    2016 Lincoln MKX concept

    That's the best rendition of the split wing grill so far. The MKZ was a step forward, the MKC was really good, but the front grill on the new MKX is just great. Love how they integrated the Headlights into the grill and also one of the ribs continues right into the turn signal. BTW, the MKZ &...

    goog article on dew platform

    I'm not sure why people are saying the SS is like the GTO. It's a Pontiac G8 in Chevy skin. It's the exact car GM imported for the G8 6 years ago (obviously with some advancements) on the Zeta platform. I agree it's going to be about 3 years for Lincoln to hopefully finally right it's ship...

    goog article on dew platform

    I've never seen the MKR from this angle. The new MKZ backend looks awfully similar to this, and wouldn't be surprised if this is where they got the inspiration from.

    Stereo upgrade: pics of spare tire well mounted amps?

    When I had my LS, I built a crude box (with no top) that I placed above the spare tire. Avoids what hite is talking about with getting water in the well. I then mounted two pc fans on each end of the box. One pulling air into the box, one pushing air out. I had the direction of the airflow...

    Interesting move by Lincoln

    The grill in the picture he posted is much closer to the grill Lincoln is using now than the one on the MKR concept. They have moved to horizontal grates, and slimmed them down quite a bit. The MKZ was only slightly altered after Max Wolff came on board at Lincoln with a dedicated team. The...

    What could we do wit this??

    Yeah, if they could develop it further to make it dry clear, it would be a great windshield treatment, depending on how long it lasts.

    New fords with 5x108 bolt patterns

    That was probably me, since I was trying to sell mine off my new fusion. They have the same bolt pattern, hub size, and have a high offset like the LS. The only major difference is the lug type. The LS uses a flat washer style, while the newer fords use a acorn shape bottom.

    dipped the LS

    So I saw you drive past me on the 4th of July on 195...around 5:30. The job looked phenomenal from what I could see. Too bad I got stuck behind a slower car, and then you got onto 95 south, and I went north.

    dipped the LS

    I'm usually in the Johnston/Providence/Cranston area. I work on Weybosset St downtown, by PPAC.

    dipped the LS

    I'll have to keep my eye open for you. It will be easy to spot you if I do though :). And yeah, RI tint laws suck bad.

    Dreaded Oil Thread...

    Most new cars say right in the manual to change every 10,000 or 12 months, whatever comes first. If the car manufacturer is giving that recommendation, then you would believe it's safe to do so with today's advanced oil. The manufacturers have a huge incentive to give the correct information...

    Mlara1129's C-List Finds

    Yeah, I think they would look good on an LS too (I'm not just saying that because I'm trying to sell them lol). I'd be willing to come down if anyone is interested. That price was for me to have some wiggle room since Craigslister's are good for low balling.

    Mlara1129's C-List Finds

    I know I've mentioned I had these in a few different areas, but not in this thread. 18" Rims off 2013 Fusion, virtually same specs as the LS. http://providence.craigslist.org/pts/3681476848.html

    LS Owners are the BEST!!!!!

    Hell, I don't even have my LS anymore and still visit here. I have to say, even though I never really participated much in the community, I always felt the group of people here were some of the best around and willing to help out.

    Lincoln LS getting terrible mileage

    The brand is Motor King, probably junk. Do the math, Motorcraft's are about $50 each from Tasca. If you are paying $60 for 8, they will be junk. Then again, that listing, other than the picture does not say if you are getting 1 or 8. It's a steep price, but the quality will be worth it.
