I have no idea. Every time I buy one I have to wait 2-3 days.

The truck hasn't moved for a little over a week now so I took it for a 50 mile ride on the highway. You just don't realize how nice they are until you tote around in a Festiva....

A Subaru Brat is nice compared to a Festiva.

Went to Oklahoma for a little Casino fun.. coming back we ran into a ice storm for the last 150 miles, everyone was driving great till we got into San Angelo, Wrecks on every bridge.. Had a tahoe fly pass me and right when he got past us he lost control, went down a embankment, over corrected and rolled it 5 times.. We stopped and i ran down there and he was alright. Texans and there icy driving

Word of wisdom....anyone with 09+ ford vehicle eqipped with the smart junction box/modules will want to keep alert when the following happens after startups .......air bag light stays on, nav radio indicates malfunction, seat belt reminder stays lit eventhough everyone is buckled, dome lamps don't turn off......these are all symptoms that happened when my battery was dying......I had to cancel my order for the pro xs d6500, it was backordered anyways and I ended up going to sears and purchasing a die hard platinum group 65.....now none of these symptoms have not reoccurred .....

So i installed my gears this past weekend. Install wasnt bad took the about 8 hours each diff. Hardest part about the front is fighting that diff back into its place, that thing is heavy goin back up. Then of course you get spoiled doing the front on the bench and get to do the rear on the floor. I cant wait to break them in and get on it a bit, so far i got 68 miles since yesterday nite. Hoping to hit the 100 mark tonight.

My boss tried out a black Platinum on Saturday. He liked everything but the turbo lag on the EB. Sticker on it was 52k. He was asking about the 6.2. He drove a Lariat but didn't like the way you adjusted the tilt wheel. Wimp!
