  1. Yeah, with AWD, you have to drive as if you have a egg under your accelerator, push too hard, it will crack, and you'll get yuckers all over. Around town, I can manage 17, and that's about it. Highway driving, with cruise on, and l keep it around 64-65 mph, I can get 26 on it, but push it to 70+ mph, and mileage drops way down. Whats really wild, is that my wifes FWD MKX, gets top mileage at 80 mph, go figure ???

  2. Congrat's and glad that you finally got your sport, 7 weks wasn't too long of a wait. I'm sitting on 20's with my "X", lower than what my Explorer was, but still a sweet ride. Get a good coat of wax on in, preferably Collinte 845 Insullator. Can't beat it, for sure.

  3. Best thing to do, is go to a shop that does interior painting/dying. When my wifes MKS was about a week old, I accidentally got black magic marker on the camel colored passenger seat, drivers door, and center console, which was a medium grey colour. Don't ask how I did it, too long to explain, but I was sick as a dog when it happened. I went to the dealer, nothing would get it out. The dealer had a guy come to the dealership, he spray painted (dyed) the passenger seat & door, where the magic marker was, and resprayed the center console too. He knew exactly what colour to use, and that is over 4 1/2 years ago. It was $175 to get the job done, but worth every cent.

  4. Come on down toJersey, you can do mine (only kidding). I plan to get to the wife's MKS first, then mine. I have to get my Duragloss products first. \I told my wife that she can run my car for a few days, want to do a complete job on hers, although it's not that bad. She was at Home Depot the other week, some guy started talking to herr about the car (how great it looks), asked where she has it detailed, and she told him that I do,it. He gave her his number, said I should call him, he would like to talk to me, and guess what, he's in the detailing business. MAybe it was just a pick up line :shades: .

  5. Yeah, we are all adults, I guess I'm just ol fashioned and feel that profanity doesn't have to be part of our daily vocabulary, especially with

    online forums. If I rattled cages, sorry, but this is me, old fashioned Joey G !

  6. King Mike, I have to differ with you regarding gas mileage. My wife and I went to Pa on Sunday, used cruise for almost the entire trip (had it set at 64 mph). Traveled 253 miles, used 8.9 gals mof gas, giving a very respectable 28.4 mpg's. If I drive it hard,k mileage does go way down, but where's the rush? Ny the way, I drive a MKX, with the 3.7 in it.
