  1. The new Light Blue 2026 Maverick color is out!

    And I just want some punctuation. But, like the man sang, you can't always get what you want.
  2. The new Light Blue 2026 Maverick color is out!

    "All these" pastels? I'm thinking back through every color since the Maverick was introduced and I'm struggling to remember another pastel offering. Which colors, specifically, were you thinking of?
  3. No 91 octane fuel in my area

    You're correct. Higher octane fuel does exactly *one* thing: prevents premature detonation of fuel in engines tuned in such a way that such detonation may otherwise occur*. That's it. All other benefits exist purely in the imagination. Some of the confusion seems to stem from the fact that...
  4. Best tire for MPG (Hybrid 2023 XLT)

    Jeez. They cast an awfully wide net with what they consider LRR, didn't they? If THAT many models qualify, maybe it's time to increase the standards. Side note: Michelin makes TWELVE variations of the Primacy now? That seems needlessly confusing and granular.
  5. WTF changed with the 2026 door pockets

    Every single one of the rubber door pocket liners I've found specifically say they don't fit the 2026 models. I'm pasting an example below, but it's across multiple brands and listings, and seemingly confirmed by user reviews. But what changed this year? I didn't realize there was a revision...
  6. Hybrid thoughts

    Car & Driver's 0-60 time* in the hybrid awd is exactly the same as my Mini Roadster S. Not truly quick by modern standards, but enough to enjoy it. *-very few people seem capable of reproducing their figures, for reasons I could only guess at.
  7. Hybrid thoughts

    Absolutely, but I suspect people will have some complaints about the pricetag, if the other phevs on the market are any indictor.
  8. Hybrid vs gasoline

    Remember kids, the answers your AI gives you are only as smart as the dumbasses that wrote the forum/Reddit posts it's stealing from.
  9. Hybrid vs gasoline

    My wife's hybrid (not a Maverick, but for this ridiculous FUD it hardly matters) was 180k miles in and showing no signs of needing a new battery when some dumbdumb crashed into and totaled it.
  10. Auto AC is weak when it is hot outside

    I've never had the pleasure of living anywhere that didn't *require* turning everything to MAX four months of the year.
  11. The new Light Blue 2026 Maverick color is out!

    I do think it's worth noting that I really appreciate how willing Ford has been to do 2-3 fun colors per year, even when I don't love their specific choices. Would it be cool if they stuck around? Sure, and if one of these colors was a huge hit, it probably would! But the fact that they're...
  12. The new Light Blue 2026 Maverick color is out!

    I'm unsure what to do with that information, but... Cool? Silver is absolutely part of the standard palette of (damn near if not) *every* car model for my entire car-buying life. I don't know if it sells because people actually like it or just because nobody *hates* it and it's what's in stock...
  13. The new Light Blue 2026 Maverick color is out!

    Oh, you mean the *second* best 2026 color? It's not my favorite orange - I prefer ones that lean more burnt orange or even copper - but I'd take Orange Fury over any shade in what I call the German Rainbow*- Black, gray, silver, white, dark blue and, sometimes, a regular-ass red. *-so named...
  14. Rodent vs soy based wiring

    There is no easy fix for this. If there's a mouse population in the area, they will at some point try to set up shop inside your shit. Deterrents do almost nothing. Exclusion is almost impossible. Assuming you're around to monitor them, traps are really the way to go. Those bucket ones are...
  15. "Just get a hatch back."

    Sometimes bags are worth the premium for the conveniently sized packaging. Sometimes the loose stuff is just too cheap (or free) to pass up.
  16. The new Light Blue 2026 Maverick color is out!

    I'm flip-flopping between something like this and doing the roof and pillars. Either way: definitely these wheels and maybe some other bits.
  17. Deciding between a hard roll up or a flip up tonneau

    I lean folding over rolling, but there's something to be said for being about to see out the rear window (on those few occasions when you need to fully open it, but are carrying something that doesn't, itself, block your view).
