Nice retirement present! Enjoy! HRG

My wife & I did the Labor Day walk on the Mac a few years ago, even with a nominal 10-15mph breeze, surprising how much movement we felt. HRG

My Maverick has the same M14 x 1.5 size studs, and they recommend 142 lb/ft or 200 Nm. HRG

Been on the Maverick bandwagon since the start, and currently on my 3rd, but it surprises me how many people bought a Maverick not because it seats 4, or can haul a bunch of mulch or tow a trailer, but because it was a fairly inexpensive hybrid. There seems to be a LOT of buyers who bought just for the MPG/$$$ equation. It would not surprise me if a 2-door, 2-seat vehicle like the Slate would be popular, IF the price is low enough. HRG

But what is the point when Ford is already selling 100K Bronco Raptors? You mean $100K (cost, not volume) right? HRG

Does he know you've ordered a Boxster rather than a GTD? HRG

Honestly, somebody needs to go to prison with the market manipulation going on. I hope behind the scenes those who can are looking at the buy/sell activity in the hour or 2 before a tweet goes out. HRG

Widebody, body kit? They know not what they speak,,,,,, HRG

Congrats and welcome. I'm on my 3rd Maverick, for my purposes it does the job. HRG

Time to start bookmarking some in-stock vehicles, and see if the dealers get greedy once again. HRG

Before we give the CE1 team any trophies, let's see the results first. No doubt, the "book of knowledge" may not be the most efficient way to do things, but those lessons were learned over time and fine-tuned. Look at how many people were happy with the Mavericks' speed of development, yet look at the recall history of the first 3 years. HRG

If you have the 7+4 USCAR trailer connector, you can add this harness and give yourself a 2nd flat-4, then add a set of magnetic lights for the time being. https://www.curtmfg.com/part/55384 https://www.amazon.com/MaxxHaul-80778-Magnetic-Trailer-Approved/dp/B078GNDQQH/ref=asc_df_B078GNDQQH?mcid=140053355f023aefa7ae0d75289320b3&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693600373374&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16240179425963078659&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9021553&hvtargid=pla-537017216051&th=1 HRG

Maverick had a shipping hold after the new version went into production, can't sell what you don't ship. Plus the MY24 XL's & XLT's are STILL under a stop sale due to the reverse camera issue. I'm surprised they found 8K Lariats to sell,,,,, HRG

I had an early production Expy XLT, got to see it go down the assembly line at the MTP. You could tell the early production models, they had a mirror-bronze window tint, late '97's going into MY98 had the more traditional smoke tint. HRG

I enjoyed the in-car cameras that ran full time on the IMSA website, both in the #64 Mustang and the #3 (I think) Corvette. Back in the mid-80's, went to what was then called the SunBank 24 at Daytona, slept in the back of my Ranger pickup. Hit a heckuva snow/ice storm in GA on the way back home. HRG

As well as the 1.5L 4 banger. HRG

Like us, he's retired, so I doubt he cares anymore. But I just can't see CAP being rewarded with any kind of new product. Of course, the UAW will think differently. HRG

Good luck. I jumped in around late '18, when it dipped below $10. Then the pandemic hit, dropped into the $4's, then they suspended the dividend. Had to wait a while to get my original investment back. HRG

A gold "Notre Dame" edition would be nice,,,,,,,,, HRG

Really? You think the Utility is supplying that electricity for free? Somebody is getting a bill to pay every month. HRG

IMO, both articles mention the $405/space AFTER the $2000/space incentive from the Utility, so I'm not understanding the confusion? It probably cost me about $200-250 to add a 50 amp 14-50 socket to my garage, just in case a visitor needed a charge. HRG

Understood, but Dealer trades are a 2-way street. His Dealership has to be willing to give up a high in-demand vehicle, maybe what they are offering isn't good enough, yet. HRG

Why is it so important to dealer trade? Head to Baltimore and drive one home. HRG
