  1. For what they paid for a Focus, if their engine fails the pressure test, they deserve new cars, not new engines.
  2. Completely gutted. We disconnected electric and air and bulldozers literally pushed the robots and machines out the back door. Never seen anything like it and I wished that I had taken pictures of the piles sitting in the back yard. If I were to describe to you how high they were you'd never believe me. When it wad all said and done the building was down to bare steel.
  3. I wish. Made less per hour back then but still managed to bring more profit sharing home.
  4. I learned a lesson with my wifes 2017 Escape. Don't buy the first year anything. Good luck being the guinea pig with that 8-speed.
  5. Ford used to have representatives on a lot of online forums. Most would help escalate warranty claims and help with special order tracking. Seems about a year or so ago funding for that program got cut and the accounts went dark.
  6. I have to agree with Phil here. I live on the border of Michigan and Ohio, and buy from a dealer in Ohio. Ohio requires a front plate, Michigan does not. I've told my salesperson before that if my vehicle has the front plate installed that I won't take delivery of it. I usually find them in the trunk or hatch wrapped in plastic.
  7. It was cut from the Escape too. It was the first thing my wife noticed when she opened the door to her new 2018 the day we traded her 2017 in. Sorry you didn't like them Fuzzy. One of the neat little touches I like about my car.
  8. It was donated to and sold for charity. Seems Ford knows and authorized it.
  9. It's defiantly a 4x4. If you look at the thumbnail I posted, I believe the second row is correct too.
  10. Dug through the order and I think the bucket seats were ordered. Best way to know is to probably look at the DORA.
  11. He's known around the plants as Jim Hatchet. Seems he wants all budgets cut by a certain percentage this year by any means possible.
  12. It can't be the best without a dog. If you want to be mushy and have your commercial all packed with feels, this one is the best.
  13. You have to admit, they have the best commercials no matter how you feel about their vehicles.
  14. Mine took about a month to update from 1.0 to 2.0 on my Focus over WiFi. I wish it would have stayed at 1.0. It worked better. Then a month or so when 2.3 wad released. Still wish it was at 1.0. Be careful for what you wish for. You just might get it.
  15. Now add in all the stuff you have to include to meet US crash ratings, all the new standards features and the beefed up frame. You're in F150 territory.
  16. The lightest SC F-150 4x2 is about 4500lbs with the 2.7, 4600 for the Crew with the same engine. If the Ranger is heavier than that, while using the smaller engine, then Ford is doing this truck half-assed by not going full aluminum.
  17. Here's a graphic. States Ranger will not be in showrooms until next February. They should have revealed it next year.
  18. 5 if you want to take it directly to the dealer afterwards. 33,000 miles on my Focus last year 33k / 12 months = 2750 miles a month 4 months = 11k miles 5 months = 13.3k miles I bought my Focus on November 4th 2016. I currently have 38,620 miles on it. Here's a snapshot of my fuelly log. Doing it since day 1.
  19. I personally think everybody in that article is crooked, but nobodies personal net worth is mentioned in that article. It mentions amounts held by nonprofit "charities" and training centers. Now, prove that they hid assets and bribes in that charity, and you have another story.
  20. He's talking about the week after. If you don't work the day preceding and after a holiday and aren't excused for them, you lose your holiday pay. By working on January 3rd instead of the 2nd they lost their holiday pay for the 1st. Somebody dropped the ball. Either the union for not realizing what they were agreeing to or the people in labor for not excusing everybody on the 2nd.
