Next time you are on a road trip with him, pour the one time use coffee bag from the hotel on him while he is in the shower.

For a fresh repaint, there are a lot of flaws. Looking at the ebay link, the hood doesn't line up correctly, there is a ding below the SVT on the trunk, and why wouldn't he have filled in the license plate holes? Make sure the VIN tag in the windshield is the same as the tag on the b pillar, it...

Same. Plus maybe a bottle or two of some shot I do with the wife. We've agreed to cut back on the shots, but the beer consumption will probably stay the same. Plus, Wisconsin. It's just what we do.

I understand about putting false bodies on chassis for testing (I worked on the Lincoln LS test mules that has LS chassis under Jaguar XJ bodies), but this is pretty ugly. Looks like a Sport Trac refresh as this point. If it has basically a Ranger body, why camouflage it?

The 2018 Lincoln MKC. My wife had a 2014 Escape Titanium that we were looking to move out of. It was very nicely equipped (everything but the drivers assistance and towing package) and with 33,000 miles, still felt newish. We took a Premier MKC out for a drive and were both just like eh. Now I...
