I always own an f250. The maverick hybrid world replace my neon.

I so badly want to buy a new Maverick, but I am terrified this will happen to me. It’s stopping all together.

My kids are actually a great help :). It’ll be 11 soon once I ditch the PT cruiser shell and part out/scrap my suburban. 

Other than the tablet on the dash, I like the interior. But the exterior I hate. The last generation looked SO good, it was a car that seriously stuck out in traffic. This generation Civic looks toothless in comparison, like a 2 generations old accord.

I cobbled together a battery backup for my buddy’s sump pump using a 12v maintainer, a deep cycle battery, and a 2000w peak/1000W running sine wave inverter. Ran about $260 all in. I’m gonna build one with a bigger inverter for camping. If I build a nice enough box, it wont be too bad to heft around.

That’s only about a 70Ah rating. A deep cycle battery for an RV will do more than that.

I’d take one of these if it was free, but I’d probably build my own portable battery backup for campsite use.

I’m the David Tracy of Dodge Neons and K cars.

The documentary Harlan County, U.S.A. is an amazing watch about the Kentucky coal mine strike in 1973 if you haven’t seen it.

I just read some of your other comments. Seems at a minimum you’re looking at a 7% increase for the calendar year, which is nothing to sneeze at. If we’re making the same amount (which I think we are) that’s a pretty good chunk of change. With this additional information, it seems you guys are doing pretty well with…

Well, I’m currently at 13, after scrapping 3 and selling 2 the past few months. One more wont hurt.

A 2nd gen Dodge Caravan. Find one with a 4 cylinder and a 5 speed. Take out all the seats and you got a pickup truck to use, gets decent gas mileage. Add snow tires and they work great in the snow.

I had a hard 2016, and then a hard 2020. I am getting super tired of driving a Dodge Neon a million miles a year, it would be nice to have a Maverick hybrid to drive 2-3 days a week, and then the rest of the miles on a beater.

Seem you and (possibly) your co workers don’t have much bargaining power. Form a union, and you’ll likely be better off.

One of the last real conversations with my dad while he had Alzheimer’s, I tried to tell him I had bought a house in rural PA after living in suburbs of MD most of my life. I showed him some pictures, but he just kept smiling and saying “no way, you’re not old enough yet”. He thought I was still a teenager, or…

I can just imagine you going up a ramp screaming “LEEEEROOOOOOOOOOY”

This already happens in Maryland. But certain companies allow you to sell and ship them online through the mail. They keep your license information, but it’s not a deterrent.

I’m itching super hard for a FWD base model. Even with living in south PA and the snow we get, I’ve been fine with snow tires and a neon for quite a while, so AWD wont be necessary. I take neons and minivans where most people don’t take their trucks, so I’d be fine with a FWD one.

4th gear:

I regularly do long road trips to visit family, and my daily commute is pretty insane. I think my personal cutoff to where I’d be really interested in an EV for trips would be 300 miles with the heat running during winter.

I regularly tow things I shouldn’t with my minivan. If I could find a cheap enough tow hitch for my neon I’d gladly tow my 4'x8' trailer so I could stop having to use my truck to get plywood or drywall.
