    Bumper Cover is messed up. Where to get a new one?

    This last winter was TERRIBLE on my LS. I have so many cracks in my front bumper from the massive potholes in Michigan that it isn't worth trying to fix it at all. I am planning on buying a new one and installing it now that I have a winter vehicle, but was wondering if any of you had a...

    Crankshaft pulley going bad?

    My car broke down recently due to the belt slipping off because of oil. The mechanic found that the camshaft seal was going bad, but also that the crankshaft pulley was going bad too. He said he can't find one from any third party vendors, only from the Lincoln dealership which is selling it for...

    Heated/cooled seat blower isn't working

    Hey all. So my heated/cooled driver seat stopped working recently. After playing around with it today, I have discovered that it has been running without an air filter for the entire time I've owned the car :/ I can hear the blower come on in the passenger seat (which does have a filter), but...

    Degas bottle I think

    LS overheated. I was able to let it cool down then drive it to a safe place. Girlfriend caught up with me at that point and gave me some 50/50. I refilled the reservoir and by the time I got home it was almost completely empty again (most it drained out at one stop according to my girlfriend who...

    Point me to the head unit installation post?

    I vaguely remember seeing a post where someone installs a new HU and takes a ton of pictures along the way. But I have had NO luck finding the post. If someone has it saved or can find it for me, that would be fantastic. I have had no luck using the google site search. Thanks. And no, I'm not...

    Car cover or car tent?

    So I recently acquired an old Buick that I plan on driving during bad weather and during winter. I am trying to decide if I should get a car cover or get this tent looking thing I saw at Costco. Its essentially a tent garage, which is kinda cool, but I worry about how strong it is for holding...

    One of my favorite drives. What are yours?

    Heres a video of part of my favorite drive in the Ann Arbor/south east michigan area, Huron River Drive. I drive this like 3 times a week because I enjoy it so much (and I live by it). As a bonus, lots of Bassani sounds haha http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8-wbyYDZSw

    Between Wax Routine

    Just curious to see what your guys' inbetween wax routine was for cleaning your car. Personally, I hit the car with Zymol auto wash (love this stuff, it cleans SUPER well imo) and then usually a quick wax of some sort. I havent found a quick wax I'm in love with yet but I've tried Turtle Wax ICE...

    Tire suggestion

    Buying new summer tires pretty shortly here. Should I just go with the stock tire size 235/50ZR17 or something different? I'm lowered on Eibachs. Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions. I'm probably going with Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1s. Seem to be a good cheap highly rated tire

    Advance Trak Question

    Every now and then, and I mean maybe twice a month, maybe, my advance trak light comes on and it says to "Check advance trak." Turning the car off and back on makes this go away, and advance trak still works as it should. Anyone else get this? Also, under heavy ABS conditions I get a message...

    Black box video recorder with old Android phone

    I have an old android phone (evo 4g) that I have decided to turn into a black box video recorder. After searching around for awhile I found a great app for it. If any of you have an old android phone sitting around I highly suggest you check it out. Heres the app...

    K&N Question

    Being the Newb I am, the last time I cleaned my K&N I didn't oil it. I know, its not good. But I just cleaned it again and did it right this time now that I know. Lately, my MPG has been suffering pretty badly, like 15 in the city and 18 on the highway badly (when I first got the car I was like...

    (Off Topic) Turbochargers

    The auto industry is all the rave about turbocharging V6s, but I feel like I havent heard much about turbo's V8s. Is that strictly because of a MPG thing? Doesn't turbocharging add to MPG in normal driving situations? Why doesn't Ford release a turbo'd 'stang? I dont know, I feel like there is a...

    Awesome headunit/app combo for us Android users

    I've been doing lots of research trying to decide on a new headunit to buy. I had been leaning towards the Pioneer AVIC x940BT for a long time but found this and thought it was cool enough to share with you all. This combines the Pioneer App Radio 2 with any of the compatible Android phones...

    Battery Drain

    So, heres my issue. My battery seems to drain in about 12-15 hours to the point where it cant start the car. This started happening maybe 2 weeks ago. The battery can be charged just fine, there just seems to be some sort of drain. Now I installed LEDs in the interior and the license plate a few...

    Winter frustration...

    I really thought this wouldn't be a problem now that I had a Lincoln but I see I was being overly optimistic. My door mechanisms are freezing. I had to climb in from the back seat today. I got out the passenger side door and it almost wouldn't shut. I need to get into my doors to wire my door...

    FOR SALE: Brown Floor Mats

    For obvious reasons I am posting this here rather than in the for sale area. Someone had talked to me about these and I seemed to have accidently deleted the message so I dont remember who it is I'm asking $40 shipped. I accidently bought these. The picture was of black mats and to my lovely...

    Tire pressure question

    So my max rated is 51 according to the tires. I would imagine this is cold tire pressure? I have them all around 40 at the moment but I was filling them up at a gas station and had been driving. Gotta find a better way to do that besides driving to a gas station.

    Serpentine Belt?

    I asked the shop that changed my thermostat after it exploded everywhere to change my serpentine belt. They 'forgot' I guess... but I didn't get charged so oh well. But yesterday I noticed sometimes when not moving if I turn the wheel the pump struggles to help me out. This only happens at idle...

    AdvanceTrak weirdness

    I've done a few burn outs in the LS. But lately if I try the back tires won't break away and the AT warning comes up on the message center. The car feels as though I didn't turn AT off but I definitely did. The check AT message stays until I restart the car. Yet, if I turn AT off I can easily do...
