I bought mine Nov of 22, I paid $61.00, so that is a huge increase in price.

Hood struts and 'Ecoboost' badging!
My '21 came with hood struts, no Ecoboost badging. If it did, I would have removed them along with the dealer stickers. Instead I put these, just as tacky but people know what turbo means. You'd be surprised that many don't know that Ecoboost means turbo.

Well not everything has changed. We cover topics for the 4th or 5th time now. But seeing as how the 6g is now out and the 5g is a used vehicle, change was bound to happen. The shark has been jumped.
I'm waiting to see this new Taco Turbo Hybrid... Might be a trade in the future. :)

Ford's (any many other's) excuse was 'supply chain issues'. They couldn't get parts due to C-19, so deleted it from the package, but didn't reduce prices on vehicles due 'supply and demand'.

When you go to Walmart and most of the 'Great Value' items are sold out, you know things are bad.

The only thing you can do is stop buying it. Cardboard food is no good anyways. I eat 6 eggs every morning and my blood tests are perfect. Though I have chickens still eggs here cost $4 for 30. A bag of potato chips is $6 and a package of pork chops is the same? Why eat this garbage, cereal and chips? Why shop at Walmart?

I buy things like soap, coffee and seeds from local sellers or sellers that agree with me. I find out silly things like Dove soap is anti-White. So now I have to avoid buying Dove soap. I have not been to Walmart in years ever since they gave money to BLM. But this is really the simplest and easiest first step you can take against these people.

"I eat 6 eggs every morning and my blood tests are perfect."
My blood tests have been perfect for many years. Total cholesterol less than 150, LDL and HDL and triglycerides at the optimum levels. I'm also a big fan of eggs.
Then a year ago, had some chest pain and went straight to the emergency room. Testing revealed total blockage of a main artery. Too dangerous to work on. Cardiologist said I probably had a silent heart attack a few years back. Scan showed collateral artery growth which is why I am still here.
Sorry for the hijack, but perfect blood tests sometimes do not mean a whole lot.
Happy Thanksgiving, BTW.

I had a weak moment and ordered a cover. Got it installed yesterday and I have to say it’s a bit quieter and also
it’s got better pick up and the trans shifts much better. :facepalm:
Other than the price @$178 it’s a win win.
I’m wanting the OEM cover…. But I haven’t gotten as weak …. Yet lol

Did they recommend you switch to Lucky Charms?
