The wife's 2023 Lincoln Corsair Reserve finally arrived -- after 9 months and 3 days. It is powered by a four banger 2.0L (!) GTDI (Gasoline Turbo charged Direct Injection) motor. It doesn't have the acceleration (measure by butt-O-meter) of the 3.5L six MKZ, but it will get on it. We will age...

The wife is really sad about giving up her 2011 MKZ. She is still making noises about keeping it. In theory, they will start making 2023 Corsairs 1/6/2023. There is still no production date on the Mavrick I ordered.

The wife just ordered a 2023 Corsair. Red of course. I ordered a 2023 Maverik hybrid. I hope we are not disappointed.

20 bucks for this side of the ocean or 30 bucks for the other side.

Does anybody remember the posting about the message center's displaying the state of the passenger's underwear? I cannot find that posting. Is it still around?

Well, after new O2 sensors and all the other minor fixes possible, HOTLNC is still failing emissions. After each part replacement or fix, the numbers are getting higher. That leaves the cats. With a motor that is still strong at 300K miles, I'm done spending money on it. I'll be donating the...

Well, I tried all of the chemical "fixes." I'm failing Nox by almost 10 times standard reading at 25 MPH. Everything else is fine. It is throwing no codes, other than spastic O2 Sensors. Are there any suggestions aside from putting it down? Odo shows 295,041 miles.

I'm looking for a 1994 Mark VIII Variable Control Relay module (F3LF-12B577-AG). I think mine has bitten the big one. I removed the old one. All connectors look clean. I cleaned them anyway. Inside the module the PCB looks pristine. Nothing burnt; no visible damage. The only thing left to do...

Here is a link to a 2016 Shelby Mustang raffle. Seeing the ticket sales are limited, the odd are much better than a lottery. www.shelbymustangraffle.com Good luck.

The BOOK says I'm to use a 22mm crowfoot wrench to loosen this nut. A 22mm will not fit. A 24mm will not fit. Just how big a crowfoot wrench do I need to loosen this nut? Replacing the EGR valve -- maybe. Help!

My wife got a letter today from the Publisher's Clearing House's 100 Million Dollars Super Cash Giveaway Promotion", saying she won second prize. They enclosed a check for $6,470.20, to "cover insurance and attorney fees." She's supposed to call a telephone number and speak to Mr. Miller BEFORE...

I'm replacing a worn out driver side door latch. This is the latch assembly that is inside the door. This is the part that the inner and outer door handles are normally used used to unlock and open the driver's side door. My unit is so worn out, opening the door is a three step process: 1)...

I need a rear reflector for HOTLNC (94). Most of the rear lights and the lock cover connect to this trunk lid length part. I will even take a lock cover, if you have one. Mine is showing it's age -- most of the RED is faded out and the plastic is not connected to the cover. I'm assuming the 93...
