Actually, it was a lease, and Ford offered to let us out of it early if we bought or leased another Ford product, so we downsized to a Focus 5-door hatchback.

I wouldn't either. And I should know now. My tolerance/patience is all used up; just looking for an excuse to jump ship, but alas, the S4 will not give it.... yet..... it's behaving like a Honda/Toyota again.
Basically the same thing on my 2013 F150, which is not a push button start. If I turn the key to the start position and immediately release, it will start. I'm talking about the key being in the "start" position for less than a full second. But if I just hit and release, as fast as possible, it will not start.
If I hear the starter engage, it is okay to release the button or key, the car will engage the starter long enough to complete the job.

My son had a late 80's 4 cylinder Ranger way back when. It was fairly solid, but very slow. He went off to college in the truck, but it didn't last the full 5 years. I had to come rescue him once, the truck wouldn't start. I found a small socket, 3/8 drive, about 1/2 or 9/16, inside the bowl of the carburetor. When I asked him who had been working on the truck, he of course replied, "No one!"
now, I wait again. Hopefully not the almost 11 months I waited for the 2022 hybrid. On a positive note, I will get a 1 model year newer unit, and they will have had a chance to deal with the early unit gremlins.
of course if this drags on I might not get the trade in quote I want on my current one, or have gotten bored and dumped it for something completely different already.

It’s actually FWD. and we do use it as intended sometimes. Probably I could get away without it but I would lose the trade in credit and flexibility of having a spare. Never know, I might need to take my snow blower someplace!
Of course I never bothered to get a quote on it. Intentionally did not want to know. There is also the issue of not actually knowing if the new one ever shows up. Or not until next summer. But I suppose if Carmax will cut me a check tomorrow for $35,000 I would take it!

OMG those were dogs. My ex had a 94 regular cab with the 2.3 and a 5 speed, and even interstate bridges at 75mph were sometimes worthy of a downshift. We drove it from Illinois to Georgia to pick up a bunch of stuff from her folks and the best thing I did in Nashville traffic was put it in 4th and mostly leave it there.
The hybrid will be a steal if the current market ($2,000-$5,000 ADMs on the hybrids) is even close to the same at the time it comes in since I would be getting it for ~$4,000 below MSRP.

It sprays on as a fluid, but dries to a waxy finish that won't attract a bunch of gunk like the fluid stuff does. It is also extremely durable in terms of resistance to washing off when it is put to work.
1. Enjoy the fact that the move is over and just settle in a bit. Winter's coming fast anyway, and it's never any fun moving stuff in the cold.
2. Put a 2" class-3 hitch on the RDX. Get a cargo tray.
3. If you need to move the snowthrower or anything else up to and including appliances, you just pop in the tray, put the unit on top, and off you go!
4. Get the new truck in probably February, and now you really appreciate the convenience of a truck again!

I'm not totally done, of course, as there is still NJ MVC to deal with. That will be about $260 for title and state tax. If I want to register it, should be another $200 or so. I'm on track for just south of $7k.

Around Richmond some borderline sentient creature had stopped his Mazda 3 in the center lane with no lights on. The car in front of me(a police car) swerved right and I swerved left, narrowly missing the idiot.
A couple of hours later I'm in the left lane following a Silverado, which is following a decrepit four wheeled appliance of some sort. On my back bumper is a Wrangler JK. Whe a break in traffic appears on the right he blows the horn, flips me off, and cuts in front of me, where he remains for the next couple of miles until the appliance owner finally pulls into the right lane. I probably would have badged him if my wife wasn't on board.
Finally, I was followed for some distance by a newer Avalon. It's driver was undoubtedly a hardcore enthusiast as all the trim was blacked out. He finally passed me only to reveal that his LR corner had a softball sized dent. I guess that mod has gone upscale as it used to be confined to the "grounded to the ground" Camry.

Took him out driving for about 40 minutes in a parking lot. Just to get him acquainted. He drove the Highlander.

I will definitely look into the 1 day Street Survival Course. I do have some companion certificates to use on Delta. Maybe the BMW performance center isn’t such a stretch. What airport do you fly into for that?

I agree. If even a part of that story is true, Ford has problems they’ll never be able to fix. Where does stuff like this start?

Wife decided to take advantage of the still-crazy market for the Bronco and get into something more comfortable and useful for her needs. And just like that, we’re a Mercedes couple.

Well, that will keep her happy for a few weeks….
Didn’t she already have a GLC (or two)?
Are you gonna black out all that trim for the next owner?
What did I miss?
