Hi all! Scarlet n I here! I'm a mom of 5, memaw of 5 who just happens to love working on cars. Of them all, my 1999 explorer, Scarlet, is my absolute favorite. She's been really good to me in the 12 years I've had her with the only major repair being a new tranny and replacing timing tensioners right after I got her.

Scarlet loves when I drive her but isn't too happy when the husband does. He had to drive her a couple months when his delicate little bmw got sick and she let him know what she thought about that. 17 years and now its time to replace a few things!

just a quick question, has anyone ever had a vehicle fail inspection because the parking brake light didn't come on when pushed down without the key on? I kid you not! LOL
