Oh cool, an expert. What airfreshener can I use that won't void my warranty?

Surprised nobody has done lighted ones yet.... though if you did you'd probably need to put a 1/8th hole in top corner of all letters to run a wire... or change 8 batteries every 2 weeks.

We maybe need a catchy saying like slippery in the sticks, eco in the bricks, so as to remember that slippery is best when you've got long stretches and far apart intersections when you can coast and eco probably better when you've got traffic and frequent slowdowns etc.

Yeah you'd have to show me significant compression loss, restored some by drizzling oil in the cylinders, at 200k miles to make me even begin to take you seriously, and I would only continue to if there was absolute proof it was never run low on oil.

Yeah might be if you only start your motor once a month. Takes over 2 weeks for there to be no oil film at all.

Mobil One infomercial designed to panic you into buying it, when all these scenarios have been covered in the design of the engine and oils. Meaning the myths quoted come from the 70s before oils did that and PCV was uncommon and engine management systems didn't make sure an engine got up to...

It looks the same as the Ford.ca site, or rather I guess .ca is clone of parent, and from what my dealer guy was telling me, it works in a kinda conditional fashion, something like... First off, it might be 2 or 3 days off, it's dependent on refresh cycles and admin input on the dealers ends...

Still on my first dealer tank and not trying to drive economically so as to run in the IC. Trip counters started at 32mpg in the first couple hundred, now showing 37.5mpg with nearly 500 miles on this tank. This is hybrid AWD with 4k tow. I have seen 60mpg on some trips greater than 10 miles on...

I have an "Origami kammback to hightop topper" project in scale model development stages. I wasn't really thinking of it as a camper, but it goes about as high as a truck tent, and you could get "squatting on crates" seating height at the tall end. Sticking point now is that I ended up with a...

Yeah we're at a point on the 25s where if you want "any maverick as long as I get the best price/features deal" you can wait it out, but if you want specific trims, features, colors, you need to hunt and pounce because the cherries are gonna get picked.

Cool stuff guys. Speaking of tiny campers a Quicksilver TC2 turned up on the long range radar, and I been going yeah, nah, yeah, nah, yeah, nah ever since... two theoretical beds, not good for 6 footers. Has some problems to solve for a Maverick.

On a single axle, a slight angle doesn't matter per se, unless it is gonna drag on ramps and railroad tracks at the back. If back is still high enough for clearance, then correct weight balance AT THAT ANGLE, will be fine... but an incline does encourage loose weight to shift back, so get...

You make it sound like finding a parking spot in a large lot. So nobody had a clock running or nothing? (BTW had multiple parallel thoughts collide when I said "down" when most would have said up, was thinking down a ratio number, up a gear, down in revs and down came out.) But anyway...

Ummm, you know it's a turbo motor right?? Should be making power to redline and you don't want to shift down early and end up out of boost in what is a RACE MODE. Just seeming a rather silly objection to a race mode acting like a race mode.

Yeah it seems what "butt dynos" actually measure are a sharp torque peak. The amount of butt dyno feelgood seems more related to the lack of torque either side of same rather than the actual height.

Early oughts, I had to bomb around in a 92 Tempo, not the AWD, FWD, 4 banger HSFC. So middle of winter, comes a storm, and shit must be done, so I am out in it. It is practically "plowing" the road at first, with about 7 or 8" down, and I'm seeing the gas gauge go down visibly because it's...

Update to my last comment. Took delivery a couple of weeks back and put a few hundred miles on it... It's fkn nice. Not "beating it like it owes me money" of course, or babying it, trying to run in the ICE so I'm in normal mode mostly and not trying to drive particularly economically, but some...

No they ruined it by tryna make it low and sporty and sexy, doesn't look like boring practical transport at all now.

92, get 'em while they're cheap :LOL:

But if they made 2k each on 12k Escapes with a Ford badge on and 20k each on 2.5k Escapes with a Lincoln badge on, guess where the bigger profits are coming from :LOL:
