This was only a problem with the 3rd Generation Explorer (2002-2005). The piece of plastic would break because it was part of the glass liftgate and it couldn’t handle the stress of being shut. No other Ford had this issue.

I’ve had to tell my sister not to do #1 multiple times. Luckily I think she gets it now (at least when I’m driving).

Oh, well that sucks.

I don’t understand why Ford doesn’t move some of its production to the Southern U.S. I guess at this point building a plant may not be worth the initial cost.

There’s a golf course around here with some ponds/lakes that golf balls are often lost in. They SCUBA dive to retrieve the balls. Well, they found a car in it this year (that had been in there for some time), and I don’t think anyone had any clue how it happened. Pretty weird stuff.

A lot of the sewer covers in my city were actually made here, though I doubt they make them here anymore.

I think we should do away with insurance. Whoever is liable for the accident either pays the money or they have to become your personal slave. Sounds good to me.

Not to mention, unlike a password you don't have to click enter after you've put in your pin. It's rather convenient.

Sucks to have a sucky family.

I hate the government so much. It’s a big gang with nothing to stop it.

That sounds awesome!

Ahh, I love RC cars. There aren’t any tracks in my city, but there is one about 30 minutes away though it’s on private land so you can’t just go anytime. But they do hold races. I also have my own small track at my house, but it’s kind of lackluster due to the small amount of space I have. :P

He never said she shouldn’t go to jail or that her richness had anything to do with it.

The IBM/Unicomp keyboards are the only ones made in the U.S. as far as I know, if anyone likes that aspect like I do.

I’m possibly going to be getting a Microsoft Lumia 950 and I have Verizon currently so it looks like goodbye to Verizon (it doesn’t work on their network).

If Ting doesn’t work well for you you could try Cricket. It uses AT&T’s network and starts at like $35 a month with 2.5 GB of data. Ting uses
Sprint’s network if I remember correctly, which isn't as big as AT&T's. Either way, best of luck!

Great article, Whitson! I also appreciate how the comments have been helpful and thoughtful and not become a pissing match like comparisons often give rise to. Good job, commenters. :P

You used to be able to just use a bot to do Bing searches, but they’ve cracked down on that (rightfully so, to be honest) and you’ll get your account banned if they catch you. I just go to Bing and then type in something like “chicken” and click on all of the related searches until I get to 30 searches for the day. :P
