    Using the agreed MEB platform from VW, Ford of Europe had their German Engineering team build from the ground up this mid-size crossover that seats five adults in two rows with space for the family gear for the next road adventure.

    This Explorer comes with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive variants, Explorer offers a raft of features to ensure drivers and passengers are as refreshed and ready to go when they have reached their destination as when they set out Comfort-boosting standard specification includes heated front seats and steering wheel, a massaging driver’s seat and climate control that allows driver and front passenger to choose their own temperature. Even returning to the crossover is made simple with standard keyless entry and an available hands-free tailgate that means owners can access the boot when their arms are filled with sports kit using a simple kicking motion beneath the rear bumper.

    Advanced driver assistance systems include, for the first time on a Ford in Europe, Assisted Lane Change for smoothly and safely changing lanes at the push of an indicator stalk, and Clear Exit Assist that provides warnings of approaching cyclists before opening doors in busy city centers.

    • Here's a depiction of where a school age kid is smarter than a teacher! Also, such a teacher would need to meet up with some discipline because these sorts of things happen more so than we think. I once heard a comment about a grade school kid sitting in a car being driven by his parents on the Las Vegas Strip.  He asked how, if casinos were supposedly paying out all this money to customers, they could afford to put up these big fancy buildings.  If you're thinking like that at 10 or 11, you've probably got a Harvard or Stanford MBA in your future.   When I was his age, I just marveled at cool buildings ... and didn't do much further analysis.
    • I had to look up the Feast of San Gennaro in NYC ... courtesy of Neapolitan immigrants since 1926. This crusty dude is of local vintage ... not from the motherland.  He can't pronounce "cacio" correctly because he was probably brought up with a dialect.  It's "ca-cheeo," not "ca-gee-uh."  Love all the blondies who want to culturally appropriate themselves to being Italian.  I've seen these types in language courses in h.s. and college and they can be pretty dumb. I should make it a point to be in NYC during San Gennaro.  The official day in Naples is September 19.  The NYC festival runs about 10 days.  I could get lunch or dinner in Little Italy on a daily basis.  But, take note that a la carte street food + NYC prices can make for a dent.  The a la carte pricing at Greek festivals in secondary cities adds up, so imagine how so in NYC.
    • A teacher asks her classroom of students how many are Trump Fans. All the kids want to be liked by the teacher and raise their hands except for Little Johnny. The teacher asks Little Johnny why he does not like Trump? Little Johnny replies, my mom is a Democrat, my dad is a Democrat and so I will be a Democrat too. The teacher irritated says to Little Johnny, so then if your mom is a Moron and your dad an Idiot, what would that make you? Little Johnny with a grin on his face looks at the teacher and says, "That would make me a Trump Fan!"
    • I will say that my Escalade Steering wheel with the built in knobs on the underside of the steering wheel are just a great comfortable grip for long road trips and confidence that it will not just slip in the hand when turning also on top of leather and heat.
    • And a heated leather wrapped wheel is great in the winter.
