They're available and on the lot here in the NE, but only at the dealers charging a $5k markup.  The ones that don't do that BS are selling them before they even hit the pavement.

You’re not wrong, but you won’t be getting a Maverick at a dealership any time soon. We want to get our son into one and it looks like we’ll have to wait until June to be able to order one for next year.

nice price all day long. even before the current price stupidity a clean 4x4/5sp/4.0 ranger extra cab was not far off this price. not my favorite color, but at least it isn’t grey, white or black.

And... it’s gone. As of this comment, the article had been published for 27 minutes.

For a 4x4 this price seems surprisingly fair.  I expected to see 200K miles or something goofy like that when I kept reading.  For the price and condition, this is a rare Nice Price in this market.

Damn straight, that’s a nice price! Even like the yellow! Clean-looking and low mileage and a not-insane price. Seller could probably ask more and get it in this alternate-reality.

Maylander has been the primary F1 safety car driver since 2000. He has missed very few races in the last 22 years. 

I do not think Bernd Mayländer is a regular driver..he drove the CLK GTR for the Mercedes factory team in the FIA GT series, won the N24 on a 996 GT3 in 2000 and competed in the DTM.

When I had my w124 and later an even older w123, I actually found the local dealer parts department to be surprisingly reasonable, knowledgeable, and helpful. A blessing and curse of MB is that they actually DO often sell the little bits seperately (but there tend to be a LOT of little bits, because why use two parts…

They should just use an F1 car from a few years ago and plaster a bunch of lights on it. Problem solved

Tell me you don’t ride bikes without telling me you don’t ride bikes

Modern 975 cc twin should pump out 180HP + at 10K+ RPM

If you’re in the Detroit-ish area, All Euro in Ferndale is great. Looking online FCP Euro is also excellent. Most of these older German cars share parts heavily within the MFG and sometimes amongst each other. They all relied heavily on Bosch and other big, German suppliers as those were the companies right there in…

I could stack my wife’s A3 on top my F150 and it would weigh less than the Hummer EV.

Those pesky Jeep GC’s are deadly too. We are really fucked with the Grand Wagoneer starts showing up on the roads. Jeep has the GC’s at 6,500 lbs for pre-2022 models and 2022 3-row models and 6,050 lbs. for the new 2022 2-row models.

The braking claim is THIN. Consumer Reports provided a chart of 9 vehicles. 4 of the electric vehicles had a GREATER stopping distance than their gas equivalents. Unless they’ve got a lot more data, that’s not a statistical significance I’d hang my hat on. Their explanation also has holes in it.

Echo, echo:

Potentially putting thousands, if not millions, of four- and five-thousand-plus pound vehicles on the road could have serious consequences in car accidents.

Go to an early-adopter, big city; say Vancouver. Teslas and other EVs are ubiquitous. The change is coming and it will be an issue.
