Isn't whether or not a maverick was totaled in a minor collision one of those "If you have to ask . . ." questions?

thanks. It was supposedly four years ago, but . . . OK, somewhat my fault, as I took a couple of interesting thing referred to me from serious sources, and then a couple more that mattered to referring friends. But, still, yikes! As of a day or so ago, I'm wrapping up one of the two...

uhh, yeah, I am a lawyer, though I'm trying to get the last couple of cases closed because I'm supposed to be retired. :crackup: but showing what, if any, partial fault comes down to evidence, all of which depend upon the cameras and back boxes

:eek: OK, toss value of actually reading that slop. "The advertised capacity for the 2.0L EcoBoost™ engine (excluding Hybrid models)" or maybe the owner's manual is updated by AI (which would explain some of the other reported oddities). Either that, or we all missed out on the hybrid...

Nooooo! :eek: :eek: :eek: I just returned a Honda rav4 type loaner (yes, I'm now on the fourth loaner for my daughter's carmax Jeep that through warnings on the way home!). Anyway, we had three or four times where it hung around in a bizarrely low gear, doing things like 4krpm while coasting...

I don't know about the big blocks, but apparently it's far easer (and cheaper) to put a chevy small block into a classic ford than a ford engine. Most of the ford rat-rods have chevy engines & transmissions. That it should be prosecuted as a crime against Americana is a whole separate issue . . .

It can go both ways, though. In one of my final cases, as old clients kept coming up with things to put it off, one was hit. The kid that did it not only lied, but got his cousin to lie. They claimed my client swerved out to the right of his lane while he was making a left turn (while in fact...

Let me guess: this came from an AI . . .

speaking from my experience as an attorney, and not giving legal advice . . . It may be worth keeping your own insurance involved--particularly if the other company is one of the low-end, sketchy places. They get it fixed, and collect from the other company. This also has the advantage of your...

It's Bell Physics. Whether a little bell or a great church bell, it can only Ding once until reset by a Dong. 😜 It beats the old Chrysler version, though. I had the whole car unlocked and the engine running while loading into the back. In a blizzard. I closed the tailgate, and it responded...

I think my head might explode from driving an automatic in which you brake to downshift! :eek: (then again, I'm never happy without a clutch in anything but a big Cadillac . . .) [and I loathe two speed automatics even more!] {now get off my lawn!}

Don't do it. We let an AI scan ours, and it led to heartbreak. 💔 The maverick ran away with the AI . . .

Didn't your mama teach you not to ask questions unless you wanted to know the answer? 🤔 You don't want to know the answer to this one! :eek: trust me. I may never sleep again after finding out! :crackup:

"View the fence, Luke."

Get off our lawns! *sigh* It happens in the best of families . . . 🤭 I really don't understand this notion that I guy can get buy with a single classic car. I mean, really, you need a 70s convertible, a roadster, a convertible pony car, a 50s convertible, something from the 20s, and maybe...

The good news is that a maverick with 4k can tow the thread over to the towing subforum! 😜 [y'all with 2k are stuck here!] At might height, I need a California King for the length, so . . Anyway, I never expected to tow with it, but ordered the 4k package (which wasn't much for a lariat)...

Model TT fenders, of course!

it's the stitching that makes it perfect! But then I'd have to have someone restitch my wife's Lariat to match . . . 😜

Back in the 1990s, I had the same conversation over and over with different clients. "Mr. Hawkins, my sears bill is wrong." "And how is that?" "That's what I borrowed, and that was two or three years ago." "Let's see. You have an interest rate of 21%, or 1.75% per month, and you always make...

No guts, no glory. Put the JATO in the bed. You know you want to! :crackup:
