I actually don't own a car, I ride an electric bike around the city. I can hit decent speed and fang it if I really need to, accounting for traffic you'd encounter in a car I can get to most destinations within a similar amount of time (within the CBD area of course). It's extremely handy.
Plus I save atonof money. I'm easily putting away 1k every pay. Only downside is nearly stacking it a few times and almost getting run over by a tram, but a solid and green investment IMO.
I'll admit I'm a bit jaded about cars though. I had a Commodore a decade ago, hit an oil slick on a roundabout and skidded off the road almost into a tree. Would've bought the farm for sure.
I also got that car from a friend who bought it for $1500, thrashed the chit out of it making it nearly underivable then sold it to me for $2500. When I found out about that I stopped paying him the instalments I promised, told him he was a POS and never spoke to him again.

In all seriousness, this is something I've noticed, esp. with my 'married with kids' friends. Don't know if it's a soccer mom thing, but they all drive brand new 4WDs/SUVs. Meanwhile their husbands have used mobiles that have seen asphalt for a while...

Gachase, I'd definitely get a second opinion.
One of the more prevalent failure modes for the EcoBoost is excessive carbon/gunk build up on the back of the valves which can cause all kinds of weird failure modes. Ford dumps all the nasty crankcases gases right on the back of the valves in order to burn them off. Ford has not developed a way to clean them and they just recommend replacing the heads.
Just a thought.

Seems like I might be 200k miles too late

Any way at all to clean the top of the valves?
So I’m seeing this that says don’t do it (5 years old)

Not sure how often you need to clean the catch can. Prolly says on the kit.
EcoBoost has has some cam phaser (integral to the VVT) issues also (so does the 5.0) which can affect idle and performance.
My next truck will be a Toyota.

I've only got 90K on mine and I've had to replace:
Computer
Multifunction Switch on the left side of the steering column
Oil Pressure sending unit
And I've got a spun bearing on one of the many pullies on the front of the motor...
If I live long enough, there will be Toyota in the driveway

There are a few that I will listen to overwhelmingly that are just ****ing insane because they have some crazy beat going with them that do - but that is rare.
Typically I don't like people's voices... they are annoying.
I prefer instrumental music especially metal.
So, if a song is brass/big band instruments -- I won't like it -- but you convert that same piece to guitar especially electric guitar -- I enjoy it.
Weird how that works.
I find strange songs that I will listen to for 12-14 hours while I am working on repeat and be hella productive the entire time while coding/working on contracts/accounting pulling ERP system data.

Get her a private jet charter trip.
Nice romantic spoil.
There are destinations where you land at the private resort.
A trip with no annoying security check in, crowd, wait, parking, etc
