I had a student that had a Honda Civic tuner car. He had some kind of super duper alarm that he claimed would prevent any theft. Going to his car one morning he tripped over the alarm on his door mat and the car was gone. A real FU from the thieves.
I was lucky. I stop riding at least two hours before sunset now. Your description of Texas deer behavior is spot on. They are surprisingly unconcerned by traffic.
Deer are evil. Glad it wasnāt worse for you.
I hit one going about 75 on a motorcycle in west Texas about dusk. I woke up two days later in the hospital not remembering anything for about a week leading up to the deer strike. Eventually I got back everything up to about noon that day. Itās a...
The subprime mortgage crisis closed many dealers in small towns across Texas. There arenāt many true small town dealers left today. I suspect it was the same in other states.

The way ford is dropping previously provided features, I wouldnāt be surprised if they drop apple CarPlay too. I donāt use it in my F150, but Iām really liking the wireless connection in the bronco sport.
I'm surprised how peppy my 2025 Badlands feels. No complaints about power or power delivery. Now, if number 5 on the list comes to pass it'll be great.
