Are you suggesting that a consumer automobile should be safer than a World War II fighter plane?

Well, it's not often (if ever) that a century-old manufacturing process is massively improved. Is Ford capable of a battery breakthrough? Are they even working on bleeding edge battery technology? I've heard of GM and Toyota doing some stuff, but not Ford. The Model T came out at less than...

The Model T took about 15 months to go from concept to production. I suspect whatever Ford announces next month will take a lot longer. Many years longer.

I taught my kid to drive on an old Lexus, but had him switch to the Mustang as soon as he got his license. I figure it's a lot safer than the old car. He's a good, careful driver.

Your wife sounds like a sensible woman.

My four-year option is coming up soon. I like the car, so I think I'll keep it.

No. It did not.

All your base are belong to us.

How many years has it been since we had a driver?

No, but I thought about it. I went nearly 4 years without a flat. But just recently I got two flat tires in three days, one of which could not readily be repaired and made the car undriveable. I am considering getting a Modern Spare, but would generally leave it in my garage.

That might be how you decide to sell. But OP explicitly said that he declined the Carmax offer because of the amount he owes on Ford Options. See the excerpt I quoted above. I'm just curious about his thinking on this.

Why "obviously"? You'd have gotten more than you owe. Lots of people would take that deal.

Was the mobile service successful?

OK, thanks. I did notice that, but the air loss seemed to be minuscule.

What's your beef with this tip? Seemed to me it screwed on tightly in about 5 seconds. What would be better?

Well, that is better than no answer at all. But just barely.

That certainly is surprising.

What kind of advertisers pay to show ads that will be seen mainly by people who are not clever enough to block the ads? Ranger trucks and Scout EV forums, apparently. It does appear that the advertising business model could use some improvement...

Thanks Mark, good to know. If they can use the new bolt rather than the old pin, I may go ahead with the replacement. Even though $74 each still seems excessive...

That does not sound right. As far as I can tell, 9/30/25 is the expiration date stated in the bill. And an executive order can not amend a statute that has been passed by Congress and signed by the President.
