So, I went to the local Lincoln dealership to buy fasteners for the cover that sits across the headlights and the radiator. I was curious so I thought I'd go to the showroom and look at some of the cars. There was an MKS in a nice looking golden color but with a strange looking texture like hail damage or something.

Now, there was this MKZ in a sort of burgundy color with almost white color. I will have to admit that is one sweet looking ride. It had that weird pass-through area in the center console. It also had that way cool moon roof that covers most of the greenhouse. But, it was Wrong Wheel Drive. I might be able to cope with that as an AWD but for one big issue.

I just had to sit in the thing. So, I did and started tinkering with adjustments for the seat. I couldn't figure out how to work the tilt/telescopic wheel adjustment because I couldn't find the controls. There were plenty of examples outside on the lot and I thought I might take one for a spin. Sad to say I didn't even bother asking because, while I was adjusting the seat position, I discovered I can't drive it. I am one of a few on LVC that prefers
to do without a moon roof. I looked far and wide for my LS without one that still had certain other options.

I am a big "water headed" boy and I have a very high seating position to allow a good view of the hood. Well, with that moon roof taking up the headroom, there is not enough room for my high dome head so I can see that hood. Maybe if I was a Neanderthal with a sloping forehead, I would be able to feel comfortable for spirited driving. Nice work FORD!

Weren't there some members going on about hood ornaments a while ago?

I almost forgot.....solid brake rotors in the back?
