Well, it’s official. The Maverick is totaled. It’s a shame, Ford built a good little truck, I often averaged over 50 miles per gallon in this thing.
Other than the couple of toys that I have had, this truck has taken me to the fewest number of NASCAR races of anything I’ve owned
Did the Detroit Grand Prix, Michigan international Speedway, Toledo Speedway, Berlin raceway, flat rock Speedway. And that’s it.
But let this be a lesson to all of you. do not drink and drive, and definitely did not get sh*tfaced drunk and ride your motorcycle at 120 miles an hour down the freeway. Not only will your life be in danger, but you will also endanger the lives of many others.
I was driving straight with cruise control set on an empty freeway and I was still hit at an incredible rate of speed by a guy who had the entire freeway to himself.  that caused my little truck to start sliding sideways and pure talent behind the wheel was the only thing that kept my family safer than they were at that moment.
With that being said, when you know everything about cars, car shopping sucks
