The Corolla Cross was my top choice vehicle. It was the dealership that f'ed up any further desire to get one. Back then you had to place a spleen ($2000!!) on deposit to order one. Funk that noise. I put $0 down to order the Maverick. No brainer.
It's a first-year vehicle. There's going to be issues that need to be ironed out, and WE ALL KNEW THIS going into our purchase. Yeah, the recalls are an inconvenience, whether it's hybrid or EB issues. Time will tell if the Maverick is a complete POS or an absolute gem. I gave up 25 years of...
Germany (and many other European countries) have highly skilled tradesmen. My in-laws home in NY has kitchen cabinets that were made entirely by hand by their German neighbor back when they bought the house in the 60's. You'd e hard pressed to find cabinetry that well made in today's times. Not...
I had two "run over" incidences:
1) Was coming back from Tarrytown, NY across the Tappan Zee Bridge (before it was renamed Governor Douchebag Bridge) on my way back to college, and someone lost a mattress which took flight and landed on the roof/window of a car about 20 car lengths ahead of me...
Taking a trip to Key West soon (I suck as a native Floridian and have never been!) and wondered if there's places I should or could be parking rather than the pocket-emptying parking lots I keep hearing about on YouTube? I'll be traveling with a dog who needs to accompany me through the touristy...
As an FYI, avoid Connor Talley as your salesperson. Was going to order a Ranger through Mullinax and he completely screwed up and never placed my order.
Understand completely. I live at the beach in the no-drive section, depending on the day/time the beach is either abandoned or sporadically dotted with people. Mostly it's fishermen on the shoreline. However, more often than not the beach is pretty empty and you have no problems finding a spot...
Maverick drivers need a wave like the Jeep folks do.
Hell, I'm still getting stopped at lights and having the occasional conversation with other Maverick owners!
Honda COMPLETELY f'ed up when they came out with the CR-Z hybrid. It was basically a replacement for the CRX, which as a gasoline engine got insane gas mileage in the upper 30's, and 40's certainly wasn't unheard of. With the CR-Z you had a hybrid that got a paltry 38mpg and sat two people...
