I ordered my Ford Escape PHEV on October 13, 2022 and I finally took delivery on September 1, 2023. h/t to my salesman Meet Bob. Actually, I thought I would come up with a better name since my last car was named Patty because I got her on St. Patrick's Day. But after spending about three minutes trying to think of something clever, I threw in the towel and settled on Bob. So this is a base model PHEV. It doesn't have things like a heads up display, 360 degree camera, premium audio system, etc. Mind you, I came from a base fiesta. Patty had roll-down windows and didn't even have cruise control. This is a very big upgrade for me. A little over two weeks in, I've hit 1,000 miles. I've tried to force some non-ev time. I'm not sure what kind of engine break in is needed for this. I figured I should do some of that and get its first oil change before I head down to Florida with it in November. So far, just one and one-quarter tanks of gas used. Averaging 86 mpg. Most

I reckon I'm in the majority of trekkies who calmly predict that it'll be a steaming pile of metaphorical cinematic dogpoo. Simply because (a) the last two trek movies were cack, (b) Enterprise was cack, and (c) Everything involving Brannon Braga is cack.
As for point A. Everything after Star Trek VI (best movie of them all BTW) was crap. First Contact came close but I still rank it below The Voyage Home and The Wrath of Khan.
Point B. I liked Enterprise! I hated the stupid Temporal Cold war which made no sense to me when they wrapped that arc up. I hated the Xindi arc. But that last season with the augments, Vulcan, and the Mirror Universe--fantastic.
Point C. Well, what do you expect from an atheist? :-P He had some excellent stuff--although he was responsible for some of my most hated episodes. "Frame of Mind" comes immediately to mine.
