I don't know...everything I've read says you'll have massive smiles and be in love with the car and not want to sell it.

Now, will I miss my TL and the S2000? Probably...

S2000TL Deez Nuts...
They will probably be worth way more money later on, like the S2k.

Vagon or sedan? Jason is looking for one too.

Never even knew they rented out titanium Fusions.

I'm guessing you're talking about the 3rd gen Edge the 2016? Those are nice, if I didn't need a 7 seater, I would have bought an Edge. I'm surprised the Explorer is still called the limited and not Titanium.

The platinum is the titanium.

I guess the trucks get different lines.

Shit Ford just stick with Base, XLT and limited.

The truck would look better if it didn't have the writing on the tailgate.


I'm confused now supposedly the 2016 F-150 they have a limited model.

If I end up getting a Fusion I may go used.

2016 SE Fusion is 23k
2016 Titanium Fusion is 30k.

I went to Seattle. It was fucking boring. Fuck that Boeing shit and that Space Needle crap.
If you're going to Seattle might as well go to Vancouver. It's nice there, and you know Canadian are mostly peaceful.

Holy hell this thing is scary fast.. Only 6500 miles on it. CUE system leaves something to be desired..

Maj, I remember you talking about going on an onramp... I got onto the freeway and was trying to merge... stepped on the gas, and before I knew it, i was hitting 90... I hit 65 in 2nd gear


I think this thing is going to get me in trouble.

Hey JB weld can repair plenty of high pressure shit AFAIK, maybe you didn't use enough!

Also I don't know. Went to Seattle coming from Vancouver, so in direct comparison Seattle is pretty lame. I didn't have time to look up non-touristy shit though.

We like to Explore.... I have a 2 year old so kid friendly things are nice too.

I just want to go on a trip somewhere. Along the west coast. Don't I need a passport to get into Canada?

I don't know guys. I don't know if I want to pay 25k+ for a car. (Accord Sport, Fusion, Camry) Just give me a TSX or 3G TL

J, if your seriously thinking about getting a V and selling the TL... let me know.

Yes you do. I imagined everyone had a passport here.


Go to Seattle, thoiboi can hook you up with good spots I'm sure. But don't go to the overpriced Space Needle, I warned you!

It's OEM, on a luxury car. Of course you're not going to hear it.

I drove up to Seattle from Sacramento a few years back.. There was this BEAUTIFUL lake called "Crater Lake" on the way up:


Apparently there was a fire there yesterday though... Funny enough, when I drove up 2 years ago, there was also a fire that closed many of the roads... We got up to the lake and it was all smoke


Maybe do a road trip to Portland and then Seattle check out the sights, the hippies etc..?

New cars are nice. But not if you have little children. You will cry every time you see the car get a little bit more fucked up.

I say you get an 06-08 TSX or 07-08 TL. I'd also budget some money into the purchase to do all maintenance on the car so that you don't have to worry about anything for a few years. Not just Tbelt. Do all fluids, brakes, filters, thermostat, valve adjustment, tires and any other odds and ends.

Plus, those cars are cheap as fuck in comparison to a new 25-35k car. Not a bad idea to drop 10-12k on a car you know you like and another 2k for maintenance.
