I agree! That looks like crap. Plus, is only half of the Ford emblem attached?

I saw TWO diesel excursions in the same parking lot down the street within 5 mins of each other a couple days ago. I didn't get a pic, but now that I know there's a stalker thread for them, I will keep my phone handy. I see at least 1 or two a week in various places.

If anyone sees mine on the road, please wait until I get the front fender painted red before you post a picture of it here. It will get embarrassed.

I spotted my own, lol. I couldn't resist parking next to this Prius. I just wish I had the 9mpg license plate.

The new dam road is only a couple miles from where I live. And you can't see my house or vehicles from the street so you better rent a helicopter

Nope, shocks do not support the load, your springs do that.
Springs do wear though and over time they can get uneven due to fatigue and give a lean to the vehicle. A lean can also be due to uneven tire pressure (or mismatched tires) or worn out bushings on the suspension. Of course you may just be parked on uneven ground.

Perhaps? you have your front wheels turned sharply left, that will sometimes cause the Ex to lean. I also noticed the Prius gave you plenty of room!


EDIT: perhaps it's the angle of the picture and your phone's camera? The passenger side roofline appears to be further away - maybe the Ex is trying to snuggle up with the baby next to it.

Thank you, I thought I was the only one! I guess cancellation of my doctors appointment is in order
