  1. Hmmm...good question. Use your "registration" number from the dealer for your radio and give it a try. I know I couldn't listen online unless I registered.
  2. He needed something to put his Brush Guard on? Or, for those linguistic-specific individuals... He needed something on which to put his Brush Guard?
  3. There it is! The other mod!!!!!! OOOOOOOOO AHHHHHHHHH I really like this one. I might even do it.
  4. OOOOOOOOOOO AHHHHHHHHHHH (show us the other sick "mod" you did..show us...willya..show us..pleeeeeeease...)
  5. No kidding! Just like the lawyers who filed that law-suit trying to keep all the Americans from spending their money in Canada when the exchange rate was like .60 to the dollar.
  6. Cool! You will love the Edge. The dealer will see that your Pin number is active/good and then go from there. Some (most) dealers are happy to help you with a "plan" price because that salesman still gets credit for "moving the unit." This helps him/her with any sales contests, etc. I get the Z plan (dad is retired) but I have had friends who used friends-and-family Pins actually get better prices than with the Pin. It's really a great way to go. You can go to many websites (Ford.com, MSN.com, etc) and price out your car with exactly what you want. Walk into the dealer and hand it to the salesman. They find one, show you the prices, and you are done. Only haggling would be on a trade-in. Also, you would do better to already be pre-approved for a loan (if you are using one). Sometimes you can get a better percentage rate from the dealer - especially if you fudge on the numbers you got from the bank. My wife and I did this for her Honda. She was preapproved at 4.9 from our bank. We told the dealer she was approved at 3.9 but if they could match it, we'd go with them. They matched the 3.9 and we saved a point.
  7. As far as Sirius, you will not have to sign up for new service. They can transfer your service from one unit to another. The rest....anybody...anybody....Bueller...Bueller...anybody... (Is there an echo in here)

  9. That and the companies (Amazon and Walmart) who have DRM-free downloading/copying.
  10. HD Radio - Blah. I still love my Sirius. FORD TO MAKE HD DIGITAL RADIO AVAILABLE ACROSS NEARLY ALL PRODUCT LINES * Dealer-installed option available nationwide on nearly every 2008 model year Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicle * HD Digital Radio™ can be installed on most currently-owned vehicles built in model years 2005, 2006 and 2007 * Ford's high-definition radio strategy builds on company's effort to be among the industry's leaders in delivering new automotive entertainment technologies DEARBORN, Mich., Sept., 26, 2007 - Ford Motor Co. today became the first automaker to offer HD Digital Radio across multiple product lines. The dealer-installed high-definition radio option is now available nationwide on nearly all 2008 model year Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles. Additionally, HD Digital Radio can be installed on many earlier models from 2005, 2006 and 2007. As with SYNC, the extensive availability of HD Digital Radio furthers the company's ongoing efforts to deliver new entertainment technologies to automotive consumers. "We believe HD Digital Radio will be an important part of Ford's commitment to delivering innovations with mass appeal," said Kim Irwin, Vehicle Personalization and Accessories manager for Ford's Customer Service Division. "We're helping our customers stay connected by supporting the features and functions they want in their vehicles. The dramatically improved audio, text and data features of HD Digital Radio - along with its hundreds of new radio stations - create a compelling combination at the right price." HD Digital Radio dramatically increases the sound quality of radio broadcasts and enables more than one radio broadcast on a single channel. As a result, consumers hear a wide range of new HD2 multicast stations as well as their favorite radio stations in crystal clear digital sound with no monthly subscription fee. More than 1500 radio stations in the U.S. currently broadcast in HD digital sound, with more than 600 stations also airing HD2 multicasts. HD Radio joins other new technologies - including SYNC - being offered in Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles to make driving more enjoyable and convenient than ever before. Beginning immediately, HD Digital Radio will be available as a dealer-installed option on new, pre-owned and currently-owned vehicles. Price points will vary by dealership but, as always, HD Radio broadcasts carry no monthly subscription fee. "Drivers have always had a love affair with their car radios," added Irwin. "HD Radio offers our dealers a triple threat: It differentiates their offerings from other brands; it lets them upgrade customer entertainment systems in a unique way; and it lets buyers of recent pre-owned vehicles as well as current vehicle owners share completely in the benefits. This is the kind of program that our dealers love to see." To support the launch, Ford, Lincoln and Mercury dealers will benefit from an aggressive, multi-million-dollar, 13-week, on-air radio marketing campaign in partnership with the HD Digital Radio Alliance. The commercials will air in 100 markets over some 700 radio stations beginning on September 26, 2007. "In all of our discussions with auto makers, Ford has consistently demonstrated both the will and the resolve to be industry leaders in this arena," said Peter Ferrara, president and CEO of the HD Digital Radio Alliance. "Now that HD Radio is broadcasting across hundreds of local stations nationwide, partners who move early will gain the biggest advantage." The HD Digital Radio Alliance is a joint initiative of leading radio broadcasters to accelerate the successful rollout of HD Digital Radio. Current members include major radio groups and independent station owners: Beasley Broadcast Group, Bonneville International, CBS Radio, Citadel Broadcasting / ABC Radio, Clear Channel Radio, Emmis Communications, Entercom, Greater Media and WBEB Philadelphia.

  11. Sorry I can't help. I'm allergic to snow.
  12. Scoopo mentioned the TPMS. One thing I have noticed with a few people who went "bigger" was that the shop charged for "bigger" TPMS straps. My place DID NOT charge me for those. They were included at no charge (I asked them). Granted, I bought 4 tires and 4 wheels but still.... Watch to see if they charge you and if they do, let us know how much. The other people here should be able to tell you if the price is reasonable.
  13. I like the F-350. One question...why didn't you tint the driver's and front passenger's window?
  14. *DISCLAIMER: STREET RACING IS BAD. NEVER STREET RACE. WTF? Beat by a Pursuit? A GT (top model) only has 171 HP. There is no way you should have "lost" to this...well, and don't take this wrong but... A lot of times it isn't the ... car ...
  15. I thought the "joke" was obvious. But you are right ksaness....some people don't see things as obviously as others.
  16. I love it in the theaters. But I also heard it a few years ago in my friend's dads Lincoln and it was very nice. But I was a little let down as I had heard better in some of the custom audio set-ups I heard. Maybe the newer ones are better?
  17. Hopefully nobody will think you work at Baskin & Robbins. Or....maybe a newspaper reporter? That would be cool.
