  1. A Sign of Market Correction

    This is 100% correct and lines up with what the chair of Toyota has been saying for some time. We considered a RAV4 Hybrid but it was VERY underwhelming. I could however see a hybrid pickup in my future. But the fact is that the green lobby will not allow it, in their eyes all combustion fueled...
  2. Best Cooler for Multi Day Camping...

    I really like those little portable 12v coolers like you mentioned above @MJE but ran into an issue years ago using one camping in the summer: they usually drop about 40 degrees or so off ambient air temp. Camping in the summer my beer got warm and my hot dogs? Let's not go there. No bueno!
  3. A Sign of Market Correction

    Considering the average new car price in this country is nearly $50K that's not likely. Would be nice though. The government doesn't want it though. By mandating very expensive EV systems in cars, they artificially restrict sales to only those who can afford them, shoving more people into mass...
  4. A Sign of Market Correction

    Agreed- but the weight of the battery packs is substantial and might not have worked with the Maverick's lightweight chassis. Consider the F150 Lightning tips the scales at over 8200lbs (!!!) and the 3.5L EcoBoost SuperCab F150 weighs in at just over 5K lbs. That's a ton and a half MORE for...
  5. Best Cooler for Multi Day Camping...

    FWIW, if you consider the cost of the cooler, having to constantly buy ice, and potentially ruined food the 12v fridge/freezers are a much better option even with the higher up front cost. My HD Colemans claim 5-7 days of ice but that's all BS. Even if I use reusable ice packs or frozen jugs...
  6. What did you do TO your Bronco Sport today?

    Technically Sunday but here goes: 1. Redline hood struts. I hate the kickstand and usually do it to my vehicles almost immediately. Prime Day had them $20 off. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B095SW37XZ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details 2. Course Motorsports MagSafe cell phone mount. I have...
  7. A Sign of Market Correction

    I paid MSRP for ours 2 weeks ago, but I expected it with a Heritage Limited since Yellowstones were about as rare as hen's teeth. Of the 30+ Ford dealers within a 100 mile radius only 3 showed inbound vehicles a month ago when we settled on it. There aren't any factory options available aside...
  8. Motorweek: Heritage Limited

    Granted it was more her pick than mine, its growing on me the more I drive it. I would still like a full size but this is pretty fun and the color looks better and better the more I see it.
  9. Not long for this world

    Pigpen- I recently had a big scare with the big C as well. And I have similar thoughts about chemo and other treatments. I decided that if I was positive I was going full bore into alternatives instead of chemo/radiation/surgery. If medical cannabis is available where you are, Rick Simpson...
  10. First Blackstone Oil Report Test Results In for My 2.0 Bronco Sport!

    I send a sample to Blackstone on every oil change on my 140K mile e46 and was debating if sending a 1000 mile break in is worth it or if I should just wait until I hit the first normal 5K interval change. I think having read through this thread I'll sit tight until I get to the first full...
  11. Is MSRP still considered a fair market price?

    I paid MSRP on a Heritage Limited yesterday. Every dealer that was getting one was charging a market adjustment on them. I wasn't terribly happy paying sticker but given we couldn't find more than 3 Yellowstones within 100 miles and taking advantage of the the 2.9% over 60 from Ford Credit eased...
  12. Say Hello and Introduce Yourself! ?

    Howdy. Just picked up our Heritage Limited yesterday afternoon. So far so good. It is replacing her nearly 200K mile Crosstrek, our first new car in 10 years, but we're keeping that car until the wheels fall off. I'll be driving it mostly over the next few months as I recover from knee surgery...
