Doing today...

Those were the days. I once flew by a policeman parked next to Laurelhurst Park in Portland, Oregon, going so fast he didn't even bother... 1975. I have gone faster(son who sells Fords has had (not kidding) three Shelby Mustang GT-500s... But never anything as monstrous as this... Same color...

Just bought my fourth new Ford since April of 2016. This time Bronco with Sasquatch package. 2.7. For what it's worth, I've had zero problems or failures with any of these vehicles. P.S. I again got plan D as a family member and couldn't pass up below MSRP, and their dealer mark up. Should I...

FWIW, I had a really nice custom ordered '21 that someone backed out of and went with an F-150 instead. I put thirteen thousand miles on it in 9 months. One day a TPMS sensor went off and said go to the dealer. It was a large screw that they fixed free. BUT, someone took the truck out and ran...

I had a special order one of a kind 2021 XLT extended cab 4X4 that I loved. It was a great truck. Never got stuck in sand snow or mud. I put BFG ko2 tires on it. Strong engine. Because of direct injection I ONLY ran Mobil 1 5w-30 extended performance. SADLY, someone at the dealership took it out...

2021 Ford Bronco Sport 2.0 turbo. At 4400 changed the factory fill so I would know what was in there. Oil was still translucent. 5.3 quarts of Mobil-1 EP 5w-30(my go to). Motorcraft 910s filter. Will go a conservative 6000 on this, don't care what the computer says...

I changed the factory fill at 3800 in my 2.3 Ranger. Heavy fuel smell. Second change at 8800(M1 extended 5-30), zero fuel smell. Engine runs great and is a beast! Third oil change this weekend at 11,800(I go off road a lot, this will be my dec-jan-feb fill. Oh, and you can get Motorcraft 910s...

Never ever use dish soap! Here's what my new in April Ford Ranger's finish looked like after applying $15 a bottle TW Hybrid solutions Ceramic. Check out the reflection of the garage walls.

One of my sons sells Fords(Sold more cars than anyone at this long standing local dealer). Rode in one Wednesday 10/06. I'm very impressed with the job they did. $20,000 for a hybrid that handily beats Prius numbers? With these prices, and this quality it will be a big hit. Of course I'm partial...

In the last few years a bunch of folks in my neighborhood had to copy each other and get Dodge Rams. All in white or silver. The guy next door is a rebel and got a new Ford. Me? I can't even imagine paying for 13 MPG gas mileage.

I saw the 3m clear tape at WalOfChina Mart for $15.95. Get it repainted and apply this stuff yourself.

Looking around at China mart I found dome light bulbs from Hungary. Headlight bulbs from Germany and USA. Out of my face China!

29.54 MPG all in town. '06 xB auto M-1 5W30
