I wonder if one could get away with riding this thing on the trails at Shelby Farms...

That looks just plain fun.

Nice find! We had a red 2011 just like it (with a little less chrome), but didn't keep it long enough to see how long it would have lasted (traded it for a Mustang - that is another story). On a side note, we drove it to a cabin in Pigeon Forge from the gas station at Canada & 40 in five hours and 50 minutes and still got 25 or so MPG. And didn't even get pulled over. Good luck with Halbert's House of Horrors.

Can you ship?

Exactly. The OP seemed to be referring to a general use daily driver, not a collector.

"Boring" and "reliable" beats the socks off "soul" and "tech" every time. I would look at used Hondas or Toyotas.

Perhaps he had an EcoBoost. They had several Expeditions and I probably got them mixed up. Which reminds me, our old neighbor had an F-150 3.5 EcoBoost turbo die at 38k. I think warranty covered that one, but made me gunshy about EcoBoost. I'm not enthusiastic about turbo, period. And I was always a Ford guy lol

Nice shootin!

I handled one today and liked it. The owner said he only had about 100 rounds through it, but he's had no trouble so far. It did seem to be a bit under sprung - this is unusual; factory guns usually have too much recoil spring. The ambi safety is worthless - the right side is too slim to be of any use. The trigger felt like it was 5-6 pounds, kinda heavy for a 2011. The grip felt slimmer than other 2011s. The gun is not very useful to me as a competitive shooter, but I thought it was interesting.

Sounded like an articulate young man to me. I had no trouble understanding him.

If I still drove all over the place all day at work, I would buy it.

Another friend had a 2018? maybe Expedition 5.4 that broke a rocker arm at 60k. Warranty was gone and Ford told him too bad. I get that he had no standing, but for them to not work with him on a $50k+ vehicle with only 60k I thought kinda sucked. He is a Ford Kool-aider and he paid out of pocket to get it fixed (several thousand) and traded it in on a new Expedition with an extended warranty. I just shook my head.

How was the trigger? I've read a couple reviews saying the trigger was pretty lackluster.

Friend is a fleet mechanic and sends me pics two or three times a year of the inside of a 5.4 with a grenaded valve train. Don't even get him started about the V10s.

Never been a cop, but when you let kidnappers out early to make space for other kidnappers, you apparently need more space.

I would be willing to bet that pretty much everybody in prison made more than one bad decision. It looks like we need to build more.

If you don’t like for-profit prisons, don’t go to one. Just going by what he said.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Probably frantically scrubbing blood out of his car, washing his clothes in the sink, and hiding the victim’s clothes.

I don’t have all the answers. I have opinions on some needed changes, but I suppose that is taboo here. Whatever the case, making life easier and less consequential for criminals, as the newly elected DA wants to do, is probably going to make things worse than they are now. That is quite a feat.

Yeah but next week the woketards will be back to talking about getting rid of cash bail and disproportionate incarceration. This week will be old news.

Just another day

I'm researching this latest a-hole and it appears he caught an attempted first degree murder charge as a juvenile, was bound over to Criminal court (apparently to be tried as an adult), pleaded guilty to Aggravated Assault, and was sentenced to three years. Obviously he didn't do the three years. The last DA was criticized because she tried too many juveniles as adults. I don't think she tried enough.

So now we apparently have an active shooter riding around town randomly shooting people and Facebook Live-ing it. I need to leave Shelby County.
