Married in 1980 right out of college. Separated 1981. Divorced 1982.
Married again 1990.
Saw my first wife's name on a list of deceased alumni in 2015. Did a search and saw she died in 2004 at 46. Last saw her in a bookstore in the early '80s. She didn't see me. Still very sad at her...
Sidewall can make a big difference.
Recently purchased new tires for my '22 Escape because of a sidewall bubble. Changed the OE H-rated Bridgestone to V-rated Continental CrossContact LX25. Should have stiffer sidewall. Noticeable road feel difference. Crisper handling.
Probably will do transmission, PTU, and RDU around 30k on both Escape and BS. Procedures seem much more mechanic friendly compared to my 3G Escape according to Fordtechmakuloco videos.
My wife won a 2012 Escape Hybrid Limited at work in 2011. Atkinson cycle engine. Liked it a lot.
32.4 mpg over 100,000 miles to 2022 when we sold it. Very pleased with the mileage for a BS-shaped vehicle.
We do a 670-mile trip each way six or so times a year. Full EV doesn't work for us.
Issue with VWs 30 years ago with only opening the sunroof. Flemington VW/Porsche/Audi/BMW, NJ, had a brochure from VW on the flutter in a stand at the service counter. Remedy was to open a window a little.
That's a contributing factor against the very low miles Edge ST my salesman had me test drive when the Escape I ordered was delivered. Aged platform with just refreshes.
Dealership had a very, very low miles Edge ST as a trade-in when the Escape I ordered was delivered. Repeat customer that bought it didn't fit well in the front seats.
I test drove it before completing purchase of my Escape. Nice vehicle. Older platform overdue for redesign influenced my...
Folks in Europe on the Escape forum post owning a Kuga diesel with a stick. That would be fun.
No sense in Ford bringing it over for the three of us that would buy it. 😀
I had a 2011 VW JSW TDI with a stick before my '14 Escape. Fun car. Dieselgate vehicle. 😀
My wife and I do a 1,500-mile trip multiple times annually. May be seven or so times together or individually.
Not interested in 17 mpg highway.
My wife loves her Badlands. No way she would trade it in for Bronco.
We're Metrowest Boston. Commented to a salesman that the sticker on the lot...
