To be fair, that site is friggin hilarious if you’re from around here.

I wonder how the bridge fared. We had someone hit an overpass with something VERY solid around here and it required an immediate closure of the bridge and a complete rebuild as it cracked two of the primary carrying beams. Not cheap to fix and now they have a handy flashing sign that no one dumb enough to hit a bridge…

Well they only sold like 6 of them, so there are 4 people fighting over the leftovers.

If I had the coin I’d have one of the new EB V6 F-150s in my driveway in a heartbeat. My mother has the 2.7EB and the power is insane compared to my 5.4. I’d love to try the 3.5EB with the new 10 speed behind it.

I’m rocking a F450, F150, and a 1.0 Fiesta.

Right there with you. Every time I joke about Florida falling into the sea I have to stop and think... those people have to end up somewhere if they’re not all contained in Florida.

That makes one of us.

120K mile van sitting in Mass with “ran when parked” issues?

I’m getting sick and tired of my 5.4 F150 but when it isn’t making me blind with rage it’s a great truck.

Don’t forget this gem.

Obnoxious diesel truck guys are the worst. That subset of society has literally turned me off from any more diesel trucks besides my work trucks.

I had to do some back of the napkin math but based on US sales figures and a vague quote about the take % on the 1.0 engine (because US drivers generally can’t drive a stick and that is all you can get) I came up with about 6K sold here. Total. I’d love to find a way to ask Ford how many were actually sold in the US…

Even at family income, $60K isn’t anywhere near poverty.

Is it ACTUALLY a crossover or just a happy hatchback with a sellable buzzword?

The issue is those places charge 2x what the car is worth and tack on generous fees and an absurd interest rate, then happily repo the car if you’re a few weeks behind.

While you might be able to get a physically “running” car for a couple hundred dollars, if you live somewhere with inspection requirements it won’t pass. Generally around here something with a valid sticker that won’t require a few hundred dollars of work immediately starts at $1K and that doesn’t mean it’ll take…

I think everyone needs, at least once in their life, to have bad credit and be forced to buy a car at a buy-here-pay-here joint. This experience will make you understand far better than any number of articles what it’s like to pay far too much for a POS car with no recourse if things go wrong.

Links? This is the first I’ve heard of it, though granted I’ve only known a few people who actually own one. Took me a long time to find one to purchase it, I’m not sure they made many.

Give me one example where a single person earning $60K/yr is “barely above the poverty line” because that line is pure fantasy.

$60K can buy an entire neighborhood in Detroit....
