  1. So What Did You Learn to Drive In?

    OMG. Reading 1970 Ford Maverick made me truly lol. When I worked with USDA we had a maverick as a work vehicle. The places we took thar car. ? And the steering. We never knew where it would take us. Thank you for the memory.
  2. So What Did You Learn to Drive In?

    1968 Pontiac Executive. I remember failing the drivers ed 3 point turn. That beast of a car was as big as the turn bay.
  3. Has anyone else dealt with 12v battery issue?

    I just got an email last night. My dealer has the new batteries.
  4. Rear Door Open...Open...Open

    Do you just throw your fob into a purse or bag? I found I need to put my fob in a place where it won't get banged around by other stuff in the bottom of my purse. Otherwise I get the intermittent back hatch won't open.
  5. Roadside assistance

    Ford navigation tried to kill me once so I figured Ford Roadside assistance wasn't the way to go. But I thought I would ask the group. I ended up with AAA.
  6. Really?

    I did have the water pump replaced once. Otherwise, no problems. I don't even have the backup fog horn noise. I've been curious if those of us who pre ordered our sports have had less trouble. Or if it's just the luck of the draw.
  7. Roadside assistance

    Thank you. I went with plus. It was the best fit.
  8. Really?

    Besides the recalls everyone has had, I have not had any issues. The only thing I would change on my OB is the towing capacity. I wish it had just a bit more.
  9. Really?

    I had a 2001 escape. First one delivered to my area. First year for them. I loved that vehicle. When I sold it, it was 15 years old and had 378,000 miles. She was the reason I had no hesitation on buying a first model year Sport.

    Thank you!
  12. Roadside assistance

    I just got my first flat tire. My husband passed 14 months ago, so I had a go of it myself. I could do everything but loosen the lug nuts. Luckily a nice young gentleman stopped to help. I noticed Ford Roadside assistance stops at 5 years/60,000 miles. I'm at 64,000. You can still call, but...
  13. Hiking Dog picture thread

    Yes. I did the embark test. I also did it on one of my old dogs. I swore he was a mix of a border Collie and some shepherd type dog. Ha. He was chow, springer spaniel and poodle. That explained the crazy fur.
  14. What else do you drive?

    2000 BMW Z3 and I recently inherited my late husband's jeep wrangler.
  15. Hiking Dog picture thread

    Not sure about Australian Shepherds and loyalty. Andi is, in order most to least, Australian Cattle dog, Rottweiler, miniature Australian Shepherd, Border Collie and Great Pyrenees. She looks like an Aussie, but acts like a Border Collie. She was the only one of this color in her litter...
