My BMW’s have sliding consoles.

Why wouldn’t you just spray them if you don’t like the color. I’m sure there’s plenty of paint options for plastic.

I’m 68 and 64 makes you a kid.

Escape hybrid with 200hp 0-60 in 8.7 seconds.

I want a flux capacitor for my hybrid

Mousetrap

If the hood scoop said “Hemi” on it least people would get a good laugh when they saw my hybrid.

If I ran Ford I would probably stop booking online to try and figure out if 100,000 reservations is 25,000 or 65,000 real orders. I mean there are a lot of people on this site admitting booking two, three or more trucks. This is why requiring a deposit makes sense.

Dire Straights were British, does that make them good old boys?

We had a 2013 BMW X1 that was going to hit 7 years old so we traded it because it had the N20 engine. Thing is they figured it out in about 2014 but had used the engine in a couple hundred thousand engines so they extended the warranty.

BMW had a major problem with timing chain guides on a discontinued N20 engine. A plastic chain guide fit around the chain I guess to keep it from hitting anything once it stretched. Problem was the guide would fall apart (plastic) in some engines and if you caught it in time $1400+ to fix, if...

Takes me back to mid to late 1990’s, every other Ford Explorer was a dark green. I bought two BMW’s in dark green and about one in 4 cars were dark green. I think blue is the current green.

This goes back to a question I posted a while back when it appeared that reservations/orders were trending to a much higher age group than targeted. Granted these numbers are so small they are meaningless but 55% are over age 50. My real question is it would be nice to have a column for the age...

Only subscribers to Consumer Reports get a car questionnaire, the don’t randomly contact people about cars. The also ask about all major purchases like appliances, lawnmowers, computers, phones but if your expecting someone to randomly contact you or you randomly contact them it doesn’t work...

The numbers are transposed, 68% of the orders are hybrid, the number quoted are reversed as if 32% are Hybrid and 68% are ecoboost.

Consumer Reports is unbiased on cars. I get the magazine and get a questionnaire twice a year about my cars. They ask for milage, problems, repairs, everything twice a year. I’m also on two BMW forums and the problems Consumer Reports show are almost identical to the feedback that owners on the...

Does the Maverick have a Tire Pressure Monitor System? Either way I’ll buy a cheap air pump/ slim hit if a tire is just low and I can add pressure to make it to a tire store or home. I’ve literally had this happen twice in the last 6 weeks on my BMW that doesn’t have a spare. Pump saved me even...

Amazon has changed the world, its killed malls, mom and pops and made the expectation of being able to buy everything on line and get immediate gratification. The Ford idea isn’t bad its the fact that covid has everything 100% screwed up from a supply standpoint. You can’t go to lot and pick out...

What if the economy went to shit, things happen and would it be fair or ethical to get hundreds or thousands of people saying I don’t want the vehicle? Just saying there are two sides to every coin, things are great in the car business from a demand standpoint but I always say what if what if...

My last 5-6 BMW’s I ordered, my last one an X3 I ordered out of Charlotte in Jan 2020 and got a quote on my trade in on line as well as negotiated a discount without every visiting the dealer (Hendricks). Only had to take about 10 pictures of the trade in. From the day I ordered to delivery was...
