For years, and maybe still going on today, Johnson County KS (especially Overland Park, Olathe, Shawnee Mission) new auto dealers have been dealing with hail damage on their new car lots. It so bad that they actually have mobile dent removal services that basically travel from dealer to dealer...

They're also great for turning a 2 car garage into a 4 car garage! Had 2 of them in a 12' tall lake home 2 car garage.

Live just south of SGF airport.... but luckily didnt see any of it. But heard lots of vehicles got hammered in north Springfield MO area.

Unless it was Frumps hand... that would make it a Tonka toy - Dump Truck! 🤣

In our new '26 Lariat, BT cell calls are good using our Samsung phones. The only issue we experienced has nothing to do with sound quality, but, connection quality. Several times when traveling with both our Mav and '23 Superduty within approx. 100' of each other, our phones (which are...

Totally agree! Dont need any more distractions fiddling around trying to turn on a function. Also hate Kiosk order machines at resturaunts too. IMO, complicates and slows down the whole process. However, do like self checkouts and (some well designed) App ordering - they actually can help...

+1. Dont like to use any wood either. Also saw them spit over time as well. Use a hard rubber round jack head pinch weld puck. It sits flat inside of my 3ton rolling floor jack head and any pinch weld safely. Also only use one jack stand per wheel, and, leave the floor jack on the nearby...

Done some events in Missouri, Kentucky and Colorado, but mainly in Pittsville Illinois. Used to belong to the Two Rivers Jeep Club in Pittsville Illinois several years ago. Have done some rock crawls, lots of steep mud/obstacle/off-camber trails, ditch climbs and puddle jumps upto the doors...

Were I offroad... they'd call a Maverick at the trail head an Uber or parts truck. 🙃

They have a flap with velcro that leaves just a tiny gap that will allow the signal to get through. But only works close up or in the car. Otherwise no connection.

We keep all of our proximity keys in Faraday bags. Our bags will reduce the signal to just a few feet, enough to startt the car if in it. As far as unlocking the doors, it only appears to work if sensed that the individual touching the handle has the bag with them.

The ops story is how I typically deal as well. However, in my experience, you have to be willing to also travel. When I bought my new 2012 GT500 convertible, found a dealer who had been sitting on one for 6 months and was using it as eye candy on a turntable in a large Chicago Ford dealership...

Have got invalid collision warnings or sensor issues from other vehicles due to dirt, road grime, snow, and ice. Would occasionally have to pull over and clean the area where the sensor resided.... in this case my Hyundai Sonata which was behind the grill emblem that at times could collect lots...

This is off the net: "Yes, the 2026 Ford Maverick equipped with the 4K Tow Package features a smart trailer light test system, which is part of the upgraded trailer towing capabilities. This feature is designed to check trailer lights via the infotainment system, particularly in combination...

Our son gave us a couple of emergency window breaker tools his work gave away to employees a few years ago. On ours, it has a led light, glass break tool, and a seatbelt cutter.

80k? Is it a Rapter? Is it new? WOW..... The dealer aint gonna give more than what its worth minus a profit for them to sale. But, SOME will buy it if if they can turn a profit on it no matter what the cost is - why wouldnt they? They're in the business to sell cars and make money...

Would head to KBB and see what they say about trade in value for your vehicle. Dealerships usually use KBB as gospel on trades. Take that low/med value and deal with that. I found im better off making the deal on the trade upfront, but, no way for dealer to know value worth until you get your...

👍 Nice!

Oh... you would be wrong on that! Totally know, and, get the cost and performance advantages of ethanol. Especially a old shadetree who has been rebuilding motors since the early '70's. Just dont like its effect on valve trains, injectors, catalytic converters etc. But, I even still use it...

Mine has all the same intake plumbing as a stock '13 GT500, but, has a (aftermarket) smaller pulley on the snout, and a bigger pulley on the belt drive. I also have a bigger inter-cooler tank, radiator and pump than the stock 2012 (not sure compared to the '13?). Then, mine was tuned with all...
