You mean it had nothing to do with being in debt up to our eyeballs and CONTINUING to spend like drunken sailors? You act as if raising the debt ceiling was the only possible solution. If your credit card is maxed out does the bank just keep raising your limit indeftinitely or do you stop spending? You're blaming the people who were trying to act rationally and frugally when you should have been blaming the ones who can't balance their checkbooks. And the Democrats did EXACTLY the same thing when the Republicans were in power. Everything you accuse the Republicans of doing is also done by the Democrats and sometimes they're worse. We're never going to get anywhere as long as both sides only care about defeating the other side.

I'm pretty sure that warning applies to all wheels now. Even the polished ones are usually clear coated. Also - there is most likely no mechanical linkage from the shifter to the transmission - it just sends an electronic signal to the PCM and the PCM tells the tranny when to shift. That's what keeps it from shifting when it's not safe.

Especially when one is Sheldon.

I thought they were still using flash but they enabled hardware acceleration for faster graphics. At least for now.

www.motorcraftservice.com -> owner guides -> 2012 Focus Should be the same interface.

No, no you're thinking of buzzards like the ones circling GM and Chrysler a few years ago.

Borg is like a crow - he's attracted to new and shiny things until the new and shiny wears off. Ooh - 3d icons!

Did they have bars on the front and lights on the roof?

I guess they just didn't spend enough time on the rear end........

You wouldn't just use an off the shelf version. You'd use your own version like Tivo does. Then again Tivo doesn't have externally connected devices to worry about. Besides - OS stability doesn't seem to be the problem with MFT - it's the app software.

Why is it annoying to have the lights come on?

I thought you were implying it was unstable. If you're talking about support for 3rd party development tools and device drivers for device connectivity then I can see where that might be a problem.

And we're reasonably sure that's exactly what Ford is working on - a small truck built on a shared platform that gets great fuel mileage. We just don't think that T6 fits the bill.

It's not the OS - it's the application software.

Why do you keep lumping rental fleet with non rental fleet? They are entirely different things.

Go to Build and Price. Select Titanium. See if you can find an option for a stand alone backup camera. If you can't then it doesn't exist. If you can then it does exist. It will only take 5 minutes and you'll have the definitive answer. Nobody has much experience with a 2013 Escape so the only way for us to answer your question is to do what I just described.

6k virtual servers say yes, it IS working.

Why don't you go to Ford.com and research it yourself? No need to rely on what the dealer tells you - the information is readily available. It does appear that the salesman is correct at least on the SEL.

10? I assume they're counting the CTS as 3 (sedan, coupe, wagon)? ATS, XTS and flagship make 6. Escalade, SRX. That's 8. Volt is 9. Compact crossover is 10?

My daughter's focus has one. It's a little annoying but very easy to take off and put back on even with the front wheels on ramps in the driveway.

The first Tivo DVR was built on a linux kernel (and still is AFAIK). Stable as a rock. Red Hat Enterprise Linux is very stable and on a x86 virtualized infrastructure is rapidly replacing Solaris, HP-UX and AIX in corporate computing. The only drawback right now is a limited max server size due to x86 limitations.

It's optional but I don't understand the point.

This isn't good.

I knew somebody would say that. Touche!
