My 2nd Mach-E (reinCARnation?)

[ScottRichardson]

So my 2021 Mach-E premium met an unfortunate end due to a large piece of metal (part of a truck drivetrain) that was in the middle of an exit ramp. I saw the obstruction briefly as i rounded the tight turn of the ramp but there was no way to go around it safely, and I had someone on my tail. So I hoped it was plastic or paper. Alas it was metal, and it gutted the underside of the car including the battery box. I was shaken, the dash lights lit up like 4th of July, but no one was hurt. I pulled over to the side at the bottom of the ramp. Ford Roadside Assistance came in 15 minutes and towed it to a local dealer. It was declared a total loss; RIP the best car I've ever had.

Of course, I went out and bought a 2025 Mach-E premium with extended battery.

My late father always talked about wanting to be reincarnated as a bird. I say this because when I drove the new car home, parked and plugged it in, this happened:

And yes, my dad was a Ford guy and his favorite color was blue.

Honoring both your dad and your previous car.

I don't come to this forum for the emotion, but there it is. Feeling for your loss, as well as that clear sign of Cardinal renewal. Moving on, as only one can in a Mach-E.
