Not for a second. But it's still nice to pretend it is so. Monthly trip into town yesterday for errands and such, including making an appointment at the dealer for recall servicing. First stop made was about 16 miles from home (almost all downhill, maximum speed limit on any section is 55)...

Far from anything approaching a necessity, nevertheless a handy doodad to aid in taming the inevitable clutter. Maverick Glove Box Organizer.

Couple of items which caught the eye. 1) Kia Tells 72,000 Sportage Owners To Park Away From Homes And Cars Over Fire Risk 2) Insane Nissan Z Markups Exceeding $50,000 Over MSRP Frustrate Consumers

Allow me to initially state have owned an XL hybrid for just shy of seven months now and don't drive all that much, passing a grand total of 400 miles since I first picked up the truck as of yesterday. Have let it sit idle in the garage for two or even three weeks at a stretch and, although...

Water bottles? Fooey. That's what the cupholders are for. Stumbled across these catch-all bins on Amazon. As the floor of the front door pockets is not flat, things stored there can either be tippy or rattle around, however these little bins are long enough to rest on what protrusions there are...

Not a color I might have considered, however saw not one but two of these the other day for the first time ever and it is surprisingly attractive, even modestly snazzy. A smidgen darker when seen in person than the pictures suggest. Would work on the Maverick as well, methinks.

Made the monthly sojourn into town today to run errands and such. What should nudge in front of me into my lane but another hybrid Maverick. First time seeing one of any configuration here apart from my own. Could not determine the trim as only eyeballed it from the rear, but did take note the...

No doubt mentioned already but worthy of an independent post regardless, methinks.

Recently installed a dual USB port whatchamacallit in the cigarette lighter receptacle. Purposely chose a model with only an understated blue ring lighting its perimeter and no digital display, however have need of only one of the USB slots. While can understand why the ports are illuminated...

Took the Maverick home from the dealer March 21. July 12, received a card in the mail from the dealer stating that "according to their records" the vehicle is coming due for a 5000 miles maintenance servicing. In reality, just a smidgen over 222 miles total on the odometer as of July 12. Still...

Strictly FYI.

Couple of videos with which to pass the time. 1) Let's all meet back here in 2032 and check, okay? 2) Valid, if less crucial, points. Over time what is initially deemed cumbersome may morph into becoming second nature. And a bonus just for fun (video in Spanish). Does that exterior...

XLT hybrid. Nothing much we haven't seen before. But they're sure a buoyant couple.

Water is wet, sky is blue, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. High prices, low inventory, a new norm for car shoppers

Done and done. 1) Rinse off any loose surface grime and debris, hand wash, rinse again, towel dry. 2) Apply spray ceramic coat. Following spray bottle instructions for initial application: two applications, 24 hours apart. The spray is, frankly, magical. Trick is to spritz it very sparingly...

Not me, not my vehicle, just something happened to find online while scooting here and there on the 'net.

1) Steering wheel cover with dashboard blue/Area 51 accents 2) Screen cubby disguise in matching dashboard blue. May leave it as is, or stick on magnets, or possibly use mini S hooks or even maybe even use it a ball point pen and pencil holder. Used a leftover piece from installing door edge...

Reminder that Ford's latest Maverick public relations dog and pony show is today at 7 p.m. Eastern time. Set expectations for any substantive information to low, IMHO.

Around the edge and curving around to run across the bottom of the front doors. With my lifestyle don't anticipate ever having passengers in the back seat who will be opening the rear doors from the inside of the cab. Little protection against being on the receiving end of dings, mostly for...
