Sold the Blue Witch

New Job and don't need the Blue Witch (98 4X4 SC 4.0) anymore so it was traded in on a Flex.
(Hey at least I stayed with the Marque!).
Anyway, the dealership didn't want the Grille Guard so if anyone in NY City is interested its in the Classifieds or PM me.
the Mom in Law wants it outa her garage...

Also have a set of Nef bars for a 93-94 SC Ranger that also need to go away...

I don't get it yet

I've been round & round. Is a Flex a car or an FFV truck? I'd guess it's a new car as I cannot fathom why you'd give up a 4.0 V6 for a FFV Ford truck anywhere in New York region. Guess I don't follow new stuff while I'm busy getting the classic stuff working. I think I'd go cuckoo in a small Ford sedan unless it's retuned for rigidity & swap in racing seats, etc. Then rip out the A/C & condensor, dump the slushbox... Hope it works for ya.
Then again, I'd probably go cuckoo without getting in a truck a few times a month from being surrounded by large SUV's blocking my view of lights or being cut off when hanging back enough to see.

The FLEX is fords new 7-8 passenger crossover suv. It's very unique looking as it is square like a brick ha ha.

Yeah, I finally found a Wiki & forgot to follow up

Sorry 'bout that. I don't get why Ford's trying this market. I don't think the Scions hit it that big and being brick-like, the economy wouldn't be great, so are they just max'ing cabin room & keeping it low to ground or what? I think they'd be better off trying to come up with a Ford version of the royally screwed up Wranglers. My dad & I looked a the new "trail-rated" things a few months ago and & I wouldn't be confident in one on a dirt road in New Haven some miles north of here. Brake lines too close to mud tires. Market wide open I think. And a nice torquey Ford engine could do wonders in a Jeep-like thing.
