John, I definitely like what you've done to the Exploder. Good taste, and certainly seems to be functional. Hopefully you get a lot more miles out of her!

Better make sure they have alot of tow trucks on call, LMFAO. Seems that on our cross US trip to WCBF, pretty much all the vehicles we seen on the side of the road broken down were fords. PLUS I used to own a ford so I can say the above comment, lmfao.

It'* cheaper (Regular fuel vs. Premium) and more fuel efficient(20mpg vs. 14mpg) than the bonnie

~I've put over 15,000 miles on the Explorer alone this year! DAYUM!!! I would be well over 200,000 if I just used the bonnie, which I have only put 4,000 miles on since september of 2005
