I will get some photos up as soon as possible. For now I thought I would give you the 1000 mile report. The performance has been quite good. Very quiet, smooth tranny operation, and the other things one would expect. The mileage so far leaves a lot to be desired. It came in at 16.5. miles per...

Finally, the Lincoln Zephyr I ordered in January arrived. One of the positive notes is that Lincoln had sweetened the rebates since I ordered the car. After careful consideration, I took delivery and am happy to report that the vehicle is surpassing my expectations. It's too early to give any...
