The New World Order.
You buy a new vehicle,
You have to finish building it.
If Ford would clean up, reorganize that RATS NEST of tubes and wires on top of the motor and make it all look somewhat cool the engine cover could fade into history like. Wing vents, bell bottoms and platform shoes. ;’P...
Possession, it’s all about possessing something that others may want or have and you don’t.
Can you imagine you open your hood and your buddy says, “Aww you didn’t get an engine cover, but I got mine!”
The Horror, the Horror of it all~~
‘Apocalypse Now’
Op it’s a fact that when this economy crashes next October people will get very needy, for food and clothing and housing.
There won’t be so many toys for us rich guys to buy.
It’s good you’re getting your capitalist consumer goods fetish out of your system now.
But this may make your...
Anybody know the tire weight of those slick OEM Continental 225’s that came stock on the lower trim BS’s ?
My 235 Yoko Geo’s are 32.9 pounds each
The 235 65 R17’s Toyo at3’s are 34 pounds,,,,
It makes a difference in terms of power, enjoyment and comfort (no vibration like with the 1.5, etc).
,,,,,
What vibration ?
My 1.5 doesn’t vibrate,
At all,
I’ve climbed some pretty steep stuff and my lowly 1.5 has yet to protest.
Yeah my next battery will be an Interstate. That spec has served me best over the years.
AGM’s will stand up to the higher drain when not in use much better BUT AGM’s do have a higher failure rate and you’ll drop twice the money.
I am resigning myself to a new battery every two to three years...
Yeah me too. Missing things, substitutes. Seemingly more recalls and problems? I dunno I’m prolly wrong but the 22’s had considerably more recalls and complaints than the 21’s and that’s a fact Jack !
So the 23’s ,, well patterns form,
Fractal images come to mind.
My old battery. resting VDC after 2 days sitting was 12.1 after one day 12.4 same day after a 35 mile drive 12.4. No sub system working.
My new battery after a 2 day sit is 12.9 and after. Drive 13.1.
BOTH auto stop/start AND remote start have been back online from then on.
The thing I noticed...
My dealer told me if it is a safety or possibly damaging thing as soon as they are notified my FordPass app on my phone will notify me. And state this.
Also any recall even non critical will show in my Ford pass app as soon as it’s released.
So it hits my app while someone is also seeing it and...
Op, I think of it like this:
Was it worth an extra 2 or 3 grand to get it now before things get worse?
Was it worth the extra coin to not have to go through a years worth if delays ?
Of course it was.
A couple grand over MSRP on these super cool little buggies is doable in this collapsing...
500 bazillion 2021 and 2022’s including base models have this bla bla recall.
Umpteen thousand 2021-2022’s
A threat of fire or brake stuff and the thing is gonna blow up.
I go in for an oil change every 5k miles and not one in 23 months has ever been on mine.
SO I take it from this it’s only a...
Yeah I’d love a front and rear tow hook I could mount by myself with my torque wrench and if I had to cut plastic I would hope it would be in an unseen place.
Yes it’s the exact same lowest cost Motorcraft battery that came from the factory but I must admit 700 CCA is not a bad spec.
And my Farts are always S. B. D’s
Uh that’s Silent but deadly to you uninitiated folks ;’P
Gas Gas Gas !!!
To those that know~
