Took my 2000 v8 in to have A/C fixed, while I do most of my own stuff, I avoid A/C work and leave that to the pros. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk

I changed the oil and replaced airbag pigtail under seat. The pigtail was to address the 3-6 code but it didn't work, bummer I was hoping to get rid of that light. Borrowed a friends lift to do oil change, I gotta get me one of those, so much better than crawling underneath. Sent from my...

I like my sn95 but it really is just a fox body "with fixes" I drive it all summer and the ls all winter, I love them both but for very different reasons.

Funny, I pulled my 2000 ls out for winter, it is my winter car. I drive a 95 mustang gt in the summer. Both were from California, the mustang will remain rust free, the Lincoln will not :-)

You got me beat in the age department, I remember pretty vividly putting gas in my old Mustang at .999 when I was 16 (and it seems it stayed right around there for a long time) I do seem to remember the gas stations having to buy all new signs since most didn't have a 1's space.

Haha me too on the eye rolls and the suggestion of professional help but I have a spreadsheet I've been using for years that breaks down all costs except insurance, once I'm down to under 50 cents a mile I know I'm comfortable selling for pretty much any price :-)

I thought I was the only one that did this, my numbers for my 2000 v8 are: 9670 miles 511.8379 gallons $1452.65 spent with an average mileage of 18.89 (3000 of these miles were the trip from California to ny to bring it home so my mileage is higher than it will be). 15 cents a mile for gas, 19...

Yep, it was going to be the new mustang in 2005 but just too much aluminum made it too expensive [emoji1]

Yeah,I know, I bought a 2005 s-type this summer but not driving it until next year, after that I might be after a bmw 5 series, they seem to understand drivers still.

Yeah, I can't compare a car with the engine turned the wrong way to a car with a correctly mounted engine with rear wheel drive. I just did the front suspension on my 2000, hopefully there will be a proper Ford/Lincoln rwd replacement by the time the ls needs something major.

That is a great deal, I thought my $1800 last year was good, needed coils and transmission solenoid. Good job for sure

Black car, tinted windows but mine are Taurus steelies painted black, no caps but chrome lugs. I don't recommend the Taurus steelies though, they need spacers to clear front and rear calipers :-( If I ever sell it, I might keep the chrome stockers as winter wheels for my S-Type and sell it...

Put the snow tires on today so it once again looks like a retired police cruiser. Also had a pair of rear link arms so I replaced them since I had the wheels off. No play yet but boots were completely gone with no grease left so it was only a matter of time. Bought the Moog greasables and...

Front end work Trying to get LS ready for the upcoming winter driving season so tackled some front end work this weekend. Last year on really cold days the steering squeaked like crazy. Looks like it was mostly a grease free, boot torn lower balljoint so as long as I was going to have it apart...

I store mine for the summer but process is pretty much the same, I take my snow tires off, put in stabil (in a topped off tank). I don't use a battery maintainer because I just fire it up every two weekends or so.
