My words, something like, “This dealer is a money laundering outfit for the Cartels.” They are all about stealing your money. This is what they tried to do to me,” etc,,, “You don’t mess with the special investigators” Zah ! Fighting injustice does not weaken me. It makes me stronger. I will...

I keep watching the Hybrid threads, hoping to see these issues go away. I want to consider the hybrid in 2029 when I replace my problem free Ecoboost. I think it would be fun to play with the hybrid and get the super mpg’s I’m assuming I can get in a nice warm cab on those winter mornings by...

Nice, $1180 a year for both cars. My second is a 2004 escape. My 24 Eco Mav is $800 per year. $500 deductible, NO windshield coverage,,,, Full new never titled replacement if I total this one in the first five years, cost for that is $60 per year.

I thrive in the rattlesnakes nest. I’ve actually been told to leave at one dealer. I was standing in the middle if the showroom floor loudly telling potential customers how this particular dealer was trying to rip me off. Trying to sell me an extra warranty costing $200 to cover my cheap steel...

It’s out now

No Erie, They are very affordable but they don’t take monthly payments. I pay in full once a year. Bigger insurance companies are best. Allstate was big, now they are just another underwriter. Erie insurers Skyscrapers, Air ports, homes of course.

It’s not possible to overdrive the low beams at 18-20 mph, is it? I think my 2024 Eco Lariat brights activate at 30 mph. Again at 30 I can easily stop within the low beams reach. Are you sure you don’t need cloudy cataracts removed ? Before I had mine done I needed high beams at lower speeds...

This is exactly why I carry new replacement coverage if I total mine. It cost me $60 a year and for the first FIVE years I get a new never titled Mav If I total out for any reason.

“I checked with AI” did you now, PMSL

It’ll give it heartburn. Literally.

I’m screwed~~~~

Drain flush and refill is $179 at my dealer. The flush and refill takes 12 quarts. I’ll do it at 50,000 and I’ll trade up before 100,000 miles. Before my extended warranty or my crash/Total out coverage expires.

Scared no, but I’m not putting my Ecoboost into water like in that video, mud getting in everything. My electronics and my brakes will never see that kind of abuse, even if I had a tremor. My Mav is not a jeep.

I’m glad I can manually turn all my lights off day or night. I don’t like it when guvments take things from me.

How much was the mpg loss due to the increased vacuum effect of spoiler. It effectively makes the flat vertical tailgate surface taller I would think. At sane speeds it’s behind the beds air bubble so hopefully it’s negligible. Btw most spoilers don’t add effective downforce until you get above...

I think Stop/Start was added just to insure your upkeep cost would rise even more, Maybe dramatically. The purpose ? Should be obvious. They/them can sell you a new car sooner. Refrigerators used to last 30,40 YEARS They took out the bearings and started using bushings. Now your lucky to get...

No thank you, $99 LoL

Then came the gimmicks like Slick 50, Amsoil, And a host of other products with marketing that convinced many people that if they didn’t use this or that product they’d regret it. Because “It’s far superior to all the proven products we’ve used for years.”

Drive like your barefoot and you got an egg under your toes on the gas pedal and your trying not to crush it. I rarely notice any shifting. My eco holds gears and moves the tach up and down so very smoothly but it will get over excited like a kid on Coke If I get after it.

I knew if I kept bitchin about that oh so stupid start/stop crap and how bad it was for turbos someone would come to their senses and end it. :’P
