I'd guess the hole around the latch. I don't keep anything fibrous in there anymore, nor anything I don't want smelling like pee. I had to throw out an otherwise fine bike helmet.
After my mountain bike ride today I was putting my gear in the frunk. A hiker walking up to their car hollered over, "You having trouble getting it started?"
Took me a moment to realize they thought I was messing with my engine! ???
I'm using a Kuat Sherpa (2 bike) with a Curt hitch. The Curt hitch is a little longer than some and leaves plenty of room between rack and car. The rack blocks the plate, but not the camera (at least not enough to bother me.) The rear rack hurts range minimally, even when loaded.
We also have a...
This is the first car I've purchased from anyone but my dad, who retired earlier this year. I got it from Myers Ford in Elkton, VA, and I did the whole thing from my work desk an hour's drive away.
Except for the fact that shipping is a black hole for everyone, including the dealer, it was...
Welcome from the Waynesboro-Charlottesville metropolitan corridor (ha!). You can see me cruising back and forth in a Star White Select six days a week.
My guess on the roof is that it's all about the aero. Smoother means better range.
Finally got it done! I didn't expect the sparkle in the Start White to be so visible on the hood while driving. Just one step away from a Lisa Frank Trapper Keeper (if you don't know what that is, don't tell me. You'll just make me feel old.)
Maybe it's a coincidence, but 95 minutes after DMing Ford through the forum my MME's status changed from "on hold" to "pending pickup" at United Road. Maybe it'll make finally make it from the ramp to the dealership! ??
So, United Road still shows Blitzen as on hold, but Seg.FYI now says 11/25 instead of 12/14. Maybe that's better, but a Thanksgiving day delivery seems unlikely to me. I don't know who to believe (if anyone).
Mine apparently made it to Virginia in 4 weeks, and the black hole is at the Petersburg ramp. I hope "on hold" doesn't mean someone at the trucking co. F'd it up.
It's in the United Road Services lot, they truck them from the rail car to the dealership. Google street view shows a security fence and gatehouse. If you zoom all the way in on Google maps you can even see Mach-Es in the lot.
Turns out my MME has been in a parking lot less than 2 hours from my house since 10/18. Mex to KC to VA in 4 weeks, where is been sitting for 4 more weeks. ?
