With the advent of Youtube and the like, so many repairs are possible if you have a good tool set and know how to use them. Parts are another matter entirely, but when I was younger our first call was the auto salvage yards. Fuck if they didnt have almost anything you need someplace in their piles of wrecked cars. You had to pull it yourself, they just gave you directions through the maze to the wreck that had the part still on it.

Every Ford I have ever owned has been absolutely reliable and has needed no work except regular maintenance. Taurus, Ranger (x2), F150, and Focus. All have been excellent cars.
I have a Hyundai right now that is from 2009 and has 180,000 miles on it. Same thing with that. Nothing but regular maintenance, 100% reliable.
Every Chevrolet vehicle I've had, Chevette, Cavalier, C1500, has been an absolute lemon. The Chevette was fun because I was a teen learning to fix cars myself, but I spent so much time fixing that stupid thing. The truck I got rid of after a year because it was too expensive to own.

Same reason Christmas decorations are already out. The longer/sooner they start having sales and marking stuff down, the more money they make.

That f150 tail light thing, if they didn't explain, is because its the first gen of their fancy looking LED lights... AND they built in the sensors into the light housing. This has been a known high expense area of those fords for a long time. When they first started those lights they also started the aluminum body. There was an initial youtube review guy that was comparing the cost of a repair on steel f150 vs aluminum - he I think hit them both with a bat or something, he was meant to simulate a standard type of damage you may get backing up into a poll or something.
When he got the bill, to compare it was way higher than he thought, and that is when they saw the difference in price of the tail light enclosure was like a few hundo to a few thousand.

Veteran's day is right up there with Valentine's day when it comes to overbooked restaurants. Stand clear of the ones that offer free food to vets too, they'll be completely slammed
