fotomoto Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 when can you start ordering the 2014's and when do they come off the assembly line? Mid-july after their plant wide summer breaks is the typical time frame for model year change over; however, I read: http://money.cnn.com/2013/05/22/news/companies/auto-plants-summer/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtb9153 Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) Any non-Texans who can locate Boerne on a map without first looking it up? (Not me.)Ok I was born in Houston in 1953 but moved out of Texas in 1960, so I don't quite fit the mold as a non-Texan but I do know where Boerne is. It is northwest of San Antonio, southwest of Austin and almost located at the top point of a sideways triangle if you drew lines between Austin, San Antonio, and Beorne. Ok, I cheated, I looked it up on google maps because I'd never heard of it or ever been there. Driven across Texas many times from Northern California to the hometown of my Father. My cousins live there many miles to the northeast of Boerne in the East Texas forest area of Angelina County. A town called Lufkin, Texas and home of Lake Sam Rayburn. I bet as you all read this your saying to yourself...I don't I give a S":T, and that's ok, I would say that if I wasn't from Texas originally, but just wanted to share those facts.

Laurel Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 I love reading about people's lives and such. When I was about 14, I lived in Shamrock, Texas (my dad was American and my mother Canadian). I worked as a bus girl at the Big Texan Restaurant. They had a teenage boy sitting on a horse out front of the restaurant dressed as a cowboy waving at people to bring customers in for the barbeque Texas beef. I had a huge crush on the horse, and a little one on the teenaged boy. One of my jobs was open to large tins of beef that they made into barbeque beef. Tins were stamped "made in Argentina". Even at age 14, I was shocked about the false advertising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went there one time back in the 70's as the family was crossing the panhandle coming from Denver on our way to my Grandparents in East Texas. I was about 19 at the time and thought I could eat a horse. I told my folks I wanted to go for the Big Texan challenge. Which meant I had to eat in an hour a 24 or 32oz 2inch thick steak. Two huge stuffed baked potatoes, two large salads I think, Texas Toast which is big and thick and Lord knows what all else. If I could do it the meal was free and I got my picture and name plastered in the wall of fame. If not then had to pay for it and the price in those days was as big as Texas. Great fun we had there.

C-Maxgo Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 I love the stories too Laurel. The only Texan story I have is that my brother lived in Odessa Texas in the eighties. I think he worked in construction. I've only been to the big airports there on a layover. I was raised in Hagerstown Maryland in the 60's and 70's. My first car was a used 60 something Ford Mustang. I loved the car until I got home and it wouldn't start. Since I wasn't mechanical like all of my brothers my father took me back to the dealership and exchanged the car for a 60's Camero. My C-Max is the first Ford I've had since then. My husband drives a 2004 T-Bird that I love too. He originally bought it for me but after a while we decided to use it as our Sunday car. We drove it for a while with the top down on the cool summer evenings. Then he got rid of his Caddie and has been driving the T-Bird full time since. I don't think I've been anywhere with him in the T-Bird since I got Max. That's okay because he loves to be chaperoned around. Maybe I'll drive him to Texas :shift: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyburn Posted June 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 I love the stories too. I'd really love to be able to share stories of driving around Texas in my CMax......if only it was here. I'm looking forward to taking my CMax all over Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyburn Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 I'm looking forward to reading your stories spyburn! When do you expect to get your CMax?Last I heard, scheduled delivery was "week of July 1". I sent an e-mail to my dealer this morning with the subject line of "stalker, checking in!" My hope is I will be driving my CMax on Monday. However, in order to keep my sanity, I'm telling myself next Saturday....if it is ready earlier, it will be a pleasant surprise!

They're going to do the window tint Monday, so I won't pick it up until then, but I pass the dealership on my way home so I stopped in and got to visit with my new car! :yahoo: ScubaDadMiami and salsaguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should wash off the 1/2 inch layer of dust that accumulated on the car from the very first trip down our dirt road yesterday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyburn Posted June 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 This is what a CMax looks like after her first trip down our dirt road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah Harbinger Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 One of my jobs was open to large tins of beef that they made into barbeque beef. Tins were stamped "made in Argentina". Even at age 14, I was shocked about the false advertising. It's funny - nowadays, Argentinian beef is considered top-rate. Of course, not when it comes in a tin.
