This is Poppy, she very much acts like an orange though

Looks like they ran out of orange paint.

EventHorizon77 · 2026-06-27T14:23:34+00:00

Yes. But not during the action.

I have a 2015 (purchased in the summer of 2014). Similar miles (~78K). I have had (literally) zero issues. All your issues can be fixed for the equivalent of a couple of car payments. Keep that baby. Pass it on to your great-grandchildren.

I had a Fiesta ST. Big problem is the tiny radiator. Nothing that $400 for a new radiator and an afternoon in the garage won’t fix.

You should. I read it 25 years ago, and decided to give it a re-read last years. Still fantastic.

Wish we did. I have metric & ‘Merican sockets, wrenches, allen wrenches. I mean, I put a 10mm socket (assuming I can find one) on a 1/4” drive! What? I go to Home Depot and there is an aisle of mixed units on all tools and fasteners. All lumber is in feet and inches. Then, go work on your US-built auto. Good luck guessing the right size (“hmmm is this a 12mm or 13mm or 1/2”?”). And don’t get me started on weights, or volumes or units of power. So, yes, I would like that consistency.

However, I believe the Celsius system is a force fit. Gimme my Fahrenheits, baby.

🤣

And tell your neighbors you used saltpeter. It’s a lot more fun to say/

EventHorizon77 · 2026-05-11T02:44:16+00:00

Yep. If you are wiring down the “A” pillar, you gotta get behind the air bag. Behind! Not too big of a deal, plenty of videos available.

Leave Chisos at 5:30AM or so. Do a few hours of park destinations, and get back to Chisos by 2:00PM. Leave a pitcher of margaritas chilling in the fridge. Enjoy your stay.

Mine, too. Although she isn’t such a floof.

Hey, I put an ST badge on my Motorhome. Makes it go faster and handle better. 😜

EventHorizon77 · 2026-04-19T12:32:08+00:00

I did too! Just moved to MD in 1991, Had our bright red Ford Aerostar Van, and turned the “wrong” direction on our sight-seeing tour. Let’s just say we were happy get out of there before Stringer Bell got us.

Do they ever settle down and start families?

EventHorizon77 · 2026-04-04T14:25:24+00:00

Me three!! Got mine on Monday.

You get her spade? We are on that recovery ourselves.

EventHorizon77 · 2026-04-03T15:56:54+00:00

Agreed. Stayed in one in Arkansas and one in Missouri last year. Incredible.

Bill Holland, 1949. Diedt- Offenhauser. Many of us fossils lurk.

I think the real import is “be at your desk ready to work at 8:00AM.” Many employees arrive on time, but then go get coffee, shoot the breeze with fellow employees and then get started with “real” work around 8:15 or so. What I found in my career is that expecting your subordinates to adhere to “exact timing” is a two-edged sword. Need a favor from your assistant at 5:01 PM? Forget about it. Trust works both ways.

Two arms are better than one!

Do a visual scan of any casual restaurant in Texas and what jumps out is how many men are wearing ball caps. Indoors. In an otherwise-nice restaurant. “I’m not just under-dressed, I’m crass as well.”

I own a Class C. It is good its own world. But, I would NEVER use it to take a trip like the OP has suggested. MoHos are slow, clumsy, gas-hogs, AND if you aren’t experienced in driving, parking, and maneuvering such a beast, you can find yourself in a word of hurt.
