    The plastic grill on these final editions don’t last long. Even the replacement grill I sourced from a local collector started to wrinkle after just a couple years, so something had to be done anyway.

    Years ago I had to replace the exterior temp sensor on my 91 Grand Wagoneer, so the plastic front bits had to come off. I stood back and this is what I saw.

    “It isn’t right for you to denigrate those replacement workers by calling them names.”

    My Mark VI has them and they are very polarizing. Here’s a quick video I just uploaded so you can see them in action. It’s absolutely over the top and I love it.

    Definitely look me up next time you’re in Denver.

    Here’s my question: Where do I start?
    My home is worth $500k and I owe less than $90k. I’d like to knock out all the items on my home inspection (from 10 years ago) and enlarge the kitchen into the backyard along with a few other improvements but don’t know where to start. At a bank? With an architect? Start talks

    I created this beast of a recipe that gave me my first trophy, winning first place in a 2018 chili competition here in Denver.

    Double the size of that grill, or even triple it to give the front of the SUV more presence. I don’t like the Cherokee-style headlights either, maybe I’ll tackle that in my next photoshop attempt.

    Plenty of room for a third row in my Grand Waggy...

    We usually enter a car or two in our local pride parade. Always a good time but my eyes are pegged on the thermometer at all times, especially with this beast.

    Welcome - all we ask is that you please fix the comment section so we don’t have to refresh to see them.

    You’re doing great things Claire! Hang in there and we’ll hang right beside you.

    Or you could search for a little bit newer sport trac equipped with a manual. These exist. Here’s the one I drive to Home Depot and zip up into the mountains with every now and then.

    Colorado is a fine place to live and work. Just ask our spokespug, Lili.

    Let us not forget that Christine made an appearance. At which point I yelled at the screen,CHRISTINE!”

    I know some crazy shit is going down over there at G/O but I’m happy to see you’re still hanging in there Claire. Know that we’ll follow you wherever you go though.
