  1. True. Cars quite often tend to be better for trips anyways. When we went to Disney World last year, our rental ended up an Outback. While roomy, it really wasn’t great for our luggage. Our friends got a rental Ford Fusion- and had plenty of space for their stuff. Cars still have their value out there if folks understood it.... Most folks just want to sit up high with the other trucks/SUVs. Whether it be for ease of entry (like my parents/wife) or just to have that trendy ride.... I ended with my Nox due to the fact it tends to work well for camping..... ?

  3. Not sure.... Can’t decide if they are a bad 80s choice, or cool ones from the future.....
  4. Dinner
  5. Numbers keep climbing here in MI..... then again, we are shooting or stabbing folks who tell them to put on masks.... ?
  6. Veggies
  7. It is such a mess down there.....
  8. That’s an interesting place to put a truck.....
  9. Garden
  10. Bull “poop”
  11. It’s not. I do not expect folks to finish paying the rest either. Not an option for most folks I’ve considered changing my handle as well....

  14. Very interesting. Hope that does not get abused.....
  15. I need to be faster.....

  17. 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....

  19. Just a thought- I would rather have the brands spoken about here than having some up and coming price pointed Chinese junk. My worry is this is where the EV models are headed....people more concerned about the price than if it good or not, a la Amazon......(maybe they will sell them there).....
  20. Credit
  21. Well, the good news is that the sedans can take the beating for the product lines, and in the case of the Camry/Accord- still keep their rep in tact. They will sell less overall- but can offer leases that will still get butts in seats to keep things going for the companies until things are able to pick up again. The Malibu could do the same for GM...keep it and keep it affordable for the customers who are more priced based right now- so GM can still move metal. This also would be better if they still had the Cruze- they could have had an affordable, almost “cavalier” deals (remember how cheap they were?) so they could keep those customers in house- and the hatchback would have really come in handy. Too bad GM simply didn’t switch plants ( Equinox to Lordstown, Cruze to Mexico) as they could still have made money on both...... Ford? Well, since the Fusion is gone- Nissan might not be the only automaker giving stuff away..... People are going to be forced to buy what they can afford again- and can still make memories in a sedan.....
  22. Ford should have thought this one out for sure. Cars should have stuck around as quite a few folks will not be able to afford trucks, and the can’t give away the trucks by leasing right now either. This was my worry for them before things went bad......Worse part is one of their best products could fail now because few will able to afford it.... I’ll leave the unemployment thing alone- but I actually expect it to rise again before fall starts.... Also makes me question what other automakers will sell...they will need cheaper products to keep the companies going- as higher priced SUV/CUV and trucks will be unaffordable to most consumers as things start to really get rough. I think Honda and Toyota might be in better shape as they have the Civic/Accord and Camry/Corolla sedans they can sale price and ride out the storm with most of it’s product line in tact.... Lots of things happening now....
  23. Yep, had the same problem here....gate to see my water bill! ? Sadly it’s not helping much either.....
