I had to put in a $500 deposit, but they did finally allow me to do everything over email and the phone. I’ve never done business with this dealer before, but I was happy enough with it. I was trying to work with another dealer that is about 80 miles away, but just didn’t hear back from the sales rep. I assume they

Amazingly my local dealer did work with me online on the last day hybrid orders were open. I was able to do the whole thing through email after I told the sales rep I just didn’t have time to come on over. Agreed to MSRP, but the only kicker seems to be agreeing to dealer financing.  

Neutral: It’s the time of year when people go apple picking in New England and my favorite concoction at the orchards is the cider slushy. Really anything slushy is great, but something about cider in frozen form is great. Non-alcoholic that I’ve seen, but I’m sure some enterprising orchards and bars are spiking it up.

100% agree. My SIL just got a Chevy Tahoe with some appearance package and the thing is massive. The RI DMV initially told her because of the weight it required commercial plates. That error got corrected, but man her forward visibility has to be extremely limited in that thing. But Americans like big rigs and it’s

It would be great if Ford would let you do this online, alas one must go to the dealer and provide license  fill in paper work etc. All things that I just don’t have time to do at the moment. Granted, that’s a me problem as clearly Ford is having no problem selling these under those conditions.

One of my grandfather’s favorite sandwiches was a combo of two of these. Peanut butter with bacon and onions. The onions had to be white and thinly sliced. Sweetened peanut butter was key as well as soft white bread. The go to used to be JJ Nissen’s Canadian white.

I wonder if these have made it to my local Shaw’s where “Signature” is also the store brand. 

Or electronics maker Sorny. You can get great deals on Sornys at the ogdenville outlets. 

I’m with ya. I just borrowed my mom's car at times. Meant I could get it some weekends and late nights in the summer. None of my friends had cars either, we just hoped one of us could borrow a parent's car when we wanted to do something. That said, if able I'll probably keep a car for my daughter instead of trading in

I'm 1.5 years away from having my daughter do this. Bon I'm sure she'll learn the manual transmission in no time. 

Great call. I never see a lot of these in a decent price range, or even many available used at all. Must be some real keepers.

Very true. The criminal RICO came into favor for prosecuting potentially corrupt politicians. Vincent “Buddy” Cianci of Providence, RI famously was taken down by RICO charges in Operation Plunder Dome. It was just assumed that Buddy was corrupt, but he was still largely beloved in the state and thought to be only

I disagree that they add nothing to the equation. First, not all people buy on internet research alone. They like to see the cars and actually drive them. It’s pretty convenient that I have many places in my local area to do that. I have to drive over an hour to get that experience with a Tesla.

It's also good for the customer that big OEMs don't work this rapidly. I can't imagine how bad the QA is on that software that Tesla pivoted to. 

Oh they never dropped them. You just didn't know about them. I grew up around militia light folks who had deep paronia and some truly strange beliefs about the government, aliens, Bigfoot,you name it. Guns were big with them. The difference now is the other half of our duopolistic political system is actively boosting

I’m not sure Rivian or even Tesla are the examples you think they are. They have none of the scale of existing Oems, even in the face of parts shortages. 

Cool thanks, that’s at least something to go by.
