I've rented a good number of cars over the years, and while my Mav's camera is not the best I've seen, it is far from the worst and is fine for what it does. When I need high res I'll reach for my Nikon (and a roll of film 😅...)

When I bought my Mav in early 24 I also bought a custom fit but cheap windshield sun shade on Amazon. Now it's gotten kind of floppy and the inner layer is flaking off here and there, so it's time to replace it. (Southern California sun is a killer.) I looked at the genuine Ford one and it's...

There are 3 possibilities: 1. The tires. I don't know how good the factory tires are in snow, and it's also possible that they're thrashed at 11k miles, depending on how they've been driven. 2. There was more black ice under the snow than you realized. 3. You don't say if you have experience...

As long as you don't run into the vehicle in front of you from how insensitive it makes the brakes! Scared the heck out of myself furst time I tried it, and especially when I turned it on by mistake!

"Odd Rods" stickers. I had that one on the door to my room as a kid in the late 60s, along with the decal from the Hot Wheels Club (I still have the chrome Custom Mustang) and a few Wacky Packages.

There are exceptions! But it's the Dead who literally got their first break at Ken Kesey's Electric Acid Kool Aid Tests ...

Two thoughts: 1. This has a flathead, right? 2. LSD was more a Dead thing than a Floyd thing.

Yesterday I had the CEL come on (solid) on my 24 hybrid, soon after a several mile downhill. When my son drove it several hours later he noticed a smell which he thought was similar to ozone. Seems to be driving just fine though. I just checked the code and it is P237F. Has anyone here had...

Go watch Louis Rossman's YouTube channel. He talks about DMCA and right to repair a lot.

There are kits to add a key lock. (I don't have one since a. I have a tonneau and b. all I store there is an elastic tie down web.) Eventually I'll probably get a second cubby for the driver's side and will out a fire extinguisher in it.

Yes, since you can see it go off when you open the door once your battery gets weak - that's the first symptom, even before loss of dome lights or sleep mode.. You can get a USB charger that also displays the voltage, which is what I did. I spent a little extra to get what seems to be a nicer...

Ok, I can clarify: they're "better about **cell phone distracted** driving." Maybe they're distracted other ways, and yeah, they're certainly not as tuned in to their vehicles as we were. But IME they're less likely than their parents to text while doing 45 in a school zone. I have three...

My truck has a less severe version of the problem, even with starting it daily. On mine, I don't get the sleep mode, and the dome lights work, but the 12v accessory circuit shuts off when you exit the truck ( it should stay on for 40 minutes). I wouldn't have noticed except that that is the...

Maybe focus on teaching the service advisors how to communicate - how to return calls, how to send a status email or DM when the fix will take longer than predicted (especially on a Friday afternoon). And maybe teach the techs not to be cranky....

Some would say both ...

That's my biggest beef when my wife drives the Maverick. Ain't gonna get 600 miles by any stretch of the imagination, and probably not 500. (Of course it's not just the hybrid; when she drives our CRV it gets mileage that you'd expect from an Expedition or Yukon.)

It's the 30, 40 and 50 year olds who are more glued to their phones *while driving*. The younger ones are on them at all other times, but IME are better about distracted driving. I think they're been taught to be afraid of driving, at least here in the crazy car centric suburbs.

"Allows" being the operative word -it doesn't make it happen, it just allows it. Few will do it. They're not professionals with hundreds of hours of training. I think this thread demonstrates that well. (Hanging weights on the wheel? Really??. What would your airline say if you did that on your...

Maverick sport mode does that too, but it's a lot more convincing. (Tow mode seems to do it also, but not as much )

Boy that's backwards from my experience. My Mazda6, the Miata my wife used to have, my Ford Courier (first vehicle!), and even my Cherokee have or had hydraulic clutches that were easy on my leg.
