I personally have no hate for the SC, in fact I considered buying a Hampton grey SEL AWD. I had already test driven an eco-boost Maverick before test driving the SC. The SC I tested was about 700 more than the Ecoboost Maverick I have now (XLT AWD w/Lux pkg). Both have thier good and bad points...

Part of it may be the tall gearing. I notice that at 70 mph, the engine is only turning about 2000 rpms.

Well the Japanese didn't really create the first compact cars. Western Europe had the post WW2 micro cars and the UK had the Mini Cooper among others. Small Japanese pickups came before the Ford Ranger and Chevy S-10's though.

I got the ESP from Flood 7yrs/100K and got like $213 off because I had some service points accumulated. I think you are supposed to buy an ESP within the first 12 months. Make sure you get the light protection (I think it was and additional $70) because the headlights have to replaced as a...

Not like you have a choice when 90% of everything seems to be made in China now.

The idiot thing now is for people to have a phone mount right next to thier steering wheel. I was behind a woman that was steering with her left hand while texting with her right hand. A few days ago I saw a woman that was driving and watching a video on her phone. Tired of hearing how dangerous...

So now the Luxury package has a vinyl wrapped steering wheel rather than a leather wrapped one?

Mcgard lug nuts are good quality. I had some on my Escape. With that being said, I found the Gorilla Lock nuts superior to the Mcgard lock nuts in the design. I had Mcgard lock nuts actually get broken by some idiot mechanics that got too happy with thier impact wrench. The raised puzzle design...

I wouldn't see why you couldn't change trims if it hasn't been scheduled for production.

Hard to say as I'm not sure If I've seen the same one more than once. I've seen a Grey, a Cactus green, a silver, a hot pepper red (at the dealer) a velocity blue and about 3 (not including mine) Area 51's. I still have not seen a black, white, Cyber yellow or rapid red 1st edition. Area 51 is...

Area 51 ...... alien approved.

Does this mean I shouldn't clip my toe nails when I'm driving either? :unsure:

Heh, when the wall "fell" in East Germany, East Germans who were anxious to finally be able to buy a car, rushed to West German car dealers. The West German car dealers in response rushed cars to thier dealers. Unfortunately most of them were white and East Germans wanted any color but white...

I had a another thought after watching all the flooding in Florida with the hurricane. EV batteries hold a much higher charge than the typical 12V battery on a gas powered vehicle. If everyone had EV's, wouldn't all that electricity in the flooded areas be a possible electrocution hazard for...

As far as removing tree sap, insect repellent wipes will take it right off. I found this out some years ago after parking under a pine tree in Vermont.

I drove a couple of hours on the highway for the first time since breaking my Maverick in. I reset the avg. mpg gas calculator right after filling up and getting on the highway. I was curious as to how it would do. I was averaging about 65 mph and was getting over 35 mpg. Of course the Avg mpg...

I went with a hard cover vs a soft cover because of concerns of a soft top flapping when driving down the road more than for security reasons. I'm guessing a soft roll up will have flapping since there are no metal crossbars. Some of the cheap soft tri-folds will also flap as I've seen in...

U.S. Army 1983-1989 Stationed in Ft. Stewart Georgia, Arlington Virginia and Fulda (west) Germany.

Nice find. Appreciation to people like you that take the time to make videos to show your mods and how-to's.

Okay just went outside and snapped you some pictures. It rained enough early this morning enough to leave some puddling on top of the cover. Inside stayed pretty dry. These types of covers sit on top of the bed rails instead of being flush mounted so there is a small gap because there is a slot...
