The Juices’ birthday is July 9th, which was the original launch date. Ford has since rescheduled it to the 13th.

I spy seat heater and cooler buttons on the dash.
That grill looks like a Kia. Rest of the car, especially the interior, looks pretty :nice:

Drove around for a couple hours in the H today in 94* heat. 2 observations:
The auto AC is really good. The thing blows ice cubes almost immediately.

Finally got to try the :knot: coolers. Holy shit these things are strong. It immediately felt like I was sitting on a cold slab of marble. Even the lowest setting was cold. Very well done.

I'm pretty amazed that they're building the 2 door. JL 2 door volume is tiny compared to the 4-door. I'd be really curious to drive the Bronco 2-door to see if they fixed physics somehow.

I bet the fake roader will be the top volume now that the Escape looks so :disgust:

They're betting a lot on this thing, but I think it could really pay off.

Man, I'm really excited to see this thing.

V8's are so hard to do now in volume because of .gov regulations. They're all but dead, sadly.

Unless it is a truck/SUV. Then they get to activate the unlimited V8 cheat code.
