Had a bit of a tense moment today; the remote for the Club Sport wasn't working- due to a dead battery. I was very disappointed that the battery only lasted 27 years and 149,700 miles, but I had no choice but to replace it. I know it was extremely irresponsible, but I changed the battery without donning safety goggles or having a fire extinguisher nearby.
I'm still trembling a little.

I’m pleasantly surprised at how the new M2 rear end looks in alpine white

I couldn't resist. Knew I'd wind up with one of these at some point. Its just so darned cute. A little higher miles than I wanted (85k), and I purposely got an automatic to appeal to a broader audience, but I think I should be able to make a few bucks and get it out of my system.

hit a mileage milestone this weekend. at 9.5 months old, the Maverick rolled over 5,000 miles. most of it running back and forth to NY from NJ when moving. Going on slower now, mostly running around on weekends, sharing that duty with the Acura.Not too many miles in that many months. We just got back from a quick high mile trip with our truck and Airstream from VT to Albuquerque, NM back to Troy, NY and then home up to VT. 5225 miles in 25 days. We had reservations since January at the Balloon Fiesta and had planned to stay out west for another couple of weeks exploring some National Parks. But, first grand-baby is on the way and that changed our plans
Speaking of that car, it clicked over 17.000 miles this weekend. 2 years, 7 months old.
interestingly they are averaging almost exactly (6,300-6,400) annual miles so far. Obviously we don't drive that much (and for 15 months the Acura was an only car). and now with fewer road trips might not break 10K between them.
So, we basically drove the interstates all the way and did a few high mile days to keep on schedule. We saw lots of corn and soy being harvested pretty much from Oklahoma through MO, IL, IN, OH and back through NY.

Quick 400 mile R/T, this weekend. One observation: Multiple Ford Fusions being driven by jerks. Tailgating, weaving in and out of traffic, insistent on driving 90 mph.. I don't think I've ever noticed a Fusion on the road, in the last few years, but at least 8 of them with a death wish, in the last two days.Sorry, a Fusion is all Enterprise had available to rent.
Really weird.

We’ve got very few Fusions left since they stopped making them in 2020. However, we could put you in a nice Chevy Malibu seeing that it appears that we have purchased every one in existence.Quick 400 mile R/T, this weekend.

I need to do some better cable management, but pretty happy with this setup. Lights are on and projector is on ECO.

I love the fact that I have no neighbors within a one mile radius of my home. No geezers critiquing how often I mow my lawn, no one to complain if my son and I watch movies with the sound at THX reference levels, no worries about leaving a garage door open with my tools in full view- and the list goes on.I bet a lot of your neighbors are happy that you live at least a mile away from them too.
If you can't take a leak in your front yard , then your neighbors live too close.
