  1. (Article) The Feds Plan To Start Diluting Gasoline (E15)This May

    Greenworks had the simple advantage of being sold and returnable at Lowes. A secondary reason was that on checking prices, they seemed to be lower than some of the other 80v options. (OK, once you exclude Kobalt & Harbor Freight, there are only three 80v left!)
  2. 👉🏻UPDATE👇🏻 Ford uses Torx PLUS ++ Here is the Difference

    I believe that I am currently getting 13.5% on non-sale items at Lowes. 10% military discount + 2% non-lowes visa + 1.5% Lowes rewards. But on sale items, no military discount, so I have to settle for 5% Lowes credit card and 1.5% rewards. 😭 If I have it straight, the military status also...
  3. 👉🏻UPDATE👇🏻 Ford uses Torx PLUS ++ Here is the Difference

    Torx++ is what you get when the wrench-heads and computer nerds spend too much time together . . . :eek: Simple solution: don't by Japanese cars! :crackup: (ok, so I have a 2006 Miata GT. But ford owned something like 30% of Mazda at the time, and I expected them to buy the other 70%...
  4. A log of the investment returns and loan for my 25 Maverick

    26Q4 now in. This quarter was a ride, especially the last month! The Roth holds $49,200, while the payoff is $36,526. So for the moment, up $12,674 [edited: incorrectly said $31,152). I have $3,283 more than I started with, after making the first 11 payments. Note that I have $595 less than...
  5. Cool features our Mavs should have

    Manual spark advance and unsynchronized transmission, let's not forget those important things! 😲
  6. Cool features our Mavs should have

    Anything from James Bond, but especially misses! :crackup: And a V8. V8s are always the answer!
  7. (Article) The Feds Plan To Start Diluting Gasoline (E15)This May

    Go 80 volts! (ok, it's really 72; everything but 18v and 24v are "peak" rather than "nominal" battery voltage. I.e, the only difference between an 18v and a 20v pack is marketing and deception). I didn't believe the claim that the 80v Kobalt chainsaw was comparable to a 50cc gas engine; I...
  8. With or without the 4K package ???

    I thought mine was only an extra $400--but it was already a hybrid Lariat, and this was before the mid-year towing assist enhancements. (Or was it that enhancement raised the price of the package by $400?) In any event, the dealer didn't try to charge me more for the change in price (although...
  9. Adieu to my Maverick

    even worse, you have to drink that wretched, over-roasted, burnt "coffee". (well, I suppose if you go for the frou-frou drinks with a splash of coffee in them, you might not notice how amazingly bad it tastes . . . ) :facepalm: "hey, give me a frappa-wappa ding-dong, with a double shot of...
  10. Ford Rewards Visa is back

    No, I get 2% in cash wherever I use the card, both from Fidelity and Navy Federal. No limits on how much.
  11. 2026 Maverick wins Best Resale Value Award 2026 by KBB

    Resale value in excess of purchase price generally (i.e., outside of supply shocks) means that price significantly increased . . . I first saw it when BMW advertised something like 102% for the first year back in the 80s . . .
  12. Rear mounted snow plow installed

    Nah. Your AI only draws its backside with three cheeks, while his hallucinates a 4th! Unless you're accusing the picture of being a fake, the fact that the truck's front truck wheels are over the track, as are its inner rear wheels, is a good start. And then add that the train wheels up...
  13. Infamous Urban Legend "Florida Man" drives a Maverick

    so use the jellyfish launcher for them with a second or so of ignition delay! :facepalm:
  14. China Has "Flash Charging" EV's

    He kind of left Mr. 400V in the dust, didn't he? :facepalm:
  15. 2026 Maverick wins Best Resale Value Award 2026 by KBB

    Oh, I understand buying the shiny new one all right. But why does that mean I have to give up the old one? :facepalm:
  16. Infamous Urban Legend "Florida Man" drives a Maverick

    you folks laugh, but since that picture was taken, he single-handedly shot down to incoming cuban drones! :devil:
  17. Anyone know what this is?

    when in doubt, mumble about either ludicrous mode or flux capacitors! :teehee:
  18. Finding the elusive jack points on a '25. (pictures? and getting it on jack stands))

    I can't convince myself that that the left circle has an arrow and not a dirt smudge! :crackup: but I can see the one on the right now. I had both "wings" of the rack under triple pinch weld, as I couldn't find a position with the slot at the weld that wouldn't have the wings punching through...
  19. Finding the elusive jack points on a '25. (pictures? and getting it on jack stands))

    apparently, my 25 Lariat has plastic panels where these others don't, obscuring the arrows: So I used the puck below where the doors meet on each side, the larger jack stands in the front, and the smaller in the back: This generally worked well, except that: 1) Cheap Chinese...
  20. Vehicle Lockout

    In some climates (northern CA), they were great on some cars for defogging the windows. (of course, a VW didn't have a dash that could mount a vent for the front window . . . I dunno. My adult twins quickly found that they could unlock one another's; iPhones. (not that they didn't know one...
