Maybe he plans to wax it for you, for life.

There isn't anything hard about manually locking the doors, I do it all of the time. Have you ever manually locked your Edge's doors with the key in the ignition? They don't stay locked!

I don't like the way the Edge locks after you are driving away either. What is the point in having them lock after you drive off? I work in a bad area of Washington, D.C. In the parking garage that I park in, someone could open the door before I drive away, so I understand Davy's concern for his wife. My 98 Explorer locks as soon as I take my foot off of the brake. My 82 Thunderbird locks as soon as I put it in gear. It is much harder for someone to run to your car at 10 m.p.h., pull the door open and rob you, than it is when you first start the car. I wonder what brilliant mind at Ford made the decision to make it that way.

I have the camel interior also. I bought the black fitted mats from the dealer for $70, they look great and are thicker than the ones that came with the car. It took one month to get them, they were on back order. Next thing is to get my front windows tinted to match also. The first thing I did was the bug/stone deflector on the front to protect from chips. I bought running boards to put on it, haven't had time to put them on yet. I didn't want them, but I transport a handicapped person around and she can't get in without them. Not sure she will be able to get in with them either. I will soon find out.

Congrats! I wish you the best with it. The Sport is a great looking car. I like the black trim in the tail lights, I am going to buy a set to put in my Edge. I think it will look really good with the White Sand Tricoat.

I do that as much as possible, unfortunately where I work parking spaces aren't plentiful. I try to be very careful who I park near, but some idiots just don't care. We are a Ford family too. I have a 87 Mustang LX 5.0 for sale and a 82 Thunderbird Heritage for sale, both are garage kept and in excelent condition, both have under 100,000 miles on them. My 98 Explorer is my daily driver and it has over 187,000 miles on it. I will keep fixing anything that goes wrong with it and celebrate every high mileage milestone.

I love my Edge too. I wanted one since they first hit the market. I bought an 08 Limited 3 months ago and have only put 530 miles on it. 300 of which I put on it last weekend when I went on a trip. I love it so much that I won't drive it anywhere in fear of it getting dinged by idiots in parking lots. It just sits in my garage for weeks at a time. I will drive it more after I order the bodyside molding. I have learned a lot on this forum, like where to buy painted molding to match the color of my car. Steve

Hi everyone, I just joined today and read a lot of interesting stuff so far. I bought my new 08 Edge Limited almost two weeks ago and it has been sitting in my driveway waiting for nice weather. I have an Explorer to drive in bad weather, although I want to see how the Edge does in snow, I don't want the salt all over it, so I will wait for nice weather.
