  1. New Vehicle Sales Plunge as Chip Shortages, Production Cuts, Low Inventories Drag On

    Recession/depression. :( I have a friend who owns a small vape/smoke shop out in California. Her sales have been way down the last few months even though she is the most inexpensive shop in town. She attributes it to the $6/gallon gas. Granted, her customer base tends to be those on the...
  2. New Vehicle Sales Plunge as Chip Shortages, Production Cuts, Low Inventories Drag On

    Sorry, my pizza is only made with 100% mozzarella cheese. My customers won't accept any hipster goat cheese or some weird vegan cheese paste glopped on top. For the sake of this discussion lets assume there is no direct substitute just like there is no substitute for chips. Pizza without...
  3. New Vehicle Sales Plunge as Chip Shortages, Production Cuts, Low Inventories Drag On

    Hardly any vehicles out there and the situation isn't going to improve any time soon. These delays in production at a time of increased demand will be felt in pricing of new and used vehicles for years to come. Its a double whammy when combined with the decreased production we experienced...
  4. New Vehicle Sales Plunge as Chip Shortages, Production Cuts, Low Inventories Drag On

    Isn't this a meaningless distinction? If there is a cow shortage and my pizza joint runs out of cheese then my pizza sales will fall. It would be correct to say "pizza sales plunged"
  5. High RPMs when taking off from a stop

    I don't have too many miles behind mine but my first impressions are that the eco-boost really takes off unless you're exceptionally delicate on the throttle.
  6. Ordered Maverick, dealer added on $2.5K of features. What should I do?

    Seems so shady. I'd back out. If the car hasn't been financed/paid for there is usually a clause in most purchase orders which allows you to walk away, no problem. Alternately, take it for a test drive and accidentally back it through the dealership's front door. Then tell them it's not what...
  7. I don't like being the center of attention

    I'm currently unattached so in theory I don't mind the attention... unfortunately in practice it seems 95% of the attention is from other dudes... and even if I did swing that way -they're all in trucks that make it look like their compensating for something. They say it's the motion of the...
  8. Anyone else think the key FOB is way too big?

    Just curious. Super happy with my Lariat so far but it has the biggest honking key fob I've ever seen. I know Ford truck owners are often compensating for something (just look for the lift kits) but I don't need this oversized bulge in my pants. Folks think I'm happy to see them and not just...
  9. A matter of "Supply & Demand" ...or just gouging? $48k Lariat

    It's not price gouging. It's what these vehicles are going to cost unless market conditions change drastically (IE probably going to take a recession/depression). Think about the price of beef. Do you think it's going back down anytime soon? Do you think if you wait 6-18 months that steak is...
  10. Using my real truck for truck stuff

    Work truck. Doing work.
  11. HOT PEPPER RED Maverick Photos Thread

    Here's a few photos of my first drive in my new maverick. Hot pepper red is everything I hoped for and more.
  12. How do I drive this car in the mountains?

    Thank you for posting that. I am, however, already familiar with that section. I'm more curious how it works. If I'm going 70mph and hit "low" what exactly happens? It doesn't drop into 1st (or does it?) Manual reflects low mode provides "maximum engine breaking".... eh, that's not necessarily...
  13. Wild Mavericks seen in Colorado Springs

    I saw an Area 51 high up in the hills in Golden, CO the other day. Only one I've seen so far. I liked it. Looked very much like a truck, at least from the seat of my econobox sedan.
  14. How do I drive this car in the mountains?

    Never got an answer so I figured I'd try again. I'm driving my Ford Maverick. Headed up a mountain pass, no problem cause the turbo launches me right up. I get to the top and begin to descend the mountain. My vehicle begins picking up speed, more than my disc brakes can mitigate without...
  15. Hot Pepper Red XLT no moonroof?

    I suspect people putting on fairly frivolous options like a moonroof are more likely to go Lariat.
  16. Colorado Maverick owners

    Just got put on a truck in AZ and should be here any day in the foothills of Lakewood, CO. I'm excited
  17. Sad day, drivers side 1st edition stickers coming off.

    I'd be pretty shocked if a car wash actually compensates you for that. I bet your 'claim' goes right in the round file. :( Sorry to see this happened to you car. Hopefully Ford will take care of it.
  18. Touchdown!

    Is yours for sale? Or can you find another one for that price? (I'm guessing the answer is no on both counts) Again, very happy for those who pre-ordered and managed to pay less. I'm not the least bit surprised that some did. Those prices don't exist for anyone walking onto a dealership lot...
  19. DIY Dog Guard

    I'm guessing public urination, as well. :ROFLMAO:
