically lift the tire off of the floor. The Michelin ia a good bit heavier, as there is more to it. Just to be an ass I suggested they lick them too, but only let a couple of real grinders go through with it.
  11. The Continentals are Junk: Gotta Go. 3 flats 3,000 miles

    I hate to speak without all of my facts in place (lie) but I purchased a Good Sam wheel and tire plan. They had a sale for $299. for 5 year coverage. They won't come out on the road and change it for you, but pay $30. toward a tire repair. They will replace a tire or wheel if not repairable (not...
  12. The Continentals are Junk: Gotta Go. 3 flats 3,000 miles

    I sold tires for a looooong time. People who leave their vehicles in the garage are least likely to get punctures. (I was going to say driveway, but Urquel's driveway ate one of his tires. "DID i DO THAT?") As for the rest of us, road hazards are on every inch of every road, and parking lots...

  14. What is the record wait for a Maverick?

    Waited 25,222 days... all of my life for this vehicle!

    Adult diapers, in case there is a problem on the trip,
  16. My Maverick totaled... while I was on vacation!

    All this banter about dash cameras. I can see my dashboard just fine from the driver's seat!
  17. E-CVT and HYBRID/ENGINE FACTS

    Some engines are produced in Czechoslovakia. It becomes apparent when the "Czech Engine" light illuminates. ...however, it is misspelled.
  18. Using a dongle to eliminate the need for plugging your phone?

    i use the MA1 Motorola. I love it! The plug and unplug your phone again and again isn't wise. Occasionally, the touch screen freezes up. I unplug the dongle USB A for a second, and it resets quickly. I recently caught a you-tubey video which claimed you can move the dongle from cah to cah...
  19. Cost to fix a damaged front bumper and headlight on Maverick?

    $1.00 at Harbor Freight for cable ties would fix it. Those made up about 7% of my 2001 Camry. (all kidding aside, sorry for your loss)
