I never drove one, but I think they look great and that EcoBoost is nice. They have a lot of comfort options that are cool too.

I had a Taurus as a company car, loved it. They have plenty a room, handle very well in the SHO upgrade is pretty amazing.

Thanks for the input guys. Might try to ummmm, test one out.

Kind of funny, my F-150 was not holding up to the wife's. Not as much power, and the mileage was abysmal. I finally decided to ditch the 35s and go back to stock tires. Still only able to manage 15 mpg at the very very best.
Today I'm jump starting a truck, this thing doesn't sound right. Bad vacuum leak. Viola! Getting 22+ mpg on the highway right now!

I expected the poor mileage to be connected to that right foot of yours. It's usually planted deep into the floorboard.

That was my thought too Alan. But nothing I could do seemed to make it better.

Got new wheels installed Saturday. Need to get wider front tires, but I'm really liking these. They're from Project 6GR/Need 4 Speed Motors. 19x10" all around. Need to swap out my front 255/40's for 275/40's like I have on the rear. Soon...

Those are some good looking wheels, they fit the car very well.

I'll be working on lawn mowers today, have to put drive belts in the rider and I have a new coil for the push mower, hopefully I'll be able to resurrect that one.
