    whoa, wait? Just one lift? where are you supposed to put your other cars? :eek:
  2. (Article) The Feds Plan To Start Diluting Gasoline (E15)This May

    oh, believe me, going to 80 volts on both of those is amazing. I replaced perfectly good 18v with 80v on both, giving the old ones away, , and just plain "wow". this morning, I finished converting the battery compartment in my kobalt 80v blower to accept a greenworks battery (just cut off the...
  3. Insurance rates

    a couple of decades ago, the Texas legislature was poised to ban the use of credit scores when setting rates. In a moment of rationality that we don't expect from legislatures, they postponed so that a study could be done. The result was that credit score was a better predictor of claims than...

    The rodents, however, expressed their displeasure by biting the judge, who is now undergoing an incredibly painful series of rabies shots . . . :eek:
  5. Hybrid Revs Coasting Down Hill

  6. Dealer wants to change my Tranny fluid at 55K miles

    I guess it's over thirty years ago that I transitioned from Mac to Unix. I'd been wrapping text around figures (graphics) I inserted into documents. Now, I was using LaTeX, a document layout system, by way of LyX, a graphical interface to it. I got frustrated by it using the entire width of...
  7. (Article) The Feds Plan To Start Diluting Gasoline (E15)This May

    Greenworks had the simple advantage of being sold and returnable at Lowes. A secondary reason was that on checking prices, they seemed to be lower than some of the other 80v options. (OK, once you exclude Kobalt & Harbor Freight, there are only three 80v left!)
  8. 👉🏻UPDATE👇🏻 Ford uses Torx PLUS ++ Here is the Difference

    I believe that I am currently getting 13.5% on non-sale items at Lowes. 10% military discount + 2% non-lowes visa + 1.5% Lowes rewards. But on sale items, no military discount, so I have to settle for 5% Lowes credit card and 1.5% rewards. 😭 If I have it straight, the military status also...
  9. 👉🏻UPDATE👇🏻 Ford uses Torx PLUS ++ Here is the Difference

    Torx++ is what you get when the wrench-heads and computer nerds spend too much time together . . . :eek: Simple solution: don't by Japanese cars! :crackup: (ok, so I have a 2006 Miata GT. But ford owned something like 30% of Mazda at the time, and I expected them to buy the other 70%...
  10. A log of the investment returns and loan for my 25 Maverick

    26Q4 now in. This quarter was a ride, especially the last month! The Roth holds $49,200, while the payoff is $36,526. So for the moment, up $12,674 [edited: incorrectly said $31,152). I have $3,283 more than I started with, after making the first 11 payments. Note that I have $595 less than...

    Manual spark advance and unsynchronized transmission, let's not forget those important things! 😲
  12. Cool features our Mavs should have

    Anything from James Bond, but especially misses! :crackup: And a V8. V8s are always the answer!
  13. (Article) The Feds Plan To Start Diluting Gasoline (E15)This May

    Go 80 volts! (ok, it's really 72; everything but 18v and 24v are "peak" rather than "nominal" battery voltage. I.e, the only difference between an 18v and a 20v pack is marketing and deception). I didn't believe the claim that the 80v Kobalt chainsaw was comparable to a 50cc gas engine; I...
  14. With or without the 4K package ???

    I thought mine was only an extra $400--but it was already a hybrid Lariat, and this was before the mid-year towing assist enhancements. (Or was it that enhancement raised the price of the package by $400?) In any event, the dealer didn't try to charge me more for the change in price (although...
  15. Adieu to my Maverick

    even worse, you have to drink that wretched, over-roasted, burnt "coffee". (well, I suppose if you go for the frou-frou drinks with a splash of coffee in them, you might not notice how amazingly bad it tastes . . . ) :facepalm: "hey, give me a frappa-wappa ding-dong, with a double shot of...
  16. Ford Rewards Visa is back

    No, I get 2% in cash wherever I use the card, both from Fidelity and Navy Federal. No limits on how much.
  17. 2026 Maverick wins Best Resale Value Award 2026 by KBB

    Resale value in excess of purchase price generally (i.e., outside of supply shocks) means that price significantly increased . . . I first saw it when BMW advertised something like 102% for the first year back in the 80s . . .
  18. Rear mounted snow plow installed

    Nah. Your AI only draws its backside with three cheeks, while his hallucinates a 4th! Unless you're accusing the picture of being a fake, the fact that the truck's front truck wheels are over the track, as are its inner rear wheels, is a good start. And then add that the train wheels up...
  19. Infamous Urban Legend "Florida Man" drives a Maverick

    so use the jellyfish launcher for them with a second or so of ignition delay! :facepalm:
  20. China Has "Flash Charging" EV's
