Yeah, we get the sprinkling of snow, which I'm glad we do not get more. I hate the stuff. I'm not far enough south. I'll get more pics when I'm able to and the weather cooperates. I'm still trying to line up a shop to do PPF and also tint my door windows. And I need to clean it, badly.
Yeah, I do not like dealerships...that whole "let me check with the manager on that" and the back/forth is such a waste of time. I"m not young anymore and the thought of spending hours in a dealership just seems so stupid.
FYI, Ford has 2 plants here in Louisville. Looks like they might idle (yet again) the Escape plant:
Ford Motor Co.’s Louisville Assembly Plant is tentatively planning to shut down for two additional weeks in late January and early February.

You hate snow? How dare you! Whelp....Me too!😁 That’s why I’m permanently retiring to Florida in the next 14 years, I’ve already got my plans set (Was originally Fort Myers Beach, but now it’s looking like Florida Keys.) I like snow, to be more specific, it’s the salt that I have the biggest problem with. It’s corrosive to vehicle paint and over the course of time, destroys the underbody of a vehicle.
Even with ceramic coating my cars, more specifically my dailies with the SHO/Prius, it makes a huge difference with the salt washing off much easier and it doesn’t stick nearly as easy as a vehicle that’s non-ceramic coated, but there’s nothing you can do to stop the salt on a vehicle, and that’s my biggest gripe. Because where there’s snow and freezing temperatures, salt follows.
Anyway back on topic, as far as the dealerships go, you nailed it, I can’t stand the ‘let me check with my manager’, that’s a bunch of ridiculously stupid gameplaying that they try to put some mental leverage on the customer under the notion of ‘You’re getting a good deal!’ when you’re not if you truly understand the numbers.
I know dealerships have to make money to and they have a way of doing things, but the problem is, they use gimmicky ads that have loads of fine print with ‘additional charges.’ Then sites like Carvana, it’s still in the early stages of growing, and I’d be curious to see where they are two years from now, with even the pandemic killing dealership in some ways.
Definitely post more pictures, it will look good with the tinted windows from the contrast of the white paint, and you’ll appreciate the paint protection, that goes along way and makes it much more manageable to keep clean.
