    Gas mileage: Should I turn the car off?

    So yesterday my buddy and I decided to go to an after-work social at a lounge. We got to the lounge earlier and decided to chill in the car for a few minutes before we went in. When we were about to get out he noticed how much gas he had used just sitting idle. He has an 07 S550. I thought it...

    Fog lights

    nah.... go under the bumper and twist counter clockwise and pull the bulb out. Then disconnect it from the harness and plug in the new bulb. Put the new bulb in and twist clockwise to lock it in place.

    Avic F90Bt for sale.

    Very good install. Just out of curiosity, where did you put your bluetooth microphone? Not to hijack the thread, but does anyone know if we can load backgrounds onto the "splash screen" from our thumbdrive onto the x920BT? B. Does the "splash screen" have to be saved to a specific format or...

    Quite possibly the ugliest LS out there

    Bad car taste is subjective. I agree that this is an ugly car, but non-rich white kids ruin cars as well.

    Ball Joints: The saga continues

    The shop the I wanted to press it in and press it out initially said they couldn't do it. We agreed to allow it to be pressed in by a third shop and they would install the knuckle onto the car. I took the knuckle to Napa and they pressed them in. He complained about the unusual shape and...

    Lets talk about balljoints

    Thanks for the responses everyone especially for that pic Hite. Jolink where do you live? I live in South Carolina and every "Firestone" type shop tell me that they don't want install parts on my car unless they can mark it up some. I'm getting them installed right now. I will let you guys know...

    Lets talk about balljoints

    I bought these ball joints. Took them to Midas and they said "Ford only sell them with the knuckle assembly." I'm thinking "no sh*t." First the salesman told me the ball joint was "made into the knuckle", which I called him out for. The salesman told me he would have to take the black abs...

    Upper Ball Joints

    Has anyone replaced their upper ball joints themselves? I ordered them from ebay but am wondering if I should give it a shot or not. I know a machine shop that can press them in, but I don't know if I need anything special for this job. Thanks guys.

    Just the Magnaflow mufflers...

    I know there are a bunch of different size mufflers that will fit the LS, but I am interested in magnaflow mufflers. I like the sound. Are there more than one size of magnaflow mufflers?

    Just the Magnaflow mufflers...

    After you guys confirmed my suspicions I will NOT buy the entire cat back. I will just buy the mufflers...but you said get smaller mufflers for increased output? I've only found one size/type of magnaflow muffler that will fit the LS...Which ones are you referring to? You have to forgive me...

    Just the Magnaflow mufflers...

    Is there any particular reason everyone buys the entire cat back over just the magnaflow muffler and tips...Is there a noticeable difference in sound or performance? I was thinking about putting on mufflers, but don't want to waste my money.
