hahaha. “True Floridian” what does that even mean? Never mind, enjoy your delusional smooth brain.
You are representing Florida in your name but it doesn’t surprise me that you didn’t know that. Being a free “Floridian” in this day and age means something. Just wanted to make sure everyone knew we all weren’t like you.

Lol. I’m sure people don’t confuse us. Please tell me what a free Floridian is.. If you mean free from wrinkles on your smooth brain, you are correct. Free as a bird.

You must not be playing with a full deck if you don’t know what a free Floridian is. Just talk to your peeps in NYC. You need to trade your SUV in for a Prius.

Good one. You must be dense, recycling comments from your other dumb posts. What’s the correlation between free Florida and the 2020 election? Considering you make posts about the frustration of twisting the knob three times to reach sport mode and fitting the ST it in your garage, this doesn’t surprise me. Then you argue when people respond. #FJBLGB

Tell me. How does it feel to be living a lie.

I can't think of anything less satisfying than arguing over the internet with a complete stranger to see who gets the last word. It's never going to happen! So please, everyone who wants to fight, go start your own thread. Please?

Not sure if you watched the video or not but it was way more than just donuts in a parking lot. All fun and games driving over 100mph on a highway and take out a family of six like mine. I’m all for the donuts and stuff in an empty parking lot but not risking peoples lives that are just minding their own business.

^^ driving over the speed limit does not equal death, this is a misconception, speed limits in the US are set too low and the requirements for licensing are way too lax, hes having fun with a vehicle he paid for, let him

Who said driving over the speed limit equals death? Doing 40 mph over the speed limit weaving in and out of traffic drastically increases the chance of death or serious crashes. Based on your logic, if he causes a crash then it’s the other persons fault because licensing is too lax? Hmm. My only point is that he should be doing that crazy stuff where he won’t injury other innocent bystanders whether he paid for the car or not. As a retired police officer, I have seen far too many car accidents that resulted from reckless drivers. He has balls posting that video too. That’s something local LEOs would be interested in if they came across it.

Yep. It was the perfect vehicle for the run! Nowhere near record pace but 34 hours with the IL state trooper following me to the border of Iowa it was as good as we could ask for!

How many times have you replied to this thread? You need a hobby. Well, a different hobby.

Dear SGT-on-the-spectrum Schaffer,
I am sorry you felt personally attacked by my video and will advise management of your concerns. As a matter of fact I’m already intimately familiar with local law enforcement, they’re great people. I could also direct you to my cannonball video where you can see my ticket for 55mph over but I’m sure you’ve already seen that right? I’d link it but you’ve already given me so much ad revenue from blowing up this thread I feel it would cheapen the whole experience for everyone.

Love how all the clowns with hurt feelings feel the need to come tell the op he’s an idiot. In true forum fashion
I mean in all fairness I am an idiot. But now you know that you can leave late and arrive early for soccer practice even if it’s up a slight incline.
Just hope you don’t run into Schaff and his 9 kids en route or he’ll chase you down to tell you how irresponsible you’ve been.

He’d be picking the sand out of his vag for weeks.

Never heard of you until this thread and that video is the only one I’ve watched…..and the last one. Not for your sake but others, I hope you don’t end up eating your words.

Hey if I can't find the answers to my questions the easy way.... There's only one other way to find out!

"r" something that's for sure lol
The video did provide a lot of information from a technical point of view on how well some of the systems work under extreme conditions, most interesting to me was the intelligent 4x4 engagement and how much throttle input you needed to provide before a front tire would turn. Detecting rear tire spin before engagement

Do You still have this thing or did you get rid of it? I'm asking this because I'm wondering if you have done any logging of the oil pressure on those inclines with the approach angles nose up, down, side to side on and off the gas(Closed course,Off-road)?

There is some data during hard launches the oil pressure drops and it is speculated that the oil pan design, skirt, drain back and pickup tube design possibly may be the issue. I would like to see what a data log looks like while driven off-road (In a safe controlled environment of course) on extreme hills both forward, backward and Side to side angles both with and without hard throttle input. Based on a few pictures of the engine skirt in another thread I am not convinced that under hard acceleration is the only time a drop in oil pressure may happen.

For Science, Right?

Whenever someone says the Explorer is not up to task, not a great vehicle or reliable,
I just send them this YT link.

I also need more popcorn, I love internet fights
