But where's the Swedish sector of SF?

And what's so bad about the V6? It makes almost as much horsepower as the 4.6L V8 in 1996.

Besides, Ford needs a halo car now that the GT is gone.

As it was, our pump was working (well at least it spun with 12V going to it). I do really appreciate you guys offering the pump out of your parts car, though. Unfortunately it was completely dead!

Having said that, the Durangos are pretty neat. Saw one in person a couple of years ago at a Ford show.

Clearly the illusion of being green is the appeal, but I've never seen another car driven by the whole socio-economic spectrum. Obviously Toyota is doing something right.

@makeopalypse: Indeed you did. I was seriously questioning the hood mounted radiator at first, and the fact that you were towing the car on a two-wheel dolly (I passed you going over the Grapevine), but I guess slow and steady wins.... err... finishes the race! Although next time you might want to consider mounting an orange triangle on the back of your car so people can more easily pass you :)

I can't count the number of times I have been a passenger in a car with someone and the driver turns to look at me every time they speak, or use their hands to speak and end up veering out of their lane, etc. Granted, the new law will at least help to keep hands on the wheel, but it's certainly not a solution to just plain poor driving.

Stinkin' Lincoln wins.

I have a feeling that if our car did survive the race, we'd have a lot less dents than the V8lvo!

Our car barely had any damage, unfortunately.
