Yeah, it's fun going down those long hills, but going back up just drinks the gasoline... Still, your average has got to be WAY better than if you were in an F150... ;)
When the Z3 first came out, I got all excited about getting one - and I was due for a car about that time... Then a co-worker got one, and took me to lunch in it. We had to open the top in order for me to get in - the door openings seemed VERY low (or the seats too high, one or the other). I...
Bought this Samsung 256 GB USB-C Flash Drive to transfer all my music onto... Copied all the files over from iTunes, plugged it in, and within a few seconds (I'm talking 10 seconds, max!) it was fully indexed and all the artist, album, and song title information showed up on the "browse" menu...
If all your dealer's orders were placed at priority code 19, you are NOT at a disadvantage in any way - either within the dealer's order queue, or within the greater framework of Ford's allocation system. Priorities between 10-19 are ONLY used to determine which order has priority once that...
So you're basically saying you have ZERO empathy for those who have been waiting for over a year and a half for their orders? You got yours, so screw everyone else, right?
I'm sorry - but Ford's handling of the order queue is beyond ridiculous and appalling, from a business standpoint. The...
Ford says "Never drive through water that is higher than the bottom of wheel hubs," which is considerably lower than that. Looking at my Maverick in the garage (no lift or lowering), it's roughly 10 inches to the bottom of the wheel hub area. I wouldn't want to go any deeper than that, and...
I find it humorous that HeatShield sells a "cover" (complete with suction cups so hold it on, no less) for the moonroof - which has a sliding cover from the factory. Guess there's a sucker born every minute, and they are keeping those bases covered... LOL
But I do like the fact that they...
OK - This will be my final recap of the 4/13 email batch. If you haven't reported your information, you're not nearly excited enough about getting scheduled - so you can do your own math!
Total MTC orders reported as scheduled: 132
Drivetrain:
Ecoboost ... 40 (30.3%)
Hybrid ...
I seem to be very much in the minority, but I'm really happy that I do NOT have a self-dimming mirror in the Maverick. I've had them in several cars, and have not been happy with any of them. Either it waits too late to dim the mirror, or it leaves it dimmed for way too long. So I'm happy to...
I guess I'm the exact opposite. Call my gorgeous Cyber Orange Maverick a "school bus" and it just makes my point. Who wants another black / gray / white vehicle? They don't stand out at all. Cyber Orange attracts attention, and makes it easy to find my truck at Costco or Home Depot. Not to...
In the past several months, there have been exactly ZERO Mavericks listed on local dealer websites that could be purchased at MSRP. All of the ones shoring MSRP are private orders. The ones that are actually for sale are typically MSRP+$5K for Ecoboost, and MSRP+$10K for Hybrids. And there...
Ooh - gotta see pictures of the MGA... I owned a '66 MG Midget and a '68 MGB in my younger days, and loved both cars. I always wanted a Triumph Spitfire, but the right deal never came along...
PS - my uncle started all this when he took me for a ride in his 195? MG-TD. Gorgeous car, and I'm...
Having lived overseas where scooters were more common, I think the ADV150 is really slick. But I've got a serious itch for the Honda Trail 125... The first motorcycle I ever rode was a Yamaha 125cc "trail bike" similar to this, and the first motorcycle I owned was a Honda CL175 - just slightly...
If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results, then the definition of "newly scheduled Maverick Order Holder" must be checking the tracker over and over again, hoping to get your window sticker...
