Are you ordering the hybrid?Maybe my Maverick will be delayed? Seems XL is pretty popular.
Wish they made the hybrid model AWD....probably coming in time. Or one with the 2.3 drivetrain from the Focus RS/mustang eco boost would be pretty sweet.Maybe my Maverick will be delayed? Seems XL is pretty popular.
I did see that some guy has already run a 12.09 @ 114 with an AWD maverick, thats pretty impressive.
Always make a point of riding by there as part of my normal longer road loop. There's also that Robb Francis place around the corner which sometimes has interesting stuff.
R/F had a Cayman outside for sale - they were closed. Old Caddy and P/U parked inside the doors on display.
don't forget your pastry at CocoLuxe!

i typically have my phone ready when I ride that way to take the obligatory pictures. always something cool parked outside but I am sometimes surprised which ones they leave on the street close to passing traffic.
I ordered an Ecoboost. 99% of the TSBs and recalls have been on the Hybrid, which include engine fires (that may not have been fully resolved). The 2.0L Ecoboost has been around for 10+ years and has had all the bugs worked out. Plus it's 250 HP! The hybrid also has a CVT transmission and I'm not crazy about that. I don't want to be a beta tester for a shitty company like Ford. OTOH, the Hermasillo, MX facility has the highest quality rating of any Ford plant. LOCO! Crazy.

I work about a mile from those two shops and need to get over there more often.

Let's do it. I'll schedule a meetup at Natirar this fall. I've tons of loops through the Patriots path and arboretums/preserves
I sat in one. It's like driving a square. It's the same width as the F-150 Raptor, with 37in tires, and like half the length.

Yea it was odd looking from behind
+11 on Cocoluxe 👍. As for The Stable, that black e36 M3 has been on their inventory for some time, unless it sold this spring and came back again. I think they’re asking a bit much for it $34k for 70k miles. I like @qclabrat ’s idea of a fall meetup at Natirar (though gets busy weekends late morning onward) maybe coffee/pastry at Coco and a gander at the goodies at RF and the Stable.
