    Thumbs up for Parks Ford

    I had my 2023 OuterBanks serviced this morning for its oil change (still have free oil changes) and its maintenance checkup. Parks Ford in Gainesville Fl sent a mobile unit to my work to perform the service. They were excellent, and asked me after the service if I had any concerns or questions...

    Curious as to how many have had/have brake noise

    I have owned my 2023 BS Outer banks since new, and have never experienced the dreaded brake whale moan, so I thought I'd start a poll to see how many here have had this issue. Edit: Just turned over 6K in miles....still no moaning yet.

    Got the PCM recall programing done

    Parks Ford in Gainesville Florida gets a big thumbs up for quick and courteous handling of the recall. My appointment was for 8:15 AM. I got there early (7:30) with a breakfast in hand. They had me out by 8:00 AM! I had asked them to also look at the feature for drifting off to the side and not...

    Tired of reading negative on the 1.5's?

    I am. As soon as I detect a negative, such as "Its junk", or "Don't buy..." I immediately disconnect from it. Sure, forums are for giving the good and bad on an experience, but when member call something junk, this is when I turn off. I've been on dozens of automotive and RV forums over the...

    What is your favorite cruising song?

    In responding to a Lunatic Fringe post, it made me ask this... What's your all time favorite cruising song in your favorite vehicle you have owned? The song that puts your mind back into a timeframe you'd relive all over again and not change a thing? Mine is (while driving the 67 Camaro)...

    Parks Ford in Gainesville Fl

    What other car/transportation projects are you working on?

    Other than the Bronco, what other vehicle/transportation projects are you working on? For me, its my 67 Camaro. Currently replacing its carb and intake manifold with correct date coded carb and manifold. It took me a few years to locate all the correct and date coded OEM stuff, but I finally...

    Merry Christmas to all

    What was your favorite vehicle?

    Other than a Bronco Sport, what has been your most favorite vehicle you've owned? Would you like it back if it were possible? For me, it was a 74 Pontiac Trans AM, SD 455. Bought it in 1978, two years into my college life. I owned it for almost a year, and had to sell it, as the car got me in...

    What is everyone wanting to see under the Christmas tree this year?

    For me, I'd like a warm jacket. UF baseball starts in February, and we have some night games during our Florida cold season. And of course, world peace, brotherly love, and all that stuff that would most likely never happen.

    I get this letter from Ford

    In the letter, it said my VIN fell into a group of BS's that did not get carpeted floor mats while being assembled, and wants to now have me go to my dealership and have them installed. Apparently there was a shortage at the time of assembly, and now they are available. I have a 2023 Outer Banks...

    Interesting liquid cooled rotary engine

    Small engine now, but car market potential. https://invest.liquidpiston.com/?utm_source=DMRliquidpistonlandingpage&utm_medium=googlediscoveryp&utm_campaign=151909736307&utm_content=668725518472&utm_term=c&tnames=googlediscoveryp{9011720}{20106919351}{151909736307}{c}{668725518472}

    I have come to a conclusion....

    I have a trouble free 2023 BS Outer Banks edition. We have under 2000 miles on it to date, and bought it 5 months ago. Again no issues so far. I like it. So does the wife. Drives great, gets good gas mileage, looks good. However, had I joined this forum prior to its purchase and read through...

    Keeping your Bronco Sport how long?

    Interested in how long you plan to keep a Bronco Sport as one of your rides. Me? I average around 1 to 4 years with a new car, but this one could be a keeper.
