    Sport Trac hauling a somber piece of history

    Hi all, I thought there might be some interest here for this story. Notice the "pick-up truck" referenced in the story for carrying a 700 pound piece of the World Trade Center from New York to Winter Garden, FL is, in fact, a lovely Sport Trac (see the picture). Enjoy.

    Boat logo opinions...

    Alright guys, we need a little help here. As some of you may recall, we bought a new boat last year, and the time has come to give her a name. We've settled on "Nauti Blue", a play on Nautical Blue. That being said, we'd like some suggestions on the logo. I've played around and keeping coming...

    Stopping by to say 'hi'

    Hi all! Just thought I'd stop by and say hi! Been a while since I've been on the board, and not much has changed. The Tundra is holding up really well. We've had it for just under a year and a half, put 36K miles on it, and have had zero problems. Still... I miss my Sport Trac terribly...

    Went fishing in the new boat

    Well, we finished setting up the new boat and breaking in the motor, and today was our first offshore fishing trip. Seas were only 1-2 ft, and the boat was fantastic. We got it up to 40 knots (freaking awesome) traveling to and from the port. Once we reached our destination (one we used to...

    Bought a new boat

    Well, as mentioned a long while ago, the reason for trading my ST was to get a larger boat-hauling truck. That controversy aside, we bought the new boat this past weekend. Our new purchase is a Tidewater 216cc. We were able to work a great deal on the boat and had an exceptional buying...

    Need suggestions for a "snowy" winter vacation

    Ok, so I'm looking for a little help from the very diverse population of members we have here. My mom is 52 years old and has never seen snow. My parents are not well off and I can't say she's ever been on a vacation. I would love to give her the experience of seeing snow next year, but...

    Traded the ST

    Well, I have dreaded this post since about 3pm yesterday, but here it goes. I have traded my ST in for a Toyota. As some of you may remember, a few months ago, we wanted to buy a big offshore boat and debated whether the ST was "up to snuff" to pull it. We decided it wasn't fair to expect...

    x-plan PIN

    My mom is looking to replace her blazer and wants to get a ford. :banana: Does anyone, by any chance, have an x-plan pin available that they are willing to part with? I know some fellow members have been generous and helped my friends/family in the past, and as always I am greatly...

    OT - '64 Mercury Comet close hitting the 600k mile mark

    Check out this lady and her '64 Mercury Comet Caliente. It's got 558,000 miles and is still being driven daily by its only owner, a 90 year old woman. She sounds like a neat lady.

    Focus officially totaled

    Well, the field adjuster from my insurance just called. He has inspected the Focus and determined a base value of $9,218, which is more than I actually owe (I didn't tell him that...). Plus, he said that if I can show receipts for proper engine maintenance and the tires, I can add on as much as...

    I'm surprisingly alive - the focus is totaled ***updated with photos***

    On my way home from work yesterday, I was in the left lane and a ranger was in the right. I heard what sounded like an explosion from the ranger and by the time I figured out what it was (a tire blowing), the ranger slammed into my rear passenger side sending me sliding sideways down the highway...

    American flag removed from woman's office

    I apologize if this has already been posted, but this is absolutely appalling to me. Apparently, a woman's American Flag was removed from her office and SET ON THE FLOOR because another person in the office who immigrated from Africa years ago, found it offensive! I cannot even begin to...

    Embarrassing question...

    Ok, first of all, I apologize if this topic has been beaten to death, but... I have a 2003 4x2 ST with a 4.10 axle and limited slip. With this set-up is it reasonable to think that I can tow the max 5,300lb capacity easily? Has anyone towed this much for extended amounts of time safely...

    OT - Taking the Focus in, need advice

    I have a 2007 Focus with 36,345 miles. It had developed a slight vibration at low speeds that increased significantly from 60-70mph (the worst is at about 65mph). Over time, the vibration got horrible and I noticed that my rear, driver's side tire was completely worn. Figuring it was just bad...

    Attn: TJR - Focus tires....

    Hey Tom, I'm going this weekend to get new shoes for the Focus before the rainy season down here. I'm just curious what you ended up getting and what you think about them. For anyone else who happens upon this thread, I welcome any suggestions too. We're looking to get a descent mid-range...

    OT - Blackberry Storm

    I'm considering getting the Blackberry storm when I upgrade my Verizon account in a few days/weeks. Does anyone have one, or know someone who does, and can offer any pros/cons. If I don't get a Storm, I may go with a touchscreen phone like the Dare or Voyager. Just looking for more...

    Mystery hose? - need help

    Need some quick help. I'm across town and just noticed that a hose is hanging down from the rear axle of my ST driver side. The only attached side is attached to the axle itself about 3-4 inches left of the diff. box. Any ideas what this hose is, and where it connects? Should I be concerned...
