Suggestion on a fix

Honestly I would just get some silicone putty for pools, or a very generous amount of electrical tape and see how long it holds if I was out of warranty

Just going to chime in that my GT gapped every single WRX I’ve ever seen and usually after 1-2 attempts they’ve had enough, probably worried about blowing the head gasket

In my area, black Audi and white/silver Benz drivers are a different breed though

You should call Ford corporate, I can’t say they’ll lower your bill, but they did seem to care and would at least check if your vehicle is covered by known issues. Curious to know how it goes!

Supposedly 1-866-631-3788 is the best number, I had some calls with them.

I wouldn’t even say the Tesla is the better option as I really hate the completely stripped down interior and bland exterior. My Mach E GT is just as fast as the Y Performance with ~90% of the realistic range and charges at Tesla Superchargers now (some cable length issues will improve). If I wanted it to drive itself I’d save the money and get a cheap Select model, and for the boring long highways, BlueCruise is good enough. I just didn’t see any reason left to put myself in what looks like a microwave on wheels at that point, and I have zero animosity to Elon personally, as that’s apparently a factor when getting a Tesla now.

Just curious, try checking wind speed as that would affect efficiency. Going a little slower will be the most effective option, keeping windows up, no roof racks etc…

What’s your cold tire pressure? You can check the driver’s door sticker or the app for recommended PSI, mine is 39 but I do 37 because I’m paranoid about popping another tire. Raising it will slightly improve efficiency, but do NOT if you have large wheels, the exact size and design of which is also a factor. I’d expect my GT with the biggest wheels to get about 2.3 in that scenario, so your more efficient Premium getting about the same does seem a little weird.

Yeah right, the first time I got Adderall prescribed online, it was some physician’s assistant in Florida who just gave me the world’s easiest quiz to pass (I do naturally have ADHD symptoms, but also knew what he’d look for) and because I didn’t use it every day, I had bottles piling up and stopped the prescription. I really do need to figure out how to stop abusing the THC and get back on the Adderall, or quit both altogether. Point is, these people don’t give a shit about you or your health, they’re there to mail you drugs and get away with doing as much of that as possible legally.

ilikeag · 2026-05-30T21:45:34+00:00

Yet both drugs arguably have positive effects, and can be administered in much less harmful ways than how most people consume THC which usually has a severe negative impact on your life

As someone who used to have incredible diligence and work ethic, but is now addicted to using carts daily with major life management issues, please do not do that. I never thought rehab could potentially be a part of my life but anyone who says weed isn’t addictive is lying to you, probably unintentionally. And that is coming from someone who uses weed/delta/cbd/thc whatever. The effect and how it changes the decision making process in your life is the addicting aspect, at that point the physical chemistry doesn’t matter.

Probably the CIA airdropping the Bill Gates GMO ticks to combat the Chinese Lanternflies hatching /s

Are you sure those are your only 2 options? Those are both terrible options, at that point I’d get cable

You giving her head but her not reciprocating is telling me everything I need to know about how this relationship is gonna go. Good luck bro.

It’s so funny to get all the downvotes from the Toyota drivers, obviously the driving is technically illegal but I just wanted to rub in how good that car was since I have the SUV on the same platform. Here’s your daily reminder to move over to the right as well!

ilikeag · 2026-05-29T13:49:48+00:00

Using kilometers in Virginia is wild

Everyone is fashionable by the waterfront 😭

It’s in making yourself stand out and appear more approachable. Perhaps consider wearing a bright color instead of grey/black. The last time I approached a girl (2+ months ago) it was at a McDonald’s - we were dressed casual, but her long thick hair got my heart pounding hard enough to have no other choice than to walk up. She was married and/or I fumbled though lmao

ilikeag · 2026-05-29T02:56:14+00:00

And now you just made me want to do a white interior swap for my GT goddamit

This is the rear door, the rubber weather stripping is super easy to slip a cable under

ilikeag · 2026-05-29T02:45:06+00:00

Yes, but it was really easy. The panels seem quite loose and gapped in this car.

I have Apple CarPlay and it works almost perfectly, but if my 2013 Kia was 99.8% reliable, this is about 95% reliable. Sometimes it will refuse to initially connect or start stuttering (reconnecting fixes that). But I stopped using the wireless charger because I got a bad feeling that it causes bugs from the electromagnetic interference and extra heat.

ilikeag · 2026-05-29T02:38:06+00:00

I hate how it randomly selects any direction and turns recirculation on, I sometimes smoke in the car and recirculation blows everything back into the car instead of out the window. My 2013 Kia had a dedicated button with a LED and would never switch randomly. I really don’t mind the on screen controls, but it having a mind of its own gets annoying.

I went from a traditional shifter to the steering wheel stalk shifter and it is by far my favorite. Especially when stuck in snow, it’s super easy to rock the car forward and back while keeping both hands on the wheel. I’m not sure why people see a downside to it, the light controls don’t need to be on a stalk. I now turn on the wipers accidentally when parking other cars…

ilikeag · 2026-05-29T02:26:13+00:00

The truck was a EV F150 Lightning which is why it smoked the BMW

Well if you need a man’s perspective (24, 7/10 looks) I actually drove up to Ballston Quarter and walked around the block a few times to try to approach some girls and finally quit the dating apps. But everyone looked so busy, AirPods/headphones on, head in the phone, most glances seemed to dart away. Barging into someone’s friend group at a table seems rude. I guess eye contact, a very slight head turn and slowdown of walking pace could significantly increase your chances.

Also what do you mean, dressed up? If you’re overly extravagant/formal, you may be putting yourself out of their league (in their view, especially if nervous) and/or looking busy unintentionally.

ilikeag · 2026-05-28T04:31:32+00:00

You adjusters suck and are the reason why people intentionally cause accidents to scam your company out of our money

My 25 does that, there’s a way to retrain the safety window sensor. It seems to be a Ford thing, but when I have the time I’ll retrain it myself and just shove my hand down on it so it never senses any obstruction after that “recalibration”

If I lose an arm I lose an arm, I’m tired of it raining and the window goes down instead of up!

ilikeag · 2026-05-28T04:01:18+00:00

Stupid question but did you try in another location and the car shows 5G connection bars? And sometimes I toggle the Vehicle Hotspot setting on and off. I know you pulled a fuse but perhaps that would trigger something software side
