Dang sounds like a car show parking lot.  Well you'll surprise some fellow employees no doubt when y'all leave for the day if they feel like playing

No doubt, I'm fair game for a little play on the streets... not much... and rarely over the speed limit...

But apparently there is a large group of guys who go the track (autoX and 1/4 mile) so it could be a fun meetup.

Heck yeah!  I'm not sure exactly what you do for work but it sounds like a perfect match for you!  Car enthusiasts and a track group?  Sign me up haha


I just took at a job at Amazon... and the guys that have been there for 4 years are making a killing on the stock they invested in... I'm one of the IT guys there now..

Lots of younger guys who are single with money... why not indulge in a nice car right? Although the majority of them haven't really heard much about the SHO.. they didn't believe it runs a sub 4 second 0-60 at the track.

Hopefully there is a track get together before the season ends.. there is a guy with a P100D Tesla with Ludacris mode... I wanna see it go!

Congratulations on your new job there!  I for one would definitely indulge more being single of course probably not with the money those guys have.  I've only seen some video of those teslas....man I would love to see one go down the track.  Aside from feeling that instant relentless power.  Head rush x10!

I'm having the PTU Flushed @ my local friendly Ford Dealer since my back gave out..:(
The so called Tech's cannot locate the Top fill drain plug on my PP-SHO! He was only able to locate the bottom temp sensor since 0900 hrs and its way after 14:00 hrs now!!
I asked to speak with the Service manager since my patience was thining and had to show him exactly where the fill drain is located!!! SMH! 
Still waiting eagerly to see or hear what the heck is going on!    >:(

Its quite sad as they are clueless on how to find the hole and would think they would have a FSM or SSM on the procedure!
I told them that I will make certain to write an excellent review. Z

For anyone who was wondering, 25 bags of cellulose insulation fit comfortably in the back (and front) of a 5th Gen Explorer. I could have maybe wedged 2, MAYBE 3 more in there (4, if I sat on one).

NOTE: The extreme R-value may cause you to get a little warm on your ride home.

Ha Ha.  We are always bragging about how much we can fit in the Edge.  20 bags of mulch in the hatch area with room to spare with the seats up.
