There is a bug with the brightness software that Ford wont acknowledge. (spoke to one of the engineers) If you try to brighten it, it will go to 50% from 0 and then stop brightening from 50%-100%. sometimes if you play with it for long enough you can get it to go to 60%, but that does not...

That is awesome. I could only imagine what my wife or daughter would have done in that situation. We took a tourist heli ride in Maui several years ago and the pilot (Heli pilots are built different) laughed, asked if anyone was afraid of heights, and when no one responded proceeded to drop us...

If you get a chance to do it!!! They wont be flying forever. I have a few others on my bucket list to take a ride in. One of them I have to get in sooner than later, there are only 3 B-17's still flying in the US, and that one is a dream ride I MUST do at some point. There are also only 2...

Love that guys channel lol. My favorite quote "it will be fine....."

They are flying 2 of them at the moment. the 1929 is here in the West, and the 1928 is up in the north east.

It was an absolutely smooth landing. The pilot had previously flown 777's for United. He said the Tri-motor was a dream to fly. I have not quite yet been able to pull the trigger to get my private certificate. It is on my long list of things to do. I have been an aviation nut since I...

EAA's Tri-Motor is meticulously maintained and inspected. It has been rebuilt twice. The first time after an accident just prior to EAA's purchase. And then once later on to do a full airframe inspection and restoration. I have pretty good faith in EAA's ability to keep the bird in the air...

It burns 25 gal. per hour of Aviation fuel lol. Probably not the best mielage....

I have been an Aviation enthusiast as long as I could say "airplane" and today we took a ride in a Tin Goose. A 1929 Ford Tri-Motor! What a great experience. Probably the smoothest landing I have ever experienced. I guess it should be with a plane that has a max. of 98 knots (113mph).

I live in a pretty darn hilly part of Colorado. I learned to drive in the snow with a 1977 Chevy Camaro with 11" wide tires and had no issues. I have also had a 92 RWD ranger which was a pain in the rear to get up and down the hills in during the winter. And I have driven many FWD cars in the...

They forgot to reinstall it. Call them, let them know, and they will find it or get another one. Happened a couple times with my previous Escape.

My cousin refers to it as a "Ford Baja" lol. His Explorer has spent more time in the shop than any of the past 3 cars I have owned, I just need to bring that up and he quiets down lol There is this interesting thing that keeps popping up while I am driving around..... I have a large amount of...

Glad you had fun in our mountains :) I am a roadie, and yea there are plenty of roads up there I would not be caught dead riding on lol. The go-to for most roadies up there is Vail Pass, which runs from Frisco, to Copper mountain, and then down into Vail. Absolutely beautiful trail! Tough...

This! and... Bring in the other members that have Mavericks ordered from the same dealership and confront them as a group. A few angry customers yelling about the same thing in the dealership will do more than just one single angry customer.

That looks nice! I went with the Yakima solution because it can quickly be installed and pulled off, and I could keep the tri-fold tonneau cover installed. I did not want to have to spend a ton of time swapping them out. It takes me about 5 min. to reinstall the cross bars, and bike rack, and...

When I see another Area 51 Maverick!

HA! My garage contains a little of both. I have a 2 car garage with my '77 Camaro on one half (not running at the moment) and the other half for at least one of our Vehicles. The Maverick has been getting that spot this summer, its our newest vehicle. My wife's Escape is paid off, and my...

Thats great! Glad you got it, and out of the state before any damage could befall it. It has been an absolutely insane year for hail. Colorado is one of the states with the highest incidents of hail, but man every night we are getting thunderstorm warnings that include 2-3" hail! Glad they...

Congratz!!! now to find a place you can hide it each afternoon so this gigantic gorilla hail we have been getting wont hurt it.

Its a decent 4-wheel drive trail. It was in pretty rough condition when I set out on the gravel bike. Many ATV's and side by sides, a few dirt bikes and well me on a gravel bike. There were quite a few jeeps working their way along the trail too. While I was unloading my Gravel bike another...
