And the Winner Is…

The results are in and a winner has been selected. As you can see by the photo, I really did write down everyone’s name and throw it into an actual hat to make the selection. Although I appreciated the kind and thoughtful comments so many of you took the time to write, in the end there could be no favoritism. Thanks to everyone who entered.

Congratulations to Rcousine who told us that it was “Hard to pick a favorite recent article, but Mr. Lang’s stuff is a consistent delight.” It is sentiment I heartily agree with. I have sent an email to the winner asking him to reply with his real name and address so I can mail him his prize. I’ll be looking for his response to come from the email address he listed when he signed up to become a commenter on our fair website, lest any of you sly dogs try to claim the prize by slipping me your own address in place of his.

Once again, thank you all for your participation. Keep your eyes open for future opportunities to make my trash your treasure. Don’t eat too much and stay warm. Happy Thanksgiving to all of us stateside, and happy holidays to everyone everywhere.

  Not mean spirited Nate, just looking out for everyone since I probably ate enough for everyone. Thanksgiving is one of those times when being married to a Japanese woman is especially difficult. Thank goodness I have some basic kitchen skills and know how to follow the directions in a cookbook.

Kjhkjlhkjhkljh kljhjkhjklhkjh I'd rather they have the old sweep gauges, the hhuuggee left to right speedometer from the 40's and 50's where the needle went from lefty to right like in my 1969 Nova
Buickman I like it!
JMII Hyundai Santa Cruz, which doesn't do "truck" things as well as the Maverick does.How so? I see this repeated often with no reference to exactly what it does better.As a Santa Cruz owner the only things the Mav does better is price on lower trims and fuel economy with the hybrid. The Mav's bed is a bit bigger but only when the SC has the roll-top bed cover, without this they are the same size. The Mav has an off road package and a towing package the SC lacks but these are just some parts differences. And even with the tow package the Hyundai is rated to tow 1,000lbs more then the Ford. The SC now has XRT trim that beefs up the looks if your into the off-roader vibe. As both vehicles are soft-roaders neither are rock crawling just because of some extra bits Ford tacked on.I'm still loving my SC (at 9k in mileage). I don't see any advantages to the Ford when you are looking at the medium to top end trims of both vehicles. If you want to save money and gas then the Ford becomes the right choice. You will get a cheaper interior but many are fine with this, especially if don't like the all touch controls on the SC. However this has been changed in the '25 models in which buttons and knobs have returned.
Analoggrotto I'd feel proper silly staring at an LCD pretending to be real gauges.
Gray gm should hang their wimpy logo on a strip mall next to Saul Goodman's office.
