I'd have to check, but mines close to that as well. Both my 14's were like that

It helps if the dealer staff didn't use the car for j-turn practice

Worth noting that the E brake in this car does not work. At all. I think I just moved it around to get the underneath cleaned up. Im supposed to be fixing it along with a bunch of other things soon.



This car needs some love.

I didn't ask for anything, because I like to work on cars anyways, and is a family friend. But the owner gave me $100 and a gift card. Hell, If I did this on the weekends as a side gig and charge reasonably, those car parts could be looking closer and closer.



Whether by back likes me, that's a whole different thing.

TIL Ford's CEO wants to go 100% online, no negotiation, direct delivery for EVs. I'm good with that.

As I showed before the Canadian dealerships are all quickly changing over to an order system with minimal stock on the lots. Although kick started by the shortages they have said that is is now the planned future way of selling cars.
It will just be step one though. step two will undoubtable be the elimination of dealership sales lots completely. Any that survive will just be service centers which is where they make their real money anyway. I bet it doesn't take 10 years to happen.
