Congrats Jerry!!! It took Tixer almost the entire Kansas trip last year to figure out how to disengage traction control. We left a gas station in Wisconsin and when he got out onto the road, it was clear that he figured it out. I was behind him just dying in laughter. They do pretty good FWD burnouts. :rolleyes:

...Although even "off" wasn't 100% off. Eventually, the car said "enough of this" and put a stop to it.. Until next time, anyway.. :D

Either way, great car. I enjoyed my time behind the wheel immensely, (if immaturely,) and The guy at the gas station was asking me all kinds of questions about "my" MKZ, while ignoring Kirk's dead-sexy new Mark VIII entirely. I'll bet yours turns heads too. Great photo!

Thanks guys.

This MKZ has turned out to be the best cruising Lincoln we've ever owned. We took a trip in it to San Francisco and back (from Fort Worth). I drove it all and there was no "driver butt fatigue." The reason has got to be the tushy coolers (to steal Trixie's wording.)

We've also had it at 95+ MPH and the car hugged the road like a race car. For a V6 this car has impressive get up and go!

This is the wife's car. When she takes it to work, I always remind her the car color is "Arrest me Red." She states she paces traffic at 85....

Great car Jerry! Great pic, too! I'm just upset that you can't pick just tushy or back (at least on our 2009). But the lack of coolers was why I always tried to get cars with cloth interiors -- imagine where you are it's even more important. ;)
