  1. Be sure to get a coupon for the frame in the Sunday paper.
  2. I have received complaints when I use mine. To even hear or be heard I have to crank the volume to 100%. I have an 08, maybe it got better with the newer ones?
  3. Tee hee, that will be fun. My now ex fiance proposed on Christmas, after giving me a camera and vacuum cleaner. What was funny is that I was thrilled to have a new camera and a nice vacuum cleaner, could not buy either for myself.
  4. Her telling you not to get her floormats is girl gift code for it better be pretty and something I do not need. Car gear is not for everyone either.
  5. Cars get damaged coming off of the semi's often from what I have been told.
  6. I wanna know if the original poster ever went offroading. I would pay to see that. Doesn't Ford own Mazda? One in the same.
  7. Maybe it was damaged and repaired by the dealer and it was done sloppy?
  8. Would the heat gun be too much for the emblem? I wonder if it would melt before getting the film on?
  9. I like that tinted overlay, that could work.
  10. Yes, that too. Can't say I have seen a lot of guys in Beetles. Around here for some reason those Mini Coopers are popular with guys. ???
  11. I have a new 2008 with about 8k on it and I have the same thing happening. Just crummy wheels I think.
  12. My Blazer had a spare identical to the four wheels/tires on the truck. I had three flats while I had the truck, but always fixed them right away and put the spare back. To me what it looks like does not matter, as long as it works when I need it. And a stock wheel/tire would be SO heavy to get out of the back too. Aren't spares designed so people can manage them?
  13. Luckily I live in an area where crime is not rampant, but something like that could happen to anyone anywhere I guess. If I were at risk of that happening, I would carry the papers and opener with me. That would be harder for guys, a wallet does not hold much. At least if the car was broken into your home would still be safe. Also a good reason to never leave mail, bank reciepts etc in the car. I read an article once that suggested that people should not do things to their vehicles that let the bad people know that a man or woman drives it (article aimed at women) for instance, name on your plate or things on/in the car that scream 'I'm a girl come get me.'
  14. The overall size of it should match the overall size of the wheels on the Edge, just not same rim size.
  15. Today I saw an ad on tv for the Escape. Girl in the commercial said she has pink interior lights and I am SO jealous. Is that an easy mod on the Edge, or even doable? Any chance the new toys the Escape and some of the other models have will show up on the 2011 Edge, whenever it comes out. Thanks guys.
  16. Love it! Living near Chicago I need it. Have not driven mine in the snow yet, but I test drove one in the snow and it sold me on the spot. I love it in the rain, no slowin' me down.
  17. I LOVE it!!! Die granola cars! And not to hijack the thread, but one of my concerns with what I drive is size. Small cars have such high injury and death rates. I also read the the hybrids can be difficult to get into to rescue people because of the electricity going thru the car, can electrify the frame, etc in a severe crash. Just a tid bit.
  18. The way a car is driven can have a lot to do with the mileage, no matter how good or bad the EPA rating is.
  19. I am not exactly sure how they were rotated originally, but what I do know is that the front passenger is on the back driver side. That wheel is corroding more than the others so I can see where it went.
  20. She keeps you in check, huh? That is serious power. Ok, so I went to Ford today and they took my Edge and checked the alignment, it is fine. So they switched the front tires and gave it back. The drive out of there seemed better, unfortunately it is SO windy today I could not gauge anything when I got on the road, so hoping the wind will die down. Guy also said the way I brought it in is within Ford specs. I have to get it serviced between 10 and 11k, still within the 12k warranty, so if any more problems I will just nag them about it more. And the guy I dealt with today said he can warranty them to 12k, not go to the tire dealer with it. My warranty book says my BF's are under warranty for 6 years or so many miles, forget how many, so guessing that after the 12k Ford warranty that is when I would have to deal with the tire dealer.
  21. Unless they changed something, should fit 07-2010
  22. If you look at my pictures you will see that I have backup sensors.
  23. I am so cracking up right now! Don't worry about your stomach, I picture all of you to be super handsome guys with six pack abs and full luxurious hair. You go ahead and think of me as Giselle. Glad you like the protector. I am still excited about mine. The little things you know. And thanks for the laugh, needed that today.
  24. bbf, you are too funny. so politically correct. Even though I actually am a little smarter than the average gal about cars, does not change how the guys fixing them treat you, even a stupid oil change. Like two years ago, needed the hub and bearing replaced on my Blazer. Took it to a place and they said I needed this and this and this, that will be $1300.00. Called my dad to see what he thought, and he was ticked so he came to where I was and suddenly the job cost less than $400.00. I used to take the Blazer to Jiffy lube for oil changes and they would walk over with 'my' dirty air filter, one that looked nothing like mine that I had already recently changed myself and tell me I needed a new one. They once tried to tell me I had a headlight out when I did not. And guys wonder why we walk around with so much angst. Last year after my Blazer was wrecked and fixed there was a horrible thudding noise from the front right side. Took it back to the bodyshop, could not find it. Had it looked at by mechanics, top to bottom could not find it. Put new shocks on, nope. Had to get oil changed, tires rotated last winter so I ask them what they thought. They call me and say that I needed $1200.00 in work done on the ball joints both sides, and it was urgent that I do it. It had already been determined that was not the noise, so I ignored him. So, in December the fuel pump goes and my dad sends it to a place where they fix his fleet trucks. Fixed it, took it for a test drive and they were shocked at the thudding noise. Someone figured it out immdediately-it was the hood. The bodyshop did not bolt it all the way down on one side. But the one place was sure that it was the ball joints!!! So, needing some ammo for this drifting Edge issue, I knew I could count on you guys. Hope you don't mind a dumb girl hanging out with you. You guys are awesome, and thanks.
