Don’t You Buy No…

ByBob La Londe January 10, 2025January 10, 2025

I have a deposit on a 2024 Ford Maverick with exactly the specs I want at a pretty decent price waiting on the recall to get fixed. (The backup camera can freeze on some.) The salesman contacted me today offering me a ready to deliver a 2025 with similar specs at a “similar” price. It is definitely more. The price was still “okay”, but I started having flashbacks.

All I could see for a few minutes was 80’s car commercials telling me, “Don’t you buy no ugly truck!”

Apologies to those who like the look of blinders on the 2025.

The one I have a deposit on is white, but this picture should show what I mean.

“BEST” Duramax Mechanic… Maybe not in Yuma.

ByBob La Londe August 24, 2024

“BEST” Duramax Mechanic… Maybe not in Yuma. I asked for the best Duramax Mechanic here in Yuma on NextDoor, Facebook, and a couple other social media sites. Basically, no answer. Of course I researched local shops and read reviews. Something I often hear is “everybody makes mistakes,” or “You can’t please everybody,” as an excuse…

That big old wind skirt – 2024 F250 FX4

ByBob La Londe September 26, 2024

That big old wind skirt. I know many people will have an “opinion,” but I am hoping for a response with somebody who actually “did the math.” (For those who may be literally challenged that is editorial license.) I’d like to hear from somebody who got reasonable mileage numbers over at least a few hundred…
