  2. Mine work great. The 35% tint on the windshield might have something to do with it.
  3. Just ordered the stuff to make this happen and be impossible to notice...
  4. Yeah, I detailed mine when I got home.

    Battery Charger

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0000AXTUY If it's that short of time, you shouldn't need anything. If you're worried, though, buy this one. It bolts next to the battery under the hood. When you need to use it, you just drag over an extension cord and plug it in.
  6. Mine pulled some plastic off and half-assed washed it.
  7. If nobody responds by the time it's nice outside here, I'll pull my sill and let you know.
  8. Y'all realize that the 20 inch wheels don't make the car taller, right? When they upsize the wheel, they downsize the tires.
  9. That "Water Transfer Printing" in the link to the company that he posted is the same stuff I was talking about.
  10. I used this one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Parrot-Hands-Free-Car-Kit-Bluetooth-3200-LS-COLOR-/150996971922?pt=US_Bluetooth_Handsfree_Car_Kits&hash=item23281ef192
  11. I had the same unit in an 07 sport trac. There was no sync or voice commands. I had to add an external bluetooth kit.
  12. You can add a small led or led strip and a pin or mercury switch quite easily. Just tap the positive wire off of the shifter illumination bulb.
  13. Wow. Literacy isn't your strong point, huh? "Phase" just means that the speakers would make opposing waves that cancel each other out. That happens with two or more speakers playing the same frequencies with one or more having its polarity reversed. His don't play the same frequencies. Argument invalid. Second, read again. Neither he nor I ever said that the 10 plays lower frequencies. We both actually said quite the opposite. Again, argument invalid. Did your daddy not hug you enough?
  14. I'll be downtown sat night if y'all wanna meet up.
  15. Yo, Third. Where are you?
  16. Uh oh. You're right. I bet she's a joy to live with.
  17. Make sure to call them first to arrange the visit. I was part of a group.
  18. Well, there are several factors. First, you have a much softer tire (alleged performance tire). Second, the weight of the combo actually matters more than you think. From NASA regarding Newton's laws (http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/k-12/airplane/newton.html): "The second law explains how the velocity of an object changes when it is subjected to an external force. The law defines a force to be equal to change in momentum (mass times velocity) per change in time. Newton also developed the calculus of mathematics, and the "changes" expressed in the second law are most accurately defined in differential forms. (Calculus can also be used to determine the velocity and location variations experienced by an object subjected to an external force.) For an object with a constant mass m, the second law states that the force F is the product of an object's mass and its acceleration a: F = m * a For an external applied force, the change in velocity depends on the mass of the object. A force will cause a change in velocity; and likewise, a change in velocity will generate a force. The equation works both ways." Thus, when you go over a concave imperfection in the road, the inertia (based on mass) will carry you over it with a minimal disturbance to the vector (magnitude and direction) of the wheel/tire. This dampening is aided by the shock absorbers and their inherent tendency to slow the natural conversion from static energy to kinetic energy of the coil springs. When you go over a convex imperfection, the disturbance is mostly absorbed by the tire, with the rotational inertia acting as a damper. Additional forces are absorbed by the shocks/springs, and then the remaining forces are felt by the driver. If you have doubts, ride a bicycle over a speed bump. Then, ride over it at the same speed in your Edge. The effect is more pronounced at higher speeds. In conclusion, no matter what women might say, size matters.
