I like the steel wheels on it.

That Ford badge has seen better days. I’m probably going to try to find a new one.

Went on a little drive up in the mountains to see how it felt, and I love it even more now. One minor complaint... it wants to go down hills like a hyperactive, rambunctious puppy. I’m used to my ProMaster which is fantastic at engine braking without driver input. This one will take some getting used to. It’s the 4.6 so it’s not a powerhouse, but the power level is perfectly acceptable and it will scoot if you put the boot to it.

That speedometer looks so sad and lonely there in the middle without a tach to keep it company.

Nope, I got trucked.

If you have overdrive on, turn it off for engine braking.

And maybe a pillar tach?

Keep on trucking!

That sounds painful.

I had to put it in second actually , because I was going down a twisty steep grade and the speed limit was 25. That kept it just about right.

The ProMaster is great at it. I’m very pleased at how it handles shifting when I’m coming down from the Eisenhower Tunnel, which I’ve had to do every week for  the last six weeks.

Eh, I'm stout. I can handle it.

I replaced all my ovals with black ones. Check Amazon. They pop right off and the news stuck right on.

I’ll buy that if it strobes to the beat of my music.

NO PILLAR GAUGES.

Your grille badge looks like my tailgate badge.

Do they make an ointment for Ford badge eczema?

I concur.

I don't know if I can overstate how much I like it. I keep looking for reasons to drive it somewhere.
