Probably didn't even signal, either . . . :facepalm:

What part of "Ford" don't you understand? 🤔 If the fuel gauge were accurate, it would be some other brand . . . :explode:

Nah, the 700R4 on my '93 Fleetwood made something clear to me. (it's the 4 speed descendent of the Turbo 350). After changing the filter and fluid due to problems, the fluid was back again. So I jacked it up, started cleaning and looking around. There was a cracked board inside (looked like...

Nah, the thermal underwear and electric blankets were enough. :crackup: Bt it's been annoying when my wife turns the swamp cooler too low and it pulls this place down to 70!

yeah, getting chilly. We had a whole week under 100F!

You can also go to full throttle and wind it out without the getting an invitation from the highway patrol!

Hollering, "Ford!" is a time proven way to ward off riceburners! :crackup:

we could explain, but then the DEA would shut down the forum, so . . .

It's an open (and frustrating) secret that Ford really needs better editors. that the hybrid won't benefit from more octane (but will benefit from more cleaners) is a basic matter of physics, chemistry, and engineering. various sources I've read seen to suggest that the ecoboost line is...

my wife's 25 Lariat is definitely reading them--it even picks up the 5mph sign in my church parking to, which I'm pretty sure wouldn't be in ford's database! It also tends to pick up speeds from adjacent parallel routes and acceleration lanes. now that is a pleasant thought! (I've maintained...

markings are everything. sometimes a center line and a curb are enough, other times not. And other times asphalt worn through toe concrete is enough to confuse it. Or old paved over painted lines. Or . . .

so that's, what, 6 days ago (US)? 🤔 :crackup:

It's now 11 from I-15 to the border. I think it stays I-11 for at least a mile or two in. Then many, many miles of "future corridor of I-11". So they'll squabble for 10-20 years on that, and even longer on what path it will take for I-11 to go to Reno . . . If all of Kingmabn is out, I'm...

hmm, it says through 2024. I'd sure be tempted if it could do 2025--but would also make sure it was installed before my wife found out! :crackup: [I actually toy with the idea of a low mileage '23 F-150 powerboost instead of a new one, but they seem to be scarcer then hen's teeth in the...

When heading to Tucson from Las Vegas, in both my '02 E150 4.6 and my '93 Cadillac Fleetwood, I tended to try to be down to a quarter tank before leaving (by not filling more than needed the last time before leaving). It's about 100 miles, and gas is so much less there! Anyway, I head down...

I'm hoping for a bit of UV protection. We have so much UV here that tires die of sidewall dry rot long before tread comes into play. And actually remembering to do it every three months, well . . . [Actually, with my Eldorado Touring Coupe while I was still commenting, I'd get a panel or two...

just don't tell my wife how much I'm planning on spending to fill the upcoming three car garage after $20k for three stacker lifts . . . 😱 :crackup:

there was no charge on my wife's 2025 lariat for the rear power window; it was part of the trim. lane centering, as opposed to mere assist, as @pointed out above, can only engage with ACC enabled. It then comes and goes with the quality of lane markings. Is it actually available for...

Go for a transam screaming chicken! why not, they're putting them on everything these days! :facepalm: [like black Japanese SUVs. and then they send them to classic car auctions because, uhm, . . .] Anyway, I decided long before it arrived to ceramic my wife's 2025 maverick. It spent...

FWIW, today while searching for other things (trim level), I found that the inline 6 in a 1950 ford had more torque (but less hp) than the v8! [yes, one of the things I'm looking for as soon as I move in the coming months is a 50s convertible (but 40s could be a negotiable substitute). Must...
