Totally human, no question about it!

Skeeting about cars, movies, and tech.
I’d love to do a Lightning at the right price, but it’s 75%+ more truck that I need.

A PHEV Maverick with 50 miles of range is exactly what I want.

You could do a lot worse. At least the brown bread is still pretty good!

Their hybrid expertise among the American brands is without equal. Zero doubt they’d mess it up, and I suppose in a roundabout way, still leaves them with a way to make a BEV again if needed.

It’s weird we didn’t get a Lincoln, and honestly, even more weird they didn’t try to make a Bronco variant out of it.

Cash on the table, man.

If they want a new old Ranger, just buy a Maverick.

Absolutely… should probably recategorize it as the “American commitment to the future” or whatever.

Genuinely wild to see GM as the only one who seems to be steadfast in staying on the same road they’ve been on.

The Bronco Sport has needed it for a bit, and with the RAV4 going all-hybrid, it's gonna start looking weird, quick.

Still wish they'd put the PHEV system from the Escape into the Maverick, but I think the clock is running out on getting that to work before the Gen 2 model comes through.

Please don't take this as an excuse for Ford: The current Lightning was about to age-out anyway, right? New F-150 seems closer than ever?

An EERV still makes *some sense* if used properly.

(Here's hoping used Lightnings get in that "attainable" range I've been looking for)

The age of smiles is upon us.

Really confused here - wasn’t it available as an app before? Now it’s just a pre-install?

Aren’t we still doing Lobo for this? Or did the Ad Wizards change their mind on that one, too?

Kara Swisher should be scoring bigger points, but I know she’s gonna lose.

This would look great on a Celestiq build.

All things considered it’s been a pretty nice winter so far. Consistent snow and reasonable temp flexes are A-Ok with me. Happy it’s not as cold as it was last year!
