After 2 years, I’m back!

Not to get too far off topic here, but since significant money is spent to subsidize the fossil fuel industry, we could reduce that subsidy and use that money to maintain roadways instead.

Likewise, while keeping this on topic, regarding vehicles and road maintenance, I think that electric vehicles are getting a free ride and there should be a way to get them to pay their fair share of road maintenance that the rest of us using gasoline and diesel are paying for.

And by the way, in regards to subsidies, to correct a widely spread falsehood, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service and the Energy Information Administration, wind and solar alone received more taxpayer cash during the past 18 years than the oil, coal, and natural-gas sectors combined, despite producing only a fraction of the nation's energy.

Welcome back to the MTC! Nice truck.

Nearly two years ago I traded my 23 cyber orange, heavily modified Maverick for a 24 F150. Last month I sold my F150 and bought a nice 2012 Fusion that I was planning to drive for a while as it was paid for. I couldn’t live without all the tech we’ve all become used to. So yesterday, I purchased a 25 eruption green 2.0 awd XLT with black appearance package. This is the color I special ordered, but wound up with the F150. I work for a dealer so we found this one close by and did a dealer trade. The deal was too good to pass up and with ford special rates right now, it was cheap. So I’m back. Not sure what the future holds as far as mods. I am going to install my original leather wrapped wheel from my hybrid in this truck for sure though. The 2.0 feels very spry compared to my hybrid. My state charges too many extra fees for hybrid so I learned that lesson last time. Anyways, here it is. Glad to be back! Also, keeping that Fusion as a spare…it’s too good to let go.

Over the weekend I lowered my truck. Dropped it on Goodwin springs and also used spc adjustable rear arms to get the alignment dialed back in. These ride way better than the eibach kit on my last Maverick. Just about have it where I want it now. Really enjoying this Maverick a bunch. Like having my old one back, only with more punch under the right foot.

Mabett needs to make some fender skirts to reduce the rear fender gap on the Mavericks

Loss of gas tax revenue. Lots of states do this.

In Texas a few year back required safety inspection for the annual tag/registration which had $7.00 state fee. Inspection has been eliminated for license renewal so now that fee is shown on renewal receipt as $7.00 "Inspection replacement fee" fee!

Phew… I thought this was going to be a “truck or the girl” scenario.

I'm going to miss her, when I get home.

Isn't it nice I have the FREEDOM to live where I wish.

Not if CA and NY have anything to say about it!

it's only been a few years since the telephone excise tax finally got a stake thorough it. It was to fund the Spanish American war, and just kind of stuck around . . .
