My Bad, Toyota Avalon , which is the larger cushier Camry to which I credited you with the Lexus.

Qualifies as "Nailed It!!"

the Avalon is front-wheel drive, powered by a V6 engine. In recent years, there has been considerable overlapping with its platform mates, the Camry V6 and the Lexus ES,

Right purchased it because I wanted a car larger than a Camry which it is, and didn't have to pay the cost of a Lexus which it basically was. It's since been traded.

I have a 2009 Lincoln MKZ right now. I got it from my mom after she died. Just recently went to MA and drove it back to CA. 25k miles in brand new condition(now it’s got 30k). She bought it and basically never drove it. I fucking love that car.

Did you know Lincoln is no longer making cars? They stopped this year it will be SUVs only moving forward. Kind of sucks I always liked the Continental

I adored the '70. The block developed a crack and I traded it for the '72, brand new. I still remember the sticker price on the window. $3333.33.

I'm driving the 2014 Lincoln MKT now. Tis thing is built on the frame of a continental limosene and is a full foot longer than the MKX. Rides smot as silk and handles like a bicycle. When I get back to NH it's going into the shop for an engine pull. The heating system is sporadic and they say it needs a new water pump. The pump is part of the turbo and is inside the engine. It take four days to pull the engine, break it down, replace the pump, re-assemble the engine and put the engine back. The great thing is that the transmission also gets over-hauled as part of the repair. Cost? $4500-$6000. And it's all under warantee!!!!!!!

I did not know that but I absolutely love that car. I am not into cars and don't really care much about them other than cost, mileage, and reliability, but I really love this car.

Yeah a lot of manufactures are limiting car production and increasing SUV production. My Outback by some is considered and SUV by others a wagon. I consider a wagon, but I too prefer a car.

The MK-T, MK-S, Explorer, Flex and Taurus all ride on the same chassis derived from the Volvo S-80.

Is yours AWD? If so, have them change the fluid in the PTO while they are in there. That is the weak point of the driveline. '17 & 18's came with a PTO cover that had both drain and fill holes. Prior to that they only came with fill holes as Ford didn't expect the wear that occurred because of the heat from the exhaust being so close. It is even worse on the turbo equipped models and/or those that get driven in slippery conditions a lot..

It would give BB the draft capital to manipulate the draft. He could trade out of round one with both pick and gain more capital. For what ever reason this team has the knack to take DBs late in the draft and have them work out. The Pats are cap tight and still in rebuild mode, I could see this a very beneficial. Just not sure what JC s value could be set at.

Isn't it two firsts for a tagged player?

I m really not sure how all that works I don't pay a whole lot of attention to cap space, tags, etc

 

[BigKen]

yep. I'll tell them to check everything before they give it back.

Talk to you on Monday, Good lord willinánd the snow don't rise.

Headin'north tomorrow at 5:00am, stoppingin Charlotte for a nap and will hopefully be home in NH about 6:00 pm Saturday night. Goingto try to cover 725 miles each day. Hope the gas on the way is cheaper than $3.69 it is here in Panama City Beach.

that's a nice little car

Took a bit ;longer than expected.

Fog was so thick Friday morning when we left, we could only drive about 30 mph for the first two hours. That set us way behind.
Spent Friday night in Charlotte. Traffic and road construction in PA was frightening for the wife and she demanded we stop for the night in Allentown.

Finally got home at 1:00 today and have been clearing some snow, unpacking, resetting my office, sorting and checking mail. Finally got a chance to reset the computer. It won't be late tonight.
