I need another "fun" car. I'm turning 50 this month and it helps me justify some frivolous spending. Here is a "Maverick" 302 Grabber being rebuilt down the street from me. I'm not impressed with the curbside rattlecan job, but it runs. What do you think?
My 05/22 Hybrid Maverick in CA has a fat second CC way out in the open like a ripe juicy fruit. Last night my neighbor across the street had his CC stolen from a newer Corolla, so I DIY protected mine.
I'm cheap, and happy with a low budget deterent. Lowe's 3/16" uncoated steel wire, one...
I have 1.3K miles on my basic XL Hybrid. Up to this point it has been impossible to come to a complete stop smoothly. I attributed this to new brake pads and grabbing. I was just going to live with it and figured that's just how this car drives.

I just sold my other car and had the trade-in dealer inspect and make an offer on my basic XL with 59 miles on the odo. He came back with an offer of $31.500.
Not bad, I would have taken it if the Ford Maverick online order taking was still open.
But, alas I will settle in to enjoy my new...
I'm picking up my Mav now with the recall fixed.
They "removed two grill shutters (or 4 blinds) and drilled some holes. New spots for rust to form. I asked the to look at the EV wire harness, they said the did and it "looks fine".
CA has a new car two day return policy. Oh well, I'll be stuck...
Picked up my brand new Maverick Wednesday, and I'm waiting in line to enter the service dept for this Engine Fire hazard recall. They wanted to turn me away for not having an appointment. Wife reminded me I'm within the lemon law return period.
