I was out walking with my 104-year-old mother. She has a rather wry sense of humor, and started giving me grief about the "mythic Maverick." After some discussion she and I decided Ford marketing should consider renaming the vehicle. Hereafter it is to be known as the Mytherick or the Neverick.

I am an attorney. A contract in California is offer & acceptance. You need consideration, but your promise to pay is the consideration you agreed to. Your problem is, of course, that attorneys are expensive, but you might be able to find a young, raw-meat-eating lawyer to lay it on them. But, as...

Yup, I got my late 45-day dear john letter. When you're in a dysfunctional relationship, you can get more than one of those.

I agree with icegradner. Your truck deserves the repair, and you'll feel better about the first vehicle you've cared about. I don't see how your rates would go up, but, of course, I don't trust insurance companies. But you should get it fixed.

Un jour sans un Maverick est comme un jour sans soleil.

I've said this before; I don't do civil law, and I certainly don't specialize in the area of auto sales. But I would argue that you had a contract to purchase the truck, and they breached it. Check with somebody who knows the consumer laws in Texas. In California small claims only goes up to...

This kind of thing happens in Cali, too. That is, I've heard of it; in fact, decades ago I had a similar kind of thing when I guy tried to jump onto the bed of my truck. (I accelerated before he could get on, and he ate some pavement.) But I've spent over 30 years in the criminal courts north of...

A handsome guitar in a handsome truck. But don’t drive with the guitar in that stand.

I drive a 2017 Hybrid Niro, which I'm going to give to my son when (if?) I get my Maverick. It is a great set of wheels, and on occasion (cruise control, long trips) I've gotten close to 50 mpg. There have been times during this wait that I've considered getting another Niro, and there are few...

I saw four Mavericks today in Sonoma and Marin Counties, north of San Fran. I've decided it's a sign I'm going to get scheduled this week. And, yes, my wife thinks I've lost my mind. I don't dispute that.

In terms of durability – not comfort – how does the bedrug compare with the spray in bedliner? Though my wife may have different ideas, I have no intention of hauling mulch or dirt or fertilizer in my Maverick. I am also going to install a trifold cover.

Thanks. I suspect there's a sheet of Baltic birch plywood in my future. Assuming I ever get my truck.

How much was this?

Well, I am a lawyer, and I think the non-lawyers are right on the money. The catch is, of course, that state laws vary, and I haven't the foggiest idea what the law is in Florida. But I don't see how this set of facts would rise to the level of identity theft. On the issue of fraud, maybe. And...

Can you post the URL you used? I can't for the life of me figure out how to get past needing a VIN to get anything out of the Ford website.

Nice puppy. What is his/her name? Who is the boss? You or the dog?

I guess I’ll try to split the middle here. Tdonch suggests that there is somehow a relationship between Ford’s attempts to increase inclusiveness in the workplace and the difficulty we have getting our Mavericks. That’s absurd, of course. But I concede that tdonch’s non sequitur doesn’t...

Hah. I thought of that. I believe it's covered by the Uniform Commercial Code. If someone sends you something unsolicited, it's yours. I have to note that no one has ever sent me anything in those circumstances. I keep hoping.

Your options will depend on Alabama law. Generally, you and the seller are bound by the contract. But lawyers make their livings off the exceptions to the rule. Were you in my jurisdiction, I would suggest that because you agreed to a price - if I understand this right - you are bound. A...
