Maverick update
Mar. 4th, 2022 04:20 pmAmid a lot of irritating nuisances yesterday there came a surprise bit of goodness:
Ford sent an e-mail telling me that my long-awaited Maverick pickup truck is now scheduled to be built in April. That will be eight months since I ordered it and put down my deposit.
I continue to be amused by "criticisms" from various sources. Consumer Reports listed four things they didn't like about the Maverick. One was that "it doesn't sound like a truck." Idiots.
It's a hybrid vehicle. Yes, they don't sound like a dinosaur farting. Or smell like one for that matter. They DO, however reduce carbon emissions and fossil fuel consumption, both of which characteristics I happen to like very much.
I can use a little humor. The season of mud is upon us, definitely not my favorite time.
