How did you find my pic ?

Nope

I’ve seen several Santa Cruz around here & they’re ok. Not for me though. A few minutes ago, passing through Graceville, Florida, I saw a very good-looking white Maverick that had been lifted some. It took me a moment to realize what it was, so unfortunately, no pics. But it looked really good.

A lifted Ford Maverick with the tires and wheels to match is indeed a real looker.

Oops. Wrong Maverick ?

No comments on parking?
Mark @MXGOLF, you take lessons from Paul @OrangeStreak? Apparently parking crooked isn't limited to those with Saber Rangers.

Yeah, the looks of the Santa Cruz don't appeal to me.

I just pulled in that spot to look at the Santa Cruz then drove home. The handicap spots are huge any way. Parking crooked helps with saving door dings. Usually I park at the upper end of the parking lot. Too many idiot drivers who don't care about there vehicle and certainly don't care about mine.

Parking "crooked" is the key to stay ding free
Ask Tracy!

I was leaving Home Depot and saw a Santa Cruz and had to take a couple of pictures. Wow pretty trippy looking. I see they copied the bumper steps of the Chevys. I would like to sit in both just to compare but I like the Maverick much better. I still am not fond of 4 full doors. I still would not buy either as I am so happy with my Ranger.

My goodness, that is one ugly vehicle!

My wife was quadriplegic for 2.5 years before she passed. We had a mobility van that had a side ramp which enabled her to exit and enter the vehicle. The handicap spaces are huge for a reason as we needed at least 6” from the side of the van for her to use the ramp. Parking over the hash marks pretty much makes the space next to it unusable for a side ramp van despite it allowing you to cut down on door dings. You’d be amazed at how often this would happen. Most often it was another person with a handicap placard in the adjacent space. Sometimes it was motorcycle riders who thought the hashed off spaces were for them. Let’s show a little more compassion for those who have physical challenges, OK?

Thanks for making us aware of these situations Greg! I park crooked to eliminate dings but always in an isolated area where it does not interfere with handicap or normal parking areas with respect to those choices. Also, don't care to get into parking issue altercations ? ?

My brother was in a wheel chair for 25 years until he passed away and I do know what you are talking about as I used to in his later years transport him all over. He had a van set up for wheel chairs but it was so tough for him to get in the drivers seat I drove him a lot. Believe me I do have tons of compassion for those who have physical challenges!!! It's not fun for them at all as it's a very tough life.
