And Mr Wallenda knew a thing or two about tightropes, but he isn't with us any more..............? How about the captain of the Titanic .He was going too fast. Were is he now......?

Years back I had a clunky Chevett worth about $500, that I used just to go to work One morning I parked in the company lot. I was early so I sat in the car getting a few extra ZZZs. A few minutes later a fellow employee that I new, pulled in beside me. As soon as he opened his door a sudden wind gust ripped the door from his hand and slammed his door in to my driver side door. The look on his face was panic and terror. He could not believe what had happened. I got out and took a look at my car. The dent in my car was right in the middle of the door , six inches deep and 18 inches in diameter! I casually said to him,"That's ok, forget about it". He was so relieved. He would not be required to pay $800 to repair a door on a car worth $500. I didn't like the huge dent in my car, but it sure made me feel good letting him off the hook.

My life time 47.3 -- Pittsburgh, Pa--- 5,000+ miles I watch the brakes and take it easy-- that's it

MY LIFE TIME MPG IS 47.2 -- I JUST TAKE IT EASY.

Just a thought .......Ford Road Assistance and AAA may refuse to mount any doughnut wheel on the C Max (you know, insurance crap). Maybe check with Ford and AAA before the need .

The cmax manual seat works very good. My last car was a Cadillac CTS with electric seats with memory. I don't miss the electric seats at all. My wife is 5' and I am 6'. I do miss the memory electric mirrors, a little!

Sounds like that SEL for $26000 never existed. The old "Bait And Switch" trick

I was on an eight hour road trip when this happened to me five times. I got it working again buy pushing all the control buttons including the off/on button. I don't know what combination was correct but sooner or later it would start working again. I would have the air on speed 2 and it would start getting warm so I would switch to a higher speed with no affect. I put my hand over the air vent to check the amount of air flow. No matter what speed I set the fan at the air flow felt like number 1 speed or less. I could hear the fan running at different speeds, but the air flow from the air vent would still be at number 1 or less. When ever I would get it working normal again it would work for about 30-60 minutes then I would have to repeat the process again. I only had trouble on this one day.The next day the air conditioner worked normal and has for the last five weeks. I guess you're right, "Reboot"

1961 Chevy Impala 348 cu in, four door hardtop. Didn't get very good gas mileage, but it did have a spare tire!

What are the negatives of each of these upgrades? What do we lose, to gain this additional mpg?

I had a first model year Cadillac CTS 2003 ($35000. list) --- what a hunk of junk ! I had two problems with it the day I drove it out of the dealership. After two shop visits,one problem was fixed. After six additional shop visits the second was never fixed. I have had many many other problems with the car. I kept the Cadillac for ten years (68000 miles) then traded it in on my C Max. I drove the C Max out of the dealership without any problems for the last 1500 miles. I'm way ahead of the Cadillac ! The C Max isn't as pretty, but it rides smoother, is quieter, cost less, has the same amount of room inside, and oh yea, gets over twice the gas mileage (48.5 lifetime).

WAX ?

I'm a Pa. guy and an Ice Storm guy, but I did own a 68 Mustang painted Red ! -- Welcome

I think we are looking for WIND DEFLECTORS

I have heard the same noise but not very often. It sounds like the rear hatch is not latched completely. I'll take a look at it later but I think this is just the way it is supposed to be. 1153 miles/ 48.0 MPG

Just the last 1/2 mile

Every time I see those visor clips on someone's visor -- I think -- If there was an accident, you could get that clip stuck in your head ! I don't put anything (clips,pens, stick pins..)on my visor, that could get stuck in my head.

What size are your shoes?

Directions---- Set heat to number 5 and use for two hours- Then lower to number 1 ---Now, number 1 will feel great. Serious- I'm ok with 1 & 2 -- My wife has used as high as 3

Before I purchased my C Max I read the reviews about Mpg. I thought I would get 37-39 Mpg driving the C Max. That was good enough for me, so I purchased the car. Now my life time Mpg (800 miles) is 46.8 -- and increasing. This car loves me. (Pittsburgh,Pa)

I live at the top of a hill. Every time I leave home I drag the brake while traveling down the hill. When I get to the bottom of the hill my battery is completely charged up. So, don't get a charger or a dyno , just move to a hill top location. you'll enjoy the view better also. I thought all hybrid owners lived on hill top locations
