Huh, never had to replace any switches on my CSVT

I assumed there was some back and forth, but I can’t find anything concrete in my brief Googling. I know Ford pillaged quite a bit from the Volvo bin, but that wasn’t until the late 90's. From their respective Wikipedia pages, the Lima Pinto and the Volvo Redblock seem to be developed separately; however, it’s very…

I think that Ford’s choice to not put a DOHC head on the SVO, had to be deliberate on their part. I don’t think they truly wanted it to be faster than the V8, as year to year it was a few ticks slower in a straight line. The Sierra RS was a couple years later than the SVO, which may have been an impact.  Then there’s…

SVO Fox > 5.0 Fox

It’s almost too big for me, the wifey, and the doggy. We live in Chicago, but will travel up to northwest Michigan a few times a year. 6ish hour drive. Dog gets the second row, and 3rd row is perpetually folded down, and load all our crap into the back, and throw a couple kayaks on top. Last winter, we loaded up the…

Mine is stock as a block, I ran a PB 14.1 @ 99 on snow tires last spring (110K miles on the clock). It wouldn’t 60 ft to save its life (I think it was 2.2 no matter how I launched it). But I beat a number of LX Hemi cars, a guy sleeping in a BMW 335ix, and a few other random cars that were out.  Quicker than you’d…

I own one, it’s rad. It’s sort of love it or hate it. One thing that absolutely rules, is that it is ALMOST nearly a perfect trip vehicle. Less than stellar MPG’s and a smallish (18 gallons) gas tank, makes it limited to mid-300's realistic mileage range. But it is delightfully comfortable and an easy drive.

Isn’t the band basically a friend zone?

My future is clearly the saddest

I don’t know why, but my fiance’s parents take nothing but the Amtrak. My fiance grew up only taking the Amtrak everywhere. Her family trips were rarely by car, but mostly by train, and never by plane. She looks back on it with some reverence. I don’t understand it. I took the Amtrak once, and I hope never again. I…

Why can’t I just have my RWD Ford sedan from this “flexible architecture” or the new CD-6 platform. *Tear

He did say that he doesn’t fit in the Mazda CX-9, which is pretty darn close in size to the Edge.

Marquette is a cool little town, and the area around is very beautiful. Lots of kids, that love the outdoors, have a great time up there because there are tons of mountain bike trails, hiking trails, kayaking locations, beautiful vistas, and decent skiing (for the midwest at least).

OK, it’s been bugging the hell out of me, what the hell is that wall on the passenger side of the center console?!

Is there something else that I’m missing that would be a more ideal solution? Economy has at least some part in this picture, as well as fun.

I need a new DD for commutes, but want 4-doors and don’t want to pay out my butt for parts and labor (read: no German’s). Which ~2 year old car on the below list, that I’ve narrowed down, is least bad...

Is it just me, or do the cameras and base station look VERY similar to the Arlo system...
