Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So. Not gonna buy a Ford.
After experiencing to joys owning a Ford, this would have been my recommendation from the onset. Well before this particular event.
For example: Do you like replacing your car's battery if it dies? Have you been able to do it in every other past vehicle you've owned? TOO FUCKING BAD it's behind parts of the engine you must remove to get access to it.
Everything about my wife's 2014 Ford Escape is awful to replace. Almost everything you should be able to replace as an average person (I'm not a car guy), requires a mechanic or more time and effort to do simply because it's a Ford. It's uncomfortable inside, despite its size as well, because they try to fill every inch of the interior with plastic. To hold stuff like buttons or storage, I hear you posture? Nope! Just a cold, oddly formed blanket of stiff plastic to limit any sort of leg space.
I absolutely hate Ford vehicles after, now, owning or owning-adjacent a few of them across varying types of cars. They are some of the worst to drive, worst to own, and worst to service vehicles I have ever had the misfortune to suffer through.
