  1. The 17" wheels with winter tires mounted fit my 2014 Edge just fine. AWD and all winter tires at every corner really gets around in the slippery stuff quite well. In a couple of weeks I'll switch from the 20" Scorpions to the winter setup. It changes the look of the Edge a lot. But it's only for the winter and the difference in traction is incredible. If you like I'll post some photos and get the tire size info for you.
  2. That ride looks especially good in tuxedo black. Welcome and enjoy the road ahead!!
  3. Welcome Dood. Does being exNASCAR mean you once followed (or drove) NASCAR but no longer? Be anxious to hear about your audio upgrades. So far the Sony system in my Edge has left me less than impressed. The same system in my Taurus sounds great. But in the Edge it sounds like something is missing in the music. Both systems are stock. Like the others have already said, the HIDs are worth the money.
  4. What was the song about black birds flying? Sweet looking machine!! Welcome!!
  5. Welcome. Did you get FWD or AWD? The Edge is popular vehicle in this part of the country. But I know what you're saying about the California market. By the time I left California in 1997 a US automobile was already getting to be somewhat rare. California was always a huge market for Toyota. If memory serves correctly it was the number one selling brand out there. So an Edge is probably a unique machine out west.
  6. Always nice to have another Edge enthusiast on board. Is Tennessee a place you expect to need AWD much? I've been visiting the Oneida area for the last few years. Typically in January or February. So far I haven't been snowed on. But the roads in that area look like they'd be a lot of fun in a freezing rain.
  7. Welcome aboard and enjoy the new machine!! It looks great.
  8. Absolutely. Every new car I've owned beginning in 2007 has had their products installed. Top quality and excellent customer service.

    Hello Folks

    Welcome aboard and thanks for sharing the pics.
  10. That's a great looking ride!! I love the color. May it provide many enjoyable miles down the road.
  11. That's a fact!! The everyday drive down Highway 61 into the Jackson and Scott County areas gets littered with carcasses and truck parts. A couple of days ago an older Honda Accord was sitting on the southbound shoulder. The deer was in the median. The Honda lost the grille, radiator and a whole bunch of trim pieces. It was towed away before I drove by the following morning. But you could see the automatic transmission fluid on the ground. I watched the video of your deer hit. That beast came out of nowhere!! The Orange Crush put up quite a fight. It sure looks good after the visit to the auto body boutique. Don't you love the welcome sign to New Vienna? It's the "envy" of Iowa. Clever. Next stop for the grill modification is to order the new primed grill from the dealer. I'm leaning toward painting the two upper bars in gloss black. The lower bar presently left in chrome would be ruby red to match the bumper fascia. The jury is still out on blacking out the DRL area.
  12. That's a great looking ride!! You'll like Xzilon treatment on the paint. It was done on my 2012 Taurus and the paint still looks new. The parking space for that car was in the flight path for all the local birds. I always tried to wash the droppings off as quickly as possible. But some days it just wasn't possible. The crap had a few days to do the damage. But it washed off with warm water and Maguire's Gold Class car wash. Opinions differ on whether or not the product is worth the price. Personally I vote yes. Enjoy the new machine!!
