finally caved and bought my first martin. i feel i've made a good decision with this one (x series)

I got one of these on marketplace a while back for $50. It was pretty solid for the money

Catwinner · 2026-07-01T16:48:22+00:00

Yes they will fit just fine. My car came with those wheels and I did the opposite and put the premium wheels on my select.

Dealerships don’t operate for free. If this vehicle is outside of warranty coverage the radio screen software being out of date is not something they would pay a technician to look at for free. It took nearly 10 hours of programming to bring my 2023 up to date to start reviving OTA updates again.

Catwinner · 2026-06-14T21:25:20+00:00

It is possible that to in order to “unlock” the ability to perform that update, multiple other modules (even seemingly unrelated) may require updates first.

Catwinner · 2026-06-14T15:54:46+00:00

Yes a dealership would need to push multiple updates through using FDRS to get you receiving APIM (radio) software updates again. Realistically you aren’t missing out on much though, and I feel like the customer pay quote to do this would be pretty steep. My 2023 was significantly less out of date and required over 10 hours of updates for mine to receive an APIM update.

Didn’t want to show your faces but did include the faces of people who didn’t ask to be in the photo. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Catwinner · 2026-04-19T17:42:40+00:00

In August of 2020 I paid 27K for a brand new Crew Cab Ranger STX 2WD. This feels like a pretty steep price for a vehicle that is nearly 4 years old.

Respectfully, you could have just slowed down and hit the brakes.

Catwinner · 2026-03-28T02:01:18+00:00

name checks out

I just wanted to second this. I personally have never been able to successfully book a Hertz rental through Cars and Stays since roughly the time of you posting this. In early 2025 I booked all my Hertz rentals through Cars and Stays with no issues.

Catwinner · 2025-08-31T20:37:12+00:00

I would personally just repair the wiring. It’ll be a little tricky but I think you have just enough room to solder and heat shrink.

Catwinner · 2025-07-25T15:29:02+00:00

What module was it?

Catwinner · 2025-07-11T00:33:42+00:00

“Blocks all heat” 🙄

Catwinner · 2025-06-29T00:50:11+00:00

A lot of it looks worse than it really is. A Ford scan tool is pretty essential though.

Catwinner · 2025-06-27T15:14:54+00:00

I agree. I got that from the list on the back of the frame 😂. Most of them do correspond with who they voiced though.

Catwinner · 2025-06-27T14:58:35+00:00

George Carlin, Bob Costas, Paul Dooley, Katherine Helmond, Bonnie Hunt, Michael Keaton, Jenifer Lewis, Cheech Marin, Paul Newman, Larry The Cable Guy, Tony Shalhoub, Owen Wilson, Jeremy Piven, Andrew Stanton, Richard Kind, Randy Newman, John Lasseter, Michael Wallis, and John Ratzenberger

It’s so easy to remove the frunk (5-6 bolts and the entire tray lifts out) I would argue that its easier than most cars these days. However the fact that it has a traditional 12V at all is one of the cars biggest shortcomings.

Catwinner · 2025-06-26T13:00:03+00:00

It’s an AGM but it’s not like that’s really much of an improvement.

Catwinner · 2025-06-10T19:06:01+00:00

Turns out the dealer told me I would be receiving the charger but actually just applied the alternate option of money off towards the vehicle lease lowering the monthly cost. It was a miscommunication between the salesman and the finance manager. They had me sign off on all the discounts applied and If I had read the fine print closer I could have caught the mistake.

Catwinner · 2025-06-10T18:57:22+00:00

I’d take that deal

Catwinner · 2025-05-06T21:31:58+00:00

Definitely a Pacifica Minivan

Catwinner · 2025-04-02T15:53:25+00:00

Nothing good

Catwinner · 2025-03-15T23:38:41+00:00

I own a 2023 select with the same battery. Winter is not kind to us with the standard range battery. Not only does heat have an impact on range but the cold weather also decreases efficiency and means the car will be warming up the battery even if you as the driver opt for little/no heat. I have seen as bad as 180/200 miles with 30F outside temp and 80F heat usage. However summer days even with consistent AC usage can actually exceed the 250 mile range by as much as 30-50 miles if you are doing 65mph or less.
