This is on a 1997 Continental. Does anyone know how to remove the grill in the package shelf that also has the 3rd brake light? I have a sub mounted underneath the package shelf, and just recently the grill has started rattling, and I want to take it apart so I can put some electrical tape...

Quote QuoteI don't know what everyone else is talking about, but I think the Bullits look awesome. I do think the Cobra ones looked a little bizarre (can't put my finger on why, I like the wheels themselves). I think it has a very menacing quality with the Bullits though. I like the chrome too...

Why does Ford have this system to cut off the AC? I know on the Prius the AC is powered by its own electric motor separate from the gas or electric drive system, so it can actually be on if the car is shut off, which I think is an awesome feature. Why wouldn't they do this on all cars, much less...

Yeah, Overhaulin is an awesome show, and the work they do to those cars is amazing. 100x the quality of "Pimp My Ride". I just wish on overhaulin they made over more 'regular' or deserving peoples cars. On 1 overhaulin they did one of the actors from 90210, and another they did this guy that was...

It doesn't have the M5 video! The Top Gear Video of the M5, where he does the controlled 360, thats the best one by far.

RE: All I can say is "Wow"! Yeah, that is awesome. I live about 40 minutes north of Oklahoma City (where that occured), I remember seeing that on the news like 3 weeks ago, the driver was I believe a 17 year old kid, and that was a stolen car. He's got some skills though. Chris

I don't think it's actually a flower car. I could be totally wrong, but there were quite a few companies in the 70's and 80's who still did weird coachwork on Cadillacs (ie, trucks, wagons, convertibles, coupe Sevilles, etc). Flower cars have much higher beds, so the flowers sit higher than the...

Is the Marcon V the recommended fluid? If so thats what they put in, if its something special, I highly doubt it. The Continental does not have wires, I know, cause I felt stupid when I asked them to change those along with the plugs. I'll try changing the fuel filter. How do clean or whatever...

Okay, So when I accelerate, with about 30%-60% throttle, my car (1997 Continental) seems to have a hesitation or weird kinda shudder? I thought maybe it needed plugs, but I did that and it didn't help. I also have replaced an 02 sensor, the alternator belt and tensioner. I went and had the...

This might be kind of a stretch, but I need a rear bumper for a 95-97 Continental, Opalescent White. Chris

I think I got a pretty fair deal. The sensor was $110 I think, plus $60 for 1 hour of labor, and $30 to check the code. The garage I go to is really nice and they seem to be pretty fair. Usually it's fairly easy for me to tell if a mechanic or salesman is BS'ing me (cars are my thing :), well...

Yep, it was the O2 sensor. Good call. He said it was Bank 2, sensor 1. So I guess these have 4 O2 sensors? Sounds like more stuff to replace, thanks Lincoln :D . Chris

Yeah, I actually saw 2 in Vegas. The other was a black one, but I didn't have my camera at that time. This one was really interesting, cause it was being driven by a couple who I'd say were in their mid-40's with a baby and another woman whom I got the impression was the nanny. It took the...

I did start with a regular Marauder sedan. Thats the first picture. I think it was quite a bit easier to use a sedan than the convertible prototype however. With the sedan, on MS Paint at least, all you have to do was cut and paste, and then work pixel by pixel to make sure its all blended, and...
