Introducing The Ford Ficus: COTD

Ford has discontinued the Focus after a legendary run that lasted decades. It joins another beloved small Ford, the Fiesta, in the dustbin of history. But it doesn’t have to be!

Brian wrote about how sad the death of the Focus is. Don’t fret, because Brett Stutz can make you smile:

Ford’s bringing out a new car combining the Fiesta and the Focus that comes in a large flower pot.
It’s called the Ford Ficus.

Jason reviewed the most popular chicken nugget holder systems. Stef Schrader takes a serious approach:

This is how you get ants. Even with a holder. Especially with that last holder. ANTS!

Your car is not a dining room!!!

But nobody else did. Live2ski:

No strap-on feed bags? missed opportunity.

5VZ-F’Ever and Ever, Amen:

Since 2020, I have only been able to access dipping sauce in my car through the touchscreen menu.

Rippstik:

I appreciate the Autopian and all of these useful nuggets of info!

I wrote about why the Ford EcoSport was a failure in America. TheHairyNug sums it up pretty well:

It was two inches longer than a Honda Fit and got basically similar MPGs to a Pilot. That’s the story.

I also wrote about how difficult it is to get to a Scion iQ’s spark plugs. My 14mm socket was lost in the process. TK-421:

I picture a group of 10mm sockets with a heavenly cloud behind them, welcoming your 14mm socket to the Pearly Gates.

Finally, Jason wrote about a cool little Suzuki Carry that came by his house. Jay Vette:

Now I want to buy one and give it a blood-drenched paint job and badge it the Suzuki Carrie

Have a great evening, everyone!
