MI Excursion Owners

I'm on the E-way all the time and when I pass another Excursion I wonder if I'm passing one of you guys....? Any Michigan eX owners on the forum?

You know I have wondered the same thing. I live in the Grand Rapids area, and make trips to Southfield/ Detroit about once a month. Where are you? Diesel or gas?

I'm born and raised outside Chicago. I haven't heard it called the expressway in a long time! I know you said E-way but I knew what you meant!

Lol, what is it called in your neck of the woods?
Seems that I have been passing a lot of eX's on the E-way lately. I must have past about 6 or 7 just today. They were mostly hauling something...

What is the covering over the grill for? Just curious.... I know in the went I see them to stop as much wind coming into the radiator so the winter weather would not impede the heat from the heater core.

Good eye, that picture was taken when it was still a little cold out, and it helps with starting in the mornings.

Now you're taking me back! Benny Hill with my dad. I can't believe he let me watch that dirty ol' man! I loved Twilight Zone Marathons too. SNL is definitely not as good anymore.

One thing I notice when I look in Craigs List or other Michigan area car sale adds, is that the Ford Excursion is under rated here. I guess it is not in big demand for them so the value is not as great as some other areas.
