What are the coordinates for this “Ice Mountain”?

NeXT was a company that Steve Jobs founded, after he was driven out of Apple computer (which he also founded). Under this brand, he manufactured a computer that, in my opinion, was many years ahead of its time. Alas, it was not well marketed, and it never really sold very well at all...

I would have to call solid digestive waste from a male bovine on any claim that the fuel or emissions saving from ASS are “nontrivial” in any normal circumstances. I think that ASS has nothing whatsoever to do with any determination on Ford's (or any other vehicle manufacturer's) part with...

Some of us don't care to have the lives of our engines or starters significantly shortened by excessive restarts.

Here's the story from a credible source, that doesn't hide its content behind a paywall or a “disable your ad-blocker” wall. https://www.motortrend.com/news/ford-f-150-lightning-ev-dealership-price-gouging/

If I'm not mistaken, a green sticker means that it was a customer order. So, yes, it probably does mean that they screwed an original customer out of this. I note, also, that the lower left image shows a claim that the MSRP is $89,990. A technicality, perhaps, but wouldn't that be fraud...

Maybe you can figure out a way to carry the Samurai/Jimney on the Bronco, as a spare.

They were briefly sold here in the United States, some decades ago, as the Suzuki Samurai. Perhaps you can find a used one in roadworthy condition. Good luck with that. At the time they were a thing, I remember it being considered dubious whether they were truly in roadworthy condition...

I disagree. I think the First Sale doctrine should absolutely apply to any purchase. Once the seller has the money from the buyer, and the buyer has the product, the product is the buyer's to do with as he wishes, and the seller has no more claim on it, and no right to tell the buyer what he...

At least you've found an appropriate use for a Japanese car.

I have some memory of reading, among hacks to disable the Auto Stop-Start (ASS) mode, that one of these hacks involves jumpering a couple of conductors on the trailer connector, to trick the Bronco into thinking that it is towing a trailer. This apparently changes some of the operating...

The linked article is hidden behind a paywall. Do you or anyone else have any source for this news, from a credible site?

I would have to go so far as saying that I would not consider it unacceptable for a dealership to charge a significant markup on a customer order, as long as this is clearly disclosed at the time the order is placed. At that point, the customer still has a very viable option to go off and see...

It's funny, that even though this is going to be my toy, that ever since we paid our visit to you, took a test drive, and put in our order, @Seanette seems to be, at times, more excited and impatient about it than I am. I'm not a very patient person, but I knew going into this that it was...

The spare tire should always be replaced if it exceeds 6 years of age, regardless of whether it is part of the tire rotation. This bit from the manual seems apropos, with regard to my previous post showing what happened when @Seanette and I tried to use a spare tire that was about seventeen...

There it is. That was in February, 2014, when our 1997 Contour got a flat, so we took out and mounted the factory spare. This was less than a mile later. The tire looked and felt fine before we mounted it, but as the picture shows, once it was put to use, it turned out to be anything but...

It's not a pick up. It's an SUV.

I ordered mine in October. No build date, yet, no VIN or anything. Nothing beyond the original order confirmation from Ford. At the time I placed my order, my dealer estimated that I'd probably get it around Junie-ish of this year.

You speak of a singular errant dog hair? Your dogs are amateurs compared to my cat. Feathers, too, sometimes, though that's not as steady as cat hair. The cat sheds fairly constantly. The bird isn't so much of a constant shedder; she goes through occasional molts, where she discards and...
