my new house was built as 2,000 sq ft, and later got a 750 sq ft addition, for a total of 25,000 . . . House 250, Math 0!

Blindly believing the odometer? 😜 Your arteries, colon, and other assorted organs thank you! :teehee:

It rather obviously means that your Maverick is low on warnings. Stop by your dealer to have your warnings topped off ASAP! :facepalm:

It's mostly good, and I have it on most of the time. But it definitely has its quirks, like the 100% failure rate on school zone signs, the gross overreaction to a decelerating vehicle ahead of me (or in the next lane).' It's certainly useful, but you have to keekeep your eyes on it. And you...

Nah, he's just feeding all those solar panels back through the power sockets in the bed. (well, at least until he blows a fuse, or. . . .)

Trailer? And all my wasted effort trying to figure out how he was going to keep the Harley balanced on two wheels? 🤔

not as bad as conflating the diminutives "-let" and "-ette" into "trucklette"! :eek: The sale of shredded cheese has been banned as part of the campaign to Make America Grate Again! :rolleyes: yeah, the bit about wearing short-shorts and a bustier to use that rope is a deal breaker! 😲

What??? And not be able to flip the visor back down for instructions mid-roll??? :eek: :eek: Nah, that's OCD! :teehee: And now it occurs to me . . . taking off those stickers would let you put on your own with more "favorable" rules. :crackup:

does the 26 lariat do that? [shudder] Our 25 lariat is fairly mediocre at picking up most of the signs, but not well enough to even consider letting it change speed based on it! In particular, it can't distinguish that a sign is "when children are present". it also sometimes picks up signs...

oddly, the '72 chevy 400 only had a two barrel carb, rather than a quadrajet. I think that the 402 (yes, they offered both!) big block had the quadrate, though. Still, at 145 years old and about 150k miles, it left a 12 or 15 foot track of rubber from a start once . . .

I'll take that a bit farther: the variation among top tier, and the variation among not, are both small compared to the gap between the least top tier and the worst other. (kind of like the difference between coffee being 100% arabica, or not [yet Starbucks is proof that you can ruin pure...

Maybe he means that it spoiled the roof? 😜

Not unless that air hammer can be set for shutoff at the proper torque! Years ago, the mechanic left a dangling hot wire while doing some work on my car--an Impala 40. Accelerating onto the freeway, dangling wire followed Mr. Newton's laws and touched ground behind it. So no spark for a...

so KR/Limited/Platinum trim. We would have bought higher than Lariat had it been available.

somewhere above, but I can't find it again, was the comment that the dealer can't change the doc fee. This is by law in some states (including mine) to prevent discrimination. When the local dealer matched Granger on my order, they reduced the sales price to make up for their higher doc fee...

But here it's in addition to the doc fee! I've never been asked for that--but I generally leave the lot when I see "ADM" on the windows. The second mouse gets the cheese!

There's no "consider" to it. Top Tier is a standard from a consortium of auto makers (Cadillac, Japan, Germany), and was created when they were going to release higher compression engines in the early 90s. It specifies primarily detergent levels that must be present, so that they could count...

Now, now. Let's be fare. It wasn't a GM design,. but a joint Ford & GM design. This lets ford off the hook because, uhm . . . never mind . . . 😜 [Although ford also jointly developed an engine with Mazda back when it owned a lot of it. The Mazda 2.0 and Ford 2.5 are the same engine--but Ford...

I'm an uncommon 6'2", having 6' legs (32" inseam) and 6'4" torso (36" sleeves). I drive my wife's Maverick with sunroof with no issue at all--while wearing a full 5" brim western hat.

That could depend: sun is far harder on tricot paint, and there's no saving it once it has any fade. Metalic tri-coat has a layer of base color, then the sprinkled metallic, and then the plastic protection over that. When it fades from UV, you simply can't buff the color layer, as there are...
