Bought my Maverick from this dealership and the purchase process was great. There was an oil pressure light on and when I came back cause I forgot my favourite hat I got the ‘sorry it’s under ford warranty so just call a tow truck’. This was 2 days after purchase. Didn’t like the outright...

Loved Screaming Heads when I went many years ago with @shanekingsley. There’s also a pierogi food truck in Burks Falls iirc.

Back when I was a service advisor we didn’t get commission on the jobs we sold, so we were there to get cars fixed and have happy customers. Now, service advisors are salesmen and women and they get a cut of the sale for servicing work. So there’s the added benefit for them to push unnecessary...

@ReSTored I'm also west Mississauga near Dundas / Mavis. Have an awesome mechanic that I find to be an honest, and reasonably priced guy. Very happy with the service and will highly recommend. Will shoot you a PM.

I’ve had multiple dealers tell me I’m out to lunch asking for a discount on their cars…shockingly those cars are still up for sale….6-8 months later. Guess I wasn’t out to lunch as far as they said.

@Wingboy is right. It would fit into a bag on a trip. Paddock stand won’t do that.

I stand corrected. Didn’t think the SnapJack was stable enough to be removing wheels. Oops.

Sure. But paying premiums on odyssey, sienna, Maverick or any car that’s normal and high production…fools. Paying extra for a GT3RS or anything in limited numbers…one can make a profit.

Cool tool but seems inherently unstable. I’d much prefer this for the same task. https://www.temu.com/ca/-motorcycle-wheel-cleaning-stand-portable-paddock-roller-for-street-bikes-off-road-fits-tires-up-to-180mm-g-601099663053015.html

Zero sympathy. Dumb enough to pay the premiums? You deserve it.

I love it and would be very happy if it shows up on our market. Unfortunately I don't think it'll meet all the specs / price levels because we know how things go. The Maverick started out as a 'cheap and affordable' truck...in it's first year of release. Each year Ford kept cranking the price...

Clap loudly and yell 'Hooray! We can now continue with the tour!' Or just give them stink eye and 'tsk tsk tsk' under your breath.

Unfortunately Amazon gift card.

Got a $100 gift card recently as a gift and thinking of adding another $100 to buy myself a decent watch. Any recommendation? I know this isn’t baller money. But spending the $100 on junk is not my preferred option as I’d like to get something to remember the gift. Recommendation?
