Hope everyone is doing well. Was reminiscing on this forum this morning. Been a part of it a long time and was shaped a lot from it. Without Sean's input I've finally succumbed to the dark side (Apple) Apple phone, watch, headphones and macbook Air :). I moved on from engineering to IT at a bank (USAA). Loved the work and hated the management to I moved to something where I don't love the work, but I do love the management. Lost my Dad a couple weeks ago. Feels weird being 35 yrs old and having lost my Mom and Dad already. However, my dad was similar, lost his dad at 3 months and his mom at 35 years. Hope everyone is doing well here! Miss jumping on this forum everyday to see the shenanigans. It's still the first bookmark on all my Chrome windows.

I really loved the Mustang ecoboost I've driven, other than I didn't feel like I could see around me.

That will be a great time when my kids get there. Too bad I don't have any of my old school stuff (except the MAW-10 I have in my house)

This weekend, I was headed home from camping, pulling the RV and blew the heater hoses Quick fix though, so we good!

Everything worked out great! The work got done and I was out a $100 deductible. The wife loves her Momster Machine. It goes the RV well and gets good gas mileage for something with a 3.73 rear end. Overall, there are still a few other quirks but even with the change in the market it’s still very hard to find a car like ours for close to the same price.

What’s the current recommendation for a diy wax/sealant/coating. Going to claybar, m105, m205 and seal the wife’s new vehicle. my black fire wet diamond is getting old and separating so if I’m going to spend the time I’ll get a new bottle of something to seal. not sure if I have the capacity/time to ceramic coat but would consider it. Don’t need the paint to be perfect just want to protect and make it easy to clean!

It ended up taking about a week once it got to the dealer who actually did the work. We started off at the Chevrolet dealer I bought it from, then took it to a close dealer who assessed it. When the dealer realized it was going to be thousands in work, they opted to send it to their own dealer that's about 45 min away. Fortunately, they covered everything and we got to fully test it out by towing our RV last weekend and everything was good to go!

Fun story, we ended up with a 2019 Expedition Limited for a crazy low price ($30,000). I knew the cam phasers were probably wearing out, but at that price I could eat $4000 in repairs and still be ahead. 1 week later the check engine light comes on. Cam codes and cat converter. I take to the dealer (who had a 3 month 3K mile warranty on it). Turns out it needs the cam phasers and the catalytic converter replaced. Total price is about 5K. They are currently sending it down to there Ford dealer to perform the work. So it looks like it’s all going to work out. Only downside is I’m paying on a vehicle I can’t actually use at the moment.

We are potentially looking at a Navigator. Drove a 2019 and it is absolutely insane how nice and smooth they are.

Yeah, if you need to tow more than 100 miles at a time an electric vehicle is impractical at the moment.

Curious what you guys think on this. This is a Google Maps view of the lights at the intersection. This is the exact view you get going through the light. Note how the lights are point off to the side. I'm wondering if this is an up-to-code setup (it's temporary for the construction).

Fun to see a little action on here! I got in a wreck last month. Ran a light under a highway and got T-boned by a sedan. The initial estimate to fix my truck is a couple of thousand away from totaling it. I REALLY hope they do. The wife and I are talking about selling her car and getting something like a used Lincon Navigator to use as the big family vehicle and tow pig. I would find something cheap (preferably with a stick shift) to use around town. I don't drive much anymore with my work-from-home job, so we can go down to one vehicle pretty easily. Also, have my dad's Bronco sport available to drive almost any time.

I'll be headed up to Colorado for a week, on the south side of Denver. Looking forward to escaping the heat and getting in some hikes!

I’m honestly 6 month in to a work from home job with a low end chair my wife still has from college. Lol My wife uses a medicine ball mostly. I’d be interested to hear options as well!

6 channel is a hard sell for me because I normally wouldn't have 6 speakers I want to send similar power levels to in a vehicle. If I'm doing 3 way, I would likely have a beastly 2 chan and small 4 chan or a beastly 4 chan and small 2 chan. 5 chan is perfect for an active 2 way and sub, which is much more my wheel house.
