You can get AWD on the Escape Hybrid. It uses a driveshaft instead of an electric motor. You can’t get the PHEV Escape with AWD though because the battery is too large for the driveshaft. However its sibling the Lincoln Corsair combines PHEV and eAWD. The reason why we don’t get either PHEV or AWD in the Maverick…

It is strange as I leaned towards the hybrid but would’ve preferred awd. Now that Ford pulled the odd switcheroo, I don’t mind the ecoboost awd being the base trim now. 

Crystal clear, 4K video of the sticky side of the tape.

a towing company...in Philly...seems like an open and shut case. 

Yet another TDI emissions-related scandal . . . .

This is a best case - They replace the 70 series with a heavy duty 300 series chassis and offer it in various wheelbases and cab styles. We would only get one which would probably be closest to the 76 series.

Mostly the filter feeders.

That looks like Taylor Ham to me, frenchie. What is the “pork.. roll” stuff you speak of? Also, that sandwich seems to be missing pepper and ketchup.

At 44 he unfortunately probably doesn’t qualify any more.

Dont forget that time when a Russian telegram bot was set up for users to report Ukrainian troop movements during the crucial early weeks of the war, where following its discovery the resulting NAFO spam was so intense that the channel had to be shut down, possibly affecting the outcomes of actual battles on the…

I’ve never had the battery die on a piece of paper.

My second car was a GL wagon manual. A very trusty car in the Winter, but that anemic engine made any hill climb a bit of an adventure. Especially on I-70 west of Denver.

I had to look closer to see that it was supposed to be toast; it looked at first glance to be beans on a kitchen sponge.

Lickers get beaten within an inch of their lives.

Normally when faced with these kinds of things, I just move on to another store, but I was feeling a bit spicy that day and wanted to pin this guy down  with the actual regulations. Also, I got a blog out of it. 

As a British-American it’s always really fun to watch Americans foam at the mouth about the British monarchy. Like, do you hate them or wish you were them? You don’t live there, why care?

Seriously, someone dropped the ball in vetting this one. Not only does their chicken suck, but they don’t fulfill the basic needs of being open when the rest center is.
