I was specing one of the new Ford Mavericks. One thing I want is a rear sliding window... until recently every truck I've owned had one.Except very often the manufacturer "bundles" a feature one needs with a useless to them feature.
The window is $155... but to get it you first have to buy a package for $690 which consists of a full sized spare plus
• BLIS® with Cross-Traffic Alert
• Lane-Keeping System (Lane-Keeping Aid, Lane-Keeping Alert and Driver Alert System)...
So to get what I want I have to pay more money for items which I would then turn off.
I think I'll buy a used Subaru instead.
I got behind somebody last week who made up for those who don't. He was in an old F250 poking along, and it was downright scary being behind him; he was constantly in the ditch or over the center line and I believe that the front end was probably shot.They need to charge a monthly fee for people who do not use their turn signals.
I finally found a place to pass and was just pulling out when he put on his left blinker so I slowed again... and he kept on driving. That happened several more times and there was no way I was going to try to get by him. I believe that he was signaling me to pass but that's not what a blinker is for, and when I'm not sure what someone is doing I give them a wide berth.
