Couldn't find my 10mm socket... and now... the whole garage is cleaned and tools are organized... found 3 of the 10mm sockets... I know there are more hiding..

I am down 3 10mm's myself. One 1/4" deep wall and two regulars. They got lost in my cars. It sucks that you gotta buy whole kits to replace a few. Harbor Freight. Here I come.

The deep well is the one I DIDNT find... I'm so peeved right now..

Saw this note on MotorTrend

QuoteFor those still harboring some wild-child hormones, the "12S-SHO Performance Package" ($995) buys 20-inch Eagle F1 Supercar summer rubber, performance brake pads (clamping identical discs), 20-percent-stiffer damping, nine-percent-stiffer rear springs, and a bigger rear anti-roll bar plus a shorter final-drive ratio (3.17:1 versus 2.77:1), and performance tuning of the power steering and AdvanceTrac stability control systems.
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Back when my wife and I were dating I had a Jetta. Whilst at the movies there was a down pour outside. After the movie we went to get into the car and there was 2" of standing water on the floor boards... talk about cooling down a hot date!

Lol... we had just come out of the Kevin Costner film "White noise"... when I turned the car on all that came out of the speakers was white noise due to the water shorting the stereo out.... very creepy...

No steam was made THAT night... ;-)

Auto start/stop on my 1.5L ecoturd is the most annoying "feature" I have ever experienced... that is all..

There are a couple ways....drive in "sport" mode, or press the off button... but it's always on by default... annoying..

must be a pid you can change the value of, or maybe even install a "bypass" on the right wire.

I know auto start/stop can be defeated on the F150 with Forscan.  Maybe someone has figured it out for the 1.5L?
