    Chrome Interior Door Handles - Ford Fusion?

    Not sure, from the look it seems the handles are pretty identical but not as flat, but the image is a little low resolution to make it out. I would call up the parts department of a dealership and check the price and see one up front. If the dimensions are on, then I might just try it. Your...

    Not really a Mustang, but talk nonetheless, 2005 Escape feedback...

    Put the poll up for giggles... I am going to count as do, because I am about to own them both, and although I traded in my previous Mustang, it was only because it needed to be (97). Thanks for the link tjred, I will check that out. On another note, I picked up the truck yesterday afternoon...

    Not really a Mustang, but talk nonetheless, 2005 Escape feedback...

    Not really SFL, but I appreciate the feedback. I wanted to stay Ford as I have always been and have always been treated well. I also plan on hitting them back up for the Shelby soon so I thought it would be easier to keep it in the family and I get a discount on the Fords for where I work...

    Not really a Mustang, but talk nonetheless, 2005 Escape feedback...

    I am getting the V6 in the XLT version. I say reasonable gas mileage in comparison to basically not driving the Shelby around all day... :) But yeah, I am aware the average for City driving on that vehicle is around 17-19 mpg. Basically there isnt much better in that size and class, but...

    Not really a Mustang, but talk nonetheless, 2005 Escape feedback...

    About to sign on the dotted line for a 2005 Ford Escape. Any owners of this model year out there to give me some feedback? Any things I should look out for or have checked out first? Glaring TSB's that are known about? I have researched it a bit myself but just wanted some first hand owner...

    Pontiac drops the GTO

    On the first note, it's sad, another great car is being put under. I really liked the car even with it's bland looks department. Very capable car and not exactly ugly to look at. On another note, doesnt this make you wonder though? Am I the only one: "One is an airbag deployment standard...

    Zaino and DD Bullets on the 06

    Looks great man. I wish I could go with a Black Mustang when I get my new one, but I just wouldnt have enough weekend times to clean it every weekend. Oh well. Something else will have to do for me. Those wheels look awesome too.

    Hey Check This Out!?!

    Good luck to him getting that sold... I guess it is a valid idea though. There are some free car companies out there that will let you drive their cars during rush hour with their advertisements all over them. I guess it is a good idea. Whatever builds customer traffic...

    Dealer Beware (Long but need to get the word out)

    I totally see your point of view on how you were treated, no question about that. I your story is true, they really need to apologize for that treatment. And I somehow see some of their points as well. Someone clearly did something wrong too. If the person who did the act will not completely...

    Credit Rating ?

    Maintaining bank data IS what I do working for EMC storing for one of the largest banks out there among many others, might have heard of it too. Bank Of America. Yes, they do store that data and people like me maintain it. Redundant, maybe, better than trusting someone else to do it for you...

    Another tire question.

    Not sure about the traction control as I dont have a 2005 or 2006 yet, but the ABS should be fine as it doesnt really care how different the rotation is, just that it can keep the brakes from locking up. On the traction control it will have room to fudge the numbers a little and to my...

    Tackiest / Ricey Mustangs CONTEST

    I dont see a problem really with the yellow one in the OP. Maybe the emblem on the inside dash is a little out of place in the look of the dash, but otherwise, it's fine. Some people dont know rice, or tacky. Oh well. To each their own. Even the V6 GT500 on ebay was fine style wise. Who...

    Credit Rating ?

    Grow up Celtic, what makes you think I dont know. I am not saying I'm an expert like you probably falsly maintain to be, but I know how it works. I am only saying if you think that a credit score is a credit score, well it isnt to everyone the same thing and that formula you posted is a guess...

    Credit Rating ?

    If you believe that your credit score is static and is the same from one creditor to the next (i.e) bank, than you are mislead. It is almost never the same and isnt the same thing as say asking Equifax, etc for it. That is their score and what they have determined by either being reported to...

    Credit Rating ?

    Your credit score surely is decided by banks (unless of course you are talking strictly about Fico or equivalent scoring - in which of course what the bank has reported to crediting agencies is also considered anyways). Your credit score is also determined by anyone trying to determine whether...

    Credit Rating ?

    Your credit rating improves when you make ontime payments for amounts due. So in regards to keeping a balance, well it is better for a record to say "Paid Ontime, Balance paid in full". That is what they will see. They can typically delve deaper by looking into the complete history like "Paid...
