lean in closer?

no, just making a crack at Detroit.

which is still part of MI, no? Or did the rest of the state throw Detroit out for being the hopeless cesspool of degeneracy?

when you refine oil the mixture of distillates doesn't vary a whole lot. What separates out as "87" is in the same ratio as "93" since the last 100 years. Now it's possible that the "93" might have some secondary uses that are increasing and thus could be siphoned off to that task instead of...

Corolla/Civic is wAY cheaper to own, operate, fuel, and mod. :)

I haven't bought <93 since 2019. I take a moment to look around the Costco refueling line of 80+ cars and press that button like a BOSS!

with their bro-mance with VW, Ford should ask to be taught the trick of lopping off FEET of useless plastic.

that's true today and has been since 2015.

Apparently @Ford Motor Company hired out to the same design studio as Kia did.

I can stare at a 60's Mustang/Camaro 'dash' all day long. 80's early 90's "digital"ish displays, not so much. Gimme back my Blackberry(s) damn it! It was an actual PHONE, trivial one-handed typing and tactile feedback you could touch-type without looking at the damn thing at all! My Moto E5...

call around. Tampa/Orlando area has a few big dealers and those are reasonably likely to do AZXD plan. Otherwise buy from VA/MD area and take the AutoTrain from Lorton VA to Orlando. If you can't bring yourself to drive all the neat roads from Front Royal VA all the way down the Appalachian Trail.

have you SEEN what passes for work ethic at a franchise dealer? 3rd party shops SHOULD do warranty work - they have a reputation and a business to protect. Nobody chains a dealership closed despite having the world's worst technicians.

exactly - you can tell computer weenies did this and as such is festooned with 'game' things like pointless gradients, clutter, and lousy clarity/contrast of informational elements. The design that works for 'flitting glances' is and MUST be dramatically different than a display you can stare at...

there are 3000 dealers. that's about 2500 too many. :) Whack everyone who charged over say 3% of MSRP in ADM and zero their allocations for that model for the year. They can become used car dealers instead. Oh you BET YUR ASS the dealer group(s) will sue. It'll take them 6 months minimum to...

doubtful on the DH. I too missed that wrinkle. Kinda fitting given it's actual utility. Might be only base Eco or maybe the base (300/301) get the same? $4000 for a handbrake is one way to drag people into choosing the Premium trims...

I posted what I have. March 27th I should have something solid. The other matter is being investigated by the brass.

do you have the name of the Finance guy? Because I will absolutely get this chased down and dealt with as best as I am able (being an outsider).

the front office is sticking fingers in the wind at the moment. They have a different answer every couple of days. They are playing "monkey see, monkey do." by watching what Koons and Ted Britt etc are batting around.

I figured I'd start an independent thread (like Granger has) to discuss/announce their terms and conditions. Unfortunately I have very little news and nothing is definitive. That should change on the day the order books officially open. What I CAN say is they have "plenty" of DH allocations -...

'tis the season for Doubting Thomas, too...
