    My Journey with FITCAMX (Dash Cam with OEM look)

    Just to clarify - turning off CarPlay is required at all times or just if you do not have an SD card in the unit? This exchange with @Darkenmage has me confused....

    Thanks for posting the sample! Looks great for the purpose to me. Is this the 2K or 4K camera?

    My Journey with FITCAMX (Dash Cam with OEM look)

    How thorough are the instructions? I'm a complete beginner on something like this. Also, what software is that screenshot from? Thanks!

    Tax scam or usual practice?

    A) That's cow excrement. A computerized system made that invoice and it can remake that invoice. B) Highly illegal. They should refund that immediately. C) I bet a call to your local tax office would get this moving pretty quickly.

    I wish my car didn't sound like a forklift when backing up

    The Honda Accord Hybrid I sold to buy my MME sounded a bit like George Jetson's "car" from The Jetsons at low speed.

    Christmas Presents for Mach E owner

    As a similar idea, in my family, everyone picks a charity. We 'gift' one another donations to their charity. The gift is always appreciated (by the loved one) and is 'just the right thing' when you help those in need. Two favorites in our family - Heifer International provides farm animals...

    Mach-E GT purchase process and review — First Two Weeks

    Just got my GT a week ago also and I am loving it. I may have an explanation for the 'brake grinding' noise. See, EVs are so quiet, they can 'sneak up' on pedestrians and such, so all EVs are required to generate noise at low speeds for people to notice and hear. It's literally coming out of a...

    MME GT "Crowley" delivered in Austin TX

    Brought my MME GT home yesterday! Pix of the happy arrival! Drives like a dream and I can't wipe the smile off my face at all. Gave a couple of friends a chance to drive and they are the same. I might have inspired an order - we'll have to see. ;)

    Spare tire info

    I understand the worry though I don't need one for myself. However, there's one caveat I'd like to throw in. This vehicle is HEAVY. When you consider how you will swap out the wheel & tire, you need to also give some serious thought to how you will get that wheel in the air for the swap. For...

    Additional payment of principal balance for Ford Options

    My car is getting close, so I am (re)reading the Ford Options threads a bit closer this weekend. I have enough cash to buy the MME outright, but I wouldn't mind putting some of that towards other uses. Say I finance using Options, put down the max allowed (currently 45%?), select a term and...

    THE MOST IMPORTANT PICTURES EVER POSTED (*)

    Yeah, this thread has done exactly what you wanted it to do, didn't it? :rolleyes: ? [Obligatory eyeroll emoji for @GoGoGadgetMachE] I have transported a 12' long by 10' wide rolled carpet remnant home from a store in my Mini Cooper. It was hangin out the back hatchback and actually sticking...
