    Scrap it or fix it?

    Long story short, I rear ended someone on the highway. The frame is still straight, alignment is off, front left tire burst. I scraped the wall on the right side before hitting the guy. The car still runs great, no leaks. Should I fix it, sell it, or scrap it?

    1 Year later still going strong

    I think there's a lot of misinformation out there about the LS being unreliable. I wanted to make this thread to showcase my experience. A few key things: -I bought the car a little over a year ago from the original owner who never drove it in the winter with 87xxx miles -I replace things before...

    Is this something I should be concerned about?

    Hello fellow LS owners, I'm hoping some of you can chime in and tell me if the noise coming from my engine is something to be concerned about. This video was filmed immediately after a cold start, and I am worried about the tapping/light knocking sound. This does go away after the car has...

    Pen ink stain on rear leather seat

    Hello fellow Lincoln LS lovers. I'm hoping to get the attention of the pros. Today a co-worker sat in my back seat and had forgotten to take a pen out of his back pocket. It left a huge stain which most of it he was able to get out. This is the aftermath of a sponge, rubbing alcohol, and...

    Happy Thanksgiving Lincoln vs. Cadillac! 2006 LS - Does anyone know how to get these clips to stay in place in the door frame? They seemed to pop off and on easily with an LS at the junkyard, but with my car no matter which way I bend them I can't seem to get them to pop into place! Any...

    So I just finished removing the glove box on my 06' and I believe I have found the culprit to the noise I mentioned in an earlier thread.

    Seat rail question

    Hey guys so I wrapped up my factory Sirius installation this morning (thanks Mike!!!) and my friend noticed this. Is/was there something that covers this? Seems odd they'd leave it exposed like that.

Extremely useful on the highway when someone has their high beams on. A lot of times I don't even realize that they have high...
