    Off topic.. Looking for a good Fusion/Milan Hybrid site

    No CEL. Something is rattling under the hood when the engine runs. I want to start it up and let it run so I can inspect it and find the cause. I'm thinking Ford must have allowed for a maintance mode to idle the engine in park, but I don't see anything in the owners book.

    Blew out a Pirelli Sunday

    My front right OEM Pirelli (235-55-zr17) blew out the sidewall at speed Sunday on the interstate. No damage to the car, which handled the event very well. The tire had about 5/32 tread left on it, as do the other 3 tires. Overall, the tires have worn very evenly and look to be in pretty...
