    Tires

    You ran over a Doctor. If if was "BR", that's Junior Samples' used car lot (BR-549). Could also be "Do Not Resuscitate".

    Sensor next to center rear view mirror

    There's a tiny little sensor on the inside of the windshield, just outboard of the driver's side of the front-facing camera.

    Sensor next to center rear view mirror

    How does it do that pointed at the floor? I think the road sign camera is on the windshield, facing forward.

    FS Carbon Fiber Center Console Cover Stickers

    I bought that set (or one real close). I like it - looks like it'll stay put. The fit is remarkably good.

    Center wheel caps

    I ordered a set last night, due Thursday.

    Tires

    Still the same pressure. Take a picture of your tire sidewall and tell us what it says about the various vehicles the tire will fit. Look closely, we'll wait.

    Enhancing all the badging?

    I put this on mine: I like the color match and the carbon-fiber look.

    Premium gasoline

    Horsepower is exactly what I'm talking about. Figuring it takes sixteen or so horsepower to push the air aside, overcome rolling friction and keep the car at speed, and 93 provides 400 horsepower, that's 4% of the available ponies. I don't recall how much horsepower is available with 87, maybe...

    Premium gasoline

    There can be. I ran my Escape exclusively on 93 after I bought it. My wife and daughter drove it from Florida to Colorado. My wife grumped about having to buy "expensive" gas, so I had her run two tanks of mid-grade. The mileage dropped from mid-24s to low 22s. The cost-per-mile on mid-grade...

    Premium gasoline

    I've just recently put 87 in mine after a long road trip on 93 and feeding it 93 since purchase. Since the torque is nearly the same, and power isn't a factor on my commute, I'm going to see what my fuel-cost-per-mile is on 87 vs. 93. So far, my commute and my errands don't feel any different to...

    dumb question, whats button below park brake do?

    I've not been in a drive-through for over 20 years. With VERY rare exception, I can park, walk in, get my order and drive away before the folks who use the drive-through have picked up their order.

    ST Brake Caliper Covers

    They look neat, but the caliper needs to disperse heat. Those covers can only inhibit that function.

    Anyone had their interior door panels off.. or intending to for any reason? Wobbly windows..

    Most likely the channel that holds the rear windows has a single pivot point. The windows rock a bit when they're not up all the way. Doesn't seem to be serious. I just hold 'em steady while I clean.

    Back panel that covers storage area

    Someone needed a surf board.

    New Explorer, has a few imperfections

    Make sure you get compensated for "reduced value". Someone will look at the CarFax in a couple of years and see the damage repair entry.

    Black lug nuts

    I did all mine in between rain showers ;). I re-torqued them after running some errands.

    Black lug nuts

    Factory tint is in the glass, it isn't a film on the glass. My windows are marked "70%". I guess that meets the most stringent state statute. I put 30% on mine, so I guess that nets out to 49%?

    # of Keys with new purchase

    I purposely have three keys. One "ST" and two "Ford". My wife has one, I have one and the third is in the safe. Count your blessings if all three work for no extra $$. My third key was about $280. I did have the dealer take the third key from the Limited and program it for the ST.

    Tires

    Airless tires ("tweels") have been around a long time. Michelin put some on a Corvette a long time ago. They worked great, handled well, were nail-resistant, etc., etc. One thing they can't handle: mud. It gets caught in the webbing and throws the balance WAY off. Great idea for lawn mowers, not...
