Las Vegas is a difficult place to make heads turn. What with the flashing lights, the gambling, and the lasciviousness, the average person's id explodes upon touchdown at McCarran Airport. It takes something really special to distract people in Sin City away from their base desires, which may be the reason why the only Koenigsegg dealership in America is based at the Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Touching down on American soil for the first time last year at the same place where the late Evel Knievel wiped out while trying to jump monolithic fountains on a motorcycle, a U.S. spec Koenigsegg CCX was received by Exotic Cars at Caesars over the weekend. Employees at the dealership were so excited to finally get the CCX after over a year waiting, that they flocked to the showroom floor on Saturday just to take a look. "It is beautiful," said one employee, making the understatement of the year. At $935,000, hopefully the new owner will have some more positive things to say about the car. The Swedish automaker's first American customer will pick up the supercar in the coming weeks. More than 10 vehicles have been ordered. New customers will have to wait to own the CCX for about a year. With a top speed of 245 mph, the CCX goes 0-62 mph in 3.2 seconds, and hits 100 mph in 7.7 seconds.

I wasn't laughing at the fact you want to mod your Edge. I have Enkei wheels and Hankook 20's on mine so... I was laughing at the way you worded your post. My mind was a bit in the gutter when I read it and found some of your statements amusing Double entende' city. High school bathroom humor...I know.

I laughed because of the way he...worded his post.

I'm really sorry but... I just can't help but laugh when I read this. Bad. I know.

The Pats will NOT go 19-0.

Did you drive under a bridge? Canopy of trees? Weather bad?

My new mantra: Playing for a draft pick...playing for a draft pick...playing for a draft pick...

Miami Fl (AP) -A seven-year old boy was at the center of a courtroom drama today when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulation requiring that family unity be maintained to the highest degree possible. The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried and said that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him. After two recesses to check legal references and confer with the child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Miami Dolphins football team. Both the Judge and the boy firmly believe they are not capable of beating anyone.

This "O-ring" is popping up with a few people. I certainly hope this isn't a wide spread problem.

Get thee to a dealer.

That is just wrong. Have you called Verizon to see why it's not working? Not that you don't have anything else to do today.

I saw that. Laugh-out-loud funny.

http://consumerguideauto.howstuffworks.com...da-cx-7-cga.htm You are correct about the front suspension. Read on from the article: Center for Excellence In the year 2000, Ford Motor Company, which owns 33.4 percent of Mazda, tapped Mazda to add a little "Zoom Zoom" to its product portfolio. The two companies agreed that Mazda would be Ford Motor Company's "Center for Excellence" for the development of C/D-class car and SUV architecture, as well as for the MZR large-displacement four-cylinder engine. (C/D-class cars, like the midsize Honda Accord and Toyota Camry, are the heart of the market.) The first results of this agreement were the Mazda 6 and its base 2.3-liter four-cylinder dual-overhead cam engine, both of which made their debut for the 2003 model year. The Mazda 6 C/D platform proved to be a hit and went on to be used for the Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, and Lincoln Zephyr/MKZ. The CX-7 is related to the Mazda 6's C/D architecture, but can't be considered a full- fledged C/D platform. While it is much the same from the firewall forward, the unibody design is unique from the firewall back.

I stand somewhat corrected. The CX-7 is not the same platform...completely. The front suspension is from Mazda6 components. The CX-7 is related to the Mazda 6's C/D architecture, but can't be considered a full- fledged C/D platform. While it is much the same from the firewall forward, the unibody design is unique from the firewall back.

The Volvo S40 shares it's platform with the Mazda3. Ford 500 uses a modified version of the Volvo S80 platform (basic structural architecture and suspension design).

It is the CD3 platform. Ford Edge, Mazda CX-7 and CX-9, Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, Lincoln Zephyr/MKZ, and Mazda6.

Whew..good. Then it should be something very, very minor. I haven't had the problem; in fact, haven't heard of anyone else with it. Let us know.

Red. 'nuff said.

Please don't abanded this site. Don't abandon it either. I went to a spa in Hot Springs (Arkansas) once. I took a sitz bath there. Is this what you are talking about?

A review on an 07 in November 2007? I'm so confused. Are you the guy that wrote this? The Kurt Gensheimer guy? If so, did they pay you for the review? Because if they did, sign me up. I'd love to get paid for writing a review on a year old car.

First thing you need to do is check with the dealer to see if whatever you have installed will display on the screen. If not, then you will have have a XM / Sirius tuner (behind the dash) installed wtih some kind of display somewhere in your car. I had to do this with my last car and I had them install the external display in my sunglass holder. I have the Sirius that came with the Edge, and where I do like the "clean, stealth" look, I wish I still had my aftermarket display. There are extra functions that I really miss (saving your favorite song, etc). There is really no reason that the merger won't go through - all the major players are for it.

Personally, I'm partial to 30's. Very tight...firm grip. Upon closer inspection, definitely impressive.

Ditto this. Rear deflector; very, very few signal problems. In my garage, tunnels, etc. I had a Sirius in my last car (3 years) and have never returned to terrestrial radio. I listen to Sirius on my computer at work and at home. I burn a disc or two and will, at times, listen to CDs in the Edge, but most of the time it is the radio. Forget XM...forget terrestrial...
