    The Ford Fiesta ECOnetic gets 65 MPG, but will not be sold in the USA.

    I don't know, but I found this read interesting, and its in our back yard: http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=1911 Also, the Fusions are nice on the mpg's. Driving from Southern California to Washington my wife averaged 34-41 mpg. I can't remember where she hit 41 but that is...

    Which is right?

    I think I got it figured out. There is an unecessary space between the 7 and the 3, so it is a 3.73 on an 8.8 inch. Now I know and knowing is half the battle :)

    Lets hear it! Vote on raised letters in or out?

    I voted white out, but that depends on solid white or white outline. Solid white is a No go for me, but oulined is a go.

    Which is right?

    On my stock 03 X Sport XLS, it has an axle code of 46. On the chart from this site it says 46 is 3.73. I looked at the tag on the axle itself and I think it says 3.88. Here is what the tag looks like: _______________________ | V6140 | 7 3 88 3820...

    What is the official paint color of my Explorer?

    Removing Pin Striping

Believe it or not, "WATERLESS HAND SANITIZER", a rag and a tiny bit of elbow grease got it off without damaging the finish. DO NOT use those Magic Eraser thingy bobbers, that requires waxing after words and took a...

    A few questions

    Hi all, New to the forums here, but I have a few questions to ask. 1) I have a 03 X Sport XLS (2 door) and would like to lift it at least 2.5-3" but am finding out a lot of info, but nothing on actually lifting it. My question is, if anybody has done it, what are the available options? (2)...

    Couldn't be much happier

    Yee Haw, Life is good today...I just bought a 2003 Explorer Sport XLS 4wd. Granted it was an unexpected purchase, but I couldn't pass it up.
