That's just the joy of owning a Ford. They've always been horribly engineered death machines. I'm good with it.

My CX5s had no rust issues. That's a Ford problem from decades ago. Like avoiding Dodge because you don't like Teletouch transmissions.

Friday, new shocks and struts. I found some NOS police interceptor shocks/struts FoMoCo. As you can see, I've already updated the headlights, and installed a bluetooth drop-in radio with mic for cell phone/Pandora/etc. as well as upgrading the spotlight to a UNITY LED conversion unit.

That's super cool companies did that. Yah, I just want to retire and live a few years and die. I could care less about all that other stuff and if there's anything left I'll leave it to some random organization.

I think it would be cool to have worked in a factory or something back in the day and get given a pension. That's like welfare for when you retire, right? In exchange for staying with one company for 20 years or something?

I'd enjoy a low pressure easy job like auto sales, etc for a few days per week. Wouldn't even want a draw. Just let me sell a few.

By the time I plan to retire, everything will be paid off. I'll only need money for food and clothing and health insurance. Car insurance, home insurance, and a small electric bill.

Purely alignment vs. tread compound. I drive a nearly 5000# 600awhp SUV like a bat outta hell and tires are fine. 15K miles on them and 8/32 remaining, still.

I spent a few hundred bucks and got it detailed out, and other than a few small tears (hinge and holster point) in the driver's seat cushion, this thing's interior is in amazing shape. I'm still on the hunt for a replacement seat/cushion, but will just seatcover it if I cannot find. Got it...

It's actually pretty loud. There is literally zero sound deadening in this car. You can hear the transmission, diff, etc. very clearly. I had kindof forgotten just how aggressive these actually were. They are absolutely what you'd expect of LE/MIL gear: Bare bones minimum refinement.

I do everything. 100% of the glass in the car. My tint shop makes it match.

Ceramic tint on all glass surfaces lets even the most anemic AC work fine. I do all my cars, especially my EV's this way, and don't take much of a range hit at all in 100*f weather (maybe 5%?).

I had a 2015 NA model and a 2019 turbo model. Highly recommend the turbo.

The ground clearance is literally why I sought this out. Rims, I kindof like the 10 hole. Cheap sure, but they give it presence in a way nothing else can at 4300#/250hp.

Im doing a radio, ceramic tint, moon hubcaps, led drop in bulbs (confirmed to have oem beam pattern, not that other nonsense from cheap drop ins.), windshield film, and otherwise just fixing little wear and tear stuff.

Right now, the main thing I want is a new seat cover for the driver's seat cbottom cushion. It has a tear. Probably from a holster/radio.

Well, I bought it. I looked all over the engine. Zero leaks. I crawled under it. Zero leaks to diff, axles, front or rear of trans, etc. Bushings all healthy and uncracked. Car ran great. My obd scanner revealed all things nominal regarding voltages, temps, vacuum, all of it. It has some minor...

Dude, trucks are the worst. I literally saw one a few years back (may have been a Trundra actually) gently going up and icy bridge. It just whipped into the gaurd rail. I say it, because the driver surely didn't dial that request in. Zero fishtail or anything, just WHACK 90* into it. My...

I would think RWD would do better in the winter. Every time you accelerate/go up a hill, that's weight over the back end. These cars are 53/47 (Same as my 370Z, which the engineers were SO proud of...), so it doesn't take much to shift that weight to a rear bias.

Around $6K. I will see how I can move that needle in the morning when I go look at it.
