$2500 (was $3200) This was my daily driver for years. 180,300 miles - most of those from my daily 70 mile commute. I am the 2nd owner. Purchased in 2009 from a dealership. It was a CPO vehicle. Still looks and runs great. Well maintained - no known mechanical issues. Regular oil changes every...

Winner! Just happened to notice that right rear was mounted backwards when searching for rims. Those Blue Streak tires are ruined!

I just purchased H11 male connectors off ebay. The bare pins on the DDM harness slid right into them. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/H11-H9-H8-880-Male-Connectors-tab-BMW-HALO-HID-FOG-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5d2cd0a372QQitemZ400183829362QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

I'm looking at a set of used 18" Sport Edition A7 wheels with Michelin Pilot Alpin snow tires. They supposedly came off a Jaguar and have only been used a month. They are asking $950. I went on tirerack and priced out that combo and it came to around $1400. The wheels aren't the nicest in...

Third time is a charm! Just got the car back last night. It looks great! Of course it snowed today so now it's all dirty again...

I thought that too but the shop says it's definitely the hood. They can place it on a flat surface and see that it is tweaked. It's being replaced because I rear-ended a flat bed on a snowy day earlier this month. His tube-steel bumper hit mostly my grill which buckled the hood. Agreed!

And the saga continues... Hood #2 was also twisted. Not as bad as the first one. At least they realized it before painting. Waiting for hood #3... I want my LS back!!

Brand new hood from Ford. Anyone see anything wrong here?? Body shop didn't notice it until it was painted and they went to assemble. Apparently they hang the hood to paint both sides so it was never laid flat before that. Obviously they are getting another from Ford under warranty but...

Good info - thanks. Anyone here use the Scantools.net software (ScanXL) with the ford enhanced stuff? A full setup would be $220 with their ELM hardware.

I have been pondering getting the Xcal3 for quite some time but haven't had the funds (and permission from the boss) to do so. So I'm looking for other advantages to having it. I know the Xcal can read DTC's on other vehicles. My question is can it read all the "Ford Enhanced" data as well...

Not a bad price. 352 is the smallest of the FE engines but good for cruising. Some bolt-on performance parts available (although they are a bit pricey). Be sure to check for frame for rust. Biggest problem area is just in front of the rear wheels. Also pull up the carpet if possible and...

Got it - thanks. Anyone have pics of the two side-by-side for a comparison?
