I hit two milestones with my two vehicles that I thought I would share. My 2005 XLT Sportrac hit 40,000 miles this weekend and my 2001 SE Mazda Miata hit 50,000 miles. Thanks to a short commute to work and having two vehicles I am able to keep the miles low on both vehicles which means...

The only problem I have ever had with the full size Ford Vans is that in a strong wind it is way to easy to loose your grip on the door. If you are not expecting it the door can very easily get opened too far and cause damage to the hinges. Where I worked at the time they went as far as too...

I have a Kindle and I like it alot. It is connected to an amazon.com account so when you purchase a book with the Kindle it bills the credit card on file with them. You can also buy the book downloads online and they will get sent to the kindle as well. Mine did not come with any books on it.

Give me some of the small diesel cars from Europe thanks. Some of them get 70-80 mpg without needing all those extra batteries.

Ok I will give you that but in any case just make the E85 out of something other then corn. In any event the US needs to reduce the amount of oil we import, at some point oil is going to become scarce (either the world runs out or the forign governments wont sell it to us) and there needs to be...

On a public street or in a public space I think it is legal I dont know that for sure but in my case I just want to have proof if I am involved in an accident and if needed a judge can decide if I can use the tape or not. Given the number of bad driver videos available on youtube I dont think...

I wish there were more E85 stations not less. I guess its just me but I would rather pay more for less milage to support our farmers here in the US then buy 87 octain and line the pockets of some forign dictator but thats just me.

In this case I think the cop was the one acting in self defense. The girl "attacks" first and the police officer responds to that attack. If you attack an officer you deserve what you get in return. Anyone that will head in the direction of gunfire instead of away from it gets my respect.

I have to agree with cabrera i have lived in Northern Virginia my entire life and driving here is on most days an adventure. It seems that most people just dont care to be civil anymore on the road. What type of camer are you using and how do you have it set up? I would like to start...

Sure just as soon as Baghdad has freedom of Religion like we have here in the US we should do just that untill then we will have to settle for being the more mature and diverse nation in the world. There are just as many nut jobs in Christian sects as there are in Islam.

So?

Need to wash my Trac as well but there is still so much sand on the roads I think it would be a waste. Yours looks good though. I hope it rains alot here soon so most of this sand gets washed away.

Dont know about you but this sounds like a step in the right direction. Although I dont like the biometric identifier I think the rest sounds good to me. I for one have had it with the finger pointing going on in our government. Either work together to fix a problem or vote against...

If you want a cheep, great handling, and rear wheel drive car I would go with a Miata. Not a ton of power but it grips the turns nicely and is a blast to drive. They are also very simple vehicles so less to worry about breaking.

Dont forget the cruise control problem that could cause the vehicle to catch on fire. I dont like Toyotas all that much either but although Ford has improved it is still far from perfect. I just feel for all the Toyota owners that have to continue to drive a potentialy unsafe vehile untill...

Well in Reston VA we have close to 30 inches. I have had to drive to and from work four times already in this mess and I can say the Trac is very good in the snow. There are tree down all over the place in my neiborhood and the snow plow working in my condo complex died this morning. The roof...

I posted a few days ago with a post titled "High Idle" and due to the weather I decided to take the trac to the dealership to have it checked out. I took a copy of the reply the Todd posted and asked for all the areas to be checked. They took the truck right into the shop and told me to wait...

Thanks Todd I was already planning to check the elbow when the sun comes up tomorrow. I will look at the rest of the vacuum hoses at that time as well. This gives me a starting point for where to look. Thanks again, Ash

I tried a search but could not find what I was looking for. My 2005 started fine last night when I was leaving work last night but about half way home I came to a stop light and the engine would not drop below about 1200 RPM. When I got home tried restarting the trac but it was still running...
