    Official BS thread!!

    Re-Opened... Okay, I'd hope we're all mature enough that this thread can be re-opened. Misunderstandings or no, there's never a good reason for personal attacks and - as evidenced - they will not be tolerated. I'm probably the most laid back moderator here - it's extremely rare that I have to...

    What do you know about the Ford Escape?

    I test drove both the V6 and 4-banger and was impressed by both. Of course the V6 has the power and auto tranny. I'm considering one when the lease on my '01 Sport is up (September). I wish Ford had continued with the Sport, but oh well. :( The Escape will still do most of the things I want...

    '01 Sport tranny...

    Does anyone know the average life of the transmission used in the '01 Sport? Also, what maintenance is suggested and on what schedule? I'm currently at about 41K on mine and have noticed the shifts - at times - are not as smooth as they once were. I would think that at such relatively low...

    PS2 vs. X-Box

    IntelliVision! :D That thing ROCKED! :p Still, my vote has to go for Xbox. The DVD drives in both Xbox and PS/2 are their weaknesses (Sony and MS went CHEAP), but the Xbox seems to fare a bit better. I've spoken with friends and employees of EB Games and Best Buy who've all said the...

    The OFFICIAL H2/H3 hatred/loving whining/praising thread...

    That's a good point, many times they purposely add body cladding, additional lights, blackout portions, etc. so you can't readily tell what the finished product will look like. I've seen quite a few prototypes here in Colorado (they test brakes on Pikes Peak a lot) that looked very different...

    Ford freestyle

    Yeah, I agree with Joey p. - looks kind of like the Audi All-Road/VW wagon. Not bad, but not something I'd want. That Mustang on the other hand - NICE! :eek::D It looks a bit "Z-ish" from the back...

    End of the road for Explorer Sport?

    Damn! I've been driving Explorer Sports since '93! Loved each and every one of 'em too (1993 - purchase, 1996, 1998, 2001 - leases). Very sad news indeed, it's a great truck... :( Dead Link Removed

    Bye Bye Colorado

    Should be quite a few places - Austin area, San Antonio area, Del Rio, Big Spring (near Midland), Lubbock, Amarillo and probably a few others. Unfortunately I won't be able to do any wheeling while down there since I'm renting a minivan for the trip. If you're anywhere near any of those...

    Bye Bye Colorado

    Doty! Take care and enjoy that Texas heat and humidity! Looks like I'll actually be heading down there soon as well shooting a video; two-weeks all over the state! I just love Messin' with Texas... :D

    DENVER COLORADO: Anybody Planning any tame runs this week? Aug 1-3?

    Wish I could spare the time. There's always "Matt's Trail" (a.k.a. Saxon Mountain) right outside of Idaho Springs. I don't remember if you've run it before or not, Jared. If not, it's a pretty tame ride but still has a few areas that might give a few thrills - especially if they've never been...

    Hey Heath, I seem to have something in my eye - can you look at tell me what it is? Dead Link Removed :D

    Holy Cross, CO, July 21, 2002

    Yeah, we all have some degree of goofiness around here. Perhaps not to the extent of Matt "Pants Optional" Adams, but we manage to have a good time... So no trail run and people dropping out left and right, bummer. :( Oh well, as someone else said, at least we can still have fun at the...

    Colorado Colors Run 2002

    Last I had heard it was voted that the "Colorado Colors Run" (or more accurately the Big Autumn Explorer Run) would move to Idaho and be hosted by studdedx. The thread is here: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=43758 If that's no longer happening, or people would...

    Holy Cross, CO, July 21, 2002

    As Heath said, I've committed to tape this run professionally and - if it's exciting enough - might even put it together with music, etc. for other board members to enjoy... So, someone who's doing this trail, please be sure to save me a seat in your truck! :D Perhaps we should "give it a...

    New 4x4 club, Colorado. Kick off in Moab!!

    Sounds interesting - I like the name 4x4ORD - simple yet clever. :) I'm sorry I won't be able to attend the "kickoff" run in Moab, but look forward to meeting you down the trail, as it were...

    Moab! May 31-June 2, 2002

    Can't make it... Well, I've been waiting as long as I could to see if things with my schedule changed but they haven't. Unfortunately, that means I won't be making it to Moab this year... :(:(:( I still have my reservation at the Silver Sage Inn if anyone is looking for lodging or wants to...
