I can sum up my thoughts in one word: good.

A. So Max has had his race ended, once literally and once effectively, two weeks in a row by Merc and Merc has had near zero repercussion. Didn’t realize this was a demolition derby.

Yea to me it looks like “low profile” tires on a 13" wheel with about 5" of interior width, if that makes sense. Not a true 18" wheel.

I’m listening....

In a real car? Probably 13 or 14. But you bet your ass I was driving go-karts around my local mini golf/arcade spots by the time I was about 6.

10-4 over and out

I don’t think there was ever any real conversation. I presented data. You presented opinions. I presented counter opinions and you called me a name. I called you a name. You called me more names and told me to fuck off. That was when I chose to end any rational discourse.

Strike a nerve, did I?

None of what I did was an insinuation. I looked at the data. If you choose to look at the data differently, so be it.

Good chat, Donkey

Are we also ignoring the double digit decrease in sales for the Escape? Cuz that’s a fun game, too, and one that actually happened (the sedan I mentioned I see as -8%, but not double digits).

There’s still clearly a market for sedans, as the Civic, Accord, Corolla and Camry firmly sat at 8-11 in terms of US vehicle sales in 2019 (the last year that mattered). Yet Ford is telling you that sedans are not worth purchasing. Guess what? THAT’S bullshit. The best selling Ford SUV, the Escape, sold 120,000 fewer…

My current vehicle, a 2018 Ford Fusion Hybrid Platinum, MSRP’d for slightly less than $40k. Being a new design and a luxury marque, I’d consider $47k in the ballpark. 

The MKT was a boat. Or at the very least a “crossover”. No thanks.

Nah, we’re back to the Henry Ford days of dictating what consumers buy. “You can have any color you want as long as it’s black” has now become “You can have any care you want as long as it’s not a car.”

Make it a sportback and take my money, Ford!

Harris Ranch is far from ‘random’. The first time I, from San Diego, made the trip with my girlfriend to her parents’ place, in Sacramento, Harris Ranch was the one stop we actually planned. Tri-tip sandwiches to die for.

So, let me get this straight:

Will it roll over in a stiff breeze? Or was that a different Mitsu vehicle?

I’m not going to seriously consider an EV for everyday driving/my only vehicle until I see one with 400 mi range and <15 min 80% recharge.
