Finally decided to test out my Dragy with a zero to sixty run by merging onto the highway. It is with 91 octane gas and a slight up hill grade. Most of the onramps around here are down hill as you will see . Turns out Dragy is very easy to use and I had no trouble getting it to work with my iPhone . I placed it in the box on top of the dash then closed the lid and it worked fine. Although it shows 1/8 mile time I backed off after 60MPH to keep things safe and sane.

This person was in the wrong lane to turn left and was blocking traffic. They decided to turn anyway on a red light arrow. It would have been much safer to just go straight and then turn around up the street.

scorpionking102 Yes there is a problem with the oil pan. I also have a 2016 Sport and have had this problem. My dealer says it is because of the different expansion rates of the two materials plastic and aluminum. As they heat and cool it loosens the RTV sealant used on the pan . There is no "O"ring or gasket just a beed of RTV. The first time I came in for a fix they just covered the outside of the pan with great gobs of RTV . It looked like heck and only lasted a couple months . The second time they replaced the pan and so far no leaks . As for an aluminum pan I believe that is one way to go for a permanent fix, but as far as I know there are none available . Ford needs to address this before a class action is taken. It is not right that a car in these modern times leaks anything. Hey Ford it is not 1950 !!

The camera just records their actions at that moment in time and I have no way of blocking out the plates, I would if I could. All it takes is one mistake no matter the reason, distracted or tuckered out. One of my videos helped solve an argument with the Insurance Co. over who was at fault in a crash. It was a video just like the ones I posted above except there was contact.. the fellow lying had to eat some crow on that one and the other person was vindicated.

Are there adj coil overs for this vehicle?
Xtra replied to thebrazz510's topic in Accessories & Modifications
I do not think there are any available . The rear end would require some extensive mods in order to accept adjustable coil overs. If you are looking to lower the car and add performance go with the H&R springs, ADDCO rear Stabilizer bar, Strut Tower X Brace and a set of summer tires. I have them all on my car and I love them . Last weekend I ran with the Mercedes club in the canyons . There was a AMG GT and some other AMG modified Mercedes. I had no problem keeping up with the pack . There was a Charger and a 911 behind me that had problems keeping up. If the Porsche was in front of the Charger I am sure he would have had no problem . The Ford Edge Sport & ST are amazing machines.- 1 reply

Changing 2019 Edge's weak single horn to dual horn
Xtra replied to 9mmbullitt's topic in Accessories & Modifications
I have a 2016 Sport and it came with a dual horn but only one horn was working. I just replaced it with a new OEM dual horn for $25 and about 20 > 30 min work. It was super easy thanks to 9mmbullitt's great instructional video. -

This is sad, Kevin Hart had a bad accident with his new 700+ HP car and it happened not that far from where I live . I drove past the crash site on Sunday and by the looks of it he gave it some throttle the tires broke loose and it was like skating on ice. There are many videos of this happening on you tube but this time someone was injured. 700HP is no joke and it takes getting use to. Get well soon Kevin you are in our payers. **** Turns out his car had 1,000 hp and was a carbon light weight wonder with no roll bar.

It is illegal to make a U turn on this Boulevard and I had to come to a complete stop to avoid a fender bender .

Moved from : What have you done to . Just out for a leisure Sunday drive when this happened. Turned out she was visiting from England.

Moved from: What have you done to. Recorded a very close call with my dash cam yesterday. This driver ran a red light and just missed being broadsided by a city bus. It was a matter of inches to a bad T-Bone crash.

Guess this guy needed a drink.

As I understand when in the carpool lane with a white line on my side it means that I can exit the lane . The double yellow line means you cannot enter the carpool lane. This guy in the white truck has other ideas. He was behind us two lanes over and had to speed up to catch us.

This happened last year on my way to Galpin Ford. It appears that this gentleman has a problem with my skin color. No big deal until he said he was going to shoot me. Turn up the volume to hear his rant.

This happened last month, lucky for me I was not hit by the iron bar. I was afraid of being rear ended after my stop so I punched it to get back up to highway speed.

I captured this right turn from the left turn lane a couple of days ago.

Ever since I installed a dash cam I have been capturing what it is like to drive in LaLa Land.

I have around 350HP and 400 TQ at the wheels with 91 and so far no problem. With 93 or E fuels my car would run much stronger. I want my car to have a long healthy life so it is tuned to run safely on 91. Snmjim has considerably more power in his beast and so far so good. Turbos, down pipes, exhaust and air intake problems have been addressed it appears that the limiting factor is fuel supply. "BCB" Brew City Boost has a HPFP but as far as I know no-one has tried it on a Edge 2.7EB. Finding a tuner and not blowing up the engine is the reason why. You need lots of fuel to make 500WHP... perhaps meth injection is something to look into . If you do decide to mod the car find a tuner willing to work with you before you start that is the best advice I can give.

Please post some photos of before and after.

Changing 2019 Edge's weak single horn to dual horn
Xtra replied to 9mmbullitt's topic in Accessories & Modifications
I guess people in Canada are just better drivers . I can't even begin to count the time I have had to use my horn to advert disaster here in La La Land. My horn is not working well and I am going to replace it with this duel setup. -
Summer heat melting sunglasses in storage area
Xtra replied to Project_Edge's topic in Interior, A.C., Heat, Interior Trim
First so sorry about your Maui Jims . I loved mine they are the best. I was wondering if you had the sun shade closed on the BAMR when this happened . Mine also got hot to touch but I keep the BAMR shade closed when parked. I broke mine recently -
