It's Spring again, my classes are over, and I have a lot of free time. So I decided to write a small ode to my car. In a world where we're paying 4 dollars per gallon for gas, it's truly hard to appreciate how fun driving is. When I was in High School, I can remember driving was the pinnacle...

I know this has probably been covered, but I just got a CHECK LEFT BRAKE LIGHT warning. I see the bulb in the bulbs list in the manual but there are two brake lamps listed. Also, it says to go to the dealer to get it replaced, but I think you'd have to be really desperate to pay that much for a...

No real question here. I had to replace my hydraulic fan (this was the problem I had previously posted about and thought was a thermostat error). It cost me just over $1000, but luckily the extended warranty covered a little over half. Apparently they only pay for their approved labor rates...

SO I've been doing some teesting and I've found out that lately I've been getting around 8-10 MPG during my daily driving. I realize that economy is going to be low because everywhere I go on a regular basis is in city stop and go traffic. However, I never leave a 2 mile radius from my house...

I was just curious as to where the "Alpine) Audiophile system on the 00-02 LS's sits in relation to the Mach 460 and Mach 1000 stereos offered on the Mustang and Expedition (probably more models but not sure) My Expedition has the premier MACH stereo system with a single 8 sub and it sounds...

So last night as I was coming home, the check charging system light came on ('02 V8 LSE). I drove it home fine although the light stayed on for my whole trip (10 miles or so). Tonight, I started the car just fine and left it running for maybe 5 minutes or so to warm up while I put the dog in...

It finally happened. Someone in my apartment complex backed into my front bumper. I'll have the pictures and story up here soon. Anyone know a good body shop in Knoxville?

So I found this website that records how long drivers have gone on E in their particular model of cars. I think everyone here should submit their data and share an empty tank story here on the forum http://tankonempty.com/

I just bought a new GPS. I got a MIO C220 from Circuit City for $100 (Black Friday Special) and it's amazing. I'll post some pics of it in place soon. Does anyone else have a GPS? What good mounting spots have you found for it in the LS?

I'm looking for either a put-together model kit of a Lincoln LS or a Die-Cast car. I'm going to make a sort of shadowbox with a high res picture of my LS and either a die cast model or a glue-together model of an LS. I know Hot Wheels and Matchbox did not make a Lincoln LS (SHAME!) but I was...

So I've been toying around with an idea for a coffee table made out of Lincoln LS parts. I've seen similar ideas with Ferrari and Porsche parts, but I thought it would be really cool to do with parts from an LS. My first step is going to finding a junked or seized V8 engine and taking out...

So it used to happen only after cold starts but now it happens all the time. Whenever the brake pedal is lightly to moderately pressed, a sound like an old wooden floor creaking is heard. The car still brakes like a champ it's just that damn noise. Can I WD-40 it (I'm from the south, we WD-40...

So the time has finally come for my 60k tune up as my odo just hit 59. Does anyone have a comprehensive list of exactly what should be done to keep it in tip top shape and covered under warranty? I'm a starving college kid but I know it's important.

I'm not sure if this would be an appropriate place to ask this but here goes. I need a new dash piece for my '02 LSE w/ black interior. Its the plastic piece that surrounds the air conditioning vent. I do not need the the vents, mine are in perfect working condition. I just need the...

So the time has come for the old Michelins to be retired, so I'm in the market for new tires. I'm looking for 235/50/r17 (that's what's already on the car) and a lot of tire shops say that it's an odd size and its more expensive because it's V-rated. Where do you guys get your tires? Any...

The past week or so, I've been getting random temperature warnings. I'll be driving within normal operating conditions and the temperature gauge will rise from halfway to the top in around 2 seconds. It will stay on for around 2 minutes and reduce engine power. Afterwards the warning will go...

So the time has come to replace the cabin A/C filter on my 02 V8. My dad insists the only way to do it is to go to the dealership. But i don't want to spend $60 to get it done at a dealership. My hypothesis is that you can order the filter unit from autozone and replace it with a couple...

Well some unworthy backseat passenger stuffed a couple full bottles of water into the pocket on the back of my drivers seat and stretched it all to hell. Do y'all know of anything I can do to get it back to it's normal tightness? It's not a huge problem but it bothers the hell out of me and...

I'm not sure what the actual name is but I'm having trouble with the feature that shows the FM radio station information (song title/artist/station name/format) on the '02 6-disc Alpine unit. The information on some stations only cycles through or updates after I switch to another station and...

I was just wondering what kind of lowering kits there are ('02 LSE V8). How expensive are these? Do they void the factory or aftermarket warranties? Can you install them yourself?
