Hobby: home renovations and furniture restoration

I'm getting the Maverick as a 2nd vehicle. I've had a truck in the past, and I miss it. It's an added expense and annoyance to have to rent a Uhaul to go to HomeDepot or the dump. Also, it'll be much easier to pick up pieces of furniture off the curb in a truck, rather than having to shove them in the back of a Chevy Cruze.

Lets try it this way. I'm 74. I'm a SCUBA instructor, Diver Medic, Cave diver, and retired ER Nurse from a level 1 trauma center in a major inner city hospital. I hold 4 BS and above degrees and as I stated previously my first was Sociology. My question comes from my experience with one of my Subaru STIs. On more than one occasion when getting out of my 2010 STI in a parking lot, passers by have stated that they were surprised to see someone my age get out of the STI. So now that I have ordered a Maverick I was curious as to the demographics of Maverick owners. Will I experience the same reaction, etc? Nothing more. One poster suggested that I should have conducted a poll. Had I know how to do that I would have...I'm 74 HELLO! So if someone out there wishes to assist me, than great, I am always accepting of help. Otherwise direct the negativity elsewhere.

Thats ok. Some might want to answer, but for me people already know where members live so asking age and occupation is more intrusive for personal safety.
Ok great...thats a piece of information I was unaware of. THANKS. I appreciate your information!

I'm 54. I work at a small family manufacturing business. The Maverick is the truck that I have been saying they should build for years. I've had large trucks in the past and miss the utility. I'm not interested, however, in 15 mpg vehicles as I drive quite a bit. I'm also hoping to retire, so spending 50-60k on a big truck doesn't work for me. So, here I am... on a Monday morning looking for any little piece of information that I can consume to give me hope that I will see my new truck before the leaves are falling next year. I went into this thinking I'm a patient person, but, turns out, not so much...

I would be interest to know members age and occupation.
I passed 30 many moons ago. And I occupy myself with many things. One of them is checking this site hoping to hear good news about our orders. :)

Aimed at no one in particular but the snowflakes have made a mess of social media and the sharing of information.

Literally everything seems to offend someone.
As I have unfortunately discovered...Thanks for the reply!
