The tradeoff would be longevity. Some tires that are W Rated, as the Paradas are, have a fairly low treadlife partially due to the softer compound for high speed driving.

We drove to Indian Wells, CA recently and rang up around 22 mpg.

No additives Valvoline Semi-Synthetic Oil Everything else: Whatever the dealer puts in

Definitely good to hear. I will have to get mine before the next trip to Chicago.

The 427 would be an LSX 427 crate motor. I wanted to turn up the wick to 1500 hp but I would be content with 800-1000.

I'll have to take a pic of my settings.

My 2011: 101,000 miles as of today. My 2008 had 105,000 before I traded it.

a) Even to this day, I still want one of those with a few "tweaks" including a TT427 backed with a 6L90E. That car was based off the 9C1 Caprice which was the police package. I liked the 9C1s even from a looks standpoint. Cops I knew loved them so much that some municipalities in Chicago actually sent them to a place in Jersey that would refurbish them.

......or buy a front license plate mount and install fog lights on that.

Two words.....Road Construction

Right now: Sitting at Discount Tire to fix my left front tire thanks to road debris.

That is exactly what I was thinking. Aftermarket radio with Bluetooth. Not a full blown sound system. Yours would be easier to replace than mine because of how many systems MFT and Sync are linked to. As for where I have been, I have been monitoring the thread and listing what I may need down the road.

Nope. I can find out, though.

Why not get an aftermarket radio?

My 2002 Maxima SE: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10200702430216244&l=bb0385ccb6 My 1994 Maxima GXE: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10200702433376323&l=560e09d59c

Yep. I remember that for three of my cars.

....and different taillights.

Recently: Mine has had its 95,000 mile service and got the spark plugs replaced. Actualy runs better after that. Took it on a trip to California and she was averaging around 23-24 mpg.

First car: 1977 Cutlass. 260 cid V8. Stolen, crashed into a van, fixed, repainted Dark Cherry Metallic, was planning to put a tan 1/2 top on it and different wheels/tires. After someone tried stealing it again, I sold it. Was not the first car I had that misfortune. I had the same theft issues with a 1988 Caprice. Favorites (Besides my 2008 and 2011 Edges): - 2002 Maxima SE (Second car I ever owned with a sunroof and was PDQ despite a 4 speed auto. Burned brake rotors like nobody's business, though) - 1994 Maxima GXE (First car I ever owned with a sunroof) - 1986 S-10 Blazer 4x4 (Trust me, that 4wd system came in VERY handy during a Chicago Winter Contenders for first car: - 1974 Nova with a 350cid motor - 1971 GTO Convertible - 1970 Chevelle SS 396 - 1976 Caprice Convertible

Can you post some install pics?

Fishx: I am curious about the flickering as well. Let me know what they say.

So, what you guys are saying is that the Edge actually has an open differential like a Maxima. In that community, many of them swapped the differentials for Quaife Limited Slip differentials. Maybe that should be another thing to be added to the list. The Focus ST has a helical Quaife Limited Slip Differential. http://www.quaifeamerica.com/qdf41z.html

She's fine now. It was a mixture of a wicked cloud of nitromethane and remnants from pneumonia. I should be getting them in the coming weeks.

Had to put it on hold because wifey had to go to the hospital

My Galaxy S5 has a feature called Mirror Link which, if my phone is connected via USB, will allow my apps to be controlled via the touch screen. I wonder if the next Sync will implement it? Will we who own older Edges get it?
