No one tried to pry anything off. The pattern on those scratches is clearly something headed toward the button and missing by a little bit. Something small and light like a fingernail or something held in the hand while pushing the button. Notice how most are close to the buttons edge then some...
Unless you park under some genetically altered tree this is a non-issue. I've had a car with a large gap there for 20 years and never took any special care to clear it.
Leaves dry up and blow out when driving.
Snow melts under the heat of a running engine.
Sounds like maybe he got Doc Brown's maverick and good old Doc put a MyKey limit on it just before the flux capacitor kicks in. This way no shenanigans happen 🤷.
You speak of the early adopter tax 😁. Another good point to this discussion and hybrid/electric still in general. Hybrid has been around over a decade or two even?? But in the grand scheme its still pretty new.
The thought absolutely crossed my mind, but in between will be minority report style automated system of what is more like Pods than cars.
Maybe a manufacturer or two will keep producing some really econo/specialty ICE vehicles. Bare bones type things that every few households can keep for SHTF...
Had anyone thought of the old anecdote that to sell a car you don't sell the car, you sell the lifestyle a person wants to lead? No wonder you see such arguments about the better option because people are defending that lifestyle choice/dream most of the time.
No offense to hybrid owners but...
Not to mention the myriad of other things that can go wrong and/or are horrible about leaving an unattended 4000lb vehicle running in public.
This is going to be the reason why eventually it will be required for a vehicle to shut itself off when the driver gets up and weight is no longer...
Any stats available on the maverick for major mechanical repairs? Might make your decision easier.
In my lifetime I've never really capitalized on an extended warranty for something more than $100 or so.
I dont put a lot of mileage on my car. So the 5 year 60k seemed fine. 5 years is a long...
I ordered the same in the first day the books opened and my dealer told me I'm #2 in line for ecoboost.
Nothing for me yet. I don't mind waiting when waiting is fair, but Ford could give people a clue where they are truely are in queue. This BS about relying on your dealer to be transparent...
Very good advice. I recall a simple brake replacement going like this...
- Take things apart and realize I need a new caliper
- 🤬
- Trip to autoparts store in wifes car and back no probs
- Wife heads out, but fine because I got what I need
- Find out I need a new brake hose for that caliper
-...
I know enough not to fall for that old blinker fluid trick.
But... "Unobtanium", that sounds Soooooo Ereete! Sign me up for 5, that will boost mys self esteem for days, making extra passes around my hood! 🤣
Man truck bed accessories are expensive. So many of the items I see here are just ridiculously lricesnwhen compared to similar non-truck items.
Eg.
The more expensive solid wood/hard wood futon frames I am seeing in a search are like $500-$600 and many come with a mattress.
Isnt this just a...
Yeah, totally seems that way. However, now that you've released the proof of concept I want one... yesterday. With added strength that defies natural law. Make it happen! 🤣 On the same budget please!
It's an amazing world we live in right now where a sensible truck is what is turning heads. Perhaps this is a sign that in a world where everything is sensationalized, people actually just want to dial it down. Here is to hoping it takes hold 🤞.
Insert rant about excess here 😁
I dont want to be the kinds of jerk that goes out and a schedules a second order with a different dealer. Cause, ya know that just gums it up more for e everyone.
But if I'm not scheduled on the next big go for Dec, I'm going to.
Its like the system wants to turn me into a flipper or order...
Yup... come on baby, Daddy needs a new XL ecoboost! 🤞
Literally, I've got offspring and eeeking my 20yo SUV through inspection is getting to be quite the liability. 😩
Nice to see you possibly extending this. Your topper is the only one that has me considering the spend, great utilitarian design.
I have a few accessories for my non-existant Mav, but cant justify this much if my orders has issues. Will reach out in the future, hopefully sooner than later.
