Sounds real sharp! Give it a good exterior once-over, I didn't even catch the paint chip in the Eruption Green, my mother-in-law did. Hopefully any issues in Desert Sand will stand out more.
Went and picked it up today. Aside from a chip in the paint they said they'll work on, everything looks great, and honestly the BAP really made a huge difference on the final product. Interior much more to my personal taste, decals look good, love those wheels. Only drive it home for now, but...
Good luck to your daughter! It's a line to ride for sure, you have to assume things are going to proceed normally but you also have to be prepared for anything to happen, and have secure control of your vehicle if said anything happens. Teaching the kid to drive also reinforced better driving...
Got The Call yesterday, they said it would take a good 24 hours to make it ready - inspection and all that - so based on my own scheduling, I'll be heading over on Monday to pick it up. The salesman said he loved the look of it - Eruption Green XLT with BAP - and I laughed and said "Yeah, I...
I have spent the last 18 months training my son up to drive - that's how I wound up here - and the #1 thing I have drilled into him is being late is not a problem to concern yourself with when you are driving. At all. It doesn't matter. When you are driving the only thing that matters is getting...
Glad you seem to have come out of it all right, and thankful to the Mav for taking care of you. It's wild to me that people think even a slight risk of accident is worth driving recklessly, this guy is going to pay for this in so many ways.
Nice! Ford shows Delivered as of tonight - like after 5PM when I checked - and I am hoping for the dealer call tomorrow, which has been the date I was hoping for all along.
It's fun seeing doppelgänger rides. There is someone else in my area that also drives a 2004 Ford Ranger, in blue, with the side steps, and they are like a distant relation by that alone.
Delivery sitting at 7/19-25, my hope is I can head on over after work 7/24 with my wife so we can inspect, test it out, and take care of business.
I know I said I'd update when it was ready, but I thought I'd mention that I contacted the salesman to ask that they please not add the dealer...
Workers who found their skilled trade work being overcome by the machines of industry that made cheaper, worse product at higher margins for the benefit of big capital. A tale as old as the industrial revolution, relevant to today.
Unfortunately that triple-zero does not apply to the Maverick, nor does it apply to many current model years, making it feel more like a "take this excess stock off our lots" sale than a true sale like Employee Pricing was. Really just Escape, Explorer, and some 2024s.
Now Honda - I hesitate to...
