It's a 97 Ford Explorer XLT 4x4 with a zillion miles on it. Should be perfect.



Side question, who else hasn't put their 3S away for the winter yet? Just curious....

Mine usually only get parked when she's sick... Ok... When I beat her like a red-headed step child...LOL!

I drive all year with summer tires.

Although this year I have another car, so it may not see snow, but I still plan to drive it inbetween the flakes.

new winter beater, in only in black. I'll try to snap some digital pictures if I can ever get home from work before 7 PM.

Only problem is the car is to smart for me. I can't figure out half of the do-dads in the thing. I got the navigation to work, and I figured out about half of the radio functions, and the cup holder. And in all fairness the cup holder should have come with better instructions.

I also can no longer understand why heated leather seats took so long to catch on in Wisconsin with our winters. I'll admit to being skeptical. I looked at them as something that seemed pretty lame, before I had them.

I was wrong.

Now I need different pulleys for the supercharger, some blinged out rims, and some vanity plates. Game on!

My purple people eater rules. Benz? Olds? Wtf, those are nothing but luxury rides. If you want true style and a little bit of tuffness you gots to get yourself a purple gmc sonoma. They rule. Oh, BTW on Sunday when it was windy, it downshifted going downhill just to keep a steady speed of 65. What do you think of that eh? That is pure 4 cylinder power.

Yeah, so like I said, I got the navigation to work, and that was pretty cool, and if you miss your exit, it will automatically find you the next best way somewhere, and it will continually talk you through the whole process.

I found this out on my way home from work last night. I entered in a road on the south side of green bay and I live on the northeast side. So I went buzzing by the exit that it wanted me to turn at and it calmly gave me the next option. I went by that one, and still un-razzled it gave me the next one (though at this point the car must be thinking that I'm a complete moron for missing to exits in a row.) when I went by then next one it shut the radio off, brought up the map and patiently explained to me that my next exit was 1/2 a mile ahead. It then reminded me ever 500 ft that my exit was coming up.

By this time I was trying to shut the damn thing off and keep my eyes on the road. no dice. It just keeps talking. Probably because it thinks I'm such a moron for missing all the previous exits.

Turning on the navigaiton is easy. and it gives pretty awesome directions. It's getting the damn thing to shut up that's the real trick!

I also found out that it remebers names of CDs that you put in it, and I found the previous owners CD collection list. boys to men was the highlight... Note to self: Erase CD memory before selling.
