This was at an ABCD car show. I asked the owner if he had a Ferrari v-12 in it, and he said, "No. Just the 1147." (or whatever the first, smaller Spit engine was) I doubt if the engine even made enough heat to warm up those exhaust pipes, assuming that both were hooked up to the manifold in...

I once saw the same exhaust system on a Triumph Spitfire. On your train horn comment, back in the late 1950s, a guy had the 1949/1950/1951? Ford sedan. He installed a train headlamp in the round thing on his grille, along with his train horn. According to the story, he would go out into the...

For what it's worth, and no help to you, Maryland dealers issue a permanent plate with the new vehicle. I am amazed that ALL states don't do it, and eliminate the silly paper plate and the wait for the permanent plate. Beautiful truck, BTW, same color as mine.

It's the Commies, after our precious bodily fluids.

I hope somebody on here gives you the answer! My instrument panel has a mind of its own. Sometimes it shows me the digital speedo. Sometimes it shows me some other information. Lately it is showing me a photo of my silver Maverick. On my Dad's new 1947 Ford, I understood every gauge on the...

Looking at the Amazon listing, it says "Brand: SAWUAA" I hope this helps; it means nothing to me!

I have used 303 Aerospace Protectant on my convertible tops and tonneau covers for 40 years. It is great stuff, protects from UV rays, and doesn't rinse off in the rain and leave streaks down the side of the car.

I am VERY HAPPY with the Nappa Leather (Custom fit for Ford) cover from Amazon.com. No stitching, just stretching to get it onto the wheel. I was leery when I ordered it, as all of my previous covers had required the stitching routine, and I didn't know what I was going to get. This cover...

No problem with my XL. I think it's a "pigment of your imagination."

The driver door on my XL has a mind of its own. I lock the doors by the lock button on the driver's door when I leave the truck. Once I close the door, I always try opening the latch. Half the time the door is locked; half the time it is not. I have no idea why this happens. I am guessing...

Great photo! It reminds me of the B&W Trailer Hitches ad on the Outdoor Channel: "For the man who has everything............and needs to tow it."

Thanks, Slingshot! I gotta laugh at your post. I am "dumb and happy," living in the 19th century, with my first-generation Garmin nuvi 42LM. The lady on there is the smartest person in the world. Another stream on this forum is entitled "More Blue Tooth Woes." I don't even know what blue...

Thank you, Sarah. I was incredulous while reading this list, as "fastest selling" was lost on me. "Days on the lot" clears it up. So, this criterion means absolutely NOTHING. When Cadillac Escalade shows up at the top of a list, the list can't mean much. Unless you are one of the three...

Right!

Same here. My dealer was fantastic. He had no rental, so he drove me home (15 miles) and delivered my truck the next day. (Century Ford in Mt. Airy, MD.) Apparently, it is quite a task: the entire headliner must come out, and it takes 4 people to do it, one at each corner, to keep from...

Last month, I bought a full set of BBS wheels from Tire Rack. I paid the extra $120 to have them come out to my apartment and install them. Their whole process was a MASTERPIECE. One guy, 2 hours, including spin balancing and programming of the TPM sensors. Granted, this was the only time I...

I concur! LEAVE IT OFF!! A few years back, I owned a 2004 Ford "Retrobird," a beautiful car. Texas required a front plate, so, being the law-abiding (read "naive") citizen that I am, I bought the expensive plate holder, drilled two holes in the plastic bumper, and installed the plate and...

Reminder. If your new wheels have their separate lug nuts, be sure to keep a set of your old lug nuts in case you ever have to use your spare.

How do you like the Primacys? Are they QUIET?

Cute. But, in my apartment complex parking lot, I would worry about its disappearing. I bought the standard black plastic with the Ford logo on it, and I still worry about its disappearing. As the aftermarket people start kicking in on our Maverick, all kinds of stuff is going to show up...
