That keypad is a great option to have if you use it. There’s been many times we’re out in my wife’s Escape and I’ve had to get into it with no keys on hand. 

.... and yet if Ford went in on it on their own, and got something wrong, you’d yell at them for not knowing what actual drivers want. That’s why focus groups exist. They’re a chance to get real, non-engineer drivers in there to tell you what works and what doesn’t.

When I take my kid to the swimming pool, I lock my keys in my MKX instead of carrying them with me. One less thing for me to drop/lose/have stolen. I know people that use the keypad to lock their keys in their car when they are doing other things where they wouldn’t want to carry a key, for example running or mountain…

It would be extremely nice to be able to visit the beach, and keep your wallet/keys in the truck.  Go swim then come back and type in your little code.  I wish my vehicles had it.

Thunder Cougar Falcon Bird Brougham Landau III LTD, naturally.

Or Ford was really smart and went with their gut instead of relying on focus groups to water things down to bland infinity.

Thunder Cougar Falcon Bird

I’m imagining that if you’re an off-road aficionado and you’re bouncing down a rough trail in your Bronco, that you absolutely want to stab a button or flip a physical switch as everything jiggles in front of you. Messing with a constantly shifting screen as you’re jostling down the trail? I can’t imagine a more…

I can smell the new car smell from that picture, they should make a Ferrari car interior cologne.

The name ‘2022 Ford Bronco Raptor’ comes off as a lot of marketing personal don’t really care how terrible it sounds to say. What’s next ‘Thunder Cougar Falcon Bird.’

.......fuck me. Jesus. that’s dark.

That’s good.

fucking awesome !!

I think you’re one syllable off from a lovely haiku

Maybe it was because you sat on a sponsor’s name.

Slightly related - don’t ever kiss the Blarney Stone if you’re in Ireland. The local kids delight in pissing on it at night.

I relate hard to the “you can do anything you want until someone tells you to stop” thing. Since going to COTA for MotoGP I’ve realized event security just isn’t consistent on the rules. Granted, I’m sure F1 and the Indy 500 are a little more locked down than COTA for MotoGP, but personnel don’t seem to be in…
