    Manual 5 speed owners?

    Yes, at least one is still on the road. I got mine out for the season yesterday! I see postings for one every now and again on AutoTrader.

    Looking for Winter Tires-Option

    I should also mention that you do not need to add ballast in the trunk with these. The car's natural near 50/50 distribution is about as ideal of a scenario as you are going to get when you consider the biggest concern when driving on snow and ice is stopping. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Looking for Winter Tires-Option

    For my wife's 2001 LS V8 I did a full minus size and went down to the 16 inch wheel / tire size from the non Sport models. It's a 215/60R16 tire on a 16x7 inch wheel. They are a decent set of alloys very reasonably priced from Tire Rack and the tires are Bridgestone Blizzak WS80's. This is my...

    Anyone know the part number for this and whether bushing sold separately?

    This just happened to me too. Glad I found his post. Same thing. Found these darn near shredded while doing a brake job.

    Widest Tire for Stock 17 rim???

    Try Bridgestone Blizzak in the winter. I don't run anything else once it gets below 45F.

    new lincoln continental

    That is an awfully bold statement for a platform we haven't even seen a production variant of. For starters...the MKS and the MKT are both based on the OLD Volvo XC90 platform based Ford Five Hundred and Freestyle. Those cars platforms (Five Hundred and Freestyle) were designed and cheapened...

    Is that a bad thing? The Kia K900 is the modern Town Car afterall. Drive one last fall. Brilliant car.

    Continental to return for 2016

    You've apparently not driven a modern RWD car. I live in Michigan. You change your driving habits a little, yes. You equip the car with Blizzaks. You mash the throttle little less. Drive with the slightest amount of finesse and you'll be just fine. (The modern electronic stability systems help a...

    new lincoln continental

    I wouldn't count out the RWD possibility just yet. Remember the new Mustang platform was designed to be flexible to accommodate various length cars. The proportions suggest RWD. Also, Ford already has the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 in a RWD application in the F-150. It isn't a stretch to imagine this new...

    Continental to return for 2016

    So long as it is rear wheel drive. If it turns out to be front...it will be dead to me...just like the rest of the current MK-nonsense lineup.

    This is the first Lincoln since my LS that I have truly stated: "I want that!"

    Can't remove 2002 LS battery!

    Twist it off. Tap the hole. Get a new one. I just did it. $24 for a new bracket from the dealer. You could also just bend the brackeg out of the way. Thst works a few times, but you will eventually use up the ductility of the bracket and it will break.
