I got an email telling me I can go order my Bronco. What doesn't jive is that I was told it would be next year, so I'm not sure there isn't a mistake. I'm about to move, and after that I'll give the dealer a call. If I can really get one this year it'll be time for me to sell the Ranger while...

No highway for me to speak of

Yeah, but you also said wide

You can see my FX4 mileage in my signature. It’s not that good.

I had a quote of $500 to repair the seats in my Fusion

I told this story before, but I remember running into a Toyota convert in the early 90s with my father. He bragged he had a GM prior and never changed the oil in years, then the engine blew. He was sold on the Toyota because they flat out told him if he didn't change the oil he'd void the...

I'm sure they could, I swear my Ranger sounds just like a 302 v8

Another problem is that the officials in charge are unwilling to tow vehicles and put stickers on them instead. A few expensive tows will get the word out.

Where's the english sign?

I have to admit, until you said between your ears I thought that was going a different direction.

I agree with your thinking, but I've been in the world long enough to know there are a lot of stupid people who won't think that through. Around 1998 there was a huge ice storm in the Northeast, I was near the Canadian border in NY. No power for something like 9 days, and being fairly rural no...

I suppose that works on a vehicle with a motor in addition to the electric one, but an all electric would be screwed.

I foresee people using their vehicles thinking they’ll be back in power shortly and then being stranded. Luckily I’m about to have a standby generator and I’ll be getting a backup generator for our summer place soon enough.

So, in a multi-day power outage, you can power your home, but then what if you have to go somewhere and your battery is dead?

I think you're right, just like hiking and camping have had such a huge increase in popularity. It used to be that people would go hiking once a week, now it seems like we have weekend warriors everywhere, and all those people are driving their overlanders offroad too. You should see the White...

That won't matter, the counter to that is they'll do it on foot after the trails are closed, only need to do it once, and save the rivers and streams. The way to win will be to come to a compromise, find out what their big issues are and how to mitigate them. The alternative for them will be...

Hmm, with an all electric F-150 will it have storage in the front instead of an engine? That would be fantastic.

The key is probably a powered RFID that the car can pickup when it's working, when it isn't the specific location is close enough to power the RFID itself, allowing the vehicle to function. Either that or bluetooth, bluetooth LE usually only works in very close proximity. If it is bluetooth...

We had 84 acres growing up with several roads/trails on it. I remember someone from the EPA once came to the house and demanded that I, a 13 year old, take them back on the trails so that they could inspect for illegal use. That was wrong on so many levels. That was in 1989, so this is nothing...
