    Here is mine. These were taken the day I got her from the shop, repairs done beautifully. Before pic:

    the ugliest mod ever

    That's butt-ugly... awful... that car should be destroyed. It needs to be put out of its misery...

    MY Story

    That's a very cool thing you did, for your son. I think that it's a good idea to get one's kid a safe, solid car in their first years driving... lots of people buy their kids crap like Accents, Aveos, Fits, Yarises, Corollas and other tiny cars which fold quickly whenever they're involved in...

    What was everyone's first car?

    I drove a 2004 Mazda3 from 2008 to 2010, which I didn't own (was stepfather's). Then, when I had to give it back, I went to a dealership in Montreal, in 2011, and bought my 2006 LS.

    LS Louis Vitton model

    There are absolutely no limits to bad taste. Some people really are just clots who seem to be a competition with each other to see who's best at ruining their car.

    What did you do to your LS today?

    I called the junkyards looking for a replacement left fender.

    Which LS would you buy?

    Tell me about it! *grumbles* As for advice... my opinion is a bit mixed. I have a 2006 LS, it had about 48 000 miles when I got it two years ago, 70 000 now. I'm generally satisfied with the car, it drives quite well and the major mechanical elements have proven to be quite reliable. That...

    A bad encounter with a Toyota.

    Update on the situation with my dear vehicle: got a HID headlight off ebay, 595$, and it both looks okay and works well. 600$ is quite a bit, but it damn well beats the 2200$ price tag on the new ones... I tried installing it today, but found out that the old one's only been able to hold in...

    40 mpg in 04 V8. What are you getting out of yours?

    40 MPG sounds fanciful for a V8 LS. My best consistent performance with my '06 V8 on highway driving was about 28 MPG, driving at 70 mph alone, in summer, with no significant loads in the car. However, I figure that if I tried running at, say, 55 mph, I could get a significantly better...

    Seen This Car at Wal-Mart

    Indeed, some obvious gigantic failures there, caused mainly by the misguided delusions of a few Democrat politicians who in their quest for "clean transportation" threw away hundreds of millions in US taxpayer money in Fisker alone. THIS! Those cars are amazingly efficient and work well in...

    Official LS Picture Thread

    Very nice! I'm usually not a fan of white cars, but that LS has a lot of class, color fits it like a glove. The wheels are pretty cool too, to be honest.

    A bad encounter with a Toyota.

    I went through the documents listing responsibility regarding insurance, and there's no mention of alcohol intoxication. What they do say, however, is that circumstances such as speed, visibility, weather, the state of the road or the presence of pedestrians are not taken into consideration by...

    A bad encounter with a Toyota.

    Of all the stupid rules... I mean, I get that what I was doing in particular was a bit risky, but then again I was STOPPED and waiting for the road to be clear... and I honked... and she slammed right into me. There are circumstances where idiots may slam into people reversing or doing a...

    A bad encounter with a Toyota.

    Finally got the call from the insurance company... Should've seen this coming. Apparently in this lovely province called Quebec, if you're reversing or doing a U-turn and an accident occurs, regardless of circumstances or how the other person is driving, it's always your fault. So I get to...

    Lincoln VS Cadillac...This Time It's Personal

    The fate of the manual LS was horrid... around 2500 sold, out of a total of over 260 000 LS sold 2000-2006. Less than 1% were manual... sure Ford didn't help its cause by not providing the manual for the V8, ever, but the mass of customers have the biggest blame. The changes of modern...

    Lincoln VS Cadillac...This Time It's Personal

    I know that semi-automatics are all the rage right now, but they're... kind of lame, really. I mean, either give me an automatic or a manual, not something weird in between. I can change speeds manually on the LS's semi-automatic, it's just that without a clutch pedal it feels... pointless...

    Lincoln VS Cadillac...This Time It's Personal

    The lack of manual gearboxes is a disease which seems to be affecting everyone. Granted, I bought an automatic Lincoln LS because at the time it had by far the best looks/equipment/performance/price ratio in the cars I saw, but I'd enjoy having a manual car. Trouble is, I like rear-wheel...

    Lincoln VS Cadillac...This Time It's Personal

    Indeed, the G8 looks great, but this looks like a big Hyundai. Okay, I'm a bit harsh... it's still ok. Although the bastards won't sell it in Canada...

    Lincoln VS Cadillac...This Time It's Personal

    All of the three big American companies have some sort of major impairment in terms of model longevity and continuity. They will create a model, make a big deal about how awesome it is, and then abandon it a few years later. In the 2000s Ford did it with the Thunderbird, the Freestyle, the...

    Official Wrecked LS Thread

    Those are some ugly pictures. Damn! Amazingly, the grille in the first car looks mint... But the one with the tree and the one coiled up around a metal post... wow. Speechless.
