Happy Bastille Day, C&G folks ... whether or not you're a Francophile doesn't matter. France is also red, white, and blue (realistically blue, white, and red) and gave us the Statue of Liberty, too, not to mention an incredible chunk of our vocabulary - cachet, rendezvous, guillotine, RSVP, libertine, attache', hors d'oeuvres, etc. Took 3 years of it in high school. Good times.

@ocnblu This was my inspiration.

He grew up now. More mature. USA-1: "Hey Dfelt. All grown up and going to town. Look at this. End of an era. DFELT! Hey OH!!!! Come ere!!! " Dave: "Let me say hello. Hey USA! How are ya!" USA-1 "Come over here! Havent seen you in 6 phoquing years. End of an era, Jesus Christ! Your name looks terrific! How you feelin?!" Dave: "Watch the name! Watch the name!" USA-1: "You little Dfelt you! I know you all my life. End of an era. You gettin' too big for me, now." Dave: "Dont go bustin' my balls USA, Okay?!" USA-1: "Hey, if I wanted to bust your balls Id call you phoquin' DeeFelt." Dave: "Im no longer Dfelt, man! Just Dave! I dont do DFELT no mo."

Very interesting. Hope that does not get abused.....

Nice one, but I never go by Dave, I am DAVID, Introverts tend to be Dave, Extroverts tend to be David. Ya should know that by now about me!

Too bad I cannot see Gigabit speeds for less than $113/month using Xfinity. Having said that, they did discount it to $80/month for 12 months. CenturyLink DSL is stuck at 25Mbps and would cost about $70/month. LAME

Shorter but wider than a Tacoma or Colorado. Kinda puny for a "fullsize".

Ford is basically giving cars and trucks away. I just saw a commercial where if you lose your job within the first year of purchase or lease from Ford Credit you can just return the vehicle to your Ford dealer. Pretty desperate move, but seeing the sales numbers it's not surprising.

Do you ever wake up in the morning with Numbness or tingly fingers? If so that is carpal tunnel early stages, get a hand brace to sleep in. Did wonders for my left hand, but the right being dominate had to be fixed with surgery.

Yes, decided I would be transparent on my actual name. Grew up in a group of 7 David's, 3 went by Dave, very soft spoken, introverts, but nice guys. The other 4 of us are clearly extroverts and much louder and aggressive. We still get together every so often and hang out talking about the past. Very interesting paths we all have taken. David is me! Like you, figure it was time to just go with my name than anything else Robert. Hope your having a good week. I am, work is going well, as I poke poke poke with my left hand.

I agree with the horizontal setup. If the vehicle is wide enough, I think it looks better and is probably easier to quickly glance and navigate as your eyes don't need to drop and come back up as much to get back to the road. The Rivian is full-size truck sized though, compared to the Mach-E. it doesn't look like you can turn the screen in the Mach-E and have it make sense.

I was really hoping they were going to keep the Fusion around at least a while longer. Folks are going to need affordable rides- and the trucks/CUVs are going to be expensive even on leases. (Unless they starting giving them away) The Fusion would give them that option without really losing money (cheap updates) for the folks with a very tight budget. As cool as the Bronco is- cost is still going to be an issue....

No more "dfelt" huh? End of an era I definitely would prefer the horizontal landscape setup touchscreen on the Rivian if it has to be nearly the size of my computer monitor over the vertical portrait setup Ford has with the Mach-e Stang and Tesla for that matter, too obtrusive.

It’s so you.

Yeah, I could see EVs being commodity appliances. But are enough people willing to drop $40k or more on an unknown brand appliance? Maybe if they are made available as monthly subscriptions/leases... I could see someone 'subscribing' to an EV online, have it delivered to their house, then use it for a period of time (24 months?), subscription is up, it gets picked up and disposed of, a new, improved one is dropped off....just like a phone... strange new world..
