What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

[BBOX]

Man I wish I could go that dark in Illinois, 35% is the limit here, it's not bad but I'd love a bit darker.

Yeah, the limit in ohio is 50% on the fronts. But I've never heard of anyone having problems down here unless you Tint the windshield.... In which i didn't do!

Unfortunately there's a town nearby that is notorious for having ticky-tack popo, I got the fronts on my LS done before it was made legal here in Illinois a few years back, I was golden until I happened to roll through that town and then BAM! Warning ticket. Can be too mad because "the law is the law" but I figured I'd just go with the 35% on the MKS and avoid the hassle.

There is about 60 million dollars worth of Ford flagships represented on this site. You'd think they'd have a rep here.

Mrs. FoMoCoSHO  is going to have a word with her field rep to try to get someone from Ford to give us some love.

The extra inside knowledge would be great. Would we be able to get doctor patient privilege in privacy, as some are tuned before warranty expires?

Installed my Tstat. Waiting for SCT to support my strategy so I can install the 3 bar and get a tune loaded on my X4.

I'm really curious to hear your impressions on these tires. I had a set of first Gen UHP's that were outstanding in the dry and rain and acceptable in the snow. The only problem was they wore extremely fast. They gave me a second set at 50% off and the same thing happened. I got about 12k out of each set.

Those tires were absolutely amazing in the rain and if they fixed the wear issues I wouldn't hesitate to put them on.

Something else I remembered. About those Generals.....the sidewall was really soft at stock pressures. Once I cranked them up they were awesome.

I'm about to go load my fourth tune revision for the last week from Torrie. I also picked up a radar detector to help cover my ass some when I'm making my data logging runs through Mexico.

Car went to dealership yesterday for....
Reische 170
Plate lamp tsb
Halfshaft tsb (It's pretty much destroyed)

Having issues getting parts and I'm in a 2014 Taurus SEL.

Having driven a regular Taurus now, I believe I will be removing my Taurus emblems as my car is nothing like a "Taurus". The difference is quite shocking, kudos to the SHO engineers!

Wonder how much ethanol you can run in an SEL?

If I have it another day I'm going to hook up Torque and check out the fueling parameters.

It's sporting a flex fuel badge...   

Meh, I left my MX in the big girl.

If not I may go borrow one from the lot fill it full of E-85 and do the same....

Random gas mileage report.

Achieved my best highway mpg driving to Raleigh and back. About 600 miles going 80 I got 26 exactly. That's a math count not using the onboard computer. Running the 3bar tune too. Not bad for 450hp tank.
