Been a ford fan since my dad and I rebuilt my 78 f-250 20yrs ago.

Just last Christmas I got my wife a 2014 Explorer Sport. Sure comes in handy when you have 3 little ones. Fastest rig at soccer practice LOL

Just wanted to say I've been apart of many car clubs and forums and this seems like a great place so far. There are some fairly knowledgable people here willing to give advice and share experiences. We recently had a stuck waste-gate that caused all kinds of issues. Along with multiple other problems that the dealership dealt with. Drives much better now. The only thing I have done is swap some LED fog lights in. Looking forward to a short intake, tune and 3bar sometime in the future here. I'm big into fabing up my own stuff and doing things myself.

Here are some of my other rides in the stable.
fab'd up some stuff for a few rallys we took my buddy's built Raptor 6.2L on.

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!

We're out in the country so bright lights are really important especially with winter coming. Oh yeah my favorite is the 72 shovelhead brought her back from the dead about 4yrs ago. It turns heads for sure. The 01 Mustang is my Dad's but we wrench on it together, headers, intake, UDP, tune and borla's out the side. It scoots pretty well.

Welcome!  Nice Cougar.  Don't see many of those.  Definitely not ones that look that good.

I had a short stint with a v6 Contour and learned to love the way those cars drive.  Uncle had a Cougar.  They weren't exactly trouble free, but the European driving style was ahead of their time for the US market.

Thanks man, SVT swap parts got me better flow and more hp tq and Roush suspension keeps that thing snug in the corners. I'm actually trying to sell it right now. Only has 47,000 miles on it and I've always garaged it in a heated cooled garage. It's mint. An acquired taste. I like all kinds of vehicles as you can see. None of my vehicles are horribly fast but they move pretty well.
