  1. No More FordPass Rewards Visa

    Fidelity and Navy Federal both have 2% back, no limits, without international currency charges. (I suspect that USAA would be similar).
  2. Frist scratch in 2 yrs, caution warning

    🤷‍♂️ So divorce the tornado . . . 🤪 There should be a nice inexpensive, call it a buck or two, option, FS0001, for which the factory applies the first sc watch at the factory. Heck, it might be covered by the mental health section of your health insurance! :teehee:
  3. Help! What do these buttons adjust?

    I'm not sure that that's a good idea in a vehicle known to have a jellyfish launcher! 😱 well, at least until you know where the magazine is . . .
  4. Why didn’t I figure this out sooner !!!

    One morning at our donuts, a club member came a bit bewildered. IIRC, his Cadillac is '49, and he was holding the manual. The jack is about a three inch cylinder, without a big square plate. It attaches to the rim of the tire. You jack it up, and use a stand to hold it up! This from a day...
  5. Very expensive to insure the Maverick

    Speaking as an attorney (bankruptcy, at that), I'll simply state that LLCs don't protect nearly as much as the folks selling them or using them think they do. Yes, the sole remedy for a judgment against you is a "charging order", but that makes it trivial to stop you from taking money out...
  6. Next gen Maverick should have pass through from bed to back of cab

    My mother got a new '72 Chevy van, just before the van craze. The windows on the rear doors were hinged on the top, and opened at the bottom, just like the side windows. We were quickly warned not to open them while driving, as they'd draw the exhaust back in. And the AC on that thing wasn't...
  7. 2025 Aftermarket Upgrades?

    :crackup: Why not? 10-15 years ago, starting in at least three different places, people started calling me "doc" instead of my name. (OK, maybe the DOCHAWK license plates led to some of it). Once my priest started addressing me as doc at communion, I realized that I no longer had a name . . .
  8. Old school Waxing

    While I was still driving enough to be buying gas often enough, I'd do two panels with a rinseless wash, and then a fast spray wax, each time I stopped for gas. This was enough to be perpetually shiny. I almost felt guilty, given the production that waxing was forty years ago . . . I spent...
  9. 2025 Aftermarket Upgrades?

    Two feet. Not on the Eldorado, but I'm a lawyer, so I also have a 4' spiked tail and cloven hooves! 🤪
  10. Very expensive to insure the Maverick

    that's a reasonable starting assumption, but the data just doesn't bear it out. Your driving history has very little to do with whether you have an accident or other loss covered by comp or UI. It presumably has a lot to do with your liability, as reflected in the explanatory pages telling...
  11. 2025 Aftermarket Upgrades?

    As someone who actually owns a '72 Eldorado convertible, I'm not suer how to react . .. :crackup:
  12. 2025 Mav keyless entry

    One day I set out to work on my '72 Eldroado in the garage. I needed to remove a front tire or some such. The parking brake latch didn't work, so I simply put it in park. It wasn't until it started rolling that it occurred to me that front wheel drive meant that the rear wheels weren't held...
  13. Joined the club AGAIN, Side-Swiped in Mexico by a Motorcycle, more damage.

    well you could take this opportunity to have all those black parts chromed . . . :crackup: Oh, and the door handles and mirrors. The MAVERICK on the tailgate. Add a couple of spears the length of the vehicle. Hmm, how fast do your wife and dog run ? 😱:crackup:
  14. Very expensive to insure the Maverick

    This. Your zip code is the single largest factor. It includes the effects from the number of uninsured drivers in your area, and the number of thieves, as well as local driving. My uninsured motorist coverage (for if one hurts people n my car) is more than my own liability if you look at the...
  15. Does anyone know the expected life for screens in vehicles?

    But if it's age catching up with your component, a used replacement from the same period is going to be of similar age, and may not have much life left. I would expect it to be time and heat on a screen, not the amount time used. I have both an early Lego Mindstorms and a Macintosh Portable...
  16. Gas pedal height adjustable?

    the first couple I was assigned to drive, I mistook the accelerator for the starter, and went looking for the accelerator, only to eventually find the starter! And then there were the 50s GMs (Oldsmobile and I forget who else) where they had the bright idea to put the starter button under the...
  17. Getting the Ability to Send Messages/Text Through the Car

    short of watching HD video, I'm not sure that throttling will affect most people (who will probably never hit the throttling threshold, anyway). Throttled speed seems to allow simultaneous audio stream and navigation. that said, everything other than the big three is selling data on their...
  18. Gas pedal height adjustable?

    And older. Some of the 20s things I've driven have basically a nub of a button poking through the car, even though they have what we would consider full sized clutch &. rake. Go a bit older (and for ford, still in the 20s), and you get a lever on the hub of the wheel. Most also had a floor...
  19. Ford Insure

    New for 2027 model year! The Shelby Hybric Maverick. With a casual disregard for the laws of physics, we've framed a Powerboost powertrain into the Maverick! Combined with a suspension from the Mustang (the real one, not the Mach E you tweaker!), it offers a ride unmatched since you wrecked...
