You would have to understand the amount of money i have soaked into this overpriced lawn ornament in the 6 months i have owned it. The Ford stealer wants about $500 to do the work depending on how stubborn the exhaust is. Just isnt worth it anymore.

Took the heap for its last ride this afternoon. Traded in for an Olds Bravada. Wife needs AWD anyways.
