    Decided to let a little more fresh air in - No more doors!

    I think it looks awesome with the doors off! It looks good with doors on, but even better with 'em off.

    Bolt Action Target Rifle: Family Fun Shooting!

    Is there a particular reason for the bolt action? I'm just curious, not trying to persuade you either way. Federal Bulk Packs are tough to beat for their price. 550 packs are less than $20. I haven't read too many good reviews about the Winchester and Remington bulk packs. I shoot a...

    electric locks

    My '07 gives you that option on the HUD. I also like to unlock all of the doors with one push of the button, or keyless entry. It also give the ability to unlock all doors once you shut the car off. If someone shady is hanging around my passenger side you could always use your key to unlock...

    Fishing

    You can't go wrong with a gift certificate. That way he can pick out what he likes. Everybody has different taste. He'll want to fish with what feels comfortable to him. There are no answers to fishing questions, only opinions. I have a backpack tackle box that is also a chair. I love...

    Gen 2 Oil Life Monitor

    I like your thinking, Lee! I wondered why somebody would set their oil life to anything less than 100%. What is the point of changing the age? Do I really know that the oil life is 80% versus 75%? Whose spec is it based on? Hopefully it was an American engineer that got paid for that...

    Turning Circle

    When your sense of direction is as bad as mine you test your turning circle constantly:)

    Gen 2 Oil Life Monitor

    Would you be able to manually change your oil life to 10% to test this? My '07 lets you change the percent yourself, but it doesn't seem to reset the OLM. The warning will still go off unless you go through the actual reset process. I don't care for the OLM myself. Whether it works like...

    Turning Circle

    I have an '07 and I'm quite pleased with the turning radius. It surprised me the first time I turned it around. Sorry for the double-post. I put the wrong year in the first time. It's been corrected now.

    Driving Habits that You Hate

    Another to add to the list: People that don't acknowledge courtesy. I try to be a courteous driver to others, unless they are driving like anyone mentioned above. If they need to get over in traffic I'll let them in, unlike all of the surrounding drivers that have closed any gaps around them...

    MPG And MPH

    I have a '07 V6 AT. I get upwards of 24mpg @ 60 mph, 19mpg @ 65-70. 16mpg through the city. I am slowly getting better at driving the speed limit. It was effortless to speed in my last car, so I got used to passing everybody. Now I'm the guy getting passed.

    rotator cuff surgery

    KL: Yes, it is 100%legit. I thought there were a couple more pictures, but I don't see them now. There was a video, but the girl that took it can't transfer them from her phone to a computer. I did plan on seeing a doctor this year in regards to my r/c because I could barely throw a ball...

    rotator cuff surgery

    I had my surgery this Spring. I had a bone spur that caused the initial tear, but the straw that broke the camel's back came on Easter Sunday when I fell on it while surfing a Radio Flyer down a grass hill. I was out of work for a few days following the surgery(desk job). They had me out of a...

    Exposed Fuel Filler Pipe behind wheel

    My '07 looks just like that. I'm assuming that it's normal, or there is a high demand on the black-market and we've all been robbed.

    10 Cars Mechanics Hate

    I was surprised at how easy it was, once I knew the procedure. I guess the dealership was trying to screw me when they said four hours- go figure. There was even less room underneath to reach them. The driver side rear plug had the least amount of room of them all. If the coil/plug boot...

    10 Cars Mechanics Hate

    I had an Impreza and I can say that mechanics hated not only for its reliability, but also everything is s#!*packed under the hood. A friend of mine that is a mechanic told me sorry, but I won't work on your car. The dealership wanted $600 to change the plugs because it is considered a four...

    FM Broadcaster

    My wife and I have tried different FM transmitters and found that the Belkin models were the best. I have read reviews that stated differently, but I would only buy Belkin based on my personal experiences. The other brands that I tried all had non-stop interference. The Belkin model(s) very...

    Fuel Economy Improvement

    I personally experienced a ten percent increase in fuel economy when I removed the intake silencer from my WRX. I usually set the cruise in the high 70's and very often had passing bursts of 90-120mph with the a/c on and still got 28mpg. Before I removed the silencer I was getting 24/25mpg max...

    ST-V6 (VS) ST-V8

    What's the competition? Fuel economy, drag race, price, off-road race, top speed.... Are the drivers hypothetically comparable in skill and weight? Maybe I'm a smartace, or maybe there are a few unknowns that are critical to your question:grin:

    2011 Explorer

    I like it in the pictures, but I'm not sure if it will have the same effect in person. It reminds me of the FJ Cruiser. I think this would be a good style for a smaller format like the Escape.
