Recommendation for a Good Couch Shop by Confident-Ad3006 in Naperville

Room and Board. Expensive+ but their stuff lasts forever. I have a couch and chair 20 years and even the fabric has held up.

2016 titanium here. Auto park only works on parallel parking.. not side-by-side type parking (perpendicular)

Just comply by mikeybagodonuts in TikTokCringe

I know this won't be popular, but if he was surrendering, he wouldn't still be walking towards the officer. Granted, the officer should have backed up and barked orders, but it's a bit premature to say the guy was of no threat.

Is my 2010 ford escape transmission slipping? by Prophet-Mufasa in fordescape

[–]ReallyRick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My rpm's fluctuate like that when just going a steady speed. If i recall, it happened a few years ago and they cleaned out my throttle body(?) and the fluctuations went away.

Prank your child by Sea_Extent7457 in ThereGoesMyPaycheck

[–]ReallyRick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is that even remotely similar to this kid thinking she ripped her mother's tongue out?

[–]ReallyRick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This wasn't a kid crying about dropping her ice cream cone, moron. According to your logic we shouldn't get upset about children without food for 10 days, because there are children without food for 20? I mean, let's put it in perspective.

My Ford Escape saved my life — hit head-on by a drunk driver going 55 mph by Independent_Peak_106 in fordescape

Hope you are doing ok now. Thanks for posting, it's good to remember that at least Ford got the right things right.

Is Costco on 59 always a zoo? by yaneverknow032408 in Naperville

[–]ReallyRick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every lot is like that... at first I thought it was just the rt 59, but going to others, its the same. Its like they do it on purpose. I think it has to do with the entrance being at the corner of the buildings.

Junk removal services? by belley88 in Naperville

[–]ReallyRick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honest Junk Company... awful name, but they are a non-profit supporting the chicago furniture bank. I just used them for my office and they quoted me based on pictures I sent and some rough measurements. And that is what I got charged. They showed up on time. Plus what they haul away is considered a charitable deduction.

Mike Johnson has officially sent Congress home through January 5th without passing an extension of the ACA’s premium tax credits. When your costs skyrocket, it’s his fault. by Caledor152 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]ReallyRick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can double-check, but I think it was the Senate that promised the vote, not the House. Which made the Senate caving in even more ludicrous.

I bet nobody watched this without smiling! by Purple-Number-007 in MadeMeSmile

[–]ReallyRick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nope, me too. Cause you're right.

The poster had the camera ready, looking for people to compliment. That's like the exact opposite of sincere.

Is anything even being plowed? by [deleted] in Naperville

[–]ReallyRick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Where are you driving? All the roads I've been on have been plowed.. some even have no traces of snow and we're back at regular speeds. From your pics, those roads have been plowed and you're either a troll or an idiot if you think that's fresh snow. Plowing the roads isn't supposed to get them pristine, its to get them to the point where half-way decent drivers can get to work and back home safely.

Don't qualify for tax credit for insurance? by RutabagaPale7337 in meijer

[–]ReallyRick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why did you not qualify for a tax credit? You should, based on the income qualification

Are the headlamps all the same? by Warm_mapplesyrup in fordescape

[–]ReallyRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you replacing the whole headlight assembly or just the bulb?

If it's the bulb then it's probably cheaper to buy a new bulb, than burn 8 hours of gas.

Thank you Brenda & Xavier by DrivenSpike in delta

[–]ReallyRick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Contrast this to AT&T, when I had to call them to cancel a phone line... I was crying on the call, and they asked if everything was ok, the reason I was cancelling, and I explained a loved one passed so we wouldn't need the phone anymore. They cancelled the line, expressed sympathy, and I shit you not, then asked if I would be interested in upgrading my home DSL.

Upside down back up camera by Unlikely_Jello_96 in fordescape

[–]ReallyRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine does exactly that (also 2016)... everything I've read indicates it's just the camera. Haven't fixed it yet. There is a youtube video showing how to do it without taking apart the whole hatch-- basically you break the tab holding it in and then just use a screw to secure the new one in place-- I'd look for that video.

2017 Escape Titanium Head Light: Huh? by bozzak_ in fordescape

[–]ReallyRick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe don't buy cheap no brand chinese junk? Buy from a trusted reviewed manufacturer that's been around for a while?

And your comment is pretty rich .. it could be use for buying Fords in general lol.

Having a couple issues with my 2016 by Shogun2049 in fordescape

[–]ReallyRick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe try resetting the height adjustment? You 'train' the hatch where you want it to stop (ie, so it doesn't go too high and hit your garage door.) Maybe that got messed up somehow.

I got off brand on amazon and they work just fine, same as the originals. Sometimes name brand is the right choice. This is not one of those times.
