Hated to do it, but....

I had to trade the TL in. She was a great car, probably the best I have had, just too small for 2 dogs, the lady and I and in the future a car seat. So trader her in for a 2010 Ford Edge Sport dipped in Candy Red w/ the special Sport leather and panoramic vista roof....love the Edge, but miss the pickup of the TL. Here is a pic of 'Kandy' waiting on me at the dealership. I have not had the chance to really clean/wax her yet, but as soon as I can, maybe tomorrow, there will be new pics.

Not bad! It was a smart move. She's very pretty.

You traded up to a Ford Edge! lol

I am sure it was the right choice given your situation.

I always thought the Edge tail lights kind of looked like the TL's for whatever reason. That's enough of a consolation haha grats on the new car.

Trading up would have been an MDX

Nice choice! We split the difference. I drive my 8-yr-old TL and wife drives a 2012 Edge!

Updated pics from wash/wax

Updated Photos....washed and waxed last weekend....ran outta time to do the inside so please do not pay too much attention...and so far I am averaging about 25.5 mpg. The stereo is pretty weak. When I get back from an up coming deployment, I am going to be looking into replacing all the interior speakers with Memphis speakers and a vehicle specific JL audio 10" inclosure. For a little more power, I am looking at the Steeda CAI and programer...Steeda says about 35hp with both...we shall see.....enjoy ladies and gents....
